Traveling to Maine

What area in Maine is the best place for lobster, shopping, and relaxing at the ocean? Not necessarily in that order. LOL!

When are you planning to go? I ask because the reservation window have already opened at most places for this summer.

We went to Bar Harbor Maine 2 years ago and had 2 full lobsters, 2 ears of corn and a pound of mussels delivered to the campsite for $34.95

I enjoyed Bar Harbor and the surrounding area. Stayed at the Pumpkin Patch in Hermon, right outside of Bangor. Easy day tripping.

A little more info on your RV would help with answers. There's a new area in Acadia that hasn't been discovered yet. If you can dry camp, there are more options.

Bar Harbor/Acadia for sure.

We stayed at The Narrows Too RV Park in Trenton ME. Free shuttle into Acadia Park, lobster nearby. Some sites on the water. $$. We got a pull thru site not on the water for reasonable price and still had a peek view of water.

We do Southern Maine. We stay in the Sanford area which is about 30 minutes from Ocean. Close to Kitterey Outlets for school clothes and everything you can think of. An hour ?? from L. L. Bean. Your choice of sandy beaches range from crowded to almost empty. More than enough sea food places to pick from.

We are heading to Belfast at the end of June this year. I have reservations at the Moorings RV Resort right on the ocean. There are plenty of places to explore that are more touristy (Camden, Bar Harbor), but we like the small town feel of Belfast.

Bar harbor is a long ways up in Maine the southern part of Maine is very nice

We aren't fans of the Bar Harbor area. We enjoy Boothbay Harbor area. From this area you can get to the Kittery area in a day and go to Bar Harbor in a day and all in between. As far as lobster, no matter where you are in Maine, you will find great places for that. Some are better than others but all are very good.

As far as shopping, depends on what you mean. Boothbay area has the usual trinket stores, upscale womens clothing in Boothbay Harbor and alot of pottery shops in Boothbay. If you are talking about the usual mall type of shops, Portland is about an hour away. Freeport iis about 30 mintues away, with alot of shops. Hope this helps.
