Thinking of camping in Maine, and you’re likely thinking of two regions: DownEast, where Acadia National Park and Portland steal the show, or along the southern coast, where Wells and Old Orchard Beach are popular. While these places are certainly well worth a visit, limiting your experiences to these coastal haunts, means missing out on some of the best camping in Maine...and there’s a lot. Indeed, Maine covers nearly one-half of the total area of New England. With over 30 state parks, the first national park east of the Mississippi, and, depending on the way you hike it, either the beginning or the end of the 2181 miles of the Appalachian Trail, Maine has a little something to offer even the greenest camper among us.


Southern Maine is a typically more crowded area. The water is a bit warmer than Maine’s northern beaches, and the beaches typically less rocky. For those looking for a break from the surf, there are shopping outlets, mini golf courses, and numerous spots to grab some fresh lobster. Old Orchard Beach has long been a New England summer tradition; trading quiet camping for go-kart races and thrilling rides, this area is chock full of summer fun. Looking to escape the crowds while camping in southern Maine? Head inland to kayak and camp along the Saco River, as it carves its way from New Hampshire’s White Mountains through to the Atlantic. 


Most campers head to the ocean come summer, so you’ll find solitude amongst the trees, lakes and rivers of inland Maine. Moosehead Lake has some of the best camping in Maine, with numerous lakeside camp spots and deserted beaches off of one of the lake’s dozens of tiny islands. Bring your own canoe, or rent one, and spend the day leisurely paddling alongside loons and other waterfowl; if you’re quiet, you might even happen upon a moose. There are a number of campgrounds to choose from, and many offer secluded lakefront sites. If you are looking to stretch your legs and gain some altitude, head to nearby Baxter State Park. Hiking Maine’s highest peak, Mount Katahdin, is an intense hike that’ll reward you with unparalleled views over Maine’s seemingly endless backcountry. Fair warning: this hike isn’t for children (in fact, no children under six are allowed above the treeline anywhere in Baxter State Park). Nor is it for the faint of heart: its ridgeline is sheer, dropping off some 5,000 feet into Maine’s ancient wilderness below.


Downeast Maine is a remote area that has some of the most beautiful coastline in the world, and some of the most beautiful camping in Maine. Iconic lighthouses, piles of fresh lobster, and seaside hikes that rival inland Maine’s rugged peaks, exploring this area is a must. With Portland, Bangor, and small coastal towns like Bar Harbor, Kennebunkport and Freeport, there are no shortages of places to explore. Our favorite downeast adventure? Camp in Acadia, where you can hike to the top of Cadillac Mountain and watch as the sun sets over the rugged atlantic coastline. For those early risers, catching the sunrise from October to March means you’re catching the first of the sun as it rises over the US.


Whether you’re looking for backcountry seclusion or prefer the comforts of car camping, camping in Maine has a little something to offer all of us. True to its slogan, it really is the way life should be.

Tentrr State Park Site - Maine Lamoine State Park - Single Camp

This IS A VERY rural campsite WHICH IS situated in one of the most private corners of The Dome sanctuary. THE SOLAR SHOWER ARE BAGS OF WATER FILLED AND PRESSURIZED WITH AIR. The tent site is a short walk to the shoreline of Great Pond, a beautiful, remote lake with a dock - the perfect place to kayak, fish and swim! TO GET TO THE LAKE, come back from the tent to our driveway. Turn right onto our driveway and walk onto a mowed path down to the lake.  The immediate descent at the lake is a bit STEEP.

The Tentrr tent is a canvas tent on a platform.  This tent has a queen size MEMORY FOAM mattress on a frame and comes with all bedding.  If your group has more than two campers, two additional tents can be set up.  They each have a queen size air mattress that rest on the tents floor and do NOT come with bedding.  
WITH ALL THREE TENTS WE CAN HAVE A TOTAL of 6 CAMPERS, unless you have little children that can squeeze into a queen size bed with you.    

Once you get here, you may never want to leave - but if you do, there is so much to do in the area. We are a 45 to 60 minute drive to the bustling coastal town of Bar Harbor, which is the gateway to amazing hiking at Acadia National Park - try to get to the top of Cadillac Mountain! If you want to stay close to the campsite, the nearby towns of Ellsworth and Blue Hill  are within 20-45 minutes and are great destinations for quaint shops, grocery stores and restaurants - make sure you try one of the many lobster spots.
The Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia National Park is also nearby if you enjoy a quiet experience.
We live in a geodesic dome on a private dirt road.  The address is 214 Great Pond Road, Franklin, Maine. PLEASE DRIVE SLOW!(10 MPH) The number and Tentrr sign ARE on the right hand pole at the head of our driveway. There are also several red flashers. Please DO NOT PASS OUR DRIVEWAY and continue on.  The road is dead end with private property at the end. Turn left into our driveway.  When you are coming down our driveway, look for a two track trail to your right hand side, between two red blinkers.  Turn right and drive up to the Tentrr campsite.  YOU WILL PASS ANOTHER CAMPSITE BEFORE YOU GET TO THE TENTRR SITE.    
We live on a narrow private road.  If another vehicle is coming towards you please find a place to pull over and let them by.  AGAIN, THE SPEED LIMIT IS 10 MPH, PLEASE GO SLOW.

Water is available from a hose connected to our house. WE ALSO PROVIDE BEDDING FOR THE MAIN TENT, which has a queen size MEMORY FOAM bed, tiki torches, toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags. We can set up two additional tents if you have more than two campers. If you don't want to stop at the store, we can also provide you with FIREWOOD for $5.00 per night, CASH ONLY.  The shower is a SOLAR SHOWER, which is dependent upon how much sun we are getting.  You can use the shower in our house for $5.00 per shower.  However, please wear a mask in our house. The toilet is a portable loo that has a shelter around it.  Please dispose of the plastic loo bag in the trash AFTER EACH USE.

Bald Mountain Farm

Long before Acadia was a national park, long before Maine was a state in the Union, this coastal region of North America was populated by the Algonquian peoples, who hunted, fished and harvested the land for more than 12,000 years. As European immigrants settled the region, they recognized the natural beauty of Maine’s spectacular islands and coastline—all carved and sculpted by water, ice, and time. Many of the upper crust built vacation cottages in the area to enjoy its mountains and woods, lakes and wetlands. It was finally established as a national park in 1916, with the distinction of being the first national park east of the Mississippi. Today, Acadia is one of the most-visited parks in the United States, where millions of visitors come to the park each year for its outdoor recreation opportunities, abundant wildlife, and unparalleled scenery. Acadia’s Blackwoods Campground is the ideal base for all of your Acadia adventuring. Located in the southeast region of the park, approximately 90 minutes southeast of Bangor, it features more than 300 wooded tent-camping sites near Otter Point. The campground can also accommodate small RVs/trailers up to 35 feet, but hookups and utilities are not available. Some sites are ADA accessible. Each site is equipped with picnic tables and fire pits, and all have access to potable water, restrooms and shower facilities; a dump station is located onsite. Dogs are welcome in the park, but must remain leashed, and are not permitted in buildings, on ranger-led programs, or on some trails. The campground is open from May through October. Campsites are $30/night; group sites are $60/night. Reservations are recommended, and can be made up to six months in advance. There is no shortage of things to do and see in Acadia National Park. One of the best ways to discover the park, and enjoy its stunning scenery is by taking a hike. More than 120 miles of trails, from short, family-friendly nature trails to long, strenuous mountain climbers, offer something for everyone. Bicycle and horseback riding on the park’s 45 miles of old carriage roads is another great way to see the park. Coastal areas offer plenty of swimming, paddling, and tidepooling opportunities, and anglers can fish for salmon, trout, perch and pickerel in many of the park’s freshwater lakes and ponds. Wildlife watchers can scan for some of the more than 300 species of birds known to inhabit the park, as well as a variety of small and large animals. And, of course, leaf-peeping is one of Adadia’s most popular pastimes, when the park’s woods are transformed into a kaleidoscope of autumn-colored trees.

Blackwoods Campground is located on the east side of Mount Desert Island, about 5 miles (8 km) south of Bar Harbor on Route 3.
