  Seawall Campground — Acadia National Park

  Campsites are very close together. Price is very reasonable though. Restrooms are very clean.

  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.

  Schoodic Woods Campground — Acadia National Park

  Quiet Side of Acadia National Park

  Acadia National Park is definitely one of our favorite National Parks and Schoodic Woods Campground adds to the awesome experience. This is the “Quiet Side” of Acadia which means way less crowds. The campground is divided into two loops A and B with campsites able to fit big-rigs to tents. Loop B has large pull-thru sites adequate to fit any size RV and has water and electric with sites being more open than Loop A. Loop A has a little more privacy between sites and does offer 30/50-amp electric but no water at the site. Many sites in Loop B are not level and we had a difficult time getting level in our site (B24). All the roads are paved and campsites are gravel with a large patio and fire pit and picnic table. Each loop has two bath houses, but be forewarned, there are NO showers in the campground (you have to drive to another campground nearby and pay for showers), nor is there a laundry facility. There are dish washing stations at the bathhouses with hot water. Park staff does a great job of keeping the bathrooms clean and camp hosts regularly clean campsites and fire pits. There is a hike-in tent section but, oddly, campfires (wood and charcoal) are not allowed but you can use butane. There is Wifi at bathrooms and Ranger Station. All sites have to be booked online and they will not make reservations at the ranger station. 

  We love this section of Acadia because there are far less crowds but you still have the beautiful coastline and plenty of hiking and biking opportunities. Hiking trails and the carriage roads are accessible right from the campground so you don’t have to drive anywhere. Frazier Point is a great place to launch a canoe or kayak, just be aware of the 10–12-foot tides and plan accordingly. The Musquito Harbor Brewery is a great place to go for pizza and beer after a morning exploring the park.

  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.

  Matagamon Wilderness

  Great location Near Baxter State Park

  The location of this campground is great! It is situated on the East Branch of the Penobscot River and just one and a half miles from the north entrance to Baxter State Park and very close to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. If you are looking for a great place to stay in the northern Maine wilderness with great access to amazing hiking, fishing, canoeing, and hunting, this is the place for you. Matagamon Wilderness is a mix of campsites and cabins with a general store, restaurant, gas station and guide service. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful and gave us lots of tips on fishing and places to hike. The campground is small at just over 30+ Sites which are a mix of sizes from small ones suitable for vans or tent to those that can handle bigger RVs. Sites are spread throughout the property and very rustic in their feel. Campsites along the water are the best with great views and easy water access right out your door. Other are set back and have a great sense of privacy. Campsites have picnic tables and fire pits. The tent sites have lean-to’s to protect you from the weather. Toilets are vault toilets. If you are looking for “RV Resort” type amenities, you won’t find many as this is a basic campground. There are cabins on the property for those that don’t have an RV or tent. The cabins were recently renovated with equipped kitchens, showers, gas lights, gas heat, wood stoves, and screened porches. The shower facilities had great water pressure with lots of hot water and there is a dump station for RVers. Daily camping rates are affordable at $35/night. Inside the “store” is a restaurant with delicious food and reasonable prices. They have a variety of food items for sale and delicious home-baked bread and cookies. They are famous for their Mount Katahdin Burger– which is three 8-oz angus beef patties, American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and mayo, on a homemade bear bun and served with chips and a pickle. The store also has a great selection of beer, including many from Maine. Another eatery is at Shin Pond Campground which is just a short drive away. 

  A couple things to note. Cell service is very poor in this area. Our Verizon phone popped in and out of service but mostly it did not pick up a signal so no phone or mobile data. If you are going to Baxter State Park be aware that there are restrictions on vehicles(“no vehicle over nine feet high, seven feet wide, or 22 feet long for a single vehicle or 44 feet long for combined units”) and dogs are strictly prohibited.

  Powder Horn Family Camping Resort

  Great Place

  Very Clean. They mow something everyday. Asphalt roads. Easy access to every spot. Extra clean showers and restrooms. They have activities for all ages. But no dog park. Why not? They have plenty of room.

  Narrows Too Camping Resort

  Comfortable and accommodating

  This is our first time at Narrows Too, we fount the staff to be helpful. The sites are big enough to get large RV’s in. There were several 40’-45’ buses and fifth wheels at the campground. Some of the water facing sites are pretty snug but the pull through we had was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again!
