Weekend on the Water

Camped right on the Saco River on Beach 2. it’s absolutely beautiful. Definitely not a place for young kids because there’s a lot of partying on the beaches. Lots of fun & can’t wait to go back.

Yay Fryeburg!

Great camping spot with wonderful sites with water views. Nicely spaced out which I find important. Clean, friendly caretakers and close to town for quick last minute needs.

Best for Party People and young folk

Great campground. Middle of the woods, on the Saco river, with all your friends, no electricity, off your phone and enjoying the moment. Best for College kids and partiers between mid July & early August. Never a dull moment

Riverfront campground for riverfront tubing

This campground is really just mean to house people who plan to tube or boat down the Saco river. They have fire pits but there are not bathrooms only portopotties. There is a camp store. Most of the patrons are younger and are drinking most of the time, but that’s what it’s meant to be. Very basic campground.
