Oceanfront Camping. Family-Owned. Thirty Plus Years on This Shore.

Our family has owned and cared for this campground for over 30 years. We welcome campers who are looking for a steady place by the water. We have always 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 across 40 wooded acres, with the accessible cobblestone shore a short walk away.

We try to treat everyone the way we would treat a favorite cousin who has come to stay awhile.

Over the years, we have also been recognized by the Boston Globe, USA Today, Trailer Life, and Yankee Magazine, and voted “Best of the Best” by the Republican Journal for more than twenty years.

Most people come for the ocean and the quiet. That is still the heart of this place.

Over the years, a few other things have found their way here too. Now and then there is a small art workshop, an evening of music, or a shared meal from the garden. It has grown naturally alongside the camping, not in place of it.

If you’d like a sense of who we are and how this place feels, here’s a short introduction we recorded some years ago.

A few things have changed since then, but the shoreline and the spirit of the campground remain the same.

About Us

We live here and care for this place every day. If you are curious how it all came to be, we would be glad to share the story.

Our World

Alongside the oceanfront camping, you will also find art studios, a bandstand, a playground, and a garden kitchen that gather people now and then.

Calendar of Events

All summer long, music drifts through the trees and artists gather in the studios each week. You are always welcome to join.

 

 

Maine Vacation Ideas

If you are new to this part of Maine, we are happy to share a few of our favorite places within an hour’s drive.

Water Activities

Mornings here often begin on Penobscot Bay. Kayaks slide along the shoreline where seals and herons are regular visitors, and ospreys fish overhead.

Our beach is a mix of gravel sand, cobblestones, and glacial rock. It is ideal for exploring tidepools, swimming, and hunting for sea glass. The shore is wheelchair accessible and family friendly, with no mudflats, undertows, or sudden drop-offs.

Forty Oceanfront Acres on Penobscot Bay

Our campground sits directly along Penobscot Bay in mid-coast Maine, with gardens, walking trails, and open space to roam. The cobblestone shoreline is part of the campground. At high tide, the water itself is wheelchair accessible. RVs and tents are both welcome. We are just off Route 1, with an easy, wide entrance and no tight turns, minutes from Belfast and within easy reach of Camden and Bar Harbor.
