Many thanks for the follow up. I've been plotting and planning and your assistance was appreciated. We have a daughter who has property in Bangor and we planning a trip out there to visit. Want to camp along the way and Acadia seemed to get the most press. Any camping area close to Bangor not in Acadia worthy of exploring? I don't particularly care for the crowds either.Best route is 40 to 81 to 84 all the way to the Mass pike(90) use 290 to cut across to 495 and hit 95 up the coast of Maine all the way to Bangor and take 395 to route 1A into Ellsworth and route 3 down to the Island. Former Mainer for 52 years, driven this route many times over the last 10 years. Many people say to take 78 thru Allentown, Pa but I like to stay off the coast and its traffic. As to campgrounds, as a native I avoided the Island like the plague, to many people and their campers. Ellsworth can be a real mess but if you come in on 1A it is a straight shot thru town. Hang a left on route 1 and drive or another 1.5 hours and you will get to my home area. It is the real Maine but camping sites are sparse.
We took a month to just explore and enjoy. We spend a lot of time in NH about nine miles from the Maine border so we get to visit quite a bit when we’re in the neighborhood. Maine is on my top 5 list of favorite states. Maybe even top 3.Ah, you saw the real Maine. Long after its heyday. I was born in Lubec, ME.
