Tent Camping in New Brunswick

Cottonwood Camping and RV Park

16 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer, 1 Treehouse

Cottonwood Camping and RV Park in Columbia Falls, ME, offers 17 RV sites, 5 cabin and treehouse rentals, and 7 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites are labeled by exactly what they deliver: water-and-electric back-ins at 30-amp, 20-30-amp, and 20-30-50-amp, plus full-hookup 20-30-50-amp pull-throughs and a camper rental. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. At 70 feet the pull-throughs take long coaches. A general store, a snack bar, firewood, a dump station, and walking trails cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. A pond, picnicking, and planned activities fill the grounds, with a state park and off-road riding nearby. The treehouse accommodations are the standout. Columbia Falls sits at 1140 US Highway 1 in the blueberry barrens and coastal forest of Downeast Maine. The Blueberry gift shop is across the street, and the Ruggles House and Old School House are in the village. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Blueberry season and the short Downeast summer both fill the park.

Big Moose Inn Cabins and Campground

8 RV Sites, 15 Cabins, 27 Tent Sites, 14 Hotel Rooms

Big Moose Inn Cabins and Campground in Millinocket, ME, offers 8 RV sites, 29 cabin and hotel rooms, and 27 tent sites, with room for rigs up to 35 feet. RV sites are back-ins carrying water and electric with a fire pit — there's no sewer at the site, so plan on dumping elsewhere, and confirm your site's amp rating when you book, since service here is lighter than a modern coach typically expects. The 35-foot maximum keeps this to smaller rigs. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, WiFi, and on-site dining are available, and pets are welcome. With 29 rooms and 27 tent sites alongside just 8 RV sites, this is a lodge and campground first. Boat and kayak rentals put guests on Millinocket Lake for paddling, boating, paddle boats, fishing, and hiking. Millinocket is the gateway to Maine's most remote country — Big Moose is the closest full-service lodging to Baxter State Park, Katahdin, and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Rates for sites, cabins, rooms, and tent spots are on the booking page. Eight RV sites at the Baxter gateway means summer books months out.

Bar Harbor Campground

191 RV Sites, 111 Tent Sites

Bar Harbor Campground in Maine offers 192 full-hookup RV sites and 111 tent sites on a scenic bluff overlooking the Atlantic, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. Full-hookup back-in and pull-through categories at both amperages join a lake, beach, sports courts, and bar on Mount Desert Island. One hundred ninety-two sites span full hookup 30-amp back-in, full hookup 30-amp pull-through, full hookup 30/50-amp back-in, and full hookup 30/50-amp pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Sixty feet is generous for coastal Maine, where most properties cap well below that. One hundred eleven tent sites and cabins make the tent inventory exceptional — more tent sites than most campgrounds have sites of any kind. A laundry, dump station, and a bar handle the practical side. A lake, beach, sports courts, basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, an arcade, playground, and picnicking fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. The bluff position over the Atlantic is the property's defining feature, and the location is hard to improve on. Acadia National Park's granite summits, the carriage road network that Rockefeller philanthropy preserved, Cadillac Mountain, and Bar Harbor's working waterfront are all within a short drive — one of the most complete and most visited natural landscapes in the northeastern United States. Summer and fall foliage drive intense demand on Mount Desert Island, and Acadia fills. Reserve as far ahead as you can for July through mid-October.

Stetson Shores Campground

6 RV Sites, 11 Tent Sites

Stetson Shores Campground in Stetson, ME, offers 6 RV sites and 11 tent sites, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 35 feet. Sites come in three categories — full-hookup, beach full-hookup, and beach water-and-electric — with full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric plus a fire pit and picnic table. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management, and the 35-foot maximum keeps this to smaller rigs. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and a dump station cover the essentials, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. A beach, a boat ramp, boat docks, kayak rentals, a pond, walking trails, sport courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, and a playground fill the grounds, with swimming, boating, paddling, fishing, hiking, birding, and planned activities. Stetson sits on 29 wooded acres on the shore of Pleasant Lake in Penobscot County, in the central Maine lake belt where glacially carved basins hold cold, clear, undeveloped water. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Beach full-hookup sites book first.

from $35/night

Moosehead Family Campground

24 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

Moosehead Family Campground in Greenville, ME, offers 24 RV sites and 8 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 20/30-amp and back-in 20/30/50-amp, each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, a library, on-site dining, and a playground cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. The water access is what sets the place apart: a marina, boat docks, fishing guides working from the property, plus a pond, creek frontage, walking trails, sport courts, tennis, and basketball, with boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, and birding. Golf is nearby. The campground sits at 312 Moosehead Lake Road on Route 15, one mile south of Moosehead Lake and the town of Greenville — Maine's largest lake, the largest moose population in the lower 48, and the wilderness canoe routes of the Katahdin-Moosehead region. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Maine's short summer means July and August book far ahead.

Spacious Skies Balsam Woods

115 RV Sites, 6 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Balsam Woods in Abbot, Maine, offers 115 RV sites, six cabins, and two tent sites in the Maine Highlands, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories at both amperages join an outdoor pool, beach, boat ramp, and jumping pillow. One hundred fifteen sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Seventy-five feet is generous for northern Maine. Six cabins and two tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a snack bar handle the practical side. All guests check in at the main office and sign the terms — e-signature in advance is encouraged. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a boat ramp, pond, and river supporting fishing, swimming, and whitewater rafting. A jumping pillow, recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, gem mining, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest. Stargazing and birding are exceptional this far north. Piscataquis County is the heart of Maine's wildest country — Moosehead Lake, Katahdin in Baxter State Park, and the Appalachian Trail's northern terminus are all within range. The season is short. Reserve well ahead for July and August.
