Cobscook Bay is quiet and beautiful. Almost every campsite features a water view. It is the most quiet campground I've ever visited. There are some important things to know:

1. There are NO flush toilets, but there are many outhouses throughout the park.

2. There are 3 male, 3 female, and one ADA shower with plentiful wood boiler fueled hot water. One shower was broken when we visited. The men's lacked shower curtains. There are hot and cold water sinks with mirrors in the shower house.

3. There are no dumpsters, there are a few garbage cans throughout the park.

4. You can rent clamming gear. There is no sign for this, you have to ask.

5. The office staff do not all wear uniforms, they are friendly but not as over the top welcoming as at other State Parks. They do not preach about bears, raccoons, quiet time, or safety. Be smart on your own.

6. It is not easy to access the water. The campsites are high on "cliffs" you have to Scrabble down to the water from most sites. Still, you have a two or three sided water view with fantastic tidal changes.

7. Prepare for the smell of tidal mud flaps at low tide. The outhouses emit a similar fragrance.

8. Prepare to enjoy the spectacular beauty of the region: Moosehorn Wildlife Refuge, West Quoddy Head Light House, Blueberries, hiking, exploring, eating local cuisine.

9. Don't miss out on Lubec Brewing Company or Campobello Island

10. Bring your passport and be prepared for a relaxing adventure.
