    Cottonwood Camping & RV Park - This was a short drive as Cottonwood is only about 8 miles from the coast, just west of Englishman Bay.

    Folks, I don't really know what to say other than 'you just gotta come here!'…read moreI love this place! I came through on a hum last year, stayed for 2 nights and 3 days. Told Shirley (the owner) I would be back "next year" to help out, and here I am, Aug. 8th, 2019, sad to leave after spending 4 weeks in the grand teepee, helping out around the camp. Off route 1, into the woods, to grandmama's RV we go! But it is so much more... tent sites, group sites, great trails, and great vibe from the surrounding community. But what you really want to know is; this is a great base for exploring coastal Maine & Downeast. Now understand 2 things... Downeast is on the coast, but when the term 'downeast' is used, it is very much a reference to the culture of the folk who grew up and live here and have also known it through the generations of their family. Once you get here, you're in the thick of what "coastal Maine" really is without the crowds of Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, etc.. from Cottonwood you will find within 20 mins. Never crowded beaches with all the beauty of those other places... and you can also make a day trip of getting to Easport or Calaise and just breath in New Brunswick! Oh yeah, bring your passport... One of the other things I love about camping here, are the various small sites that are suitable for bicyclers and bikers who travel with minimal gear and need to stop for short stays. Even though its right off the road, once in, you're cast into the woods! Oh yeah, and I can't think of another camp with such a great bath house along this route... Cottonwood Camping is truly a great experience and my pick as a base for exploring Downeast, Coastal Maine, the far north on the east side of the U.S. Shirley Cotton makes it happen! She is the BOMB!!

    I can honestly say this place was easy to find and very photogenic. Easy to recommend.read more

    This was my first camping experience, so take that for what it's worth... The campground was…read moreperfect for us, clean bathrooms, electric and water at our site and decent space. The one downside was proximity to other sites, not sure what I expected so I don't know how to judge that one. Campsite was also centrally located and had us on the trails within 15 min. Will return for sure.

    This place has gotten SCARY and creepy!! Let me start by saying that I personally have been camping…read morehere since 1988, and my family longer. Someone who looked homeless came unannounced into my campsite at 1030 pm!, when my kids were asleep in the tent. When I asked why they didn't announce themselves they got offended and gave me a really hard time, getting very upset with me, even after simply explaining why I was uncomfortable. This happened 2 different nights. After this they then called my wife while we were on a hike very upset with me for questioning why their staff members came into out site 2 different nights unannounced. I thought, in reality, if I pay $500 for a few nights in the woods I had the right, as a customer, to ask simply why they kept coming into my campsite; but apparently I was wrong when it came to this campground. If you like paying tons of money for campsites to have staff come into your site to bother you in the late hours of the night this is the campground for you.
