    Thomas Point Beach and Campground welcomes pets at its waterfront sites near Brunswick, with leash requirements enforced throughout the property. Meadowbrook Camping, Cedar Haven Campground, and Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground provide additional pet-friendly options in the region, each offering designated pet waste stations and walking areas. Most campgrounds in the area limit pets to two per site with proof of current vaccinations required at check-in. Sites accommodate various camping styles including tent camping, RV sites with electric hookups, and several pet-friendly cabin options. Freeport/Durham KOA allows pets in specific cabins with an additional cleaning fee. Seasonal campers note that while dogs are permitted at all these locations, the sites closest to water features tend to book quickly during summer months, especially at Thomas Point Beach where dogs can access shoreline areas.

    Hiking trails around Bradbury Mountain State Park provide excellent options for dog walking with over 5 miles of pet-friendly paths. Before bringing pets camping, travelers should note that Brunswick area campgrounds enforce quiet hours starting at 10 PM, which includes barking dogs. Multiple reviewers mentioned that while fireworks are permitted at some campgrounds like Meadowbrook, this can cause anxiety for some dogs, especially during holiday weekends. Several campgrounds provide designated dog washing stations, particularly valuable after beach visits where dogs can accumulate sand and salt water. Emergency veterinary services are available in Brunswick and Topsham, with contact information typically posted at campground offices. Winter camping with pets requires additional preparation, as some campgrounds like Cedar Haven remain open through November 1st but with limited services and potentially muddy conditions during spring thaw.

      Lake St. George State Park Campground

      Prett lake setting

      This campground is located on the northwest shore of Lake St. George which is a beautiful spring fed lake. The closest big town is Belfast which is just 16 miles west and Augusta is about 25 miles away. The park offers lots to do like boating, picnicking, volleyball, fishing, hiking, and swimming (which is in a designated area with lifeguards in the summer months). The park has rental canoes, paddle boats and kayaks for those that don’t have their own. We visited in the summer and the campground was pretty full but you didn’t feel like you were smothered. There are only 39 campsites, most of which are reservable online. The campground is also open in the winter and offers lots of winter outdoor activities. Campsites are a mix of gravel, grass, shady, and completely open sites. Be careful which site you book because some campsites are wide open with no shade so you may not want to book those in the summer. There is are newer restrooms with showers towards the front of the campground. The restrooms and showers are together in one room so you have lots of privacy. The shower had plenty of hot water. A dump station and potable water fill are located near the entrance. Sites along the water were nice and large enough for big-rigs but many were unlevel. We thought sites 21-23 and 30 were some of the nicest. Campsites in the middle section seemed more level than the ones along the lake or nearest the road in the woods. The sites in the middle also tend to be larger and you could use as a pull-thru. Our Verizon phone and hotspot worked well and we were able to pick up a few over-the-air antenna. One of the downsides is the noise from Route 3 which is a busy road. The other is that there are no hook-ups in the campground. Each site does have a firepit and picnic table. Nearby is the Lake St. George Brewing Company which has great beer and a dog-friendly patio. Check out the little town of Liberty nearby which has a restaurant, an interesting tool store and Liberty Graphics which has tons of cheap t-shirts with cool designs.

      Boothbay Craft Brewery & RV Resort

      Great place to camp near a fun Maine town

      This campground has expanded over the years from a handful of pull-thru sites(1-5) to now a larger camping section with back-in sites. Campsites are gravel with 30/50-amp full hook-ups. There is a no hook-up Harvest Host site, if you are a member and want to stay one night. There is a laundry and bathhouse that has private restrooms and showers. The high speed wifi worked great. Other amenities include a dump station, common picnic area, and propane fill-up. We find the campsites are pretty close with not a lot of privacy between them but the advantage of camping here is being at the brewery and close to downtown Boothbay Harbor. The brewery offers great food ranging from BBQ to wood fired pizza and has a good selection of beers and also offers wine. The outside patio is a fun place to hang out when the weather is nice but they also have an inside eating area that is super cozy. We love just having a short walk home after a pizza and couple of beers. Boothbay Harbor is a great coastal Maine town with lots of shopping and restaurants. We signed up for a boat tour that took us around the harbor and out to a lighthouse. The tour was narrated and a fun way to spend an afternoon. We love the local nature preserves for hiking and don’t miss the trools at the botanical garden. Bet’s Fish Fry is delicious for fish and chips, but beware the hours are very limited so check before you go.

      Shore Hills Campground & RV Park

      Been coming here for years and always enjoy it.

      We’ve camped here for over fifteen years and always have a great experience. The campground has nice sites, water access, nature preserves and hiking within a short distance and is close to Boothbay Harbor and many other beautiful coastal Maine Towns. Since we have a big-rig, we choose to stay in the full hook-up section in the front (sites 100-149) that has long level pull thru and back-in sites. The only downside of this section is that the sites are in the open with few trees for shade and no privacy between sites. Some sites have a wooden deck on the patio with a railing around it and others have a grassy/gravel patio. RV’s 36’ or less have more choice for sites whether you want shade in the woods or waterfront. Hookups are variable (regarding electric) so be sure to check the map before picking a campsite. A dump station is located in the front of the campground. There are two bathhouses (each with laundry) that are at both ends of the park. Waterfront sites are beautiful with a view of the marsh and tidal river. Just be aware that the tides are 10-12 feet and when the tide is out, you are looking at a mudflat. There are also tent sites that are nicely wooded. Access to the park is easy off the main road and the roads within the campground are easy to navigate. The campground accepts cash or check only. There is no online booking, you either call them directly or fill out a form and mail it to them. There is a kayak launch and the campground does have boats for rent. A great amenity is the shuttle that takes you to downtown Boothbay Harbor since the parking downtown is expensive.

      Boothbay Craft Brewery & RV Resort

      Best brewery and glamping spot

      This is one of our favorite campgrounds in the region. Close to the Botanical Gardens and the lovely historic town of Boothbay. The campground is small and well appointed with a super clean bath house and laundry room. Showers are free and the water is hot. Tasty beers and great food available at the brewery, though the brewery isn’t open on Monday- Wednesday.

      Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach

      Good for kids

      I have stayed in about 20 campgrounds in the past two months and this was by far the loudest despite being pretty empty. Kids screeching and screaming for about 6 hours a day, including weekdays. Had one come knocking on my door while I was working to try and sell keychains. Some uncontrollable dogs in our loop as well. Despite the lack of peace, the campground itself was in good shape and had a lot of amenities.

      Powder Horn Family Camping Resort

      Great Place

      Very Clean. They mow something everyday. Asphalt roads. Easy access to every spot. Extra clean showers and restrooms. They have activities for all ages. But no dog park. Why not? They have plenty of room.

      Bradbury Mountain State Park Campground

      Very Very Clean

      We are used to dispersed out in the woods.

      We are older and stayed 4 nights in the tent. The facility had the bathroom, we travel with our potty. The showers weee extremely nice. Great water pressure and hot water.

      The camp sites are close together about 10 ft between. If you are looking for very remote and no one around you this is not the place for you.

      We stayed in lot 7 right by the trail access. We were trying to sleep in but the early morning hikers walk right by the site.

      The staff was super helpful, they had fire wood bundles there reasonably priced. It was to far from town either.

      We found everyone to be very friendly and they all obeyed the dog leash rules that was excellent.

      If you have an expensive car watch the falling acorns. 4 days of them I may have to make an insurance claim, not to mention I got hit by one that left a bruise.

      The kitchen area was great for coffee we didn’t even have to fire up the generator.

      The bathroom area set towards the middle, we are older and don’t run as fast so we always bring our camp toilet. They kept the bathrooms clean the toilet paper was good. Not a regular toilet no flushing or water or anything.

      Colonial Mast Campground

      Mostly permanent RVs

      It's a cute campground with a beach and boat dock. Laundry, pool, showers all available but I didn't use them.

    Guide to Brunswick

    Brunswick's coastal location along Casco Bay creates varying camping conditions throughout the year, with spring bringing muddy thaws and summer delivering average temperatures between 65-80°F. Most campgrounds near Brunswick open from May through October, though some extend operations into November despite increasingly cold nights. Rainfall averages 3-4 inches monthly during camping season, making waterproof gear essential.

    What to do

    Kayaking at local waterways: Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground offers exceptional paddling opportunities. "We stayed here this summer and was one of our favorites ever! This campground is located on an organic dairy farm. There is a farm cafe on site with local food. We loved that! We went into Freeport and did a lobster charter on the Jenny ellen boat," writes Tonya M.

    Beach exploring during low tide: Sagadahoc Bay Campground provides unique tidal exploration. "When the tide goes out you have the entire inlet to walk around in and explore. At night the stars were absolutely amazing!" says Michael H. The campground sits directly on the water, allowing campers to witness dramatic tidal changes.

    Farm experiences for kids: Chewonki Campground combines camping with educational opportunities. "Kayaking, salt water pool and scenic walking trails blends in with the variety of singing birds under several tall pine trees," shares Cheryl R. The campground offers multiple ways to experience Maine's natural environment.

    What campers like

    Convenient Maine hiking access: Bradbury Mountain State Park Campground offers trail access directly from campsites. "You can access the trails from the sites, no need to drive around the park once you're there. This is an ideal fall camping area with lots of beautiful red maples and yellow birch and beech leaves coloring the hillsides," notes Kelsey K. The park features both hiking and mountain biking options.

    Unique desert landscape: Desert of Maine Campground provides an unexpected experience. "I never expected to stumbled across sand dunes in coastal Maine, so this was super cool," writes Tucker B. "The restrooms and showers were some of the nicest I have EVER seen at a campground (public or private)."

    Family-oriented facilities: Freeport/Durham KOA maintains a park-like setting. "With over 50 acres there is plenty of room to roam and even a short nature trail through a wooded area. Many sites backup against the woods or are in wooded areas," shares Nancy W. The campground design makes it especially appealing for families with children.

    What you should know

    Site conditions vary significantly: Winslow Park And Campground offers both benefits and challenges. "Nice bathrooms and spacious tent sites. You can choose to have a tent site right on the bay or off of the bay view. The bay view sites are our favorite, we get front row seats every morning to the sunrise on the water," explains Brittany M.

    Halloween camping events: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Brunswick offer special fall events. "The Halloween celebration is really well done- campers decorate their sites, there is an in-costume parade, and the central, bigger rigs are set up for trick or treating," notes Rebus B. about Freeport/Durham KOA.
