The best beach camping in New England

·

New England beach camping ranges from cabin rentals on the shorelines of Maine to state park stays in Rhode Island. No matter the state, East Coast campers are sure to find tent sites and RV parks on sandy beaches to suit their styles. If you're hoping to hike, opt for a New Hampshire getaway in view of the White Mountains, or know that Acadia National Park hits the sweet spot for summitters, swimmers, and solitude seekers. Weekend adventurers can head to an oceanfront campground in Cape Cod, where Boston, Provincetown, and Providence are all easily accessible, or explore Connecticut's small towns from Rocky Neck State Park. Saltwater camping is at its best in warm weather, but Northeast campsites are just as fun—and all the more peaceful—in the cooler months. Spend chilly mornings cozying up in a waterfront yurt near the Atlantic Ocean, and you'll appreciate the sea even without swimming.

We enjoy actively managing the property for wildlife habitat and tree growth. The diverse landscape includes over 1/2 a mile of river frontage, a 10 acre wildlife pond, rolling hills in the meadows and steep forested terrain with more than 10 miles of multi-use trails running throughout. Our lands have long been open to local hikers, bikers and cross country skiers, we are excited to share this beautiful property with a larger community. Scout for wildlife and birds, on our private 400 acres of forests and fields. Tire yourself by hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, or cross country skiing the 10 miles of private trails.  Located across the river from Riverlands State Park, just minutes from Lewiston-Auburn, Bates College, local breweries and just 2 1/2 hours from Boston. Wildlife abounds both on the property and across the river at Androscoggin Riverlands State Park.Quite often, a gentle breeze off the water will offer relief from black flies and mosquitoes, but the right bug repellent is recommended especially to fend off those pesky ticks that are so common in Maine.

7. Four Acre Woods Island Campground

16 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Deer Isle, ME
Tucked among spruce, fir, and birch on Sunshine Island in Deer Isle–Stonington, Four Acre Woods began more than 60 years ago as a small, family-run campground known as Sunshine Campground. Travelers from across the world visited this quiet island forest, drawn to its raw beauty and the peaceful energy that generations before us had loved and cared for. The campground eventually closed in the 1990s and sat untouched for over 15 years—its trails, clearings, and old campsites slowly reclaimed by the woods. The land waited, quietly, for someone to bring it back to life. In the years that followed, Caleb, a longtime local operator on the island, took interest in the property. Recognizing both its history and its potential to offer people a deeper experience of Deer Isle’s natural beauty, he began the process of carefully restoring and reopening the land. Working season by season, Caleb rebuilt the sites, added new infrastructure, re-established utilities, and designed a campground that honors the land’s roots while offering a comfortable, modern, and nature-forward experience for today’s guests. In July 2020, the property reopened under a new name: Four Acre Woods. Today, it blends the spirit of the original Sunshine Campground with thoughtful stewardship, simple comforts, and a deep respect for the forest that surrounds it. Visitors once again gather under the birches and spruces—sharing campfires, slow mornings, quiet nights, and the timeless island calm that makes this land so special. So— Welcome Home. Sincerely, The Caretakers of Four Acre Woods

New England beach camping ranges from cabin rentals on the shorelines of Maine to state park stays in Rhode Island. No matter the state, East Coast campers are sure to find tent sites and RV parks on sandy beaches to suit their styles. If you're hoping to hike, opt for a New Hampshire getaway in view of the White Mountains, or know that Acadia National Park hits the sweet spot for summitters, swimmers, and solitude seekers. Weekend adventurers can head to an oceanfront campground in Cape Cod, where Boston, Provincetown, and Providence are all easily accessible, or explore Connecticut's small towns from Rocky Neck State Park. Saltwater camping is at its best in warm weather, but Northeast campsites are just as fun—and all the more peaceful—in the cooler months. Spend chilly mornings cozying up in a waterfront yurt near the Atlantic Ocean, and you'll appreciate the sea even without swimming.

Bakers Island Light Station is located on Bakers Island in Salem Sound, a 60-acre island with a large summer colony. The lighthouse stands at 59 ft tall and continues to guide ships in and out of Salem Harbor with an alternating 20-second white-red light. The 10-acre light station, which includes historic structures such as two keepers’ houses, an oil house, and a lantern room (now operating as a gift shop), is located in the northwest quadrant of the island and was formally owned and operated by the US Coast Guard. The rest of the island is in private ownership including the Bakers Island Wharf. The deed to historic Bakers Island Light Station was transferred on August 27, 2014, from the U.S. government to the Essex National Heritage Commission (Essex Heritage). Enjoy the sights and sounds of off-the-grid coastal living at the Bakers Island Light Station Campsite. Set up your tent on a raised platform and take in the beauty of Salem Sound. Meet the summer lighthouse keepers, stroll through island trails, and unwind...just three miles off the coast of Salem! Getting to camp: PLEASE READ - the only way to get to Bakers Island Light Campsite is by boat. You have three options: 1) Use your own kayaks and paddle out to our beach (this is recommended for advanced kayakers only). 2) Take our landing craft, Naumkeag out to the island for $70 per person. (Boat departs from Blaney Street dock on Friday at noon and picks you up from the Island on Sunday at noon). FREE overnight parking is available there. 3) Take your own boat, and rent a mooring for $50 a night (you will need your own dinghy to get ashore).
