R23 is a remote group campground on Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge in Maine, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is a simple site with a firepit and no tent platforms, so it works best for groups that bring their own camping gear. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Errol, New Hampshire, put July highs around 77°F with lows near 52°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. R22 and R24 are both within a third of a mile, and R26 is about 0.8 miles away. For a walk, the Potter Farm Nature Trail is roughly 1.6 miles off.
