Dixons Coastal Maine Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Quiet hours extend to 8am at Dixons Coastal Maine Campground, a detail that sets the tone for this large, well-maintained property in Cape Neddick. Sites vary considerably in character: some sit beneath tree cover, others open onto a field, and a handful are tucked into lower ground that at least one reviewer found prone to mosquitoes. Rocky substrate is common across the property, so tent campers should plan accordingly with a sleep pad and ground cloth.

The campground runs a tight operation. The pool and bathrooms draw consistent praise for cleanliness across multiple reviews, and the showers, coin-operated at 50 cents for five minutes, deliver reliable hot water. Katrina M. also notes "there is even hot water to wash your dishes next to the bathrooms," a small convenience worth knowing about. Staff escort new arrivals to their sites and assist with parking, though check-in has drawn mixed feedback on tone. The camp store carries basics like milk, bacon, and ice, and firewood runs $7 a bundle.

Full hookups are available for RVs up to 40 feet, alongside tent-only and yurt options, giving the campground a range of accommodation types. A security card system controls access to the grounds, with a $10 deposit required at check-in. Nearby campgrounds like Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground and York Beach Camper Park provide alternatives if this property is full during peak summer weeks. Dixons runs from mid-May through late September, making it a workable base for exploring the York County coastline.

Dixons campground

This is a nice smaller campground, nice clean bathrooms, friendly staff. The location to the coastal beaches of York, Wells, Agunquit and Kennebunkport is the main reason we stayed here. It’s one of our favorite locations in Maine and we will definitely stay here again.

Clean, quiet, friendly and helpful staff

We've been there twice and have reservations for next year. Some sites are in the woods, some are in the field. The pool and restrooms are spotless. There are yurts, power and water available, plus tent-only sites. Highly recommended.

Short stay, good experience

This was a waypoint for our trip to Deer Isle. Our plan was to spend two nights for a rest from driving. The day spent here was to wander along the coast and bask in the sea air. So this was a pretty good campground for that purpose. We were here the very end of August on a Monday and there were very few campers. This is an old style campground where they escort you to your site and help get you in if you need help. It is family oriented with playgrounds and a pool. Pet friendly, quiet when we were there. It is not far from Ogunquit and Cape Neddick. The facilities appeared clean and functional, we did not use them though, we had water and electric hookups. The site we were on did not have much privacy but many others did. There are sites with trees over head as well. Don’t miss Nubble Light House and Fox’s Lobster house. Around the corner is a great Ice Cream shop.

Clean But….

When we first arrived we came from Acadia and we pulled in almost immediately the lady at the front desk yelled at us to back up. There was not a place to back up or park without blocking the whole entrance while checking in. Check in girls could have been nicer - felt like they were pretty rude.

The campground was nice. And the showers were very clean and good water pressure - they were $.50 a shower but worth it!

Pick another Spot

This campground is over priced. The sites are very close together and are stone dust. The lower portion of the campground is located in a swamp. The mosquitos were relentless. Very small and dirty coin operated showers. I would not stay at this campground again for love or money.

Cute and clean

This is a cute little place-good for tents and smaller campers, though there are some “field” sites. Pool available; short drive to beach . Will visit again!

LOTS of people but lovely campground

This is an extremely large campground. It seems that most of them on the coast of Maine are. We didn't get a very good sight, but the person who answered the phone basically told us that when we called and it was all they had, so I can't say too much about that either (#17). The sight was small and between the two driveways. All of the sights seem to have rocky ground, so I recommend a sleep pad and a footprint for your tent so you don't rip the bottom.

Now, on to the other stuff. There is a small playground that is weathered but in decent shape. The pool is lovely and meticulously kept. The grounds, bathrooms and showers are spotless. It's 50 cents for 5 minutes to take a shower (unheard of) with hot water. There is even hot water to wash your dishes next to the bathrooms.

They sell ice, wood ($7) and many "I forgots" in the store (bacon, milk, etc...). They give you a security card to get into the grounds ($10 deposit). The campground was SUPER quiet and quiet hours go to 8am (thank you)! Only an RV about to leave made a ton of noise at 7.

I would go there again. It was a safe place close to so many things. The beach and everything else is VERY close but not so close as to be annoying.... 5 minutes at most.
