Best Campgrounds near Coopers Mills, ME

The sites here are nicely wooded and have a decent amount of separation between most of them BUT the campground is located too close to the road and, with the exception of sites 84-87 and cabins 8-10, you will hear road noise in your site. Options are 10 rustic cabins, tent sites, partial and FHU sites. 

The bathhouse was very clean and there are both outdoor and indoor showers; both looked nice although we did not use them. 

I thought $50 for a tent site was a little steep but it was all the potential extra fees that irked me:

*$30 site lock to ensure you get the site you want when you reserve. I took a chance and was able to get the site I reserved without paying this fee

*$4 weather guarantee (allows you to cancel due to inclement weather). I didn’t bother with this one

*7.95 if you need to hook up to WiFi. We were able to use our own portable WiFi

*$10 to use the dump station (we found another place that charged $5) 

Aside from the fees and proximity to the road, this is a nice campground with a host of amenities: pool (which I was surprised was still open on October 1), horseshoes, laundry, dishwashing sink, a playground, and trash pick-up at your site. There is also a path to the shore with picnic tables, and chairs. Repairs to the sea wall are in progress so caution was recommended.

Tops’l Farm offer the best of glamping.  Located in Waldoboro, they create a wonderfully balanced experience between the outdoors and glamp.  While their model continues to evolve, camping is not available on all days/weekends.  They create special weekend camping events and retreats.   We participated in a weekend camping event that included a farm to table meal on Saturday evening in their barn.  They had recommendations for places to visit during the rest of the weekend, which we did not do.  

Their model is a stay that costs a price, plus a lot of a la carte “extras” that you can order.  We ordered Friday dinner and wine;  and breakfast for one morning.  Depending on the weekend, ‘extra’ offers could also include yoga, foraging, s’mores kits, etc.  

Tops’l Farm has both cabins and glamping tents.  The bath house is very nice for a camp bath house, with soap and shampoo.    The cabins are full of creature comforts, including nice sheets and blankets, lanterns, and an overall beautifully appointed space that is still rustic.  Each cabin has a fire pit.  

The farm dinners offer delicious food with ingredients from local farms.  The food is delicious, simple and very satisfying all at the same time.  The barn that they hold the dinners in is simple yet elegant.  There is a camp store where you can buy beer, wine, snacks and other basic items.  

They truly curate a lovely glamping experience.  It isn’t cheap, but if you want a glamping weekend, it’s one of the best.

We loved our stay at the blueberry fields!   This is private land that the owner rents to campers.  We stayed in campsite 2, where the land is open and flat, and there was plenty of room for our rv.  There are 4 total campsites, and each  offers a slightly different view and sense of privacy.  The owner met us when we arrived.  Dogs are allowed.  It is dry camping, with no hookups, and generators are not allowed.   The owner had a picnic table set up with flower boxes in it, and there was a nice fire ring. They will sell you wood if you need it.  There was one other camper at site 1, and we could also see the owners house, but both were far enough away that we had a great sense of privacy. There was a shared porta potty available for use for all of the campsites.  The land was quiet and peaceful - it is acres of blueberry fields, which create a special sense of being in nature. The site we were at had a nice tree, which framed the site. The owner was very responsive to questions we had, and responded quickly.   The area was very quiet - at night we only heard the crickets and the wind.

You are close to Castine, Ellsworth, Blue Hill, Deer Isle and Stonington.  There are numerous hiking trails in the area that can be found on All Trails, as well as easy places to kayak from, the closest of which are the Brooksville Town Landing, or Bucks Harbor public boat launch.

Small beautiful campground right on the water. Away from the busy stuff but close enough to visit it if you want.

Tried to ask about winter camping and the lady was wicked rude

I flew out from Minnesota this December to ski in Maine. Had some good riding at Sunday River! 

I really enjoyed my stay at Runaround Woods in Bobcat for three nights! The lodging was warm and comfortable with great views. I was able to watch the moon rise each night as I was falling asleep. 

The campground was set in the woods with lots of wildlife and amazing views of the night sky. Fun walking trail around the property. I played multiple rounds of disk golf and stopped at the proshop for a runaround woods branded disk. The wood fired sauna was really nice after a day of snowboarding. The host Ryan was very accommodating and helped me get the most of my stay. Ryan help heat up the sauna and also had great recommendations for local dining and shopping. 

Highly recommend this stay for anyone looking to get out and explore Maine! Fun and comfortable lodging with a great host!

Everything was fine , except the owner, very weird !

I was nervous at first when I pulled up in a camper van--the "campground" was very much geared towards seasonal campers in large RVs. However, I was able to grab one of just a couple open spots on a Thursday afternoon. The staff (and residents) were so friendly and helpful. There were restrooms with coin-op showers and also a laundry room. Knocked off one star for the lack of privacy between sites and for the price ($70+ for essentially a parking spot with water/electricity is a bit much imo--at least make the showers free! lol)

Such a cute little spot for a nice get away, wood fired hot tub, and sauna. Would recommend this place to anyone!

I value the reviews left here, so I felt I needed to leave an honest review in hopes it will help someone else. We stayed here for almost 2 weeks. During that time there was a sewage smell near the bathhouse. The sites are not level and most are not shaded or very wide. We also had brown water and were extremely thankful for our multiple water filters. We paid for a 30 amp service, but had low voltage the entirety of our stay. The solution that was proposed, was that we remove our Watchdog EMS and Surge protector. We decided to keep our Watchdog on. They had several campsites on the same breaker, something we have never seen at any campground in our 3 years of travel. On our last day, we didn't even have enough voltage to keep fans running inside our RV. Please be aware that low voltage seems to be an ongoing problem as an RV behind us had an electrical cord burn up while we were there.

We were greeted with the most amazing, kind and service oriented staff! Just wonderful to see these days. Our site was a pull through and it was wooded and flattish. Some rocks on boulders, but we fit in fine. We were right next to a tenting site. Kind of close, but we managed to put the back of the RV toward their site. It is dog friendly!!! Lots of things to do on grounds and around this area. We had a great time. Plus, they have nice hot showers for free. No quarters here! lol In short, we loved our time here.

We stayed in a large tent site. Very quiet and clean. We also fished off the dock.

I recently stayed at the Tiny Cabins of Maine with my family for two nights, opting for their tent camping site. From the moment we arrived, the host's warm welcome made us feel right at home. Despite some distant road noise at night, the overall ambiance was serene and beautiful. The tent camping amenities, including the pop-up toilet and sturdy wooden platform, were thoughtfully provided. The fire pit and picnic table were perfect for evening gatherings, and the hammock added an extra touch of relaxation. We enjoyed the pub's games and even tried our hand at axe throwing. Kayaking in the pond was a highlight, thanks to the convenient dock. While the trails required attention to follow, the directional signs helped. Overall, I highly recommend Tiny Cabins of Maine for a memorable small family retreat, and we're already looking forward to returning in the future.

Jake from the Dyrt here! We're excited to have this campground on the Dyrt and ready for you to book, check them out and make sure to leave a review!

Safe and beautiful camping spot
