Travel & Stay

Hampden is about 10 mins down river from Bangor where there are plenty of hotels!

The Bangor International Airport is a 15 min drive away and definitely the most convenient option.

Portland tends to have cheaper tickets, but is about a 2-hour drive. For those who haven’t been, it’s worth visiting!
