I’ll be honest—after 26 years of travel writing, I’ve learned that you don’t need to rough it to soak up Maine’s wild beauty. If you’re like me and love starry skies, ocean air, and the hush of the forest—but still want a comfy bed and your coffee hot—then glamping in Maine is absolutely your sweet spot. You get all the nature, none of the sore backs.
What I Think You’ll Love:
- I stayed in a luxury tent nestled among pine trees, and I think you’ll love waking up to those coastal views too. Whether you choose a yurt, cabin, or safari-style tent, you’ll feel tucked into nature—with style.
- You’ll want to glamp near Acadia National Park like I did. It made sunrise hikes and ocean-cliff strolls just a short walk or drive away. You won’t miss a thing.
- I always make time to unwind by the fire pit—with cozy blankets, soft linens, and sometimes a hot tub under the stars. You should too. It’s magic.
- If you’re dreaming of lobster rolls and lighthouses, I’ve got you. I’ve savored both while sipping coffee by the water, and you’ll find those quiet mornings are worth every second.
- For me, places like Bar Harbor, Kennebunkport, and Moosehead Lake felt like peaceful pockets of the world. I think you’ll find your own kind of calm in those spots too.
