Great Spot
This is a really great campground. However, the cell service is terrible. I do have Wi-Fi, but it is very weak. I would count on having to use Starlink.

GuideSebago Lake Family Campground
Good place for rustic camping
This is a campground, not a resort. It offers water, sewer and electric sites but most are just water and electric. There is dump station and they offer a service to empty your holding tanks.
The sites are staggered and in wooded ares so that you don't look directly into another RV. There are a few pull through sites but most are back in.
The campground is in the process of upgrading (they used to have no sewer sites). They have showers and cabins. Trees prevent satellite reception and the local TV stations are limited due to the remote area.
Camp store is well stocked but not very large. Staff are very pleasant and accommodating. Sebago Lake is right down the hill but not walkable (car or bike).

Can’t beat the view
I was lucky enough to score one of the waterfront spots for one night of my stay. I backed in and opened the rear doors of my campervan and just stared at the ocean view for hours. Spectacular!

Prejudice owners
I have never come across a more prejudice, morally wrong and bad business situation in my life than my most recent experience with this campground. I am 40, am an engineer and my mother is 70 and a retired high school teacher. I have a five year old and live with my mom. I have owned three properties over the years. I say all this background because it’s necessary for this story. Oh and I am very quiet, have held a security clearance, a marathon runner blah blah blah. My mom sold her condo and we have a move out date on June 15. We decided to get an rv for the season and stay at a campground. We picked this one. They said we were all set to move our rv to the site for May 21st. Then on May 20th in the afternoon they call and basically say our family dynamic is unacceptable and we can’t move in. Yes I have a girlfriend. She doesn’t live with us but stays often. She has been an Americore worker plus worked with homeless for years. Apparently we would look to out of place. First- to tell us this about 16 hours before move in is unacceptable, after a couple weeks of saying you’re fine. To be that judgmental and prejudiced is unacceptable. I have zero respect for this campground and wish all who read this to boycott. Mary Ellen you are not a good person. In one voicemail to my mom you state how she’s anxious and also say it will be fine! Turns out she had good reason to be anxious. To treat others like you do is not ok. I found that anxious comment very off at the time and in retrospect it is telling on many levels. Be ashamed! What you have done to good people is wrong on many levels. I state all this personal stuff to highlight how ridiculous being turned away from a campground is. I have owned nice homes in very nice communities and never thought a pathetic campground would turn me away, what a joke.

Love camping here!
The first time we camped here was on Columbus Day weekend a number of years ago, and we got to see seals sun bathing on the beach. Are kids thought it was the greatest thing ever! The sites are a little close together and many of them are in direct sunlight , so that isn't the greatest , but if you have an awning, you should be good. We love that it is right on the water, and we can walk to the beach. We also appreciate that it is pet friendly, and our dogs love it too. Write down the street from camp, there is a street setup almost like a boardwalk, with arcades, live music, ice cream, food, and a carousel! There is also a bigger beach, and you are one twin away from New Hampshire. Lots to see and do here!

Close Sites, Loved the River!
My husband and I had a great time here! We went early in the season, so there were not many people there. We met the new owners/managers and they were very friendly. David was attentive and very helpful!
We stayed in the Oak Section at 317. The sites are pretty close together, which is why I gave a 4. We didn’t have neighbors, but I can imagine on a busy weekend, it might get crowded. The Utilities at this site were in an awkward spot, compared to where we wanted the camper.

Nice people
Needed a spot to dump. They were one of only a very few places open in March. $20 to dump our tanks.
Guide to Cape Neddick
Cape Neddick camping options range from oceanfront sites with views of Nubble Lighthouse to wooded inland areas near coastal marshes. Located along the southern Maine coast, Cape Neddick sits at the junction of the Cape Neddick River and Atlantic Ocean, with most camping sites near Cape Neddick, Maine positioned between Route 1 and the shoreline. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-80°F with coastal fog common in early mornings.
What to do
Lighthouse views: At Libbys Oceanside Camp, campers have direct ocean views toward Cape Neddick Lighthouse. "This campsite has a great view over the ocean towards the lighthouse. The site is very tidy and toilets clean! Everything you would need available," notes Olaf in a recent review.
Kayaking tidal marshes: The salt marsh at Sandy Pines Campground provides direct water access. "The back end of the campground is a salt marsh, campers can put in canoes and kayaks right from the campground," explains Steve K. The protected waters are suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers.
Beach exploration: Most camping areas are within 5-15 minutes of multiple beaches. One camper at Dixons Coastal Maine Campground shares, "This is a nice smaller campground... The location to the coastal beaches of York, Wells, Agunquit and Kennebunkport is the main reason we stayed here."
Antique hunting: Route 1 corridor features numerous antique stores. "RT 1 is full of antique stores so get out of the well-known towns and that will be fun," recommends SANDIE B. from Beaver Dam Campground.
What campers like
Oceanfront sites: Many campers prioritize water views when staying in Cape Neddick. At Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground, one reviewer states, "The campground is set right on the ocean but you're still in the forest. Everyone is really friendly at the camp and in town."
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in this area maintain high standards for bathrooms and common areas. "This campground is immaculate. Everyone we encountered from campers to staff were super friendly," notes Joe R. about Sandy Pines Campground.
Seasonal atmosphere: Several campgrounds operate from May through October, with distinct seasonal advantages. "We took our mid-September vacation and love how nice it is with fellow campers spread out," says Celeste C., who appreciates the less crowded shoulder season.
Walking access: Several campsites offer walking distance to beaches or towns. Peter F. notes that York Beach Camper Park is "about 10 min walk to short sands beach in York. There is plenty to do there and nice to be so close but feel away from it all."
What you should know
Site variations: Campgrounds often have different site types with varying privacy levels. "The lower portion of the campground is located in a swamp. The mosquitos were relentless," warns Chris H. about a section of Dixons Coastal Maine Campground.
Reservation requirements: Most Cape Neddick area campgrounds require advance booking, particularly for oceanfront sites. Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground operates differently, as Jessica A. explains: "They pretty much keep a 'No Vacancy' sign out all the time, you really need to stop and ask if there is anything available."
