The Best Camping Near Pownal, Maine

Easy to get too and close to everything from shopping to the beach.

The campground is fantastic. Easy access, huge sites, very well maintained.

This was my favorite campground last summer. This campground is relatively quiet. It is in the country but very close to stores. The owners are very nice. I will definitely go back again. There are so many campsites. They have a nice store with a variety of items.

Nice campground

We love the place this campground has a little bit for everybody there has a mini kid park and a pool ,they have wooded area plus they also have an open areas to camp ,always seems to be quiet well mannered Place ,staff is excellent to work with

Quite place 

I have a love– hate relationship with KOA campgrounds. They tend to be overpriced and not consistent. You will find one that has nice sites at a decent price. Then, there are the others which are complete opposite. This KOA is on my good side.  There are lots of site choices, cabins, yurts, and tent sites to choose from.  The location is good as it is about 10-15 minutes far from the town of Freeport(home to L.L. Bean and tons of outlet stores), the pretty coastal town of South Freeport, four craft breweries and a cidery, and Bradbury Mountain State Park. The owners and work campers are very friendly and the super welcoming. Normally I am not concerned how nice people are but they go out of their way to make sure you get all the discounts you can and put you in a site that you prefer. 

We have stayed here a few times and are always impressed how well-cared for the grounds are and how and clean the common areas, bathrooms, and pool are. The grass is always cut, weeds trimmed, fire pits cleaned and there is no trash lying on the ground. There are lots of seasonal sites but they are in the back portion of the park with the transients being in the front. The park has nice super long 50 amp FHU pull-thrus in the front of the park which will fit any length RV and tow vehicle. Some of these sites are “buddy” sites with a shared patio, but are so wide that even if you don’t know your neighbors, it would not be a bother because you are far enough apart. The only downside to these pull thrus is there is no shade. We tend to be there in cooler months so shade is not a problem. However, the rest of the campground has a very park-like feel with over 50 acres there is plenty of room to roam and even a short nature trail through a wooded area. Many sites backup against the woods or are in wooded areas so keep that in mind when making your reservation. We give this park two thumbs up for their dog park which is ten times the size of the average KOA dog park. My lab had plenty of room to run and chase a ball and there were never any other dogs there which was nice. Plus, it was clean and free of dog poop! Normally, there are plenty of activities like s’mores by the fire, crafts, pony rides (yes, they have their own ponies on site), ice cream social, hay rides but this year they were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We don’t use those amenities anyway so that wasn’t a problem but can see that would be fun activities for kids. We were in a buddy sites with our friends and liked the shared patio. Since we were in the open area, we were able to get both satellite with our roof-mounted dome and some over-the-air channels from Portland which is about 45 minutes away. All of our hook-ups were in an accessible place but we were also in a long pull thru and could position the RV in the site accordingly. 

Some of the cons for this park are the lack of cable, so-so wifi, and the dusty gravel roads and pot holes. There are a few restrooms buildings scattered around the park which may not be close depending on what site you are in.

Good Location, Clean, Lots of Camping Options

Kid and pet friendly. Lots of activities for kids including a flashlight candy hunt, water slide, and s’more roast. We’ve been coming back for years and the addition of a glamping tent, cabins, and domes have made it even nicer!

Great spot, great hosts

This visit we had our hybrid camper in one of the wooded sites. The Halloween celebration is really well done- campers decorate their sites, there is an in-costume parade, and the central, bigger rigs are set up for trick or treating. The haunted house is scary enough that I waited by the exit! (This part is NOT for the little kids). 
The campground fills up for this event so make reservations early. 


Halloween!

Very low key relaxed place. Facilities are new and clean! 
Staff is friendly and accommodating. Campsites are large. Full hook ups. Pool is clean and well maintained. 

Awesome place!

Pro’s:
- spacious, shady campgrounds (take a back-in site)
- quite and relaxing 
- lots of entertainment and activities for all
- large leash free dog zone
Con’s:
- bad WiFi and poor Verizon reception 
- laundry room was not operational (mid July! 🤨)
- still 45 minutes from touristic sites (Portland, lighthouse)

Boston/Cape Cod KOA Holiday

This is a cute little KOA with lots of things for smaller kids to do. 
We visited during their Halloween weekend. They had costume making and trick or treating for kids (bring candy) and a renaissance fair/party for adults. 
There is a pool with slide, a playground, a basketball hoop, a disc golf net. They have hayrides and a nightly train ride for younger visitors. 

WiFi and cell service are both spotty.
