We are gonna take our '85 Westy up to coastal Maine next weekend and would like some reccomendations as to off-beat places to camp. We will be in the mid-coast region (Portland and surrounds)...any suggestions are appreciated. As a sideline to the postings about Roy O's trip report and Leon's response to it... We too had an experience where we were the object of rifle fire. While camping in our '78 Transporter along West Virginia's Dry Fork River we were approached by a group of monster-truck driving-gun-slinging-inbreds who yelled "better git offin our campin spot ya buncha hippies" and fired shots AT us. My family is from this area and I take offense to this...our van was clean and in no way gave the idea that we were "hippies"...but they had guns after all...so we split. Best off anyway, cuz as we were packing up a group of bikers came with another group of folks in a Chevy van...drunk...set up camp and buried something (someone?) right along the side of the river.Makes kamping at those big theme-park setups look kinda inviting. Anybody had any experience with campgrounds NOT accepting Vanagons for any reason? I know some of them can be fussy about their clientele. Anyway..hope someone has a good camping suggestion in Maine. Thanks! Tracey '85 Westy
