Welcome to Head Beach in Phippsburg, Maine 
Head Beach Campground and Cottages is a family owned and operated vacation spot located right on the coast of Maine, at the tip of the Phippsburg peninsula. Located about 1 hour from Portland and 20 minutes from Bath, activities and entertainment are nearby. Imagine strolling the beach on a moonlit night, listening to the waves crashing along the shore and retreating to your cabin's deck, staring at the reflection on the bay. Or venturing to the sand in the morning for some quiet reading or play time, and walking back to your cabin for lunch. Then, back to the beach again! Sound like the life?
Spend some time here where we tried to provide a glimpse of the relaxing and fun times in store for you when you visit our campground at Head Beach. When you'd like more information or availability, phone or email us and we can help make your summer plans. Head Beach has been in the Wyman family since they settled here in the mid 1700’s. Originally farmers, during the 1950’s they gradually sold off their stock and equipment as they began building cottages and leasing 
land for vacation homes. The campground, built by the current owner’s parents Myron and Lynda, opened in 1965 with 19 sites. Today, there are 50 seasonal sites almost evenly split between the open field and wooded area, each with water and electrical hook up, cable and phone access, and a central dumping station.
We offer 14 rustic but comfortable 1-2 bedroom cottages. Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen and bath, automatic propane or electric heat, double beds, and a view of Casco Bay and the western horizon. The property is 300+ acres in size and includes our private sandy beach – Head Beach. Most of the property is still undeveloped and registered guests are invited to explore the trails and old tote roads. If you're quiet and attentive, you may spot feeding deer or be surprised by a flushing turkey. Even the occasional moose will wander through the area, staying just long enough for a quick picture. For the fishermen, mackerel, blue fish, pollack, and stripers are caught and lied about almost daily from shore. Soft-shell clams are abundant and easily dug from the tidal flats near the cottages, or you can wade out and pluck hen clams from the sand with your feet. From the beach looking out over Casco Bay lobster buoys dot the horizon, multicolored markers of a traditional way of life.
