Cobscook Bay Camping
A quiet spot for a coastal camping getaway in Maine
Campground Information
The Cobscook Bay State Park Campground, located in the Downeast region of Maine, offers something for every type of camper with wooded walk-in sites to ocean front sites with amazing views of the bay. All of the sites are private, have fire-rings and make great home-bases for exploring the surrounding area.

Western Head Preserve- 3.2 miles

Other Notes
Bold Coast Trail is a longer trail but a great option. The ~10 mile look takes you along the coastline and offers great views. There are some camping spots in this area as well that are first-come-first-serve sites. It can be a bit crowded as it has grown in popularity and buggy so we opted to explore other trails during this trip
Lubec Brewing Company is a local favorite spot in the downtown area of Lubec (www.lubecbrewing.com)
Eastport is another popular coastal town to visit. There are shops, dining options, etc. along their working waterfront downtown (www.eastportchamber.net)
Bring you passport! A quick drive over the bridge onto Campobello Island will take you into Canada. There are many areas to explore here like The Roosevelt’s Summer home (www.rooseveltcampobello.org), Head Harbour Lighthouse and more.
