Cobscook Bay State Park -- Monday August 5, 2013

It was only a three hour ride to get up to Cobscook Bay State Park from Acadia.  Cobscook Bay State Park is a state park, surrounded by the salt waters of Cobscook Bay, and located four miles south of Dennysville, Maine. The park contains 888 acres of land and provides magnificent views of the ebb and flow of the tides. It's right up Rt 1 and there is very little traffic as you head north.

We have come to Cobscook four times since we've been retired.  We were able to reserve our favorite spot here--site 29.  Three times we've been able to get this site. It's in a little alcove all on it's own so you have complete privacy.  It's literally the most quiet place we have ever been.  I always say being here is like having cotton in your ears.

We especially like this site for Monty.  No need to have him on a leash so he has free rein to chase balls and lay quietly in the sun. It's also open to the water.  No real shade but we do have our awning and screen house so that's not really a requirement.

The park itself has nothing....no electricity, no lights.  It has pit toilets in each area of the campground but does have showers in a central location near the entrance.

Weather turns a little stormy for our first night but the double rainbow more then made up for the showers!  And the forecast is for a sunny few days.


As it turned out, it was sunny for one day and then rainy for two consecutive days.  Not the best we've ever had in this location. Ed has been able to go bike riding and kayaking, though, so not all is lost.
