Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground

Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground sits directly on the Maine coast, where campers can pitch tents within 50 feet of the water. The campground operates with a "No Vacancy" sign posted most of the time, requiring visitors to stop and inquire about availability rather than relying on advance reservations. Sites are small and positioned close together, with seasonal RV campers occupying the prime waterfront locations in setups that function more like cottages than traditional camping rigs.

The facility caters to tent campers and those with minimal gear, as the compact sites don't accommodate large setups well. A simple bathhouse provides flush toilets and showers that evelyn confirms are "clean." Electric hookups serve the seasonal RV residents, while tent campers rely on the basic amenities. The campground operates on a cash-only basis and maintains strict no-pet policies.

Campers use this location as a base for exploring Route 1 attractions, with York Beach offering restaurants and shops. The area provides access to hiking opportunities and swimming in the Atlantic, though the water temperature remains cold year-round. A restaurant across the street shares the same ownership as the campground, providing convenient dining without leaving the immediate area.

For those seeking more amenities or family-oriented facilities, York Beach Camper Park offers a different camping experience nearby.

Two week stay

Read reviews on google. That’s the experience we had. The signs no everything. Cash only. The management is very weird acting and riding around on a bicycle. I feel so weird making this review because this place is odd . The tenants are fun and the scenery is great. But but but you’ve been warned. Turn your blue tooth off and your WiFi so that your cellphone privacy is protected.

Right on the Water

I love this campground for one simple reason- the location. It is right on the water, and it's just beautiful. That said, this place isn't for everyone, and it's hard to get into. They pretty much keep a "No Vacancy" sign out all the time, you really need to stop and ask if there is anything available. Both times we have shown up without a reservation and for just one night, and both times we've lucked out. The last time we got a spot 50 feet from the water, and for me, there is nothing better. Also, it's tents only (and the less gear you have, the better, the sites are small and close together). The RV campers who are there are seasonal with the types of set-ups that are more cottage than camper. Those folks also have all the best sites. This is not a "resort" or "family campground." There are no activities, no fancy amenities, no pool (who needs a pool when you have the ocean?), no real camp store. What there is is a bunch of friendly people who stay there all summer enjoying some of the best scenery in Maine. There's a simple, small bath house with a couple of showers and flush toilets. It's rustic but clean. There's a great restaurant across the street that is owned by the same folks who own the campground. This is a great home base if you plan to travel Rt 1 up to LL Bean passing by great places like Ogunquit and Wells, or back to Kittery. York is wonderful with lots of stores and good food, and even a small "mountain" to hike or drive up for gorgeous views. If you are a "camper's camper," you'll love it. And if you love to swim in freezing cold ocean water, you'll love it even more.

Beautiful sceneryby the ocean and river and everyone is super friendly and generous

The campground is set right on the ocean but you’re still in the forest. Everyone is really friendly at the camp and in town. Showers and toilets are clean. 10/10 experience.
