Five miles north of Bar Mills, this private campground operated along the Saco River until its permanent closure. The facility accommodated RVs up to 100 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. A dump station served those needing waste disposal.
Campers found campgrounds around Bar Mills during the May through Columbus Day season. The property featured farm animals that interacted with visitors, plus a playground and river beach access. One reviewer noted the river contained leeches, while sites provided adequate spacing between neighbors. Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach operates 4.5 miles east for those seeking similar amenities in the region.
