    Cobscook Bay State Park Campground and Dominion Hill Glamping provide luxury outdoor accommodations in Maine's easternmost region. Dominion Hill features peaceful yurts with thoughtful amenities like showers and toilets, while Seaview Campground offers glamping options with electric hookups, water access, and sewer connections. These sites combine wilderness immersion with upscale comfort, placing guests minutes from the spectacular Bay of Fundy coastline. Each location provides picnic tables and trash service, with most offering reservable sites that book quickly during peak season. One guest shared, "This is a beautiful state park in a quiet part of the state and ideal for those looking for a quiet getaway with lots of outdoor activities."

    Safari tents and yurts at these locations serve as perfect basecamps for exploring Whiting's natural attractions. Visitors staying at glamping accommodations enjoy easy access to kayaking in Cobscook Bay, where dramatic 24-foot tides create unique paddling experiences and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. The surrounding area features several hiking trails, including paths at Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge adjacent to Cobscook Bay State Park. Stargazing is exceptional from these glamping sites, with minimal light pollution allowing for spectacular night sky viewing. According to a camper, "We were even able to walk down on the rocks along the water to get a completely clear view of the stars and Milky Way." Most glamping options remain open from May through October, with advance reservations strongly recommended during summer months.

      Rest Ashore Cottages

      Great waterfront getaway near the quiet side of Acadia National Park

      If you are looking for a Maine coastal getaway in a beautiful location that is away from crowds, Rest Ashore Cottages are perfect. This property features ten relatively new cottages located right on a quiet bay along the beautiful Maine coast. Some are right on the water and others are set back a row but all have access to a private sandy and rocky beach. The cottages vary in bedrooms and size ranging from king beds to bunks and able to sleep up to six people. Cottages with bunks for kids provide toys and games for their enjoyment. Each cottage has an outdoor picnic table and BBQ grill. There is a shared fire pit and gathering area on the beach and multiple play areas for kids with digging equipment to keep them busy. Units are fully furnished with an array of kitchen appliances (some even have a dishwasher and washer/dryer) and include linens. Their website has a detailed description of what is included in each cottage and the sleeping arrangements. Their cancellation policy is great – if you cancel 30 days prior to arrival, you receive a one hundred percent refund. 

      The cottages are located a short drive to the Schoodic Woods section of Acadia National Park in Winter Harbor, known as the “Quiet Side” of Acadia. Be forewarned, this is not the main section of Acadia near Bar Harbor on Mt. Desert Island. This section of the park does have plenty of hiking and biking opportunities with miles of carriage roads and trails and plenty of gorgeous views of the rocky coastline. There are also many great picnic areas and places to paddle and fish. A great place to visit is the Schoodic Institute Visitor Center that has lots of history and information about Acadia, the Maine coastline, and the research facility. If you want to visit Bar Harbor, there is a ferry from Winter Harbor that takes you across the bay on a 45-minute boat ride. If you don’t have a car, the Island Explorer (a free bus service) will take you around the park and over to Bar Harbor. There is a small grocery in Winter Harbor and plenty of restaurants within a 10-minute drive.

      Nice peaceful place to stay

      Nice owner and staff, spotless and modern washrooms, great showers, fast WiFi... There is a lot to like about this place!

      Sunset Point RV Park

      Good for the night

      Wi-Fi is weak, when it works. The shower and stall are the smallest I've ever seen. Sites are tight, but I've seen worse. But when you need a place to shower and stay, this fits the bill.

      Just A Place To Crash

      We stayed one night. Standard Maine camp - neighbors 20’ away on three sides.

      Price is $25-$70.

      This is a good spot if you’re visiting Jonesport or Cherryfield.

      Staff is very friendly.

      Machias Rips Campsite

      Great Stay

      We were in Maine to explore Acadia National Park but did not want to stay in the center of Acadia. Our original plan was to stay just a couple of nights but loved this site so much we stayed an extra night.

      This site was easy to get to, although GPS will tell you to park and walk which is not true, you can park at site. We stayed at the first site which also offered a hikers hut, came in handy during a little rain. The fire ring and vault toilet was the best we’ve had at any disbursed site; the vault toilet was surprisingly very clean and lacked the normal odor. It is apparent this area is well cared for. We also enjoyed a day of playing on the rocks in the River.

      The only negatives were road noise and mosquitoes; the mosquitoes were not fazed by our Off or our candles.

      There were about six campsites with two that seemed to be long term stayers, the other sites had visitors for just a night.

      If in Maine again, this will be a repeat stay for us. We would have given it a 4 1/2 star if we could do 1/2. Also, we had full cell service thru Verizon.

      Cobscook Bay State Park Campground

      Stunning!

      Two nights at site #59 - one of four walk-in tent sites on the peninsula - all with gorgeous views of the bay. A bit of a walk, but carts are provided so not a big deal even if you have a lot of stuff. There were no other campers while we were there which was quite amazing (it was early in the season), but each site had plenty of space so privacy wouldn't have been an issue even if it had been full. Showers/bathrooms/wash station is kind of far from where we stayed so we drove over, but everything is super clean, brand new, and exceptionally well thought out. The staff was very helpful - you can even dig for clams right at your site if you want - rakes and containers are available to borrow with a small deposit (you might want boots and gloves if you decide to do that). The whole area is beautiful, with tons of hikes and areas to explore.

      Sunset Point RV Park

      Beautiful location

      This is a campground, not a resort. It offers RV parking with water and electric. They do provide RV pump-out service, or you can use the dump station. There are showers, washers and dryers and WiFI.

      The location is directly on Johnson Bay which is beautiful to see. It's in a remote part of Maine but there is a chocolatier across the street, a grocery store just north (IGA I think it might be). Close to many state parks and scenic light houses.

      Chose your camp site carefully if you expect great views from your RV windows because it's possible a big rig will park in the next lot and that's all you will see (or just leave the RV and take a walk).

      Camp store is very small and offers a few basics and some tourist items from the local area

      Machias Rips Campsite

      Nice enough

      There are about 5 spots. Some are rough and not super flat, but it's pretty and the river is right there. You can hear the highway but it's not too bad. Only real negative for me was nowhere to really walk my dogs, nothing even close to a trail nearby. Just the highway.

    Guide to Whiting

    Cobscook Bay State Park Campground offers rustic camping in Maine's easternmost region, with no hookups but abundant waterfront sites. The park sits on a peninsula extending into Cobscook Bay, where dramatic 24-foot tides create unique camping and recreation opportunities. Sites provide significant privacy through wooded buffers, making this destination popular for those seeking a quiet natural setting away from developed areas.

    What to do

    Tide exploration: Visit during both high and low tides at Cobscook Bay State Park Campground to witness the dramatic water level changes. "The tides will be like something you've never seen before, dropping in some areas up to 24 feet! You feel like you're on the edge of the world," shares one camper who visited the park.

    Kayaking for experienced paddlers: Launch at high tide from the dock at Cobscook Bay State Park. "Kayaking should be done with prior research to ensure familiarity with the tide changes and currents, which are strong and dangerous in certain areas of Cobscook Bay," advises Heather C., who recommends consulting the Cobscook Shores map showing recommended kayak areas.

    Nighttime astronomy: Clear nights offer exceptional stargazing at Sunset Point RV Park. "We could see whales swimming by during the day. At night, we walked along the beach area in the campground to watch the sunset," notes Mark S. The minimal light pollution in this remote area makes for stellar night sky viewing.

    What campers like

    Waterfront access: Many sites at Seaview Campground offer direct water views. "It's all about the view! Sites are close together in a grassy area but all have views of the ocean. There is a wide grassy area across from the sites and right on the waters edge," reports Kevin W.

    Wildlife viewing: The coastal setting provides ample opportunities to spot marine and bird life. "There is a lot of wildlife and waterlife - we saw many seals and cormorants in the water, as well as a few eagles," shares Heather C. about Cobscook Bay State Park.

    Site privacy: Tent sites typically offer more seclusion than RV areas. "Great fresh air (breezy). If you come with a tent you will have a lot of personal space compared to other campgrounds," notes a visitor at Pleasant Lake Camping Area. At Cobscook State Park, "The park is big, and many sites are very far apart - we had almost complete privacy."

    What you should know

    Limited services: Most glamping in Whiting, Maine and surrounding areas has minimal amenities. At South Bay on Rocky Lake, "There's a site immediately when you turn in, but about 2 minutes further you'll find a parking lot with what looked like 4 more campsites and a boat ramp...The lot also had a porta-potty in it."

    Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds in this region operate from May through October. "Bathroom was good but no water or garbage service," reports Kevin C. about South Bay on Rocky Lake. Even at more developed sites, services may be limited during shoulder seasons.

    Reservation requirements: Popular sites book quickly during summer. "There are both reservable and non-reservable sites," mentions a Cobscook Bay visitor. For unique accommodations like yurts and safari tents, advance planning is essential.

    Weather variability: Coastal conditions can change rapidly. "There was never a day without a nice breeze," notes a camper at Sunset Point, while others mention the need to secure awnings and gear during windy conditions.
