Did you hear about Mid-coast Maine's premier oceanfront campground? On the shores of Penobscot Bay, located between bustling Bar Harbor (Acadia National Park) and charming Camden village, you can find camping sites overlooking the ocean. Searsport Shores Ocean Campground offers old-fashioned camping fun in a family atmosphere.

    Park your RV along the ocean or in a pull-through site.  Pitch your tent in a shady spot or camp under a canopy of stars.  From this ocean front campground you can kayak right from the beach, hike the nature trails, eat Maine lobster on the shore, fish from the beach, explore tidal pools and join the kids in a basketball game on the playground.

    Want solitude? We'll direct our campers to 900 uninhabited acres on an easily accessible island, only 5 minutes away, for day use exploration including hiking, boating and biking. At Searsport Shores Ocean Campground, the fishing (and shopping) is good, the people are friendly, the campfires are crackling and the ocean is inviting.

    If you really need to keep track of your life in the digital world, we offer an online computer station, free wireless or an ethernet hookup.

For more information please call 207.548.6059

You COULD scrabble, scramble, struggle or stumble...to get to the beach. But at the Shores, our guests only walk a few feet.

Every year we host an event that I believe is unique to Maine…we exchange free camping for help getting lindacoryblog.jpgthe campground open in the Spring.  When you think about it, the weekend is a win-win for everyone.  We get help picking up the millions of little sticks on the ground (remember the Nor’easter last week?) and raking the far corners of the Park; campers get to evaluate our campground without spending any money.  We get the benches put out on the boardwalk and along the nature trails; campers get to meet people who come here regularly.  picnicblog.jpgThese are the folks who will always tell the truth about vacationing in Searsport.  Finally we get help tending the bonfire and washing the windows; campers get to enjoy Saturday breakfast in the rec hall and a barbeque lunch at the beach.  Saturday night we all share a potluck supper in the rec hall.  It’s my job to provide some sort of amusement…it’s a task I take very seriously and I’m happy to say most years have been very entertaining.


So when do we do it? 
Always the second weekend in May…this year the 11th, 12th and 13th.  We ask people to call ahead because I can only cook for a limited number of people.  The requirements are that you bring a rake, gloves, sense of humor and that you help us Saturday morning.  Things paigebubbleblog.jpgare pretty relaxed.  Children and pets get the run of the park.  Basically we make a list of things that need to get done, ask anyone with special talents to fess up so we can take advantage of specialty skills and then everyone chooses their task…and I come around with cookies, coffee and hot chocolate…anything to keep the energy levels high!


We’d love to have you join us if this sounds fun.  Call me at 207.548.6059 so that I can save a place for you…bring friends!  And pack layers of clothing…there’s no predicting the weather and like old vaudville, the show must go on! Use Searsport Shores as your home base for




Seven Wonderful Days exploring the Maine Coast

<ocean camping

maine campgrounds Let your imagination run wild... What would make your vacation perfect? Kayaking in the shadow of a lighthouse, accompanied by curious seals and majestic loons? Museums that display their world-class treasures and help you to make sense of the past? Picture perfect historical villages filled with wonderful restaurants and galleries? A sunset schooner ride where the Captain actually encourages you to bring your wine and cheese aboard? The possibilities are endless, let us help you plan seven wonderful days all within one hour of your campsite.

Day One.MAIL camping maine

Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park -Hike and bike hundreds of miles of trails on your own or join a guided tour. We provide trail maps and offer professional guide service of the park. The only national park on the Eastern Coast Seacoast, Acadia provides a rich combination of elements-land and sea, woodland, lake and mountain-no one of which dominates another. The second most visited park in America, Acadia's 41,645 acres evokes the strongest, most long-lasting response from the greatest number of people. If you are looking for a whale watch, you might ride a Catamaran with the Bar Harbor Whale Watch Co.
Day Two
maine camping islesboro Islesboro-Take a ferry to this turn of-the-century island with its picturesque vistas and movie star homes. The ferry to Islesboro leaves from Lincolnville Beach every hour during the summer. Isleboro is a lovely island to explore by bike or on foot because it is long and flat. Everywhere there are views of Camden Hills across the sparkling waters.
If kayaking is your thing, follow the self-guided tour around Isleboro and to Warren Island provided by Water Walker Sea Kayaks
Day Three
castine camping in maineCastine-Tour the pristine 1700’s architecture, visit the Maine Maritime Academy and stroll along cobblestone sidewalks shaded by century old elm trees. Lovely shops to explore and wonderful restaurants along the town pier. Make a day of it and explore Fort Point State Park (lighthouse, fishing pier), Fort Knox (wear a hard hat and explore dark tunnels), Stonington (a working lobster village) and Deer Isle (home of the famous Haystack School of Art).
Day Four
Searsport campgrounds in maineSearsport A century ago, one in every 10 American shipmasters hailed from this tiny town. Searsport was the launching area for over 200 world traveled, multi-masted ships.

Browse the renowned Penobscot Marine Museum in the morning and then hunt the hundreds of Antique/Flea markets in the afternoon. Come back to the campground for a fresh lobster dinner and your own crackling camp fire with s'mores.

Day Five
rockandWake up and walk across the street to our favorite Italian Bakery, Abbracci Bakery & Espresso Bar specialzing in homemade baked goods, great lunches and gourmet espresso drinks.
After you've gotten your fill, drive up the road to Searsport Pines Golf Course. It's a beautiful, well-maintained & challenging 9-hole course (2695/36 par) that can be played as 18 holes. Features include: driving range, pro-shop, practice/putting green, cart rentals and club rentals. "The Gazebo" serves popular favorites for a light or hearty lunch with specials that change daily.

In the afternoon, visit with some of America's favorite works of art, including famous Wyeth paintings at the Farnsworth Art Museum or tour the grand collections of working antique planes, autos, bikes and carriages at the Owls Head Transportation Museum all in Rockland.

Day Six
camdenTravel a few miles down the coast along the Lincolnville Beach into Camden Harbor. Camden Maine is considered to be one of the most beautiful towns on Earth. Spend time wandering through the specialty boutiques and micro-breweries.

Shape magazine recently wrote "The Camden-Rockport area depicts itself as the town where the mountains meet the sea. And they do. Steep hills form a bulwark against the sea, creating a rugged, dramatic landscape. In fact, the trails at Camden Snow Bowl, the local ski and mountain-biking area, overlook Penobscot Bay, the deepest inlet along Maine's serrated coast and reminiscent of a Scandinavian fiord."

As the sun dips into the horizon, pack your favorite bottle of wine and cheese, and relax on a coastal sunset cruise. Your shutter will be clicking as you breeze by seals, dolphins, sea birds and an occasional whale. Don't forget your Searsport Shores Windjammer discount pass, available at the office.

Day Seven
BelfastBelfast...quaint, artsy and not touristy! Dine in fine restaurants, enjoy the children’s waterfront park and take a train ride- all in one day. Later cruise over to Castine or kayak from the campground around beautiful Penobscot Bay alongside the porpoise and seals.
Get a hold of Nancy Maier at Pedaling.com for self guided bike routes throughout Maine. They have great ideas for scenic, novice or advanced rides. Clubs and competitors will also find many helpful tips.

If architecture is "your thing" then you will enjoy wandering the neighborhood of Federal and early-Victorian sea merchant's mansions. Be sure to take along a copy of the "Walking Tour of Belfast" for an interesting and informative narrative.

In the evening join the Belfast Maskers for a performance at the Railroad Theatre on the Bay.
