On our way to Portland, Maine we decided to spend some time in the Boothbay Harbor, Maine and explore the coves, restaurants and shops.
Shore Hills Campground and RV Park
Shore Hills Campground is about 3 miles from downtown Boothbay Harbor, Maine. They put us in a pull through site. After we leveled, we noticed the sewer foot-operated cap was on backwards and it was uphill from the RV. The neighbors sewer was also uphill of their coach. Maybe in the past the sites faced the other direction, but the new decks they built said otherwise. We needed to do laundry so moved to a back in site where the sewer was downhill. 50 amp service, 50 psi water pressure, ok internet speed when it worked, and good satellite signal. Each site had its own garbage can and recycle was nearby.
Couldn’t figure out why we booked here because the area is open, unattractive, some road noise, and blah. Then we explored the rest of the campground, which is heavily wooded and by the water with huge private sites. But, only 30 amp. Since it was in the high 70’s, we decided to stay with 50 amp so that we could run the ac, cook, and do laundry at the same time. Really liked the vintage Shasta Daisy camper!
Boothbay Harbor, Maine
The main road going in and out of Boothbay was under major construction. Cars were backed up over 2 miles in both directions. Thankfully, Siri routed us on the back roads. The town is a tourist destination and very cute. There are restaurants, bars, and small shops everywhere. It was fun to walk the streets exploring.
Chowder House
This is a fun and colorful restaurant on the wharf. Everyone we met were friendly, full of good information, and a joy to talk to. The bar was an old sailboat. Enjoyed a haddock chowder.
East Boothbay Harbor, Maine
It was a foggy day. We drove along a winding road against the ocean front. The homes had gray aged cedar siding with white trim tucked amongst trees and faced the ocean. Geez, something out of a New England magazine. We hiked along Ocean Point Walk.
Lobster Roll
Ok, not the most healthy, low calorie, low cholesterol lunch, but huge chunks of lobster! Definitely prefer steamed lobster to a lobster roll.
