713 Reviews

Camping opportunities around Sedgwick, Maine include a mix of coastal and inland options, with several waterfront campgrounds offering views of the Atlantic. Oceanfront Camping @ Reach Knolls in nearby Brooklin provides tent, RV, and glamping accommodations with water views and beach access. The region's camping landscape extends to the Deer Isle-Stonington area, approximately 15 miles south of Sedgwick, where additional developed campgrounds serve both tent and RV campers seeking proximity to the rocky Maine coastline.

Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, typically from May through mid-October, with limited off-season availability. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when coastal Maine experiences peak visitation. Many campsites feature water and electric hookups for RVs, while tent sites are typically situated in wooded areas providing natural shade and privacy. Campground amenities vary significantly, with some offering full facilities including showers and laundry, while others maintain a more rustic experience. A camper noted, "Clean, orderly and peaceful. Great campground for small rigs, pull behinds, vans and tents. Water view sites are very limited so book ahead."

The proximity to water defines many camping experiences near Sedgwick. Several visitors highlighted swimming opportunities and oceanfront views as standout features. Campsites with water views consistently receive high ratings but tend to book quickly. Maine's blueberry fields provide an alternative camping backdrop in the area, with one reviewer describing their experience as "bucolic bliss" with "acres of blueberry fields, which create a special sense of being in nature." Site privacy varies considerably between campgrounds, with some offering well-spaced, secluded sites while others place campers in closer proximity. The region provides good access to outdoor activities including kayaking, hiking, and exploring nearby coastal villages like Stonington, Blue Hill, and Castine, with Acadia National Park approximately an hour's drive away.

    Blackwoods Campground — Acadia National Park

    Good spot but wood is rough

    I love the spot but all the wood is from outside the campgrounds. Its not so “dry” more like just chopped and bundled had to tend to it for over a hour+ just to get enough dry to keep the fire going. But overall a very nice quite camprground.

    Megunticook Campground

    Watch out for their prices

    Online the prices was 40$ for a tent site. We didn’t need water or electric just a spot to sleep for the night. I called to reserve cause the website wasn’t very easy to work with and the man on the phone said 76$ but couldn’t explain costs and was rude with the “you’ll not find another spot for this cheap!” Which we did. For less than half that cost. So watch out on prices and the extra charges.

    Blackwoods Campground — Acadia National Park

    So lucky!

    We tried staying here in the summer a few years back and it filled up weeks ahead of time. We got lucky this trip and got one spot open same day. Got here super late and was surrounded by other campers but the trees all around gave us privacy and everyone was super quiet so no disruptive folks like so many campgrounds. The bathrooms don’t have showers of course but they are so clean it was a great thing from other sites pit toilets. If you’re in Acadia this is the spot!

    Forest Ridge Campground

    Clean, quiet and affordable

    Stayed here while visiting friends and Acadia NP. Facilities very clean every time I saw them. Showers were nice but you need to wait for the hot water. Run it all hot and it will get there in a little while. Wood available on site. Open spaces in the middle with no trees or shrubs. Campers can be very close. Sides have more wooded sites. Not too many seasonal looking sites. 1 issue: our clean out was a bit high so had to lift sewer hose to clear it out. Didn’t use pool , laundry area worked good , screen porch at facility building. Fire ring worked out well, kept lots of heat in. We were off-season mid September. Reservation system forced us into our site, wants to charge a site selection fee.

    Nice location, actually on the ocean

    A bit pricey, but it is a nice location and the free island bus stops right at the KOA

    Blackwoods Campground — Acadia National Park

    Beautiful campground and a beautiful park!

    A good campground in a absolutely wonderful park. There's a lot of trees around so even though the campsites are close together they feel very private. Good amount of bathrooms, trash cans, and water spickets

    Smuggler's Den Campground

    Great place

    We stayed here one night in mid September without a reservation. Helpful staff, clean and tidy campground. There is a new bathhouse by the tents which I used - very nice! I would come again!

  • Wildlife Watching: Keep an eye out for local wildlife. Campers at Seawall Campground have reported seeing deer and even moose nearby. One visitor noted, "We did see dozens of deer (big and small) in this location; by far the most wildlife of any of the three Acadia campgrounds."

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms and showers. A visitor at Schoodic Woods Campground said, "The bathroom area has Wi-Fi. Since we were close we had Wi-Fi at our site which was nice. The sites are very big and all in this loop are pull-through sites."

What you should know:

Tips for camping with families:
