Motorcycle Bars & Camping in Maine
- Ask anyone in Southern Maine about biker bars and camping, and they'll tell you about Bentley's on Route 1 in Arundel. This isn't a "rough crowd" motorcycle club type of place, though everyone is welcome; it's more of a place for riding clubs or anyone who is a fan of motorcycles. The campgrounds are clean and affordable, and there's a pig roast every Saturday. Bentley's is closed for the off-season (November through March).

The Solon Hotel and Bar is biker owned and operated. Not only biker friendly, this spot was written up in Esquire by a nonbiker who suggested visitors should take care not to offend other patrons. See Resources for advice on proper etiquette for interacting with real bikers. The first floor bar has nightly happy hours and entertainment on the weekends. One reviewer on Tripadvisor.com notes, "They have fresh meat and seafood, sandwiches, pizza and just about anything you need from sewing kits to ammo."
