Free
Acadia Seashore Campground • Sullivan, Maine • August 12-19, 2019
Come spend a summer week on Maine’s scenic coast with your fellow Escapees at the Downeast Maine Hangout! (SOLD OUT; join the waiting list)
Acadia National Park, lumberjacks, blueberries and more...
Our Hangout campground is just 30 minutes from Acadia National Park, the “Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast.” We’ll explore some of Acadia’s seven 1,000+ foot high peaks, 158 miles of hiking trails, and 45 miles of carriage roads with 16 stone bridges. Opportunities for stunning photos are abundant among the park’s picturesque rocky headlands, the highest along the Atlantic coastline of the United States.
The Hangout will include a visit to the Fort Knox Historic Site and Penobscot Narrows Bridge & Observatory. The Observatory is the tallest bridge observatory open to the public in the world, where we’ll ride up 420′ feet for breathtaking 360 degree views of the Penobscot Bay area. We’ll also explore Bar Harbor and enjoy Timber Tina’s Great Maine Lumberjack Show, featuring axe throwing, log rolling, pole climbing, and other events demonstrating the skills of Maine’s lumberjacks and jills.

Our home base for the Downeast Maine Hangout will be the Acadia Seashore Campground in Sullivan, Maine, just east of Bar Harbor.
