Lamoine State Park Campground

About

Lamoine State Park sits on 55 acres along the rocky shores of Frenchman Bay in Downeast Maine. The campground offers 61 single-family sites arranged in loops descending from higher ground to the waterfront. Sites at the top of the campground tend to be grassier with more sun exposure, while those closer to the water provide more shade and tree cover. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and grate. Facilities include a bathhouse with flush toilets and hot showers, additional vault toilets throughout the campground, potable water from spigots, and a dump station near the entrance. There is one ADA-accessible site. The park accommodates RVs and trailers up to 35 feet, though some sources indicate the park can handle units up to 45 feet depending on the specific site. Beyond camping, Lamoine offers a trailered boat launch for exploring Frenchman Bay by kayak, canoe, or motorboat. The park also features a picnic area, playground, and day-use beach access. Its location 8 miles southeast of Ellsworth makes it a quieter, more affordable alternative to staying directly in Acadia National Park while still providing convenient access to Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, and the surrounding Downeast coast.

Directions

From Ellsworth, take Route 184 southeast for 8 miles to the park entrance at 23 State Park Road, Lamoine.
