Few people would have guessed three years ago that the three-acre property at 154 Limestone St. in Caribou would be a scenic campground. Back then, old tires, car seats and other scrap metal jutted out of the ground, all remnants of an auto salvage yard that closed years ago. But now seasonal campers have reserved all but two of the nine available recreational vehicle spots near the shores of the Aroostook River. Walking paths bring people straight to the shoreline, where they can launch kayaks and canoes, fish or just enjoy the view. The campground, the vision of a local couple, has inched Caribou a bit closer to a revitalized riverfront.
