Cobscook Bay State Park Campground

About

Cobscook Bay State Park sits on an 888-acre peninsula surrounded on three sides by the waters of Cobscook Bay, home to some of the most extreme tidal fluctuations on the Atlantic coast. The bay's name derives from the Maliseet-Passamaquoddy word meaning "boiling tides," and the 24-foot tidal range creates a dynamic ecosystem that attracts seals, bald eagles, ospreys, and migratory shorebirds. The campground offers 106 sites for tents and RVs, with many premier waterfront locations along Whiting Bay. A newly constructed bathhouse provides flush toilets, hot showers, and drinking water. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with firewood available for purchase in the park. Two group camping areas accommodate parties of 12 and 30 campers respectively. The park serves as an excellent base for exploring Washington County's remote Downeast coast. Two easy hiking trails wind through the property, and the boat launch provides access to Cobscook Bay for experienced paddlers and boaters comfortable with strong tidal currents.
