While vacationing in Maine, plan to spend some time in the Camden Maine area. This part of the Maine coast is characterized by rocky shorelines and hilly mountains that overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Camden is located on Penobscot Bay and is known for its picturesque New England small town setting. Camden provides scenic vistas that has to be seen to be believed especially if you travel to the top of the 900-foot summit of Mount Battie in Camden Hills State Park. This seaside village was once home to fishermen and a working waterfront. Today restaurants, cafes, craft shops, galleries, and similar novelty attractions make up most of the downtown real estate in Camden. In the summer high season (July and August) parking can be hard to find.
