We are homeported in Camden, Maine, at the head of the harbor, off Atlantic Avenue.
Driving Directions: (Note: Exits on I-95 have recently been renumbered; older road maps may not show these new exit numbers.) Take I-95 North to 295 N past Portland to exit 28 for Rt 1 North. Follow Rt 1 North for about an hour through Bath, Wiscasset, Waldoboro, into Warren where you will see Rt 90 on your left. This road bypasses Rockland and spits you out onto Rt 1 just South of Camden. (If you want to drive through Rockland, just remain on Rt 1.) Turn Left onto Rt 1 North. You will drive directly through downtown Camden and up a slight hill to dins Atlantic Avenue on your right. Take this and park anywhere along this road. The French is docked at the bottom of the park on your right at the head of the harbor. If you can find the water, you can find the French because Camden Harbor is not that big. We'll help you get settled into your cabin and give an orientation.
Alternate Driving Directions: If you want to bypass Rt 1 and the possible traffic jams, remain on I-95 North to Augusta and take exit 30(??) for Rt 17 East. Follow the signs closely through the rotaries. They can be confusing, yet fun. Stay on Rt 17 all the way to Rockport, to the traffic light at Rt 90. Turn Left onto Rt 90 and proceed to the traffic light at Rt 1. Turn Left on Rt 1 North and follow the same course as above into Camden to Atlantic Avenue. Mileage on this alternate route is longer, but driving time may be quicker.
Driving in from the West (NH, VT, NY, or Canada): Countless smaller roads can get you here from there, and driving times will vary wildly. The easiest way to Camden is to take the nearest major highway from you to I 95, even if it means going South and coming back up into Maine on I 95 North.
Airports: I would suggest flying into Boston or Portland. Boston has a nice bus (Concord Trailways 1-800-639-3317) that can pick you up at any terminal at Logan and bring you right to Camden. Midcoast Limosine (1-800-937-2424) can give you roundtrip service from Portland Jetport right to our Camden dock. Other airport options are Rockland, ME, from which you would need to rent a car or take a taxi to get to Camden. (Schooner Bay Limo, 1-207-596-5000) You can also fly into Bangor, Maine, and take a shuttle (1-888-828-6278) or Manchester, New Hampshire, but you'll have to rent a car. We offer free, secure parking. If this seems confusing, give us a call and we can help you figure out the details.
