Bradford Camps (ME3) is in Ashland, Maine. The field elevation is 815 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the published facts, so plan from the current Chart Supplement and the airport operator before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The published remarks matter here. This is a private seaplane base with VFR operations only. It is also noted as being used to help resolve traffic pattern conflicts with ME86. Flight following is unreliable at low altitudes. Do not count on it close in. Clearance delivery is handled through Boston ARTCC at 603-879-6859. For services call 207-433-0660.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL only if the current Chart Supplement and local procedures support that assumption for your flight. The seaplane base is closed for winter from November to April. Winter contact is 207-746-7777 or maine@bradfordcamps.com. Aircraft maintenance frequency is 122.85. If you are planning a first visit, verify current access, operating limits and any local traffic flow details before departure. This is a small, non-towered seaplane environment, so keep your scan tight and expect local traffic discipline to matter.
