With so much of Maine’s land uninhabited, it’s not hard to find a little spot to camp on no matter where you are. We love the camping that exists within the many state parks here, but every so often we want something a little more…luxurious. But how can you combine the fun of camping with the comforts of a luxury hotel? By booking yourself some time at the most unique glamping spot in the state!
Welcome to Sandy Pines Campground in Kennebunkport! Located right near Goose Rocks Beach, this totally family-friendly resort-style camping experience is one of the most unique in the country.
Of course, they offer traditional tent camping sites complete with a fire pit and picnic table. If you choose to bring your tent you can choose from sites that are wide-open and sunny or shady with a salt marsh view. And electricity and water hookups can be round at some of the sites.
Another traditional option is the RV site. Available nightly or longer-term seasonally, these spots are great for those who like all the creature comforts but aren't quite ready for glamping.
While we can't argue with the fun of traditional camping, Sandy Pines is best known for their glamping options! They offer glamping tents for couples, like the one pictured here. Inside you'll feel like you're in a hotel room. But step outside and you'll have the best of the Maine outdoors at your fingertips.
For even more comfort you can opt for one of their camp cottages. With sturdy walls and all the same interior details as the glamping tents, this is a great option if you're easing your way into camping.
And then there are the more unique retreats! Ranging from a Conestoga wagon to Airstreams to a VW bus and everything in-between, these overnight experiences are truly one-of-a-kind!
Or, perhaps you'd prefer something like the Oasis Dome offering views or privacy depending on your preference. There are 9 different unique retreats to choose from and each one is unforgettable.
If you're looking for a unique way to camp in Maine this is definitely your top spot! And there are even more options than we've included here. Be sure to check out the website below to see everything they offer.
Sandy Pines Campground is open seasonally with some options for the winter as well. You can learn more about all of their options by visiting their website. Or, check them out on Facebook. You can reach them on 207-967-2483.
