About

For more than 30 years, Orr’s Island Campground, developed and operated by the Bond family, has been satisfying campers searching for a quiet spot with basic amenities along the Maine coast. Campers looking for a peaceful experience, surrounded by nature, can find relaxation on a serene stretch of coast with spectacular views and varied attractions. The focus is on seasonal camping -- meaning campers stay for the entire season -- which will run from May 19 to October 7 in 2012.  There is limited availability for weekly-minimum stays of one or two weeks, or one or two months.  Advance reservations are necessary.
