Coastal Camping



My lovely wife and I went camping for a few days at the coast of Maine. The campground was like many many others located on the coast from Maine to Florida. There was a sizable area of full time RV campers. Many of them had porches and sun rooms added on. It had a short term RV area with very tight sites. The tenting area was small and cramped.


We brought our L. L. Bean Alpine 6 tent. It’s larger enough for me to stand up and has a small attached screen room. While it’s a sizable tent it’s not a monster. Fortunately the park manager let me park my car on a nearby site that wasn’t booked. 


It was near Route 1 and the railroad tracks. Good thing we didn’t go camping for the open spaces, peace and quiet. We get that at home. 


What we did get was close access to the ocean, lots of antique stores and restaurants. Also, we have friend who live about 35 minutes away and they joined us for a campfire. Another night my oldest daughter and her family drove up from Massachusets for a day trip. After we checked out our Maine friends treated us to lunch at a restaurant they are fond of. 


It was a pretty good trip and not terribly expensive. However, it was nice to go home and get away from the crowds and noise.

    1. It's pretty here. I took a ride up to Errol and Colebrook and it's moving along even more up there.
