is there anyone that can recommend a great place to camp with an rv (class c) that is somewhat central coast line, like rockport or rockland? we like the booth bay area, but have generally just stayed at the tugboat inn. we're relatively new to the rv camping and are looking for recommendations on a great campground.:dontknow: looking to go during the lobster festival so wanting to book early. (early august)

I don't frequent the coast very often but can check it out for you, give me a couple of days. You are correct about booking early during the Lobster Festival, the Rockland/Rockport area will be packed. I stay away but wouldn't mind meeting up for a coffee somewhere, Rockland is only an hour from us. You bringing your Spyder?

Chuck,
You'll have to hit the Kittery Trading Post... :bowdown:
I'll have to talk to the Missus, and she if she'd cut me loose for a day; I'd "shadow you" up for a bit of the trip, and then break back toward the barn... :thumbup:

I go to maine every summer.. this will be the first time with the spyder and I am SO excited. We stay away from the coast and head up in the Lakes Region. It is western maine not far from the NH border. We stay at Vacationland Campground. There is incredible riding up there and even better riding over in NH by the White Mountains.
