There is some potential confusion in this question. Inside Baxter State Park is a campground called "Abol Campground, it is not on the AT and is a couple of miles south of Katadin Stream Campground on the perimeter road. The Abol trail starts at this campground and it intersects the Hunt trail (AT) up on the tablelands of the mountain. It would be several miles to the Park Boundary.
Immediately outside the boundary of the park is Abol bridge campground. This is a private campgrond managed by the people who own the Abol Bridge store. Basically the 100 mile wilderness starts as soon as you cross the bridge over the river and turn left off the road. There is usually a MATC sign set in the woods a bit that announces that you are entering the 100 mile wilderness but it does disapear on occasion.
