I think the paid primitive sites are more abundant the closer you get to Baxter (Debsconeag, Deboullie, etc. if I’m not mistaken). But I’m not sure that I’ve ever had to pay a fee at any of the primitive sites I’ve stayed at in the western part of the state.

Take a look at the legend. There are two different teepees, one designating primitive sites and the other for campgrounds. I’ve stayed at many of the primitive sites, and where there’s one, there’s usually more in the vicinity.
