    Forest Glen

    Forest Glenn campground

    Forest Glenn campground is a very nice campground on Wheelwright pond in Lee New Hampshire! Not well kept up but makes you feel like you’re still camping and not glamping ( glamorous camping ) besides some of the very nice campers here with 2 stories on them! Anyway cutting to the chase, just to let any new comers know that are looking for camping in the Lee area if you so choose to camp at forest Glenn depending who you are or how you approach this place dictates if you will have to feel like your stepping on eggshells your entire stay… the owner is a angry Drunk who is sometimes very nice to others or very nasty, and I personally mostly see him being nasty. A couple years back I wanted to look at the campground to see if this would be a place I wanted to stay at so I walked into the office and asked them if we could look around and the lady was in the process of writing us a pass to drive through. This man comes in and said whats going on so I politely told him that we were interested in his campground and we wanted to look around. He completely flipped out said he doesn't understand, said his campground is his back yard, we can't allow this how would you like if I just walked around your back yard etc etc.... yelling at us the whole time and spitting while screaming and then told us to get out of his sight…. This place mind you is overrun by golf carts and I have heard of incidents where people get hit by them because who cares about the posted 5mph speed limitations if your in a golf carts right? Right! And CLEARLY this place is a Double standard place so you will not be treated equal… and as far as I know this place has secret people who camp supposedly working at camp like the manager and security and the plumber or electrician who look like their helping but while helping they gather information about you to spread it around to others or to cause problems with you and the owner!! Oh how thoughtful… one Morning I was in the office and the owner pulled me into the rec room to have a talk with me about my string lights suggesting I shut them off at night and I’m not allowed to use them anymore. I said “sir why would I do that there are 50 other sites with spot lights and string lights Who are these lights bothering that I need to take them down for? “ he said use them inside the trailer I don’t want to see them on again! “ now tell me how that makes any sense… so I shut them off and it became like a minefield on my site at night with no lights while the campers down a different street get to have theirs on. There is no privacy at this place, things keep going missing, and the sites are packed like sardines with no room for Jesus. There are also people staying here over winter and it’s a seasonal campground tell me how that makes any sense. Anyway definitely an experience to be at where drama hits too close to home and the golf cart parking spots are rolling a little to close to my feet. “ oh sorry my foot slipped “ #welp time to search for another place. Seems to be a trend with almost every campground. Angry owners who automatically cause problems or can’t run their own business place without drug addicts for help ( to say the least me and my wife WILL NOT BE COMING BACK )

    Tuxbury Pond RV Campground

    This camping trip truly exceeded my expectations

     The campground was clean, peaceful, and surrounded by wide open views. During the day, the natural landscape felt refreshing and expansive, and at night, the sky was filled with stars, creating a calm and almost magical atmosphere. The layout of the campsite was well planned, making it easy and comfortable for both beginners and experienced campers to enjoy their stay. One fun thing I did after the trip was use Idea To Image to recreate some of the moments that stood out to me—sunrise over the tents, the warmth of the campfire, and the quiet starry night. It helped me turn those memories into beautiful visuals that really captured the peaceful vibe of the experience. Looking back at them now feels like being transported right back to the campsite. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking to slow down and reconnect with nature.

    Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground

    Two week stay

    Read reviews on google. That’s the experience we had. The signs no everything. Cash only. The management is very weird acting and riding around on a bicycle. I feel so weird making this review because this place is odd . The tenants are fun and the scenery is great. But but but you’ve been warned. Turn your blue tooth off and your WiFi so that your cellphone privacy is protected.

    Gunstock Campground

    Great Spot

    Fairly extensive camp ground associated with Gunstock ski area on central New Hampshire. We arrived without a reservation a bit after the office closed, but Elena, the manager came out to let us in and allowed us to check in. She was great. Dogs must have proof of rabies vaccine. Very nice showers. Beautiful fall colors.

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."
