Camping in Southeastern Maine

We marked the end of the semester with a camping trip to the southern coast of Maine, we were gone Thursday to Sunday. According to the weather forecast it was supposed to rain Thursday, scattered showers Friday and sunny Saturday and Sunday; they were right. Rain it did, all day Thursday, Thursday night, most of Friday and Friday night. Eventually the sun did come out and we had a good time.

Knowing that it was going to rain Friday we spent a good part of the day at the Children’s Museum of Maine. L served up ice cream, drove a firetruck, fed tadpoles and dozens of other activities. That evening we did have a reprieve from the rain and roasted bratwursts and made s’mores on the fire.

Saturday the sun did come out and we spent the day near the ocean. We climbed rocks and found snails near Nubble Light,

and splashed in the waves and waded in the tidal pools of Ogunquit Beach.

  1. Looks like you had fun. So, is this place worth going back to? And did you have any sand in your baked potatoes?

  2. Are you asking about the Children’s Museum? Just kidding. Ogunquit beach is a really great beach. There are also some other great beaches in the area. We would also definitely consider returning to Dixon’s Campground. The area is a tourist mecca, however, and would be really busy in July and August.
