Reservations are strongly recommended during the peak summer season when coastal Maine campgrounds fill quickly. Most campgrounds in the area require advance bookings, particularly for holiday weekends and prime waterfront locations. "Old Orchard Beach is a fun, family-oriented campground located in the fun little beach town of Old Orchard Beach. The best thing is there is a trolley that takes you from the campground to the beach so you don't have to deal with parking," noted one visitor. Weather considerations include potential coastal fog, summer humidity, and cooler evening temperatures even during peak season. Cell coverage is generally reliable throughout the region, though signal strength may vary at campgrounds tucked into wooded areas. Many campgrounds implement quiet hours and have specific pet policies that visitors should review before arrival.

Several campgrounds provide shuttle services or are within walking distance to popular beaches, eliminating parking concerns during busy summer months. A camper mentioned that "Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park is well located, near the beach, shopping, and with access to Portland. Good walking, good restaurants, and a great specialty grocery store around the corner." Family-friendly amenities like swimming pools, game rooms, and organized activities are common at the larger campgrounds such as Bayley's Camping Resort and Old Orchard Beach Campground. While most sites offer standard amenities, premium locations with ocean views or extra privacy tend to book months in advance.

RangerA small campground with closely spaced sites in a heavily wooded area. There is some road noise (even though it’s on a back road), but we could barely hear it camped in the back loop. Nice shower rooms, pit toilets and a cool common area with a coffee maker, sink, hot plate and extra kitchen items. Well maintained and the campground host was friendly and helpful.
ScoutWe recently stayed here in a cabin with our family of four plus dog. Our boys loved the playground, bounce pillow, heated pools and sandy beaches. We stayed during the week so it was very quiet. We have an older dog otherwise we would have checked out the dog park and dog beach (he doesn’t like to swim). This place checks all the boxes. We were just bummed out about the store hours and food shop not being open during our stay as we hoped to get lunch there but it’s fine. The site was clean and well kept. They have regular security driving around.
GuideLovely campground near the lake. Many of the beaches were resident only so I highly recommend buying the $10 beach pass to access their private beach (There’s only two passes available so get there early) The lake was incredibly beautiful and so relaxing!
I will say site #23 is a bit of a tight squeeze, we had a travel trailer (About 21 ft) and a GMC Sierra and we had to pull the truck up tightly against the trailer so we weren’t sticking out. Wanna shout out Rick because he was so kind and very helpful!
ScoutGreat little mom and pop campground with tent and RV sites
TravelerDecent campground but way overpriced You would think for $154 per night plus taxes that the sites would at least be level and well maintained…. Not the case Gravel site full of weeds
TravelerWe had the best time at this campground. Everyone was super friendly, the bathrooms and showers were new and very clean and it was nice and quiet. We would come back here anytime!
ScoutAwesome place. Very child oriented, lots of activities, quiet after 10:30. Dogs are welcome just about everywhere except beaches as long as they are leashed which I love. I will definitely return
TravelerLittle small backing in with our camper. They have larger lots. Will choose one a touch larger. Overall nice campground
TravelerSpacious sites variety of types Water electric and sewer large pool clean. Lots of new updates I recommend staying here quite peaceful

Kayaking at Scarborough Marsh: Wild Duck Adult Campground offers a unique location directly on the Scarborough Marsh. "We stayed for 3 nights in late July.

The campground is within a mile of the Audubon center where you can rent kayaks or canoes.
Biking on Eastern Trail: Multiple campgrounds provide access to the Eastern Trail, a converted rail trail. "This quiet campground is about a mile from the Eastern Trail through the Scarborough Marsh. This campground is small but well maintained," explains a camper from Wild Duck. The trail offers a car-free route for exploring coastal wetlands.
Beach town entertainment: Old Orchard Beach provides classic amusement options within walking distance of several campgrounds. "Old Orchard is known for their amusement park, arcade, pier, fun downtown, and expansive beach with seven miles of room to walk. Here you can stroll along the streets listening to the melodic sounds of an arcade, buy an airbrushed t-shirt and eat pier fries and fried dough," shares a visitor to Old Orchard Beach Campground.
Adult-only options: Several campgrounds cater specifically to adult campers seeking quieter environments. "This adult only campground is peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear - it is quite relaxing," states one visitor about Wild Duck Adult Campground. These sites typically enforce 21+ age requirements and maintain stricter quiet hours.
Heated amenities: Many campgrounds extend their seasons with heated facilities. "There are pools, hot tubs, a bar in pool area with not only beer and wine with frozen drinks," explains a visitor to Bayley's Camping Resort. Heated bathrooms and pools allow comfortable camping from May through mid-October.
Specialty food experiences: Some campgrounds offer unique dining services beyond typical camp cooking. "And best part was ordering lobster and having it delivered to the campsite. Steamed and ready to eat!!" raves a visitor at Red Apple Campground. Several campgrounds partner with local seafood suppliers for on-site lobster delivery.
Variable site privacy: Site spacing varies significantly between and within campgrounds. "Depending on your site location you may get more privacy than if you stay in the big rig sites. The wooded sites tend to be more private and less loud," advises a camper at Bayley's Camping Resort. Request wooded sites when making reservations for more separation from neighbors.
Beach transportation options: Many campgrounds provide shuttle services to beaches. "The best thing is there is a trolley that takes you from the campground to the beach so you don't have to deal with parking," states a reviewer at Old Orchard Beach Campground. These shuttles typically operate hourly during peak season and cost $1-2 per ride.
Noise considerations: Train tracks run near some oceanside campgrounds. "The trains all blow there horn and you will hear it if your at one of the site 'by the ocean'," warns a camper at Wild Acres Sun RV Resort. Sites further from roads and train tracks offer significantly quieter stays.

Consider season timing: Off-peak stays provide significantly different experiences. "We visited in the off-season but can only image the park gets pretty busy especially in the front section where the swimming pool, arcade, camp store, and other activities are located," notes a camper at Old Orchard Beach Campground. Early June and September offer milder weather with fewer crowds.
Check pool facilities: Multiple pool options can enhance family comfort. "They have a kids pool and a pool for the adults only w/bar. A pond for fishing, there are kayaks etc... Shower throughout and I might add very clean," explains a visitor at Paradise Park Resort. Many campgrounds maintain separate children's pools with shallower depths.
Consider site surface type: RV site surfaces vary across campgrounds. "Our gravel site was perfectly level with no potholes and the roads leading to our site were easy to navigate in our 45' motorhome," shares an RVer at Old Orchard Beach Campground. Some campgrounds offer paved sites while others provide gravel or dirt pads.
Wifi reliability varies: Connectivity differs significantly between campgrounds and even site locations. "The wifi was pretty terrible. We paid extra for what was supposed to be fast, streamable wifi, but at times that didn't work at all or was very slow," cautions a camper at Sun Outdoors Old Orchard Beach Downtown. For reliable internet, consider bringing your own hotspot.
Check hook-up locations: Utilities placement can affect RV positioning. "We had a full hook up site, mixed in with a bunch of vintage campers," mentions a visitor at Sandy Pines Campground. Verify sewer, water and electrical hook-up locations before arrival to ensure your RV's connections will reach.
