Christies Campground & Cottages
Overview
Situated on the serene shores of Sebasticook Lake, Christies Campground & Cottages offers a quintessential Maine getaway. This family-oriented destination combines traditional camping values with modern conveniences, providing a relaxed atmosphere for those looking to escape the hustle of daily life. Whether you are arriving in a large motorhome or looking for a cozy cottage stay, the park focuses on scenic waterfront views and a welcoming community spirit.
Location & Surroundings
Located in Newport, Maine, often referred to as the Gateway to the Maine Highlands, the park sits at a strategic junction for travelers. While it provides easy access from major routes like I-95, the campground itself feels tucked away at the edge of the water. The surrounding area is defined by lush forests and the expansive waters of the lake, creating a peaceful natural buffer that encourages outdoor exploration and quiet evenings.

- Boat launch and docks for easy lake access.
- Clean restrooms and hot showers.
- Convenient laundry facilities.
- Playground for children.
These features ensure a comfortable stay while maintaining the rustic charm of a lakeside retreat.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is Sebasticook Lake, renowned for its excellent bass fishing and boating opportunities. Beyond the water, visitors can explore the local charm of Newport or take a short drive to Bangor for shopping and dining. For those willing to venture further, the park serves as a convenient base camp for day trips to Acadia National Park or the rugged Moosehead Lake region, offering a diverse range of Maine experiences.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for active families and retirees who prioritize water access and a quiet, friendly environment. Anglers will find the proximity to the lake unbeatable, while long-haul travelers will appreciate the easy highway access paired with a scenic setting. It is a perfect fit for those who prefer a classic, low-key camping experience over the high-energy environment of a commercial resort.

I really enjoyed our stay at Christies. We got a spot for 2 nights right on the water and it was so peaceful. There are a lot of seasonal campers but the sites were all very well kept. There were a few people that were a bit loud but it was brief and way out of quiet times. I truly appreciate the owners wit and friendliness. We dont often see that. The bathrooms could use some help, especially new shower heads and showers to be cleaned better. I just loved the idea of a full size library. I put this on my return to list. Ive dreamt of owning a place just like this.

Our family has been coming to Christie's every October for 11 years now. We rent out the cabins; they are clean, cute and cozy! We take our side by side on the trails right from the campground, super convenient! The owners Bruce and Pat are exceptional and so welcoming every year. ❤️

On a Sunday the staff came and trimmed the bushes to give us a better view of the lake.

Patti and Bruce are great people. Accommodating and helpful in everyway. Cabins are clean and comfortable. Loons , beavers, ducks and turkey hanging around the place. Quiet right on the lake. I've been there 2 years in a row. Fishing is outstanding. Hunting close by. They have it all. And they make their own ice cream. Can't go wrong staying here. As long as you keep your dog close and clean up after them, they are welcome as well. These are salt of the earth people. They don't make em like Bruce and Patti anymore!!!
