Another lovely beach town is Kennebunkport. You can also walk the shoreline at Marginal Way or take a scenic boat ride from Perkins Cove. There are also plenty of places to stay along the beach as well as ample eateries that feature some of the most signature beach foods, like seafood and ice cream. Ogunquit, located in York County, has two beaches. With 228 miles of general shoreline (and quite a bit more if you include the tidal shoreline), Maine definitely has some beach towns, many of them being some of the most scenic places in ME. And even if you miss sunrise, the views of the ocean and Mount Desert Island are phenomenal. The most popular access is via the 2.2-mile North Ridge Trail. At 1,527 feet, it’s the tallest mountain in the park and for a few months out of the year, it sees the first glimpses of sunlight. Want to see the first sunrise in the US? Head to Acadia National Park’s Cadillac Mountain.
Not only is it a gorgeous sight with an assortment of waterfalls dotting the trail to the main event, but it’s also pretty accessible with only a 226-foot elevation gain. In West Forks, there’s the 1.7-mile Moxie Falls Trail, which takes you out to the namesake’s 90-foot waterfall. Do it all from one of these top-notch glampsites in Maine.With over 17 million acres of forest within, there is certainly a lot of hiking amongst the most beautiful places in Maine. Unless you prefer the snowier New England seasons, the best time to visit Maine is from June through September when you can take advantage of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, canoeing or kayaking in warm, sunny weather and enjoy a bounty of locally-grown food. With 3,478 miles of coastline (more than California), over 3,000 islands, a vibrant outdoor culture, and one of the most-visited National Parks in the country (Acadia), there’s plenty to see and do-including but not limited to those popular Bar Harbor campgrounds-while glamping in this northern state. In a coveted adventure hub like Maine, you can do exactly that. Doesn’t it sound nice to have hot coffee and breakfast delivered to your tent while you gaze out at the jewel-toned blue waters of the Atlantic? Yes, yes it does. These days, you can also getaway in yurts, bell tents, treehouses, and even converted Airstreams or tiny homes.īut it doesn’t always have to be uber-fancy, glamping in its humbler form is ideal for the outdoor-curious who wants to have a camping experience, but doesn’t have all the gear or means necessary to get out and do it. Lodging is typically in a safari-inspired canvas tent, the kind that tracks back centuries when monarchs traveled the globe in lavish, palatial tents, or bougie colonizers from Europe and America went on safaris in Africa. Over the years, glamping has become immensely popular for its resort-style accommodations, high-quality amenities, and in some instances, established “ glampgrounds” that offer on-site dining, activities, and everything you could need in some of the most sought-out places.
Add luxurious details like beds with fine linens and a hot shower in a ready-made tents or yurt and you’re glamping-outdoor adventure travel’s hottest trend.
Start with a campsite in a naturally beautiful destination, like a National Park or on the outskirts of a scenic hamlet, then strip away all the rugged, hard parts: lugging the gear, eating instant oatmeal, and heeding the call of the wild in the wild.
