Camden Hills State Park

Camden Hills State Park, two miles north of Camden on U.S. Route 1, is known for the panoramic Penobscot Bay view atop Mt. Battie (accessible by trail or the seasonal Mt. Battie Auto Road) and 30 miles of hiking trails. The Bureau's own "Outdoors in Maine" guide states the park has "a 106-site camping area" with "water and electric hook-ups on select sites" (also confirmed via the statewide fee schedule's higher Camden Hills hookup rate), but the exact per-site hookup count isn't available and is left null rather than guessed. A separate group camping area exists in the day-use section across Route 1. Paid WiFi is available at select campsites - an unusual amenity among Maine state parks.
