Amazing lakefront lot, very private and comes with a big common area to BBQ and clean Port-a-Potty on the top of the 1 acre sloped lot. Brought our own kayak to enjoy Gardner and Second Lakes!

General: 31 RV sites with w/e plus six tent sites with no hookups.
Site Quality: Our site was on grass and level enough that we could make it work without much difficulty. Sites 12A and 12B are the best IMO as they have an unobstructed view of the bay and more space between them than other sites. The lettered tent sites are also good, IMO, especially A, E, and F. Sites 1-29 are very close together with no physical separation between them in typical RV park fashion. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, however, sites 1-4 share a fire ring, making it a good choice for people traveling together
Bath/Shower house: Clean. Toilet stalls are a bit tight. The shower was also a little tight. One stall had plenty of hooks, but I could not get the faucets to work; the other stall only had one hook, but I could get the faucets to work! Plenty of hot water.
Activities/Amenities: Dishwashing sink, laundry (three washers/three dryers, $1.50 each) Free WiFi, and morning coffee on the porch. Firewood and ice are available for purchase for a reasonable amount (after-hours wood is available on the honor system). You can sign up in the office for a lobster set-up which includes a pot, burner, and propane to cook lobsters, clams, or crabs at your site. There are no activities at the campground, but you are encouraged to explore the town of Lubec, especially the West Quoddy lighthouse at sunrise. In the afternoon, we enjoyed watching the tide come in and out in the bay and I could do yoga on the grassy area. There was also a shared swing where you can enjoy the tide and sunsets.
Cindy and her husband manage this campground, and we received a hearty welcome from Cindy when we checked in. After we paid (Cash or check only, no credit cards), she gave us the lowdown on what we should see and do in the small town of Lubec, especially the West Quoddy house lighthouse (which despite its name, is the easternmost point where you can see the sunrise in the US). Very quiet campground that was about half full when we were there. And yes, if the weather cooperates, the sunsets are beautiful.

Cobscook State Park is beautiful. The park is big, and many sites are very far apart - we had almost complete privacy. There are both reservable and non reservable sites. Some sites have Adirondack shelters. All sites have picnic tables and fire pits. The majority of the tent sites and small rv sites, and some larger rv sites, are on the water. We stayed at 2 different sites - a waterfront site and non waterfront - and both were scenic and private. There is no water/electric/power at any site. There are water stations around the park, as well as a bath house and dump station. The park rangers are friendly and helpful. There is a lot of wildlife and waterlife - we saw many seals and cormorants in the water, as well as a few eagles. You can launch a kayak from your campsite, or from the large dock/boat launch area in the park. Kayaking should be done with prior research to ensure familiarity with the tide changes (which are up to 20 ft) and currents, which are strong and dangerous in certain areas of Cobscook Bay. There is a great map published by Cobscook Shores that shows recommended kayak areas and tide access. It includes the launch that is in the park. https://cobscookshores.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/CS-System-Map.pdf
There are also a few open areas for picnicking or just relaxing, as well as a play area for kids. There are a few nice, relatively short and easy hiking trails that run through the park. One of the trails is right at the entrance, so you can park there if needed. For more advanced hiking, the Cutler Preserve land, Boot Head, and Quoddy Head are all nearby and offer incredible hikes of varying distances, up to 10 miles. Quoddy Head also has a lighthouse that is a popular attraction .

I really enjoyed playing Doraemon X! The gameplay is super fun and full of surprises. The colorful graphics and engaging challenges make it a great experience!

Not well known.
RangerNice little campground. $15/night now and is paid through a slot at the office/restroom building (see pictures).
RangerSites are right on top of each other--better hope you like your neighbor! Otherwise, good location if you're traveling in a van/RV to the Lubec area and want a spot near town. Showers are a bit tiny, but great in that they're not coin-op nor on a timer.
Ranger
Called and got a reservation day-of as my husband and I were driving through. We had a pleasant stay on a great site with a beautiful view and managed to get showers in and laundry done, too!
ScoutNice big camp ground, clean bathroom and shower. Close to interstate 95.

Pay no attention to any reviews that are a year older as there are new owners now. The prices have tripled and there are 7 pages of rules you have to sign off on!! This campground has lost its personality! The previous owners were fantastic and extremely accommodating. New owners are invisible and everything is automated online and pricing is ridiculous! This used to be a very busy place but not anymore! I hope the new owners figure it out before it’s too late!
Ranger
Picked this location because it was close to several locations we could take day trips to the coast.
Visited Bar Harbor, Eastport and several places in between.
Because of those activities, we spent most of our time here sleeping and preparing 1-2 meals a day.
Evenings here were pretty quiet and not much traffic after dark. Bathroom was good but no water or garbage service.
Ranger
Stayed for two nights after Labor Day. Only one other camper in the park and we never saw them but occasionally we could hear a voice. Other than that, it was quiet.
There are about 9 campsites, each with a picnic table, a fire ring and a large camping and parking area for each site.
The best feature of this campground is the view. There is a Lake on both east and west sides of the camping area. Three sites are view of both lakes from the camp sites. I woke up to a view of one lake and my wife saw the other lake from our camper.
The campground has three pit toilets. The large size of the camp sites makes it feel more secluded than it is
We did hear something like a lumber mill operating one morning. Not sure what that was all about.
A Ranger stopped by and visited with us. He then offered us a brochure on the camping area we are planning to visit next. Nice customer service right at our camp site!
ScoutDespite taking place during the period of social distancing, everyone at the SF-160 campsite strictly followed the clearly posted epidemic prevention regulations. This created a safe and comfortable space for everyone. Experience Traffic Jam 3D right now!
ScoutI stayed in a small site, just me and my vehicle. I asked for a quiet spot with elec and the site was perfect. It is basic, but more like what you would find at national parks, which I prefer MUCH MORE. My spot was shaded and level enough to have a tent, vehicle, chairs and table (not provided at my site), and they have a fire ring.
It isnt the usual RV sites that are sterile and squished in like sardines, so if thats what you looking for, this isnt it.
I paid $36 for my night, on par with national/ state parks, but much cheaper than most commerical camping grounds. The area is a little overpriced, so it was nice to stay somewhere reasonable, especially at the end of the season.
THere isnt wifi, my car (ATT) got better service than my phone (Tmobile).
The road is decent, maybe a few spots to watch out for, and they ask you to keep the speed down (5mph) so they are trying to take care of it (or not let it get torn up too much)
I didnt use the shower, but the bathroom was plumbed.
ScoutNice little site, great views
TravelerWhat others have said is true. The staff were all very friendly and the pool and playground are well maintained. However, the spaces are very close together and there are no scenic views. The other drawback is the number of seemingly full time units. These units had wooden “improvements” over and around the campers indicating the RVs haven’t moved in a while and won’t move any time soon. Overall, it didn’t “feel” like a campground. It felt more like a mobile home park
LegendPros: Location overlooking Johnson Bay 50 AMP & water hookup 4 miles from eastern most point in US
Cons: Gravel site No shade No sewer hookup

This was really a beautiful spot to set up camp. I stayed here for only 1 night as I had reservations in Acadia (about 45 minutes outside Acadia) but I will absolutely come back in the future. The hike in is only about 1/2 mile so it’s totally doable even if you need to make two trips. The spots are secluded enough but not isolated. People in the other campsites were very friendly and respectful. Had dinner on the beach as the sun set behind the lake and the hike the next morning was a good climb for only about a 3+ mile hike.
GuideThis is a huge campground. So many of the campsites here are lovely, many with views of the water and the amazing change of tides. Some are perched on a slope with tent platforms level but not much else on the site is. Pit toilets. There are showers at the main area, a bit of a walk or drive. There is a boat launch area a short distance away and the kayaking is great. This campground was so quiet and peaceful. We loved it.

Pretty quiet and right near the border if you are looking for a stop before/after crossing.

We spent a few weeks here in the fall while passing through Maine. There is a private forested area on the property that is perfect for hiking and foraging. The best part is the farm stand where you can buy delicious fresh baked goods. Power/water/sewer worked great. We had full cell reception with T-mobile and Verizon. Farm dogs were very friendly and got along with our puppies.We will be coming back the next time we are in the area!

Spent a night at Piscataquis Point and had a great time! This was a very quiet and peaceful place but easily accessible from multiple directions and only like 20 mins from I-95. This spacious area has all the amenities covered allowing you to unplug and unwind like you’re in the middle of nowhere, the handcrafted touches from the outhouse to the fire pit add a unique, welcoming and comfortable feel. Sitting next to a warm, crackling fire listening to the sound of the river was truly the cherry on top and made for a very relaxing evening. This spot is somewhat of a hidden gem, clean and well up kept, this is the type of place that you’ll want to revisit again and again.
LegendA sought-after destination, this popular spot boasts gravel and dirt parking lots enveloped by trees yet strategically cleared for ample sunlight. The area serves as a hub for day hikes and offers five oceanfront walk-in campsites.
Most vehicles in the lot belong to hikers and campers. The pit toilet is well-maintained. 14 days of free camping within a 45-day window.

Great free off grid camping near Canadian border. The other previous reviewers did a great job explaining the campground. The only exception is that we had 4 bars of LTE service (AT&T) which was nice. Camp sites today are very buggy- bring your repellent and/or netting.
ScoutWe stayed in the 12th spot at the end and had an incredible time for a week stay. Cheap and perfect for any gellow boondockers
TravelerBeautiful place. Clean sites. Easy to find and right off rt 9. Seems to be a bathroom pit-stop for travelers on rt 9 due to having the maintained bathroom. So lots of traffic driving in, using the toilet and then driving right back out.
