Best Equestrian Camping near Bradley, ME

This is the first campground we have stayed at that has ATV trail access, horse friendly camping, full hookups, pull through sites, tent camping, tent rentals, teepee rentals, "tiny bird cabin", and a tree house.  

A must see!

This campground is absolutely adorable. RV, tent , Treehouse camping to camping out in a Teepee! I surprised my husband with the Teepee- we were not disappointed! A huge Teepee with a very comfortable queen size bed- a couch, table, area animal rugs , coffee maker and a fan if needed. We were asked to bring our own bedding due to Covid regulations - which we did not mind at all. The very clean restrooms were located nearby , which was convient. The staff was so friendly and very accommodating. Sleeping in the TeePee was an incredible experience and we would definitely do it again - so fun! All we needed was a horse- haha! The owner also offers horseback riding lessons and trail rides.

New park so lots of construction going on. Owner is very helpful. Will be a great park when it really gets going. W/E/S at most sites. Reasonable price. 35 to 45 bucks, in Maine thats not bad.

I showed up to Maine unprepared with a place to stay. Somes Sound View Campground was the only campground I could find in the area with availability. The entire staff during my 6 nights was very friendly. I stayed at two different sites during my stay due to my first one being reserved after my fourth night. Both sites were very nice. The sites were equipped with hammock trees, fire rings, picnic tables, and even running water and electricity! One of the nights we heard a bunch of coyotes howling nearby which was pretty cool. Very clean and nice showers too

Such a great place! We stayed right by the water and it was just breath taking. Restrooms were clean and the owners/workers are nice and helpful. We will defiantly be back.

Stayed a few times - on the water and farther up the camp ground! Great place last visit had very loud neighbors but other then that great service, clean, affordable!

...but remember that sound travels over water. This is truly a stunning little spot and it was so peaceful, until it wasn’t. I snagged the best spot right on the waters edge on a platform. The night I happened to stay here I had a very noisy group of young adults show up around 9pm and were up until 3 in the morning chatting and laughing. Showers were clean and the woman at the front was friendly and helpful.

Due to covid19, it’s impossible to reserve the campsite in Acadia National Park. This campsite is outside of NP but it’s really close and easy to access everywhere. Very quite and nice place to enjoy the beautiful summertime. Also, the ocean is just in the campsite, even though the water is really cold but we saw few dolphins and seals, we had a great time here. It will definitely be recommended to the people who come to Acadia National Park.

This was our first camping experience and we loved it. Camground is very beautiful with lots of colored trees, you can enjoy fall colors just outisde your tent. Every campsite has tap water for cleaning dishes and charging points. Wood and ice is available at reasonable cost. Checkin and payment process was super smooth.

This is actually a pretty nice campground as long as you have the right expectations.  

First, most of the campsites are quite nice, with decent amounts of privacy.  Also, when I was there (although it was mid-week in September), the campground was very quiet, even though every site was full.  As a walk-in, I think I got the worst campsite in the campground, and the manager said that I only got that because someone canceled.  I would avoid campsite 14 (the one I had), because the parking spot is about six feet above the camping area, and the camping area is not especially level.  Not an awful site, but it did not work well at all for my usual set up.

Second, although the campground is on the water, don't expect to get a water front spot unless you reserve well in advance, even during the week (from my experience).  There are probably about 5 campsites actually on the water, maybe another 8 or 10 have water views of some sort.  The others are back in the woods.  Nice enough spots, just don't expect water!  The campground also boasts a waterfront site for general use, but frankly it is not very nice--see photo--basically about 100 yards of gravel road, fronted by a man-made bunch of seaweed-covered rocks (by the way, the waterfront campsites are along with this same stretch of gravel road.

There is a bath house with showers and toilets, and portapotties.  Everything was clean.

We decided to move around and camp in 3 locations to fully experience all that Acadia had to offer, but this easily became my favorite. And we have already booked a second trip only staying there!

The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. I camp with my dog and that was absolutely no problem. No breed restrictions which is a huge plus.

We stayed close to the water and had plenty of room for parking and setting up camp. The grounds were kept clean and easily accessible.

I can’t say enough great things about the location, the staff, and the campground overall. We cannot wait to go back!

Wooded and quiet private sites with some on the ocean. Close to Acadia N.P.
