Last year we were looking for a place to take my daughter on a birthday trip, but had limited options. Mt Blue was one of few places that had sites available so it was by chance we ended up there. It was quiet, beautiful, and a memorable experience all around. Fast forward a year exactly, and we decided to go back for my daughter’s birthday trip again. Without disappointment, this campground has won us over all over again. We had a blast at the beach area, and enjoyed the solitude, truly away from it all. We feel rested and relaxed. Needless to say, this campground is definitely on our list for future trips every year from here on out.

I don’t have many complaints about this campground. There was a slight bee problem during our stay, but that’s to be expected. Most of the bathrooms in the park were closed down except for one, which our site (29) was next to. They have running hot water showers, a large basin sink outside to wash dishes, and flush toilets. The beach isn’t a far walk away, if you wanted to go on a small hike. Pets are allowed at the campground, but not on the beach. There’s also plenty of trails to explore.

If you need firewood, there’s a store on the way to the park that sells some as well as a shaws and a tractor supply in town that sells it as well. The parks fire wood burns too quickly.

Overall, would recommend

I wouldn’t recommend this site to an inexperienced camper looking for simplicity. The sites are rugged, and some you’ll need a short hike uphill to get to. Be cautious with small children here as there are a lot of sites with drops to the bay.

Our site was beautiful, had a gorgeous view, not too far from the outhouses, and fit what we needed perfectly. The site wasn’t huge and fitting more than two 6 person tents might be a struggle. The fire pit was on the smaller side which would legitimately be my only complaint for my families experience.

Overall, I highly recommend especially if you’re visiting downeast. It’s a beautiful side to admire.

Also, you can go clamming here, with a one peck limit. So, if you’re wanting a seaside experience with fresh seafood you gather yourself, this campground is perfect.

I camped here two nights with my family. It was the first camping trip we took with my 2 year old, and so was very nervous about how it would go. I was very relieved to be surrounded by families with small children. Despite that, it was very quiet! It was an amazing camping trip. The park was well kept. We had an amazing time, and we plan on coming back.
