The Best Camping Near Whiting, Maine

This is one of 5 available campsites along the Cutler Coast Bold Coast hiking trail. Situated on top of a little knoll overlooking the Bay of Fundy, this is a lovely gem. The site is extremely small and it's obvious others have found other spots outside of the designated area to camp (please don't be on of those folx). There is a small wooden stair case that leads up to the small flat spot. Our 3 person tent fit but it was quite tight and I find it difficult to imagine trying to squeeze a larger tent in the spot. I suppose that's why the group size is limited to 4 at each site.

  

There is a small wooden box with a toilet seat, surrounded by hardware wire that is boasted as a "toilet." These were quite full and odiferous, a pit toilet would be less offensive to the eyes and nose but I'm sure the State has their reasons. 

  

The views are spectacular and the sunrise won't disappoint if you're there on a clear morning. There is a nice large rocky beach a short distance from the campsite where we spent the afternoon in the sunshine watching the tide come in (you can get stranded on the rock at high tide so be advised). This time of year (spring) there was fresh running water available to treat/filter for drinking. I've heard that most of the water sources are totally dry by the middle of the summer so you may need to hike in all of your water depending on the time of year you visit. 

  

There is supposed to be a register at the trail head for folx to sign in on to help prevent you from hiking in and not being able to find a site. That being said, there was only a single sheet of notebook paper that was already full when we arrived. We donated the only sheet of paper we could find in the car and added it to the register. I was hesitant to put our exact camping locations for safety reasons, as two female hikers I intentionally left the register information vague. 

  

This is a very popular location so plan on getting an early start or visiting in more of the "off season."
