About Us

We met when we were teenagers and went on many road trips together, mainly to follow the Grateful Dead.  Our love of music brought us to destinations all over the country.  One of our earliest tent camping adventures involved the Grateful Dead, a flash flood and the National Guard.

As adults, we settled in the greater Portland area.  We love this city with its music, art and foodie scene. We enjoy spending time along the Maine coast and we’re happiest when we are camping close to the water whether ocean or lakeside.

We purchased a 1996 Ford Coachmen Campervan at the end of 2020. We are so excited about this new chapter and look forward to sharing our experiences with you here at Camp Like a Mainer.  We want to inspire you to get outdoors and enjoy everything Maine has to offer!
