Camden Hills State Park Campground

About

Camden Hills State Park Campground sits in the forested hills of mid-coast Maine, about two miles north of the town of Camden on Route 1. The 107-site campground accommodates tents, pop-ups, and RVs with sites ranging from small (up to 20 feet) to extra-large (35+ feet). Select sites offer electric and water hookups. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Comfort stations provide hot showers and flush toilets, and a dump station serves RV campers. The park encompasses over 5,700 acres with more than 30 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding. Mount Battie, the park's signature summit, offers panoramic views of Penobscot Bay and the surrounding islands. A paved auto road provides vehicle access to the summit for those who prefer to drive. The campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the Camden area, with the harbor town's shops and restaurants just a short drive away. Winter camping is available by reservation with rustic shelter accommodations. The park maintains year-round day-use access with seasonal hours for camping operations.
