Best Glamping near Andover, ME

This is a glamping campground and so much going on for kidd and adults. The pond is amazing. The store is huge! The sites are huge! We always get the same HHK. But they offer everything from a basic site to cottages. Nightly events for adults kids and family. Kayak/canoe rentals an anzing beach. Guided hikes. If you bring yoyr own kayaks there is a ruver with a take out close to the campground. U could walk back or drive in with a truck for pick up! This place is amazing! Will continue to go every year!

We stayed in the MainelyGlamping Camper Glamper which is a mobile glamping unit for hire. It was Memorial Day Weekend and we had a three night night stay. We loved the campground and it is great for our eight year old daughter who can safely ride her bike around with the other kids at the campground, enjoy the beach and enjoy the playground, but it still provides my husband and I with some relaxing/peaceful time together in the woods or sitting on the beach. We had two paddleboards which are add-ons with the MainelyGlamping package and we spent some time on one of the calm clear mornings paddling around the lake which was amazing.

We did the yurt for 2 nights. Man was it amazing. The north country and wandering back roads to find cool waterfalls and lakes.  Everyone at the campground was super nice, from John the park manager to other campers, spent one night hanging with another yurt group checking out the views from their spot over cold beers. The fire tower at the top allows perfect views of the area

the sites were all very private, the yurt was great, the bathroom was just a pit toilet

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're so happy to have this sweet Yurt on our platform. This property is remote and serene while still offering access to downtown. Spend your days adventuring and come back here to relax and unwind. Give them a try and leave a review!

This campground has numerous activities to keep the whole family occupied (pool, rec hall, volleyball, baketball, and bocce ball). The waterfront offers a beach and a place to put in your boat (paddle or <10hp). A friend and I camped here not for the family fun, but because we wanted to be able to slip into our kayaks for an early paddle with the loons, bald eagles, and herons. Had an amazing experience when loons took off from the far end of the lake and came in right beside and over us for a landing. We visited in late August and enjoyed seeing mature and immature bald eagles, too. In addition to kayaking in the morning, we also took a drive to Weld to hike Tumbledown Mountain.

We tent camped in a loop where the sites were wooded and close together, but others are well suited to larger rigs and offer full hookups. The noise you hear will largely be the sound of kids and families having fun. Generators are not permitted. Bathrooms are clean The gate is is secured; plan to arrive by 9pm for check-in. If you're tenting and don't need electric, sites 101-106 offer slightly more seclusion and are close to the water.

Here I am, going to ruin it... no, really pretend you didn't read this... The main campground is nice, it has some great group spots, and some close sites, even a few semiprivate ones. After all it is a campground build on an old section on RTE 16.  The campground as others have mentioned is right on the river, and a wonderful river it is.

This is primitive camping, no water, no electrical, but it does have pit toilets and boat rentals and a day use area.

The hidden spots though are totally private and not at the main site but else ware on rte. 16, the ranger told me about them.  They are amazing (I didn't say that)

Access is easy for any vehicle, minimal cell coverage.

They are currently doing a dig and finding some amazing artifacts!

Jake from the Dyrt here!  The Loon's Nest is the perfect setting to enjoy the best of Maine, sitting along the lake with several mountains nearby.  Your hosts are also experienced with hosting guests and are excited to provide a great experience!  Check them out and please share some photos of your time at the Loon's Nest!

Rachel P has given a great review of the individual campsites; i have nothing to add to that! It's a rustic/no frills campground with vault toilets. This area is definitely a great spot to view moose or go fishing. It is also near Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge where you can view moose and loons galore! I've enjoyed kayaking and photography there. 

There are a mixture of sunny and shady sites, most along the river itself. The more open ones are better suited to RV/trailers. Scout out the ones at the very end before you drive down to 42. Kayaks and canoes are available for rental.

Beware! Google will direct you to a closed entrance to the park! If you're coming from Errol, you'll be fine, you'll see the main entrance before the closed one; If you're coming from the south, then continue past the first entrance and you'll reach the main one. i was here in October and it was COLD, so be prepared for all kinds of weather.

Sebago Lake is a great state park, one of the few in Maine that offers hook-ups (W/E; there is a dump station). Its popularity results in higher rates and demand for resevations. Reservations open up in February a week before other state park campgrounds, with rates higher for non-Maine residents. Site are level and large, some of them along the waterfront. there are trails for walking along the lake and it's easy to launch a kayak. There is also a trailered boat launch. The beach is beautiful! Wonderful place for a family! I was there in autumn, but I imagine when it's busier in the summer, noise may be more of an issue.

Sebago Lake State Park is close to Portland, Maine and neighboring towns. Nice to be close to home so the drive to arrive isn’t so long. Nice scenery and helpful staff. An enjoyable weekend.

Spent three nights at Mollidgewock State Park recently. Absolutely beautiful positioning next to a river. Clean sites - many covered in grass with wildflowers which were stunning. Ours had gravel which I ended up being pleased about after finding a tick crawling on our tent. The owner/manager was extremely friendly and helpful. The pit toilet was very clean, well-ventilated, and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. The main bummer was the proximity to a road -- the road noise was pretty significant (you could also hear ATVs behind the road). I think it would have been less noisy further in the campground (higher-numbered sites) where the river noises were louder. I would definitely recommend a campsite further in (avoid sites #1-5 ish that are directly next to the road - car lights will shine in your tent at night as cars drive in). This wasn't a huge deal, but the sites further down were more private and further from the driveway. 

Errol does not have much in the way of grocery stores and there are apparently two restaurants but we didn't check those out. Excellent outdoor gear/supply store! 

They rent kayaks/canoes on the property which was fun (saw a bald eagle). Awesome hikes nearby - we did Dunn Falls in Maine. 

Overall, great campground but would probably choose a different site next time as I prefer a more private set up.

I stopped here along a Cohos Trail thru-hike with a reservation. I had pre-booked campsite 41 and it did not disappoint, with a tent platform right off the water with great views, and a short walk up to the facilities. The campground was busy but things were quiet early.

Facilities in the main office were clean. Amazing fishing was also a short hike away up the Connecticut River up to the River Road covered bridge.

So we camped here for 1 night. It was big. Lots and lots of sites. We didn't really spend much time here. The woods in maine are really what its all about. We drove down to frenchmans swimming hole. It was a bit of a drive but it was worth every moment. We saw moose and other wild life. Its was fantastic.

Two lakes is great for families. Has the amenities needed for a fun family filled adventure...if thats what you want to call it.

Cheers!

Quiet, remote, serene and clean. I love this campground. It is a New Hampshire state campground so the prices are low and the place is very well-kept. They even have a sink with hot running water where you can wash your dishes at the main house. There is a boat launch to put in a small boat, kayak or canoe. It’s just overall a really nice place to go in the wilderness where it is quiet and no cell phone service at all for miles.

This is definitely a great area to camp. It’s close to Portland and set on the north end of the lake. The facilities are fairly decent and definitely geared towards families. There are two little beaches attached to the campground which tend to be less busy than the main beaches in the other areas of the park. My biggest recommendation would be to stay on the Naples Beach end of the campground as it’s a bit quieter. We’ve stayed here multiple times as a family and it’s a great location.

Visted this campground for 10 days.  Overall  very good experience.  

Pros: 

- Nice staff! They were very willing to work with our change in plans, and were even willing to call other future campers of our site to accommodate our extension. 

- Site are mostly good, at least what we could visualize.  Some complaints that some sites weren't level, but ours was acceptable.  

- Pool had many visitors, very family friendly. 

- Lots of kids over the weekend, again, family friendly. 

- Wash and Dry were only $1 each!!  That just seems reasonable based on so many campgrounds charging double and triple that. 

Cons: 

- Bathrooms/factilites were main reason for 1 less star.  Women's had extremely weak water flow.  Men's rooms had half the facilities "out of order".  Physical construction weren't amazing, but still ok.  I say this, because the facilities might simply be seen as less than optimal to some.
