Paddlers, anglers, and swimmers have direct access to Sebago Lake from this state park campground in Naples, Maine, and that lake access is consistently what draws campers back. Sebago is large and clean, with sandy beach areas attached to the campground that tend to see less foot traffic than the main park beaches. A trailered boat launch makes it easy to get out on the water, and the Songo Locks allow boaters to travel upriver all the way to Long Lake. Fishing runs from bass to landlocked salmon, and kayak launches are straightforward from multiple points along the shoreline.
Sites are wooded and mostly flat, but space between neighbors is limited. Several reviewers note that sites can feel stacked on top of each other, with some fire pits only 15 feet from the next site over. Campers who prefer more room tend to favor the Naples Beach end of the campground, which reviewers describe as somewhat quieter. The campground draws families in particular, with children active throughout, so those expecting a low-key atmosphere should plan accordingly. As dylan puts it: "Don't expect peace and quiet."
Facilities hold up well under the volume of use. Bathrooms and showers receive consistent marks for cleanliness across multiple seasons. Full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, are available at select sites for RVs up to 35 feet, though hookup sites are limited relative to total capacity. A dump station is on-site. Pets are not permitted in the campground, though they are allowed on leash in the day-use areas.
Reservations open in February, earlier than most Maine state park campgrounds, and non-Maine residents pay a higher nightly rate in the $25 to $30 range. Mid-week stays in shoulder season offer the best chance at a larger, less-crowded site. Rebecca L. notes that scoring a site "mid week just before the 4th of July" left many neighboring spots empty, a rarity by her account. Nearby alternatives include Naples KOA Holiday and Loon's Haven Family Campground for campers who want campgrounds around Naples with more elbow room between sites.
Sebago Lake State Park Campground works best for lake-focused trips where proximity to the water outweighs the desire for site seclusion.
Description
Opened to the public in 1938, Sebago Lake State park camping was one of the five original state parks of America. Nestled near the foothills of the White Mountains the park’s 1,400 acres of vast woodlands, sandy beaches, vibrant ponds, and deep emerald bogs inspire wonder and awe. A windy river snakes through one of the oldest historical locks in the region; while surrounding miles of expansive land create diverse habitats for a variety of plant and wildlife.
Sebago Lake was carved by ancient rivers and Ice Age Glacier fallout. The now filled granite basin provides recreation and watersport activities to thousands every year. The region is an impressive feat of scenery, boasting dense forests of pine, aspen, and birchwood. A multitude of these directly touch the shore of Maine’s deepest and second largest lake.
Subsequently, Sebago Lake Campground provides year-round camping and recreation to thousands. There are a number of popular activities, including lake (and river) swimming, sport fishing, camping, and even boating. The summer is especially busy thanks to the variety of large trees creating an abundance of breezy, shaded areas to escape the heat and hide the perfect makeshift rope swing.
Unique to this area is the historic Songo Lock, the last surviving lock of Cumberland and Oxford Canal, built in the 19th century. It can be found directly on the Songo River, just above the intersection of Crooked River and the Northern End of Sebago Lake State Park in the town of Naples. The lock was built in 1830, featuring granite walls with real wooden control gates to control water levels. Other locks have since been updated, however this has been preserved for its historical relevance.
Camping here provides the right environment for romantic nights under the stars, and misty mornings on the lake. There are 250 campsites available year-round, although tent camping here in the winter will get pretty chilly. That said, cross country skiing and distance snowshoeing are extremely popular winter activities. The campground also has good park service, various group picnic shelters, a fully functional playground, RV dumping station, and a limited amount of RV hookups for electric and water. There are even showers with working hot water, and facilities nearby for laundry.
Don’t skip out on Lake Sebago State Park. It’s a blast for anyone willing to put themselves through the effort of packing the car up and getting out there. There’s a ton to do, with giddy feelings and laughs around the campfire. The region is well maintained, with all the benefits of a beachside resort without the expensive costs. If you don’t mind paving your own fun, you’ll be rewarded exponentially on the shores of Lake Sebago.
