We are newbies, being our first year of camping, but we both grew up camping. This is one of the best places we ever camped. We liked the fact that it is privately owned by Steve and Astrig, who are amazing hosts. We found it on the internet/apps and read many reviews. Those that are negative might be reflecting that this type of camping may not be their cup of tea. But, if you like a very family oriented campground, with a lot of activities, located in a great area, with gravel spots with electric/water, then this will be perfect for you.
Phone service was not that great (Verizon), 1-2 bars most of the time. If you have to work and be on the internet, be mindful of this fact. We enjoyed disconnecting from it all so it didn’t matter that much to us.
We are going to try to plan to make this a regular stop for us.

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... more
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.

We selected the town of Searsport as our jumping off point to visit the Penobscot Bay area. And we had another great campsite right by the water. In fact, this campground, Searsport Shores Camping...
