We were there for a very short time on the recommendation of a shop owner in Camden. We drove to the top of the mountain and were able to see Camden from above and all the way to Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. Very beautiful. Glad we took the time to go. Don't miss Camden. A very beautiful town,... More

Penobscot Bay is incredible and this is a great place to see it from. I have lived in Camden for many years and still find it a treat to drive up to the lookout More

Got a warm March day to hike Mt. Megunticook. It was a perfect day and a perfect hike. The trail was challenging but not too rigorous. The reward was a beautiful view of Camden and the sea from a lookout point near the top of the mountain . A great spot to eat lunch. The trail map showed a lot... More

Alot of room fot the family to run around, the kids will love it. You have to pay per person to go up the mountail, but it is worth it. You can hike up if you like but you better be ready for a LONG walk. There is a camp ground at the bottom, and the ocean across the street,... More

Haven't camped there so can't rate the facilities. But there is an extensive hiking trail network, including Mt Battie and Mt. Megunticook, and on the other side, the Maiden Cliffs trail. All these go through interesting habitat (blueberries in season!) and have views of Penobscot bay More

The Camden Hills are one of Camden's secrets. Most people know Camden for it's sailing and the town but the hiking in the Camden Hills is exceptional. The view from the top of Mount Battie has inspired poets and photographers for centuries. Bald Rock and Maiden's Cliff have beautiful views as well. I highly recommend the Camden Hills State Park...
