About Chewonki Campground
Campground in Maine.
Nestled along the scenic Maine coast, Chewonki Campground offers RV travelers an authentic New England camping experience in the charming town of Wiscasset. Located at 235 Chewonki Neck Road, this public campground serves as an ideal basecamp for exploring one of Maine's most picturesque coastal regions, where maritime history, natural beauty, and small-town charm converge.
Wiscasset itself is a gem worth discovering. Known as the "Prettiest Village in Maine," this historic community sits along the Sheepscot River and boasts a vibrant downtown filled with antique shops, art galleries, and excellent local restaurants. The village's architectural character reflects centuries of shipbuilding heritage, and wandering the tree-lined streets feels like stepping back in time. Several waterfront parks offer peaceful spots to stretch your legs and take in river views.
The surrounding area provides endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration. Coastal Maine is renowned for its rugged beauty, and you'll find numerous lighthouses, rocky shores, and scenic drives within reasonable distance from the campground. Bird watchers will appreciate the variety of seabirds and native species found throughout the region. Nearby state parks offer hiking trails through forests and along cliffsides, while local beaches provide opportunities for beachcombing and enjoying ocean breezes.
For those interested in Maine's maritime heritage, the region offers museums and historic sites documenting the state's rich nautical past. Fresh seafood is a highlight of any visit to this area, and local lobster pounds and fish shacks serve meals with waterfront views that you won't forget.
Chewonki Campground attracts visitors seeking a genuine Maine coastal experience without pretension. Families, couples, and seasoned RV travelers appreciate the opportunity to park in a location that provides both peaceful retreat and easy access to activities. Whether you're interested in outdoor adventures, cultural exploration, or simply unwinding by the water, this campground places you perfectly for discovering why Maine's coast captures hearts year after year.

We had an absolute best 5 days at Chewonki. The site we had was placed right with a perfect view of the water, a breeze and shade. We have a popup so didn't need an AC. It was so peaceful and all the people, both staff and campers were so friendly. Bath house was always clean (not a lot of places get that rating from me). Showers were hot, pool was awesome. I can't think of any negatives. W... We had an absolute best 5 days at Chewonki. The site we had was placed right with a perfect view of the water, a breeze and shade.

Beautifully kept Campground. Spectacular views. Many choices for things to do. The owners even had an ice cream social on Saturday with locally made ice cream.

Great camping near downtown Wiscasset. Pretty views & friendly staff. They also have tennis/pickleball court & swimming pool. We didn’t use either. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit too. No internet or cable which makes work a bit difficult, however cell reception is solid (AT&T) No problem getting to/from with a large Class A + Tow vehicle. All RV sites are gravel pad which I don’t... Great camping near downtown Wiscasset. Pretty views & friendly staff. They also have tennis/pickleball court & swimming pool. We didn’t use either. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit too. No internet or cable which makes work a bit difficult, however cell reception is solid (AT&T) No problem getting to/from with a large Class A + Tow vehicle. All RV sites are gravel pad which I don’t mind. Full hookups 30/50 amp. Water pressure is on the lower side. Filled the tank and used onboard pump instead. Could use some more shade trees at the larger sites but very roomy. You’re in a field baking in the sun. Most of the treed sites are for smaller campers or tent site w/o hookups. Also a dock you could launch a canoe or kayak from as well as fish.

We are camping here for a week. Excellent views of the inlet, excellent staff, well maintained camp ground. We wished we could stay longer.
