Camden, Maine is proud to call itself the "Jewel of the Coast." A beautiful seaport town with a harbor full of sail boats, Camden has been used as the setting for so many movies, from Carousel to Peyton Place, that it is what many people think of when they think of New England. With a series of annual festivals running all year round, including the US Toboggan Championships, the Summer HarborArts Juried Arts & Craft Show and Windjammer Weekend, there is always something to do in Camden.

I was so excited to "window" shop in the gorgeous store. If you like fibers, you will be in heaven. Because of the covid-19 , it was an unusual style of shopping but Misty, the owner could not have been more helpful. Her choices were endless! She was so interested, enthusiastic and pleasant. I would drive two hours again just to go to this yarn experience!

Travel back in time to an old-fashioned specialty candy store, stocked with candy many haven't seen in years and with other kinds of candy that most people don't even know exist. Uncle Willy's Candy Shoppe offers a wide variety of classic candy favorites: gourmet chocolates, fudge, brittles, "penny" candy, licorice, gummies, novelties, and many famous brands that you know and love. Come see our 12 foot long Jelly Belly wall at our Camden location!
If they don’t have it, it probably doesn’t exist, two floors of every type of candy imaginable including many from your childhood! Great fudge, chocolates, jelly beans, gummy bears, licorice, and more! Don’t miss this treasure a little further down the street!

wonderful store and knowledgeable staff. purchased a Wick Ahrens whale sculpture and a Jim Keefer decoy. We came back on our next trip in from ohio for another Jim Keefer decoy and the shop owner was able to arange a visit with Jim at his home and studio, what a special treat and day that was. Purchased our second decoy. We know Jim and Wick have since passed, but are still interested in their art. I also noticed on your web page what seems to be photos of Earl Martz sculptures. We are also fortunate to own two of his pieces. If you have any of their work available please let me know. thank you for a wonderful store . Worth the trip to Maine all by itself. Sincerely David ps.I put in March 2019 for the visit but it was afew years before.

A library that was open during the pandemic! It was like an oasis.Camden's library is on a spot overlooking the harbor, with some amazing outdoor space. What you think is a gazebo or maybe a Tardis, turns out to be a window into the reference room. On the other side of the building is the outdoor amphitheater. It's not hosting any shows or concerts this summer, but is a beautiful shady spot to rest and read.

Historic downtown venue presents live music, films, theater, dance and more, year-round. Originally opened in 1894 and restored to Victorian glory a hundred years later, the Camden Opera House is the go-to for all kinds of entertainment, as well as the annual Camden Conference.
The opera house is an expansive building in Camden holding more than just the opera auditorium. This building has an interesting history and is worth walking around.

The Smiling Cow is a 80 year old family owned gift store located in the scenic coastal community of Camden, Maine. This Camden landmark is located atop the Megunticook River as it spills into the Penobscot Bay providing their customers with a priceless view from their back deck. A wide variety of gifts are available from Maine Maple syrup and home made fudge to clothing and jewelry made in Maine. We have shortened hours this summer in response to the Covid 19 epidemic. We are following all CDC guidelines. Masks ARE required as is social distancing and limited numbers of customers at one time. We currently are open 10 am to 4 pm and expect to expand hours in July.
We always make a point to get into the Smiling Cow when visiting Camden. Every year there are new and exciting items while maintaining the classics that always remind us of Maine. From souvenirs to unique gifts...this is a great family run business that’s fun for the whole family!
