Maine’s idyllic rocky coastline and sandy beaches offer the perfect spot to camp.
From sandy beaches to rocky shoreline, Maine beach camping is a must-try experience. In southern Maine, beaches near Portland, Kennebunkport, Ogunquit, and Old Orchard Beach offer some of the best sandy stretches and oceanfront campsites in the state, many near the borders of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Further north, Freeport and Camden have campgrounds and RV parks with full hookups and oceanfront tent sites. Head to the Downeast region to camp near Acadia National Park and take advantage of hiking trails featuring lighthouses, ocean views, and tidal pools while still being close to Bar Harbor. Not ready to be rustic? Many Maine campgrounds and RV parks offer amenities such as full hookups, wifi, dump stations, camp stores, and bathhouses. So whether it's a night in a pop-up or glamping in a yurt, beach camping makes for a totally unique camping trip in coastal Maine.
