6 Glamping/tiny houses in Maine

1. Sandy Pines: Located in Kennebunkport not far from Goose Rocks Beach, Sandy Pines offers some of the most unique glamping options in the state. From wagons to Airstreams, to lux canvas tents, Sandy Pines has it all. Although they are not directly on the water, they have a great pool, an adorable general store, and you can have kayaks/paddle boards delivered to your site so you can paddle in the estuary preserve that Sandy Pines abuts.

2. Point Sebago: Directly on Sebago Lake in Casco, Point Sebago is now offering several different glamping and tiny house options. This very family-friendly site offers glamping tents (not directly on the lake) as well as lakeside tiny houses. It feels a bit busier than other glamping options as the community is very large, but you can rent kayaks/paddle boards, there's a great swimming area, and lots of other amenities.

3. Under Canvas: Location about 40 minutes from Acadia National Park, Under Canvas, is a huge piece of land peppered with beautifully appointed canvas tents (some with water views and some without). There's a large canvas "lobby" and restaurant area offering local beer and great food, games, entertainment, etc. They offer oceanside lobster dinners and s'mores by the fire pits. The tents do not have electricity, but they offer wood stoves and external batteries to charge your phones and the lanterns they provide.

4. Red Apple Campground: This campground is in Arundel, just over the line from Kennebunk/Kennebunkport. It truly is a such quiet, clean, and relaxing campground. They offer several cute cabins to rent weekly. It's a great base if you're looking to explore Southern Maine. You can even sign up for a lobster dinner delivered to your site (they bring it to you in a vintage red truck)!

5. Huttopia: Also located in Southern Maine (Sanford), this glamping resort has a second location in the White Mountains of New Hampshire as another option. Many of the glamping options are located right on a pond where you can rent kayaks/paddleboards or bring your own. There are several choices for glamping including, mid-century modern cabins, and canvas tents. I loved that many of the options had a full bathroom inside (including some of the tents)!

6. Tiny house near Acadia: This tiny house boasts amazing views of Acadia National Park, water access to paddle, and total peace as it's tucked away all by itself. It's beautifully made (locally by Tiny Homes of Maine), super clean, and the owner left us homemade cookies when we arrived. We stayed there as a base to explore Acadia and also to head to Little Cranberry Island for dinner and the location was perfect!
