Cobscook Bay State Park

Cobscook Bay State Park, on U.S. Route 1 four miles south of Dennysville in easternmost Maine, borders Whiting Bay within Cobscook Bay, home to some of the highest tides in the state (up to 28 ft). Its campground has 106 sites: 27 in the "Whiting Bay Camping Area" loop, all with electric & water hookups (confirmed by the park's own 2026 season notice naming the same range, "campsites 1 through 27"), and 79 walk-in tent/drive-up sites without hookups around Broad Cove, Harbor Point, and Cobscook Point - plus separate small and large group camping areas. NOTE a pricing quirk: unlike the 6 other Maine parks with hookup sites, Cobscook Bay's fee schedule does not charge a separate, higher hookup rate - all sites here are billed at the same flat rate regardless of hookup. Part of the historic Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge recreation lease.
