Cobscook Bay Campground

During the summer tourist season, Maine swells with visitors from all over New England looking for their piece of nature and to leave behind the chaotic noise of the city and enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds of the wilderness. However, with so many people wanting that same idyllic vacation, Maine can get a little crowded – just ask anyone who’s tried visiting Acadia National Park on the Fourth of July weekend.

But Maine still has a few places that are quiet and untouched, ready to be embraced by the RV camping visitors motivated enough to reach them. Cobscook Bay Campground is an excellent example of that kind of off-the-beaten-path destination, far from any population center in the state’s southeastern tip. Close to the Canadian border, it’s not a place that anyone would come upon accidentally – ideal for those who prefer solitude when camping with an RV.

A few miles outside of Dennysville, on the shores of the Cobscook Bay, the campground has dozens of beautiful sites, many of them right on the water. There are no hookups for your RV rental, but a dump station in the campground permits you to empty your sewage tank if needed. There is a boat ramp available if you’re bringing any kind of watercraft, but with the powerful tides in the bay, it should only be used by those experienced enough with such conditions. The RV campground’s long shoreline has plenty of great fishing spots though, and during the summer months, you might even catch a glimpse of one of the bay’s resident whale pods.
