Searsport Shores Ocean Camping i USA

Over the years of our outdoor adventures, we've never been handed a map and allowed to roam freely to select our preferred camping spot. This was a unique and enjoyable experience. Usually, we pick our spots from a digital map without having the opportunity to physically explore them. Our chosen spot, 131, was flat and serene. We relished the tranquility, with the gentle chirping of birds as our morning alarm, instead of the disturbing noise of fellow campers. A stroll took us to the breathtakingly beautiful ocean where we spotted a seal. We aspire to return someday. We couldn't help but envy the enviable locations right by the water, which are usually reserved well in advance, preventing us from staying there. A front-row view of the water and passing boats would be absolutely delightful. The quality of workmanship and the variety of activities available for campers were impressive. The staff was friendly and the items for sale included fresh eggs, handmade crafts, hand-spun yarn, and baked goods, a refreshing change from the usual trinkets found at other campsites. This is a humble and quiet campsite, very different from the noisy, party-centric ones. We truly value this.

Booked a site right on the edge of the campground overlooking the ocean. Beautiful spot although there is no privacy between you and your neighbor. They line the RVs up in a row (with an ocean view) so you need to be prepared to be looking at the side of your neighbor’s rig. Otherwise, the campground is very unique. There are sheep and goats, an artist in residence, and art decorations throughout. Very friendly staff and clean facility. Would stay here again.

Steven and Astrid have created a beautiful oceanfront camping experience. It’s a little pricey, but the views were fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in site 13, which included a wooded deck (with chairs and a little table) for watching the tide go in and out. And WOW does the tide rise and fall in Maine! The other sites are close but not uncomfortably so, although we usually prefer more privacy. The campground website offers a detailed description of places to go and things to do while visiting the area. During the high season, campers are required to stay for 7 nights, but we came in October and only had a 5 stay requirement. I’m happy that we rearranged our plans to stay that long, as we were able to spend lots of time in nearby Camden and also Acadia Nat’l Park.

Friendly folks, scenic views, and a great stay, just don’t expect sand on the shoreline or consistent WiFi.

This was one of our all-time favorite campgrounds. The location, right on Penobscot Bay is lovely. As with many privately owned campgrounds, it reflects pride of ownership. Our campsite was one of the prime spots on the water overlooking a fascinating tidal pool area. It was water and electric only, but the owners include a mobile sewer pump out once every seven days. There is also a forested area with campsites walking distance from the water. Besides being on the water, the campground has beautiful landscaping with lots of artsy touches, an arts studio, bee hives and a few short trails. They also have goats that do a great job of "mowing" some of their grass. Although we didn't participate, they also offer clamming demonstrations in the summer, and the office can help you get a clamming license if you'd like to try it. You can also reserve a spot for their lobster bake on Saturday nights - reserve early, we missed it because it was full! The owners are very helpful. Other facilities include a laundry room, rest rooms, a playground, recreation hall, and a gift shop. There is a trail down to the tidal flat where you can launch your kayak, and they also have kayak rentals. There is a nice, large fenced in area for walking dogs off-leash, and dogs are allowed on the trails on leash as well. There are lots of interesting places to explore in Mid-Coast Maine, and this is a great location from which to do so.
