About Deer Island Point Campground

Campground in Maine.

Nestled along the rugged Maine coastline, Deer Island Point Campground offers RV travelers an authentic coastal camping experience in the charming community of Cummings Cove. This public campground provides an ideal basecamp for exploring one of New England's most picturesque regions, where granite cliffs meet the Atlantic Ocean and maritime heritage runs deep through every village and harbor.

The location puts you in the heart of Down East Maine, a region celebrated for its natural beauty and quintessential New England character. The nearby waters are home to working lobster boats, and the area's fishing villages showcase the traditional lifestyle that has defined this coast for generations. Cummings Cove itself offers a peaceful retreat from busier tourist destinations, allowing visitors to experience authentic Maine without overwhelming crowds.

From your campground base, you'll find endless opportunities for exploration and recreation. The surrounding area features numerous hiking trails that wind through coastal forests and along dramatic shorelines, offering breathtaking ocean vistas and chances to spot local wildlife. Kayaking and boating enthusiasts will appreciate the access to pristine waters, while those interested in Maine's rich maritime history can visit local lighthouses and maritime museums that tell the stories of the region's seafaring past.

The region is perfect for travelers seeking a slower pace of travel, those who want to immerse themselves in coastal Maine culture, and families looking to introduce children to the beauty of the Atlantic coastline. Lobster shacks and seafood restaurants throughout the area serve fresh catches, and local farmers markets offer seasonal produce and artisan goods from regional producers.

Whether you're an early riser hoping to catch the sunrise over the water, a nature enthusiast wanting to explore Maine's wilderness, or someone simply seeking the restorative qualities of ocean air and natural scenery, Deer Island Point Campground serves as a welcoming gateway to the authentic Maine coast. The combination of natural beauty, cultural experiences, and peaceful surroundings makes this location a memorable destination for RV travelers of all interests.

We were just visiting for the afternoon. The improvements and updates to the area around the lighthouse are spectacular. A huge congrats to those involved. Always do at one trip each year to D.I. Point campground.

We stayed in a wilderness site for a few days so we knew what we were going into. There was a single outhouse about 100m away from our site.

We stayed in a wilderness site for a few days so we knew what we were going into. There was a single outhouse about 100m away from our site. No electricity or potable water available but there’s a tap a short walk away for washing dishes or handwashing. They sell some smaller drinking water bottles at the shop and there are a few stores on the island that sell 4L bottles. Beautiful views on our side, lots of fun exploring to do. We could see seals and porpoises from our site and even saw a minke whale breeze by. Lots of sea birds and birds of prey, too. We enjoyed the peace and quiet away from the main campground. It was quite busy. Our composting latrine was cleaned daily and all the staff we interacted with were super friendly. Other campers on wilderness side were very friendly, too. The place could definitely use some water upgrades on the site and a few more bathrooms and showers but it’s a nice place to spend some days with family. Don’t think about swimming. The water is freezing. A quick dip then enjoy some sun on the beach. The main office has great ice cream and other snacks as well. We’ll be back!

This rustic campground is right on the ocean edge overlooking Eastport, Maine and Campobello, New Brunswick. Many sites have power but no sewer although there is a dumping station available. The prices are reasonable too. There are also some very unique un-serviced water's edge tent sites that are amazing. This campground is not pretending to be 5 star so as long as you know that, it is a nice pla...

This campground has real potential but unfortunately it’s poorly run. Right off the bat no debit and you better bring your own water cause you can’t drink the water. No washrooms all weekend they explained there was a water problem but they obviously don’t care because it was never fixed. If you’re tenting you better have a small tent because the sites have maybe 2 square feet of level ground. The... This campground has real potential but unfortunately it’s poorly run.

The most disgusting outhouses ever experienced, making a portopotty used by construction workers seem palatial! Have they ever been cleaned? An absolute disgrace. Have you been reported to health department. If not I will be happy to do you that service!
