Macannamac Camps History

“Like owning your own camp in remote Northern Maine.”

Macannamac Camps was founded by Jack McPhee in 1985 on Spider Lake and expanded to Haymock and the construction of Haymock 1 and then the Lodge in 1987. Jack was a legend in the North Maine Woods as a Maine Game Warden Pilot and experienced woodsman. Tragically, Jack passed away while surveying collared Canada lynx in 2004 and his wife Josie continued the mission of renting camps at an affordable price to mostly Maine clients over the next several years. Dave Allen and Josie have now owned and operated the camps for nearly 20 years before completing their succession plan for the camps with the House family in 2022. Jason and Trisha House are delighted to have Josie and Dave stay on to operate the camps and provide a smooth ownership transition for their clients. Rest assured, little will change at Macannamac, because little needs to. Jason and Trisha look forward to Macannamac's loyal clients returning for many years to come.
