McClellan Park

Not well known.

Nice little campground. $15/night now and is paid through a slot at the office/restroom building (see pictures).

We stayed in the 12th spot at the end and had an incredible time for a week stay. Cheap and perfect for any gellow boondockers

Private place to camp right by the shore. Excellent rates. Nice, well maintained trail to bathroom/shower and to coast. Perfect place for a quiet camping experience!

Just a few miles off the beaten track of Route 1 in Milbridge, Maine, lies a simple and inexpensive little campground with few amenities but with direct access to a stunning, rocky coastline. With just 12 sites, the campground can only accommodate a few larger RV’s. The sites are simple and rustic with a small spot for a few tents, fire pit and a picnic table. The bathrooms are a bit of a walk from the farthest site, but offer flush toilets and a single outdoor shower. Be the first one in the morning and you’ll get some hot water, but if there is a line, you are better off waiting it out. But what can you ask for when the site is only $10 bucks? It’s ocean view you’re there for!  Water sport options abound.

There was a sign saying, “no trailers” on the road, but we made it just fine and the camp hosts never said anything about it. With that said, if the campground is busy, large RV’s would have a very hard time turning around at the end of the road, as there is no circle drive. So scout it out first before you head down the road.

We also had a run in with one of the park’s Red Squirrels who chewed through our engine’s fuel line while we camped there. Have never had this happen anywhere else and it probably never will again. Super helpful campground host helped us get the truck fixed!  Full story about the psycho rodents can be found here.

Milbridge is the closest town, about 6 miles away and has all that you need while camping in the area.

A short distance from the ocean, you can practically hear the waves crashing along the rocks - We camped here in early August and the bugs we absolutely terrible. TERRIBLE! You could hear them swarming around the tent. High pitched buzzing and all. Down by the water it was at least bearable, but at the site I hardly left the tent. The host of the area was a really nice guy. He even gave us some firewood so we could enjoy the night.The ground is very moist - almost mossy, still a wonderful spot to rest your head in peace and quiet.
