Best Campgrounds near Biddeford, ME

Pawtuckaway State Park Campground sits about an hour from Biddeford, Maine, with campsites right on the water that work well for people who like to fish or take boats out. Bear Brook State Park Campground has lots of hiking trails through the woods if you want to spend your days walking. Both places show off what makes this part of Maine special.

You'll probably see wildlife around your campsite, so keep your food locked up tight. Getting to these campgrounds isn't too hard on most roads, though winter weather can make travel tricky. You'll find basic bathrooms and places to eat at picnic tables at both parks. Your phone might not work in some spots around the campgrounds, which helps you actually relax away from emails and calls. These campgrounds make good options for short or longer trips when you need to get out of Biddeford and into the woods for a while.
