Our World on the Maine Coast
Welcome! Our on-site activities, walking trails and art & recreational facilities are at your doorstep. When you're ready to roam, you're a short ride to Belfast, Searsport & Sears Island, Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor, Camden & Rockport and lighthouses of every description. When you're in Searsport, you can enjoy the coast of Maine without the crowds.
Congratulations, you have found a hidden jewel!
Searsport Shores accommodates RV’s of all sizes and maintains a separate tenting area along the ocean beach. We welcome well behaved children and pets, and work hard to create an environment that encourages multi-generations to camp and play together.
Small boats, canoes, sea kayaks and bikes are perfect vehicles for beginning your coastal exploration from camp. Larger boats can be launched at the historic town harbor of Searsport
Searsport Shores is located right on Route 1…no long and windy dirt roads, no tight turns or low branches. Just turn into our wide driveway and come straight to the store/registration desk where we’ll greet you with a smile every time you walk in.
It’s a big place… 40 Oceanfront acres and another 150 acres of trails across the street…wheelchair accessibility to all the important places.
Sites:
The Shores was once part of an 1800’s coastal farm. We have mature white pine and oak trees that have seen more than a century of full moons. In this dappled shade you’ll find 125 campsites.
All sites have fireplaces and picnic tables. The sites with water and electrical hookup (30 or 50 amps) are well maintained, level and cleared of all low hanging branches. The sites without hookups have access to drinking water within a short distance. Some sites are right on the ocean, others are set back from the breezes.
This is truly an oceanfront campground so if you’re in a site the furthest from the ocean…you’re still only a short stroll to the beach. For specific rate information and site types, click here. Looking for a printable site map?
Sit on the Searsport Shores boardwalk to watch the sunrise over the bay. Walk the beach towards the West for 20 minutes and explore Moose Point State Park. Head towards the East and 20 minutes later you'll be at the Hamilton Wharf in Searsport Village.
“The views of rocky coastline, picturesque coves, Sears Island and open ocean are spectacular.”
Beach:
How many campgrounds can boast 1/4 mile of private beach front? You can count them on your fingers. We enjoy a typically complex Maine beach…tidal pools, cobblestones, sandbars and climbing rocks. Happily you won’t find mud flats or under tow currents here so you can play in the waves and swim safely. The tide comes in and out an astonishing 100 yards so there’s always something different to see as you explore the ocean floor.
note to the wise: (When searching out oceanfront campgrounds, always ask about mudflats, undercurrents and accessibility whenever considering a coastal Maine beach).
