Coastal campgrounds near Trevett, Maine accommodate various camping styles within a 10-mile radius of Boothbay Harbor. The region includes established campgrounds like Shore Hills Campground & RV Park and Sagadahoc Bay Campground that support tent camping, RVs, cabins, and glamping experiences. Most developed campgrounds in this region provide oceanfront or water-view sites with differing levels of amenities and hookups. Several mixed-use campgrounds feature both primitive tent sites and full-hookup RV options, providing flexibility for different camping preferences.
Most campgrounds in the Trevett area operate seasonally from May through October, closing during the harsh Maine winters. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when waterfront sites fill quickly. The coastal location brings variable weather conditions with cool ocean breezes even during warm summer days. Many campgrounds provide electric hookups, water access, showers, and bathroom facilities, though amenities vary considerably between locations. Sites range from level gravel pads with full hookups to more rustic options with just a fire ring and picnic table. A camper noted, "The park is well situated amongst many Maine towns all of which are worth a visit. Camden is around 1 1/2 miles and is a nice place to spend a few hours walking around and enjoy New England."
The oceanfront camping experience distinguishes the Trevett area from inland Maine camping areas. Several visitors highlighted the scenic coastal views and water access as primary attractions. Waterfront sites typically command premium prices but offer direct beach or bay access. Campgrounds in this region often feature boat launches, kayak rentals, or docks for water recreation. The proximity to working waterfronts and lobster pounds provides authentic Maine coastal experiences. Interior sites typically offer more privacy and protection from coastal winds while still maintaining access to shared amenities. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "The water view was beautiful, but there is no possible position for privacy from the site to the right or left or behind unless you're inside your tent." Campers frequently mention the accessibility of nearby attractions including lighthouses, historic towns, and nature preserves as enhancing their camping experiences.
"Small campground with a couple spots for rigs and a wooded area for tenting and small pull behinds. This is not a resort. Simple place to land and enjoy the coast of Maine."
"It’s a wide open field, and you’re definitely next to people with no trees to separate you but the sites have plenty of space."

GuideThere are no bad camping spots at this charming, scenic, squeaky clean campground. If you love water views, walking trails and exploring low-tide. Run, don’t walk and make a reservation today!
TravelerLet me start by saying, I’ve “camped” very few times in my life. We ended up here on a whim and I couldn’t have asked for more. The staff were friendly and informative. Even had a cookie for the dog. There were some items for sale as well as a few books about the history of the camp and the owners.
We were in spot 24. Three sides were surrounded by trees, bushes…nature…you get it. There was a picnic table and a fire pit. It was quiet, we didn’t hear the other campers. There are a few apple trees on the property that lended something to the vibe.
The views were incredible. The sunset and sunrise were so stunning I ran out of words to describe them.
The stars were so vibrant. With each passing hour more were revealed.
If I find myself in Maine needing a little reprieve, I’ll be returning.
ScoutLovely and peaceful property. Owners responsive; no contact check in. Would stay again if in the area
ScoutIt'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.
ScoutThis campground is near our home but one feels miles away. Lovely views of the shoreline, saltwater pool, and many choices for hook-ups. We stayed there over Labor Day weekend in 2025 and are returning this year in 2026
GuideThis campground is a quiet little gem. Our campsite is right up against the woods. Some sites are completely shaded and others are more open for Starlink. Water and electric are available.
ScoutWe stayed midweek and the park was 1/2 empty. Lots of kids activities. Wonderful bathrooms and showers. Great laundry. Close to Freeport but not the water
ScoutWe just came back from a big family weekend there. We had 5 sites with 19 people(including children). This is by far the most rundown campground I've stayed! Only 1 bathroom facility was functioning. Of the 3 times I tried taking a shower, I only succeeded 1 time. The other 2 times(once at night and once the following morning at 6am) I only got drops coming out of the hot and cold faucets. I tried the only 2 stalls. Speaking of bathrooms...these have not been updated since the 60s-early 70s when I was camping with the same style bathroom facilities. The children's playground should be condemned!!! At least 25% of the wood is rotted. Some steps are missing from ladders. My granddaughter was swinging in the childs swing, the bottom unlatched and she fell through the bottom. If she wasn't monkey like in holding on she would have done a face plant to the ground. After looking at the swing, I found the plastic latch broken! 2 positives: the campsites are very nice! and the beach is great! Bottom line, these owners are not putting any money back into the campground and it's facilities. They are running it into the ground. I won't be coming back again!
ScoutVery nice camp spot. Private away from other spaces. Very nice site manager. Must be self contained, no hook up amenities available. Trash dumpster on site.
Camping areas near Trevett, Maine sit along Maine's rocky midcoast region, where ocean waters remain cold even during summer months, rarely exceeding 65°F. The Boothbay Harbor area receives approximately 48 inches of rainfall annually, with fog commonly rolling in from the Atlantic during early morning hours. Most campsites in this region sit at elevations under 100 feet above sea level, resulting in minimal temperature variations between coastal and inland locations.
Kayaking at tidal inlets: Several campgrounds offer direct water access for kayaking during specific tide periods. At Sagadahoc Bay Campground, campers can experience the changing tides firsthand. "When the tide goes out you have the entire inlet to walk around in and explore. At night the stars were absolutely amazing!" notes Michael H., highlighting the unique tidal environment.
Clamming expeditions: Obtain a clamming license at local campgrounds and dig for fresh shellfish during low tide. "Fresh lobsters cooked and delivered to our campsite.. Who could ask for anything more in ocean front camping," writes Chrisdin D., describing the seafood experience at Sagadahoc Bay.
Visit working farms: Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground combines camping with agricultural experiences. As one camper notes, "My kids enjoyed visiting with the farm animals and walking along the rocky shore each day. Plenty to do between biking, kayaking, farm experience and visiting downtown Freeport close by."
Lighthouse touring: The iconic Pemaquid Point Lighthouse stands just a short distance from camping areas. "The campground is about a mile from the lighthouse, an easy drive or bike," reports Kenneth K. about Pemaquid Point Campground, making it convenient for visitors to explore this historic maritime landmark.
Oceanfront sites with tidal views: Many campers specifically request waterfront locations to experience Maine's dramatic tidal changes. "With the ocean just outside our RV the location is hard to beat," notes Kevin W. about his stay at Sagadahoc Bay Campground, where the water views are a primary draw.
Dark skies for stargazing: The limited light pollution in coastal Maine creates excellent stargazing conditions. Michael H. noted during his stay at Sagadahoc Bay: "When the tide goes out you have the entire inlet to walk around in and explore. At night the stars were absolutely amazing!"
Farm-to-table dining options: Shore Hills Campground & RV Park provides access to local seafood markets. A camper recommends: "You have to stop at Bet's Fish Fry for the best fried fish and chips you have ever had. Bring a beer or two and enjoy eating your food on the picnic tables in the nearby park."
Brewery access: Boothbay Craft Brewery & RV Resort combines camping with craft beer tasting. "The brewery is really cool, and the wood fired pizza is some of my favorite. The folks who run this place are really friendly and accommodating," shares Joe R., appreciating the unique camping-brewery combination.
Reservation timing varies widely: For popular waterfront sites, plan far ahead. At Hermit Island Campground, "The most unique feature of this campground happens at low tide when you can walk over a mile out towards the lighthouse on Sequin Island. Plenty of clamming and watching wild life like hermit crabs, crabs, seagulls or your dogs running in joy on the soft clay like surface."
Insect preparation is essential: Coastal woodlands harbor significant mosquito populations. "Be prepared to deal with mosquitos! Many people use screen tents. We've always had good results using thermacell units," advises Marilyn S. about camping at Hermit Island.
Electrical hookups can be distant: Some campgrounds have unique electrical setups. At Thomas Point Beach and Campground, a camper notes: "The electrical hook ups are like 1 box for every 10 camping spots so they r kinda far away so make sure u have an extension cord of some sort."
Tidal access limitations: Water activities are tide-dependent. Rachel S. observed at Shore Hills: "The river is tidal and so unless you want to wade threw mud there is not access beyond a couple hours around high tide."
Farm experiences for children: Chewonki Campground offers educational opportunities about local ecology. "This was one of the most relaxing campgrounds we have ever experienced. Beautiful scenery with a river to highlight Maine's tidal environment. Kayaking, salt water pool and scenic walking trails blends in with the variety of singing birds under several tall pine trees," shares Cheryl R.
Beach proximity considerations: Beaches with gradual entry points work best for younger children. At Wolfe's Neck, one camper noted: "One of our families favorite camping spots. We prefer sites near playground that overlook Vasco bay. Bathrooms are very clean and kids really enjoy running in field and that there is a working farm within the camp ground."
Playground access: Some campgrounds feature play areas for children to burn energy. "There was plenty of walking to do, a playground, and lots of marsh area to explore with snails and horseshoe crabs around," describes a camper's experience at Thomas Point Beach.
Extension cord requirements: Many Maine campgrounds have electrical boxes serving multiple sites. "The site and driveway were gravel and we had a decent picnic table and fire pit," notes a camper at Meadowbrook Camping.
RV site selection: Choose locations based on privacy needs and view preferences. "We choose this campground because it was the only one in the area we wanted to explore," shares Nancy W. about Shore Hills, indicating the importance of location when selecting campgrounds in Maine.
Water fill procedures: Limited hookups require preparation. "No water or sewer hook ups so fill ur water tank before parking," advises Shannon M. about Thomas Point Beach Campground, highlighting the need to arrive prepared.
Leveling challenges: Some Maine campgrounds feature uneven terrain. "The site was unlevel and we were always on a bit of an incline. Our coach is pretty sensitive when it comes to leveling so this may not be a problem with other units or towables," notes an RVer about their experience at Meadowbrook.
