Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Please note: No UNATTENDED long-term parking, as signposted.
This is a great spot to dry camp 365 days a year. While not advertised by LL Bean, you are allowed to camp overnight in their designated RV Parking Lot. No need to ask permission, just find a spot. If full then try the parking lot on the other side of the street next to the railroad tracks. We camp in our camper-van here 3 or 4 times a years, even in the winter months next to the grassy area behind the church where there is a level spot (ours is the red Winnebago Travato). LL Bean is open 24/7/365 so always have access to toilets and stock up on camping gear. There are a few local restaurants, Starbucks and McDonalds all within walking distance. As you exit I-295 there is a gas station on your left, and a Shaws Supermarket on Main Street on the left just after the traffic light. The lot is large enough to accommodate big rigs. It is generally quiet, and Amtrack only uses the railway a few times a day and not at night.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
