Maine is huge, larger than all the other New England states put together. It's about 90% covered with trees, it has almost 3,500 miles of coastline, and it has more than 30,000 miles of rivers and streams. Home to the loon, the moose, the lynx, the Bald eagle, and the bobcat (among thousands of other species), this state draws millions of visitors each year. A lot of them enjoy camping in Maine.
Camping in this northern paradise can range from rugged to easy, from a tent and a campfire to a fully equipped (but without electricity for heightened romance) cabin or a RV park crammed with amenities and activities. You can choose a site that lets you walk to a sandy beach or one along a rushing river with challenging whitewater. Try one near town or a site so far out that you'll really be living rough.
The huge state is geographically diverse, and its eight regions are all different. Hikers and bikers might like rolling hills, partly wooded and partly farmland. More adventurous ones can find mountains to climb and forest trails to explore. There are rushing streams and rivers, home to over 30 species of trout, and more lakes than you could visit in a lifetime of vacations. Old Orchard Beach, ME, has beautiful sandy shores, while other coasts are rocky and rugged.
Camping is fun in its own right, and there is plenty to see and do. You might spend an afternoon watching whales and other wildlife. You can hike or bike or climb. You can visit quaint shops, museums that show and tell history, fine restaurants with the fresh catch of the day, and famous lighthouses that guard the coast. There are amusement parks and boardwalks, golf courses and miniature golf, water-slides for all ages, and cruises and pleasure boating.
The western mountain and lake region is the roughest terrain. This is where the famous whitewater is, as well as on the Kennebec and the Moose River. Check the official tourism sites for more information about what kind of scenery you can roar past on the crest of a rapid.
At Old Orchard Beach, ME, campers can be within walking distance of the beach. Other campsites encircle this family resort town with lots to do and see. All Maine's cities offer resources for families who want to camp. Check official sites to choose the perfect spot, and remember that camping out in Maine is incredibly popular. Reservations may be required at the campground of your choice.
Camping has been a Maine tradition for generations, and residents of the Pine Tree State want to help make it fun. The choice of how and where to stay is so vast you'll have trouble making a choice. Read the reviews posted by those who've already been there, and you'll want to go even more.
Camp near the mountain you'll climb, the hike you'll take, the beach you'll sit on, the river you'll ride, or the fish you'll catch. Spend a week or more far from the daily routine back home, making memories and getting to know this great region. Go online for tourist guides and maps to campgrounds all over the state. You'll find reviews that will make you want to go even more, posted by those who have experienced the wonders of the far north.
