You can’t go to Maine without getting an iconic lighthouse photo, and Bass Harbor Campground in Bass Harbor is a perfect spot. This is right across the street from the Bass Harbor Lighthouse in Acadia National Park. Being able to walk over from the campground is such a bonus since the parking lot fills quickly. Be sure to go for a sunset!

“Downeast” Maine is the area close to the border with New Brunswick, Canada, and Wildfox Cabins & Campground in Lakeville gives you a great taste of the Downeast region. The campground is located on Junior Lake, which has 11 other interconnected lakes in a chain.

This place is amazingly beautiful in fall. It is especially remote and offers a good chance for spotting wildlife, including moose.

If you want to give boondocking a try without going too far off the beaten path, this is a great place to try it out!

Moose Creek RV Resort in Greenville is brand-new campground that opened in July of 2022. It is located one mile from Moosehead Lake in Maine’s highlands in the Appalachian Mountains. Unlike many of the other selections in this roundup of the best campgrounds in Maine, this one is a little more of a resort. While the campground is more manicured, you’ll find many magnificent views, hikes, and wilderness to explore in the area.

Boothbay Craft Brewery, Taphouse & RV is such a fun, unique option, as you can tell by the name! The brewery and taphouse came first, and the owners noticed a ton of RVers were visting, so they added some RV sites. Located by one of inlets along the Gulf of Maine, this campground is just about an hour up the coast from Portland. It’s close to Freeport, which is a great place for shopping (don’t miss the LL Bean–this place is huge!).
