Frequently Asked Questions about Lobster Buoy

At the current time, we do not offer any meals at our campground. However, during the months of July and August we sell homemade donuts and coffee at the office during the morning. We also have a small store which carries basic food items. There are two country stores within a five minute drive from us and a large grocery store in the town of Rockland. There is also an excellent lobster restaurant right down the road from us if you feel like a ten minute walk.

Currently we do not have boat rentals. We are boat friendly though, and have a small sandy launching area if you wish to bring your own small craft. We do not offer launching services so be prepared to put it into the water yourself. Use of our launching area is at your own risk. However there are paved boat launches nearby and we do rent moorings.

Yes, you can. Each of our sites has a fire ring. We do request that you bring wood that is free from nails, paints and other toxins or you can buy bundles of wood at our store. We also request that you clean up your fire ring at the end of your stay.

We feature tenting sites that are enclosed by trees as well as grassy sites for both tents and RVs. There are also many other trees scattered throughout the grounds. We try to keep the majority of our campground open so that there is a view of the ocean from each site.

Every site is within a five minute walk to the ocean. We are directly on the shore. Many of our sites feature oceanfront views. You can see the ocean from every part of our campground.

We request that children bring earphones if they bring music.
