R26 is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service campground in Maine, about 5 miles from the town of Upton. It sits among a cluster of numbered campsites, with R24 and R23 both within a mile. The place is a simple base for an overnight stay, and its neighbors make it easy to pair with another campsite or a day of exploring the surrounding trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 52°F, while winter highs stay below freezing from December through February. The closest trails are the Potter Farm Nature Trail, about 1.6 miles away, and Thurston's Cove Trail, roughly 3 miles off. The Androscoggin River in New Hampshire, about 5 miles away, offers river fishing, and the Rapid River in Maine is a little over 6 miles away.
