Buyers for Maine recreational property for camping have a wide varied definition of the word "camping".

To some they want to be in T2 R3, boil pine needles for tea, sleep under the stars, preparing food on an open fire.  Others define "camping in Maine" as satelite dish on a second home with microwave, xbox and wall to wall carpet and three baths.  What's your definition of camping in Maine? A coastal cottage on the ocean? Pitching a tent at Baxter State Park or may other parks around "Vacationland"?  Some buyers purchase raw land on a river or lake and set a travel trailer for now. 
As a Maine real estate broker, when locating recreational property for camping, you have to step back and ask the client what their idea of camping is.  Being able to bring the minivan in and power/plumbing/furnaces and all the comforts of home nails it for some.  Others want remote and rustic and view the struggle to get their by foot or jeep as what create the surroundings they are after.  One buyer indicated the harder it is to get into the camp site, the better as most others would give up and not explore the trail to see where it goes if it is rough enough! Some camps are located on remote lakes in unorganized towns where you send the property taxes directly to the state. These places require a float plane to fly in the campers for their experience and recreation!  What's your definition of "camping"? Climbing Mt Katahdin in the winter with ice pick and sleeping in a low temperature bag in a tent or open lean too at Baxter State Park ? Or summer trip to the outhouse, or taking a bar of soap and heading to the lake for scrubby dub dub and having a moose watch you clean up in the great outdoors of Maine? Find your piece of Maine!

Hi Andrew mine is a 5 star hotel for now, getting too old to enjoy the tent thing and I can camp all I like too in Wisconsin. It must get really remote in parts of Maine!

Hi Andrew - thought that getting this close to a moose wasn't a smart thing.....they have been known to charge, right?  especially when you interrupt their scrubby dub?
