RV inland to Greenville, the gateway to Moosehead Lake, in the center of the North Woods to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the peace and beauty of Maine camping.

The capitol of Maine is Augusta. The State House is a beautiful building with a very long history. The building was originally constructed between 1829 and 1832. Since then the building has undergone multiple additions and remodels that have served to provide a more workable building and a masterpiece of architecture. The city of Augusta is home to the Maine State Museum which has exhibits that cover the history of Maine from the Paleo Indians and the wooly mammoths to present day. Probably one of the best attractions of Augusta is the Pine Tree State Arboretum. It has six miles of trails on which to hike and jog. Some of the trails are hard packed and wheel chair accessible. This would be a wonderful place to plan a picnic away from the city. Augusta would be an enjoyable area to include in your RV Maine itinerary.
The South Coast of Maine has some of the most enchanting beaches imaginable. The sandy beaches beside the beautiful blue Atlantic have swimming and lifeguards on duty from late June to Labor Day at most. Some of the beaches have designated areas for surfing but most have gentle surf.
