The town of Camden nestles beneath the Camden hills, which rise almost 1400 feet above the harbor. This popular yachting center is home for many of the famous fleet of Maine Windjammers which offer weekly trips along the Maine coast. It's also a must stop for private yachters as they tour Penobscot Bay. It becomes the home port for several races throughout the summer, including the annual Camden-Castine Race. During these events, as the boats head home toward the Camden Yacht Club, they raise their spinnakers and create an exciting parade of color.

Just north of town along Route One, Camden Hills State Park spreads across 5,000 acres at the foot of Mount Battie. A paved road ascends from the campground to Mount Battie's 900-foot summit, which offers wonderful panoramic views of Penobscot Bay, near-by towns and the rolling inland countryside.

Not far from the center of town is the Camden Snow Bowl our local winter sports recreation area making Camden Maine a wonderful spot for a weekend in the country. Enjoy spectacular ocean views from the mountain as you participate in skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, tubing, skating or cross country skiing at the Camden Bed and Breakfast. There is also a mountain biking trail as well as hiking in the summer.

Just 3 blocks from the Inns is Camden harbor with historic Maine Sailing Schooners waiting to take you aboard for a sail. Walk to Camden's fine restaurants featuring local specialties, and of course, lobster! Along the streets of Camden, fine clothing boutiques, gift and book stores, hand-craft shops and galleries can keep anyone busy for hours just browsing. Some feature local acclaimed artisans.
