All Purpose Storage
Gated self-storage on Bangor Road with outdoor RV and boat parking, plus climate-controlled units.
Ellsworth sits at the crossroads of Downeast Maine, and if you keep an RV around here you already know the parking math gets tight. Two car and vehicle storage facilities serve the city itself, with seven more a short drive out. The local average rating runs 4.8, and one facility offers 24/7 gate access. That matters when you roll back into town late after a weekend on the coast.

The two facilities in Ellsworth cover the basics well. All Purpose Storage handles outdoor, boat and vehicle parking and carries a 4.6 from 94 reviews, so plenty of people have kicked the tires on it. Self-Storage at U-Haul is the indoor option, rated 5.0 on a handful of reviews, with outdoor and vehicle space too. Between them you get indoor, outdoor and boat storage, which is a workable spread for a town this size. Book early in spring. Downeast summers bring the seasonal crowd through, and covered space is the first thing to go. Ask about gate hours before you sign, especially if you tow after dark.
Indoor storage costs more and earns it in Maine. Snow load, ice, and a long winter of freeze and thaw are hard on seals, roofs and gelcoat. If your rig sits outside, plan on a cover that breathes and a good wash before the first freeze. Pull the batteries and put them on a maintainer instead of letting them drain dead in the cold. Check that the facility has cameras and a locked gate, and confirm your RV insurance covers the unit while it is stored. Boat owners should ask whether the facility allows a trailer to stay parked with the hull.
This is a good base for the kind of trips that make owning an RV worthwhile. Acadia National Park is close enough for a day run to the loop road, and the Schoodic Peninsula gives you the quieter side of the same coastline. Heading west, Bangor has the bigger stores and service shops if you need parts or a repair you cannot get locally. Inland lakes and the Downeast towns along Route 1 fill up fast in summer, so reserve your campsite before you reserve your storage. A short drive to the coast also means salt air, and that means rinsing the underside of the rig now and then.
There are 2 facilities in Ellsworth, with another 7 nearby if you widen the search. That gives you a reasonable set of choices for a small city, though indoor space is limited to one facility, so call ahead in spring.
Yes. One of the two facilities offers indoor storage, Self-Storage at U-Haul, and it is rated 5.0. The other covers outdoor, boat and vehicle parking. If you want your rig out of the weather, indoor is the one to call first.
Rates are set by each facility, so ask for a quote based on your rig's length and whether you want indoor or outdoor space. Prices usually climb for covered or indoor spots, and longer rigs can cost more than short ones. Get the monthly figure in writing before you commit.
Confirm gate hours, camera coverage and whether the lot is fenced. Winterize the plumbing, pull the batteries, and cover the rig with something breathable. Check that your insurance still applies while it sits in storage, and ask whether you can get to the unit after a snowstorm.
