Biddeford Pool, Maine and the surrounding coastal region feature several established campgrounds catering to various camping preferences. Sandy Pines Campground in nearby Kennebunkport and Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach provide options within 10-15 miles of Biddeford Pool. The area primarily offers developed camping experiences rather than dispersed camping, with most sites accommodating tents, RVs, and cabin rentals. Many campgrounds in this coastal Maine region operate seasonally, typically from May through mid-October, and feature amenities like electric hookups, water access, and shower facilities.
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.
Waterfront and beach access represent significant draws for campers visiting the Biddeford Pool area. 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. The mixed-use campgrounds in this region balance natural settings with convenient access to coastal attractions, making them popular bases for exploring southern Maine's beaches and towns.

GuideThis is a nice campground with 90% permanent upscale sites. Don’t let that deter you, the nightly spots are concentrated have excellent natural surroundings. Decent size spaces and mostly level. Workers were nice and many things to do.
ScoutIt's old school in that you can't reserve online, and they only take cash or checks, but the campground is beautiful, clean and well maintained.
TravelerA mix of seasonal and short term campers. Here for 3 nights I did not feel out of place at all - quite the opposite. Staff are very nice, campground is quiet, clean and has lots of amenities(laundry, games- pool, table tennis, badminton, small kids playground, kayak rental for the placid river, swimming area at the river"beach"). All sites have water and hookup. Couple of excellent tent spots right on the river. I had a small space down by the river for my tent trailer and found it quite spacious. Sites overall are somewhat close together but not overly and it remains peaceful. About 30 minute easy drive to the coast (Portsmouth, Hampton Beach etc.).
ScoutThis campground is near our home but one feels miles away. Lovely views of the shoreline, saltwater pool, and many choices for hook-ups. We stayed there over Labor Day weekend in 2025 and are returning this year in 2026
ScoutWe stayed midweek and the park was 1/2 empty. Lots of kids activities. Wonderful bathrooms and showers. Great laundry. Close to Freeport but not the water
ScoutWe just came back from a big family weekend there. We had 5 sites with 19 people(including children). This is by far the most rundown campground I've stayed! Only 1 bathroom facility was functioning. Of the 3 times I tried taking a shower, I only succeeded 1 time. The other 2 times(once at night and once the following morning at 6am) I only got drops coming out of the hot and cold faucets. I tried the only 2 stalls. Speaking of bathrooms...these have not been updated since the 60s-early 70s when I was camping with the same style bathroom facilities. The children's playground should be condemned!!! At least 25% of the wood is rotted. Some steps are missing from ladders. My granddaughter was swinging in the childs swing, the bottom unlatched and she fell through the bottom. If she wasn't monkey like in holding on she would have done a face plant to the ground. After looking at the swing, I found the plastic latch broken! 2 positives: the campsites are very nice! and the beach is great! Bottom line, these owners are not putting any money back into the campground and it's facilities. They are running it into the ground. I won't be coming back again!
ScoutWonderful stay! Clean bathrooms/showers. Woodsy and quiet. Clean campsites with water and electric. The people were super helpful and friendly! Wonderful stay, would easy stay here again :)

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.

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.

"There are a myriad of amenities in the campground like a basketball court, Wiffle ball field, horseshoes, badminton, playgrounds, arcade, swimming pools and hot tub, group bonfire, and dog park," describes a visitor at Old Orchard Beach Campground.
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.
