The best beach camping in New England

Name: New England
Address: Camping
Rating: 4.827

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.

Deer Isle, ME · 12 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

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

Gouldsboro, ME · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

The Point is located in Gouldsboro, in Downeast Maine on the Schoodic Peninsula near the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park on occupied Wabanaki land. The point is our home, offered to guests as a place for seekers of peace and solace to gain a better relationship and appreciation with nature in a world that has forgotten the importance and connection we all have with the planet that sustains us. A priority here for me is keeping this land pristine and respected. Our mission to save and protect our natural environment and keep it natural and wild can only be accomplished with the active mindfulness of you. We aim to prove that hipcamp can be a magical experience for private landowners and campers alike, to provide a means of temporal community and beneficial alternative to traditional campgrounds; one that does not degrade the environment and break the peace that small towns still contain. Please be mindful of the trash you generate and mindful of the noise you are making— we aim to provide seekers of peace a *quiet* time in nature. Together we are here to be an example to others of what mindful camping can look like in this changing world. Thanks for caring to come, see, explore, learn and being apart of the solution! <3 We hope to hear from you <3

Millinocket, ME · 58 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Big Moose Inn Cabins & CampgroundIrving O. Hunt and his brother Lyman built some rough camps on Millinocket Lake before they became interested in the Nesowadnehunk Stream region. Whether or not their old camps were at the same site as the present camps on Millinocket Lake we do not know.The Millinocket Lake Camps, known today as Big Moose Inn, are located on a narrow spit of land separating Ambejejus Lake and Millinocket Lake. Before a dam controlled Ambajejus’ water level, it was possible to pole up the short stream from Millinocket Lake into Ambejejus.Fred Spencer build the camps, originally named Camp Eureka, in 1899 or 1900 and ran them with his brother. With the founding of Millinocket only a few years earlier and lumbering roads nearing Katahdin, the two lakes became more easily accessible. Camp Eureka was advertised as the only camp reachable by both boat (from Norcross) and road (from Millinocket). In 1905, the rate was $1.50 per day, meals included. Spencer also claimed the lakes had no flies or mosquitoes during spring and summer- a phenomenon caused by the way winds blow across the lakes, which makes it difficult for insects to gain a foothold.The camps’ name changed to Camp Spencer and later to Spencer’s Camps. Around 1929 the lease was transferred to Elmer Woodworth, who lived with his wife on a nearby island while they operated the camps. Elmer, a well-known guide, trapped over the winter, and his wife served as the camp cook. The couple soon renamed the camps Millinocket Lake Camps and Trading Post. They also maintained an outlying camp on Sandy Stream for their guests. In 1941, a major fire broke out in the area. The Woodworths saved the camps by wetting them down, but lost their island home when a stray spark jumped the cove. There is some evidence that, for a short time, a gentleman named Johnny Given either held the lease or managed the camps for the Woodworths. Except for that brief change the Woodworths operated the camps for many years until they passed the lease on to their son Ray, who ran them with his wife Muriel.In 1977, the lease was transferred to Bob and Frederica (“Teddy”) Boynton, who in 1981 sold the trading post to Erwin and Maureen Bacon. The Boyntons retained the sporting camp operation and later added a public restaurant. Teddy renamed the camps Big Moose Inn. Bob and his son Bruce made many renovations to the camps, while Teddy decorated and furnished them. The Boynton Family has remained involved in the success of the inn and restaurant. After Teddy’s death in 1991, management passed to Bruce and his sister Laurie, but Bob and other family members are still very involved.The dam separates the flowages of the two lakes. Millinocket Lake is about eight feet above its original level, and Ambajejus is now some 21 feet above its original level. Today several West Branch rafting companies make the inn their seasonal center of operations.At Big Moose, we bring you a rare blend of friendly service and lovely surroundings that successfully reflects our unique personality. Located on Millinocket Lake, Big Moose is the closest full service accommodations to Baxter State Park.

We have four raised platforms, accessible by car, each with a canvas-covered A-frame Each platform is nested in their own private setting around the edges of our 12-acre organic blueberry barren. All four platforms are fully screened-in, with stylish canvas-covered timberframes and circular red doors. These canvas tents are relatively bug-proof and waterproof; you do not need to bring a tent! You do need to bring your own bedding. ***If you are particularly sensitive to bugs, you may want to bring your own tent (to put inside our tent) or a mosquito net. This is the Northeast during the summertime, we cannot ensure there will be no bugs. Blueberry Land is part of Smithereen Farm, but is located around the corner from our Home Farm on Youngs Cove Road, near Reversing Falls. This is an off grid, rustic site with only a port-a-potty. If you need to use any other amenities, you are welcome to use the WIFI, fill your water bottles, charge your electric vehicle and buy supplies at the Smithereen Farmstore (12 Little Falls Road, Pembroke). We sell cold drinks, beer and wine, frozen fish, meat, our own fruit popsicles, also organic veggies, honey, products from many local and Maine farms, camping supplies, ready to eat food, snacks, chocolates and even fresh baked cookies. Park at the store, and then jump into the Pennamaquan River (two dams, a rope swing) to cool off after exploring the town. Note: there is no potable water at the site, you will need to bring a vessel and fill up in town. There are beautiful walking, biking and canoeing opportunities in every direction—check out Cobscook Shores, Downeast Coastal Conservancy trails by Reversing Falls, Maine Coast Heritage trails on the Bold Coast and at Sipps Bay, Nature Conservancy trail at Hersey Point, Shackford head at Eastport, and of course much more on Campobello. Blueberry bushes are low, native, fruit-growing, covered in flowers in spring and then berries in summer, turning bright bright red in the fall when kissed by frost. Our blueberries are certified organic by MOFGA and surrounded by birch, fir, spruce and flowering perennial beds to improve insect habitat. Please DO NOT DRIVE/ tread ON THE BERRIES, they are food that we harvest and sell! Park in the parking lot, three sites are immediately visible, the fourth site is a further drive down the road, past the port-o-potty, in the back field, to the left. Low hung vehicles beware! If in doubt park in the parking lot. Upon booking, we will send you a PDF welcome packet filled with helpful information about the farm, local sites to see, and a comprehensive list of our recommendations. We will say it again: remember to prepare for MOSQUITOES in summer! We really recommend you approach Washington County as an opportunity to PICNIC! The "dining out" options are limited. Bring a pocketknife, a frying pan, a big cooler for butter and milk with ice packs so you can pick up local crabmeat (Betty's Crabmeat) and mayo and salads (Smithereen Farmstore) and eggs from ends of driveways, bring a cutting board—a big water jug, a camp stove/kettle, more warm socks than you think you need... and a sense of adventure! We have a EAT DOWNEAST digital map, guidebook and brochure at the Farmstore you can pick up a copy or download from our website.

4 nights at Broadfork Farmstead

This was my first time using Hipcamp and I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 night stay on the bus. I wish I brought less of my own food so that I could eat more of Carol's, which was amazing. From the welcome board to the breakfast sandwich, apple juice and coffee, it was all truly delicious. I loved how beautiful and quiet the farm was. I also had access to various gorgeous hikes without having to go super far. There's a whole bunch of sight seeing I did not get to so I will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Kindness!

Can’t recommend this camp site enough! I’ve stayed at many hip camp sites, this was one of my favorites. It was clean and well maintained by the hosts. They had a fire all set up for us, all we had to do was light it. There were walking trails accessible right from the campsite that were wide and well marked (by the hosts). It felt like we were in the middle of the woods at our site, but it was comforting knowing the hosts were close by. Especially, when a black bear made a surprise appearance at our camp. The other private camp site saw the bear heading to our camp and yelled to us to give us warning. The hosts also responded quickly and came down on their tractor/4 wheeler to help move the bear along and get it far away from our camp. They came back to make sure we were ok and to see if we needed anything. They provided us with bear spray and welcomed us to move our tents up by the house if we weren’t comfortable staying at our site. We were all so grateful for their help and their hospitality. We had dogs with us, so the ticks were pretty bad, but that’s the case where ever you are in the woods. Bring spray and be prepared because you will find them on you and your pets. We will definitely be back! Thank you to our hosts!

The location was incredible, it felt secluded but was close enough to everything we needed. It was a short and scenic drive to Acadia which was perfect. We saw lots of deer and wildlife. Our senior dog loved the place as well!

Beautiful spot, great host. Each site feels private. Site 2 and 3 are especially well suited for fly fishing.

Everything we need and more was provided too us by Joan, the lady of the farm. An intimate site, a delicious steak produced at the farm, neat and clean installations.

We loved camping in this beautiful location! Very pleasant atmosphere and a short walk to a very private beach! Directions were very easy to follow and communication was great! We would definitely stay again!

Weekend Trip to Searenity Beachfront Land Off Grid

Tent camping on Kristopher’s land was beautiful! There is a lovely and short path to the ocean with gorgeous views. No interaction with the host required, which is great for other socially anxious folks! Firewood was restocked daily!

Weekend Trip to Vermont Ranch & Riverside Retreat

While we didn't have the warmest weather, Lucinda's property was absolutely beautiful. It is peaceful and a perfect getaway. Lucinda was kind, welcoming, and accommodating, and helped us manage as a larger group on the property. A huge plus was being by the water and getting to spend time with the sweet horses. If you love camping and are looking for an elevated but immersed experience this is the spot for you! We'd love to come back sometime.

We really enjoyed staying at this spot. The little hike through the woods was fun, the secluded beach was amazing, and all the amenities we needed were available. Even though there are houses nearby it feels like you are alone in the woods. I would absolutely stay here again.
