Camden, Maine (pop. 5,254)

 

The town of Camden was the setting for the 1957 film Peyton Place.  It’s very quaint but also touristy and really congested with traffic as US 1 passes through the downtown and there is no bypass route for truck traffic.

 

The weather wasn't very cooperative during my visit, so the quality of the photos is not optimal.

Cute town! Thanks for the photos.

Tastefully charming, and cascading water is a big plus in any town.

Camden, Maine looks much nicer than Camden, New Jersey.

sweet! but please tell me you went up the mountain to the overlook. It makes me misty both times I have been. If you missed it, you must go back, it is not to be missed.

What doesn't look better than Camden, NJ?

Quaint!

That good 'ole small town, New England charm.

Sorry but we had lots of fog and mist the day we went up to Camden, and I don't know how scenic it would have been - I'll definitely pencil it in for 2011.  We stay in Tenants Harbor about a half hour down the St. George peninsula, but Camden is a mandatory trip every time due to Maine Sport Outfitters (www.mainesport.com) and Reny's (www.renys.com).

much better than both the london, england and new jersey camden's!

Beautiful!
