MAINE a mini guide ✨

On our recent Roadtrip we spent 3 nights and 4 days in Maine camping.

Need to knows:

• We stayed in Blackwoods Campground in Acadia. The campground was amazing, and only a ten minute walk to the coast and that’s where we went stargazing and watched the sunsets.

Day 1: We arrived in the evening and set up camp and then watched the sunset and star gazed.

Day 2: We woke up early that morning and watched the sunrise from the coast before heading off to find some trails. The first one we did was Jordan Path to the South Bubble trail. We drove around and stopped at lookouts and some little lakes and such before stopping for some blueberry pie. We then did the Great head trail before going back to the campground for dinner and more stargazing.

Day 3: We woke up again early this morning and started with the Precipice Trail. DISCLAIMER: precipice is not for everyone, it’s extremely strenuous and involves using iron rungs on open cliff faces, if that’s not for you beehive trail is the suggested alternative. It took us a few hours and then we drove around park loop. To finish off we got tickets to go to Cadillac mtn for sunset and start gazing there.

Day 4: We left around 10 and then headed to Bar Harbor where we got breakfast at the Cafe This Way and got some things to take home to family. We then left and stopped at Portland Head Lighthouse and got some Gelato before heading to our next stop.

... Read moreWhile my recent 4-day adventure in Acadia National Park was absolutely incredible, Maine offers so much more to explore for every kind of traveler! If you're planning your own trip, it's worth considering the state's diverse regions and what kind of experience you're truly seeking. One of the first things I learned about planning a Maine trip is that the weather can be quite varied, even within the same season. While I was lucky with clear skies for stargazing in Acadia, it's always wise to check a reliable forecast like Weather Underground before you head out, especially if you're venturing further inland or planning coastal activities. For example, the coastal fog can roll in quickly, while inland areas like Millinocket, known as the 'Gateway to the Katahdin Region,' can experience more extreme temperature swings, particularly if you're planning a hiking or wilderness adventure. Packing layers is always a good idea, whether you're exploring the rocky coastline or hiking through dense forests. Beyond the iconic Acadia coastline, Maine boasts countless hidden gems. For those who love a mix of freshwater and ocean, places like the Pemaquid Peninsula offer a charming alternative. While I didn't get to visit Pemaquid Pond on this trip, I've heard wonderful things about its serene waters perfect for kayaking or fishing, often nestled close to picturesque coastal villages with historic lighthouses and delicious seafood shacks. It’s a different vibe than Acadia's rugged mountains but equally captivating, offering a more tranquil, classic Maine experience. If your heart yearns for deeper wilderness and grander peaks, then the Millinocket region is a must-consider. This area is famously the jumping-off point for Baxter State Park and Mount Katahdin, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. While my Acadia trip was full of incredible coastal hikes like Jordan Path and the challenging Precipice Trail, Millinocket offers an entirely different kind of challenge and reward – vast forests, pristine lakes, and the awe-inspiring scale of Katahdin. It’s a paradise for serious hikers, whitewater rafters, and those truly seeking to disconnect and immerse themselves in untouched nature. Just remember, wilderness travel here requires careful planning, and checking local conditions, perhaps even using a detailed weather report, is paramount. No matter where you go in Maine, embrace the local charm. Stop at roadside stands for fresh blueberries, try a lobster roll from a local shack, and always keep an eye out for stunning sunsets and starry nights, similar to the amazing views we caught from Cadillac Mountain. From the bustling streets of Bar Harbor to the quiet coves near Portland Head Lighthouse, each part of Maine tells its own story. So, while my guide focuses on Acadia, don't hesitate to branch out and discover the many other beautiful facets of this incredible state!
