Acadia National Park!
I spent 7 1/2 hours flying the coast last weekend with a friend who is a professional photographer. I haven't got his pics yet, but in the interim here are a couple of mine from Acadia National Park. Acadia is a 10 minute ride by car if you fly into the Bar Harbor Airport. The park is also easy to tour from the air.

George. I vacation mid coast Maine every year and own property on Cape Jellison. I don't think you are going to find any airports close enough to walk to a town or restaurant and courtesy cars are pretty much gone due to the high liability, ect. I can suggest flying into either Knox County Regional which is on the coast near Owls Head, an old fashioned fishing community, and renting a car, or else Ellsworth (Bar Harbor) and renting a car. Ellsworth is just outside of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. That is a must see, plenty of Lobster Pounds to choose from. Now is a good time to go. The crowds are gone and the colors shoud be starting.

small suggestion
We were just there for other reasons. Portland downtown, Commercial Ave. is full of lobster restaurants from the cheapest to pricey. KPWM is the identifier. We flew commercial so cannot comment on flying there with the RV. Doesn't look too bad on Airnav, though. Public transpo to downtown should be good and it's a short distance. The harbor area is small enough to explore on foot. You should enjoy it. Be sure the lobsters are in season.

"METRO Bus and taxi service can be accessed from the ground transportation booth outside the baggage claim. A shuttle bus service called The Portland Explorer provides access to area hotels, and to other local transportation, such as the Amtrak Downeaster train service, and The CAT high speed ferry."

Lobster in Maine
George:
The Biddeford (B19), Sanford (SFM) and Portland (PWM) airports will all put you near lobster, but none have courtesy cars. You would be able to rent cars at all of them though, and it probably wouldn't run you more than $40. A couple weeks ago I flew to Laconia, NH to attend the NASCAR race out there, and the rental car only cost about that.
As far are great lobsters go, I highly recommend Bayley's Lobster Pound in Pine Point. It's right on the water and beside a great beach to walk on. Full disclosure, they are family, but they are also the best around. The best airport for Bayley's is Biddeford (3000' of pavement).
Depending on the day you come in, I may be able to give you a ride; though I will be pretty busy this week and this coming weekend.

3B1 Greenville
Come for their annual seaplane event. It takes place at Greenville Seaplane Base 52B and there are shuttles from the airport. Number of RVs unseen in the North.
Great performance by float planes and flying boats.
Top quality food but waiting time is above average. Take Captain John with you he can get a table faster.
