Camping in Maine’s DownEast & Acadia is Second to None

Ocean waves crashing against regal bluffs. Eagles soaring overhead. The taste of sea salt in the air. This is camping DownEast style! The entire region offers some of the most exceptional and diverse camping opportunities in the state of Maine. Aside from oceanfront camping, there are also many inland camping areas rich in forest and wilderness and meandering rivers and sparkling lakes carved out by the receding glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age. It’s an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

The many privately-owned campgrounds in the region accommodate everyone-from the smallest tent to the largest RV. Fall asleep to the sound of loon calls at campgrounds located near sparkling ponds. “Big Rigs” are always welcomed at many oceanfront and inland RV sites near Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Carmel, and Southwest Harbor. Several even have their own lake beaches and optimal sites for tents or campers. Always the family favorites!
