      Shore Hills Campground & RV Park

      Been coming here for years and always enjoy it.

      We’ve camped here for over fifteen years and always have a great experience. The campground has nice sites, water access, nature preserves and hiking within a short distance and is close to Boothbay Harbor and many other beautiful coastal Maine Towns. Since we have a big-rig, we choose to stay in the full hook-up section in the front (sites 100-149) that has long level pull thru and back-in sites. The only downside of this section is that the sites are in the open with few trees for shade and no privacy between sites. Some sites have a wooden deck on the patio with a railing around it and others have a grassy/gravel patio. RV’s 36’ or less have more choice for sites whether you want shade in the woods or waterfront. Hookups are variable (regarding electric) so be sure to check the map before picking a campsite. A dump station is located in the front of the campground. There are two bathhouses (each with laundry) that are at both ends of the park. Waterfront sites are beautiful with a view of the marsh and tidal river. Just be aware that the tides are 10-12 feet and when the tide is out, you are looking at a mudflat. There are also tent sites that are nicely wooded. Access to the park is easy off the main road and the roads within the campground are easy to navigate. The campground accepts cash or check only. There is no online booking, you either call them directly or fill out a form and mail it to them. There is a kayak launch and the campground does have boats for rent. A great amenity is the shuttle that takes you to downtown Boothbay Harbor since the parking downtown is expensive.

      Lamoine State Park Campground

      Great Find!

      Nice state campground. Older style restrooms and showers but clean. We got a beautiful site looking out at the bay. We will likely extend our already booked 2 night stay.

      HTR Acadia

      Great getaway

      This is our first campground... I'd say the bathrooms are clean and the campground itself is pretty spacious when it comes to parking which isn't what I saw with alor of others. We extended our stay because its been the staff and environment has been really nice. We have site 35 which has been secluded and nice. We are going to 11 which has a partial waterfront view but not super close to water.

      Bar Harbor Campground

      Great but not on the Leveling

      Stayed three nights and really everything was great. Site was close to the eastern bay and sunrise. Bathroom were old, rustic rustic, and a quarter to shower. Pool was nice and laundry facilities was actually really nice and lots of machines. Spent a very rainy day morning doing laundry. That’s what you do when it is racing cats and dogs, right? Location to Acadia and Bar Harbor just fine. Big benefit was the restaurant across the street, Lobster Pound! Yes, ear there at least once. Not cheap but great hot lobsters roll and lobster feast. Yum yum!

      Quietside Campground

      Quiet Indeed. Beautiful!

      Went end of Aug/Early Sept. We stayed in spot WE 8 which neighbors a small creek and forest around most of it. Space was smaller and requires leveling but was perfect for our 20ft Camp Trailer.

      Shore Hills Campground & RV Park

      Great Spot

      It's old school in that you can't reserve online, and they only take cash or checks, but the campground is beautiful, clean and well maintained.

      Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA

      Great location

      Its a great location, easy access. The local free bus comes right to the park entrance if you dont want to drive to Bar Harbour and goes to many other locations in Acadia National Park

    Guide to Owls Head

    Camping options near Owls Head, Maine offer diverse experiences within a 30-mile radius of this midcoast peninsula. The area averages 46 inches of annual rainfall with summer temperatures typically ranging from 60-80°F during peak camping season. Most campgrounds in this region operate from May through mid-October, with limited availability during shoulder seasons when nighttime temperatures can drop below 40°F.

    What to do

    Kayaking at Sennebec Lake: Launch directly from Sennebec Lake Campground where water access is convenient for paddlers. According to one visitor, "The lake is a sanctuary for families seeking a serene escape without sacrificing modern comforts."

    Hiking at Camden Hills: Explore over 30 miles of trails with varying difficulty levels at Camden Hills State Park Campground. A camper noted, "One of the real pluses of this park were the miles and miles of hiking trails just outside our doorstep. Driving the tour road to the summit of Mt. Battie (elevation 800') is a must and the views are spectacular."

    Oceanfront exploration: Walk along rocky shores at low tide when staying at oceanfront sites. "The bottom part does not, however, have true water access for swimming or kayaking. The closest place for this is the Camden City Park, which is 2.5 miles away, and is a great place to launch a kayak," mentions one Camden Hills visitor.

    What campers like

    Direct water access: Glamping options with immediate lake or ocean access provide exceptional views. At Duck Puddle Campground, "The site we had was on the water and had great views. It was surrounded by trees and had decent spacing between neighbors."

    Community activities: Many campgrounds organize regular social events. One camper at Duck Puddle mentioned, "They had a band play on Saturday night and large bonfire. Everyone was invited to attend if they wanted to. Nice family friendly campground."

    Beach proximity: Some sites offer direct access to shorelines. A visitor to Oceanfront Camping @ Reach Knolls shared, "We went swimming at their beach and saw a seal! The campground is beautiful and well maintained!"

    What you should know

    Reservation policies: Most glamping sites near Owls Head require advance booking, especially for premium waterfront locations. "Waterfront site 344 was terrific - gorgeous view, and one of the larger waterfront spots. We could launch our kayaks directly from the site," reports a camper at Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA.

    Site selection matters: Choose carefully as quality varies significantly between sites even within the same campground. One camper warned, "This would have been a 5 star campground if it were not for the fact that I paid full price for a 'campsite' that was NOT a campsite. If they try to give you site H5, just keep on moving."

    Payment options: Some smaller operations have limited payment methods. A visitor to Town Line Camping noted, "They only take cash or check so keep that in mind. It's tucked away in the woods, pretty cool spot."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly attractions: Choose campgrounds with dedicated children's facilities. A Duck Puddle camper shared, "Great beach for swimming, playground for playing. We have already booked our next trip in a few weeks!"
