Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

A gracefully designed switchback driveway leads you to a cleared level landing. The spot is elevated nestled in among hardwood trees where you can pitch a tent or park a self-contained RV (No larger than 24'). Due to the switchback design of the driveway, a combination car/truck and towed camper configuration will not work. East Boothbay is quiet, relaxing, and beautiful. Be sure to stop by East Boothbay General Store for delicious house made sandwiches, salads, pizza, a selection of beers and wine; eat in on the small porch or take away for a picnic. Take a short walk along the narrow quiet road to the ocean where waves are crashing on the rocks. Don't miss the gorgeous sunsets-simply spectacular. Or just relax at the site and enjoy the beauty of the nature that surrounds you. It's a short 10 minute drive to Boothbay Harbor for whale and puffin watches, great restaurants, sunset and reggae cruises, and sailing trips. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is another must see-as it is New England's largest botanical garden.This is a 1 acre wooded lot with a switchback driveway that is approximately 10' wide. There are 2 level sites at different elevations to choose from. Samoset Trail is a slow country road with no sidewalk. It's a 2 minute walk to the association dock "Pete's Landing" at Little River and a 10 minute walk to the ocean. There are no hookups at this site so you must be self-contained. Please take all waste with you when you leave and leave no trace.

Camp Nepenthe

Wooded Paradise w/access to the Sea

This was one of the BEST camping spots we have ever had! This place is so peaceful! Being in a self-contained Van we can park almost anywhere...but staying here, in the idyllic East Boothbay area, is hard to come by! The host are just amazing, super friendly & joyously accommodating! We sat with our coffee while watching deer just 20ft from us...you can see the twinkling of the sea thru the trees just below the hill...dreamlike setting. It is just a 2 minute walk to launch your kayak or SUP off an amazing dock. We came for some much needed R&R with our dog...and it delivered on all fronts! We will be back! If you get a chance to stay here DO IT! Treat the space with respect & honor the amazing opportunity it is to stay here.
