Camping

DownEast Acadia offers some of the best camping in Maine. Campsites with gorgeous views of oceans, lakes, and mountains in secluded locations and nearby cities and towns. Whether in a tent or RV, it’s your home-away-from-home. It is a great way to enjoy Maine’s night sky, letting the Milky Way and sometimes even the aurora borealis shine bright!

Define Your Own True Maine

Across 100 miles as the crow flies from Bar Harbor and Acadia to the banks of the St. Croix River and its Canadian gateway, explore an unbelievable 2,330 miles of coastline. With 5,600 square miles from end to end, DownEast Acadia offers visitors lots of room for exploration.

The Blue Hill Peninsula is home to historic Castine, industrious Stonington, and artsy Blue Hill. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are at the heart of Mount Desert Island.

Anglers will love downtime in Grand Lake Stream. Ellsworth is a crossroads for commerce, while each morning the sun rises first over Bay of Fundy and Campobello.

From the heights of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge to the depths of the Old Sow, —the largest whirlpool on our side of the planet, and the Way DownEast cities from Machias, to Lubec, Eastport to Calais — each DownEast Acadia community offers a unique True Maine experience.
