The Homestead

A family homestead, open to the tide.

Gray Homestead Oceanfront Camping sits on Southport Island, on the coast of Maine — the kind of place where the ocean is never more than a short walk from your door. We're just minutes from Boothbay Harbor and all the coastal Maine activities it has to offer. We're a seasonal RV campground: no tents, no one-night stays. Just full-hookup sites for the season, a handful of weekly cottages, and a lot of people who've been coming back for years.

The Gray family has run this campground for three generations, which means the sites are cared for the way a family cares for its own backyard. Choose a spot with an open ocean view or tuck into the pines a short stroll from the water. Either way you will fall asleep to the sounds of the wind through the pines and the waves washing against the shore.

Seasonal RV Sites

Two ways to make camp for the season.

Every seasonal site — ocean view or forested — comes with full hookups: water, electric (30A or 50A), and sewer. Seasonal sites run $6,000–$13,000 plus tax for the 5-month season (May 15 through Columbus Day), with firewood on-site and laundry on-site. Returning seasonal guests may store their camper on-site for the winter (excluding oceanfront sites).

Oceanview Sites

Wide-open water right at your door. Fall asleep to the sound of waves on the shore and wake up to a Maine sunrise over the bay — many of these sites put you close enough to the water to walk to the beach in seconds.

Full hookups 30A / 50A electric Steps to the water

Forested Sites

Quiet, shaded, and tucked among the pines — a short walk from the beach with all the same full-hookup comforts. A good fit for anyone who wants a little more privacy without giving up easy ocean access.

Weekly Stays

Not ready to book the whole season?

We keep one RV site and three cottages available for weekly rentals — Saturday to Saturday. It's the easiest way to try a week of oceanfront Maine before you commit to a seasonal site of your own.

Weekly Cottages

Three cottages on the homestead property, each rented by the week, Saturday to Saturday — $1,700 plus tax. A quieter option than an RV for guests who want a roof, four walls, and the same easy walk to the water.

Every cottage comes with a fully equipped kitchen — refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker — and cabinets stocked with cookware and dining ware. Each cottage also has a Roku-equipped TV. Please bring your own bed sheets and bath towels.

See & Do

The Boothbay Harbor Region, right outside your door.

This is coastal Maine the way people picture it — lobster boats heading out at first light, buoys stacked on weathered wharves, lighthouses on the points, and quiet coves tucked between granite ledges and spruce. Boothbay Harbor is still a working waterfront, where fishing boats share the harbor with sailboats and tour boats all season long.

Spend your days on the water, walking the trails, browsing the harbor shops and galleries, or simply finding a good spot for a lobster roll. When you've had your fill, Southport Island is a peaceful place to come home to.

Gardens

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

Acres of themed gardens, sculpture, and woodland trails running down to the tidal shore — one of the region's signature destinations, with plenty to explore for all ages.

See the harbor and its islands under sail. A day sail is one of the best ways to take in the lighthouses, ledges, and working boats of the Boothbay coast.

Day Trips

Make the Homestead your home base.

The Boothbay Harbor Region sits in the middle of Maine's Midcoast, within reach of a variety of day trip adventures. Head further up the coast to classic harbor towns, seek out lighthouses and rocky points, head northwest into the forested mountains and lakes, or spend a day exploring Maine's cities, shops, and museums — then come back to the quiet of Southport Island for the evening.
