A family-run oceanfront campground on the Maine coast
Our family has owned and cared for this campground for over 30 years, welcoming campers who are looking for a real Maine experience. We’ve kept the focus on simple camping, a friendly atmosphere, and the kind of place where people feel at home.
We offer RV sites, tent sites, and simple cabins, spread throughout the 40 acre shaded park, with the accessible shore a short stroll away.
We try to treat everyone the way we’d treat a favorite cousin who’s come to stay awhile.
— Astrig & Steve
This Maine campground puts the ocean at your doorstep and picturesque Maine Harbors around every corner. Worried about Maine weather? We’ll help you find lighthouses in the fog, blueberries in every restaurant and lobsters straight from the ocean every day. In the meantime, it’s not too early to start planning a few hikes before you visit us!

Water Activities
Imagine your Facebook update: Spent the morning kayaking on Penobscot Bay…scanned the shoreline for seals and herons, watched the osprey fishing over head…until I jumped~ there was a dolphin within arm’s reach of the kayak! Oh, and the Instagram images are even more amazing...Wish you were here!
Our beach is a wonderful mix of gravely sand, cobblestones and glacial rocks...perfect for exploring tidepools, swimming and hunting for seaglass. Wheelchair accessible and child friendly, you won't find any mudflats, undertows or sharp drop offs here.
