  Camden Hills State Park Campground

  I really like that the campground has easy access to the hiking trails. Clean bathroom facilities and the free showers were nice and hot. Unfortunately, you can hear quite a bit of road noise.

  Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground

  Agritourisum at it best

  Stayed 5 nights with family on the next sight, great place for kids with lots of variety, animals and low traffic back roads for bike riding. Reserve early if you want hookups.

  Bayley's Camping Resort

  Best campground on earth!

  This is my favorite campground by a mile! The people here are so friendly and accommodating, the campground facilities are clean and well kept, the kids activities are top notch, and the free trolly to Old Orchard Beach and Pine Point Beach is so convenient and the drivers are AMAZING. The nightly entertainment is also outstanding, especially the hypnotist. There are three nice pools, several playgrounds, two stores, a mini golf course, several ponds for fishing, and a really great restaurant with a huge selection of foods and decent prices. There’s also an adult pool with its own bar and restaurant that’s also very good! They serve a yummy brunch too. I really can’t say enough about Bayley’s. We travel 9.5 hours to come here each year and when we arrive, it simply feels like home. Old Orchard Beach is beautiful and is just a 5 minute trolly ride away. Just come! And don’t forget to bring your boogie boards!!

  Meadowbrook Camping

  Electrical Issues

  I value the reviews left here, so I felt I needed to leave an honest review in hopes it will help someone else. We stayed here for almost 2 weeks. During that time there was a sewage smell near the bathhouse. The sites are not level and most are not shaded or very wide. We also had brown water and were extremely thankful for our multiple water filters. We paid for a 30 amp service, but had low voltage the entirety of our stay. The solution that was proposed, was that we remove our Watchdog EMS and Surge protector. We decided to keep our Watchdog on. They had several campsites on the same breaker, something we have never seen at any campground in our 3 years of travel. On our last day, we didn't even have enough voltage to keep fans running inside our RV. Please be aware that low voltage seems to be an ongoing problem as an RV behind us had an electrical cord burn up while we were there.

  Meadowbrook Camping

  Great Staff, Nice Sites

  We were greeted with the most amazing, kind and service oriented staff! Just wonderful to see these days. Our site was a pull through and it was wooded and flattish. Some rocks on boulders, but we fit in fine. We were right next to a tenting site. Kind of close, but we managed to put the back of the RV toward their site. It is dog friendly!!! Lots of things to do on grounds and around this area. We had a great time. Plus, they have nice hot showers for free. No quarters here! lol In short, we loved our time here.

  Camden Hills State Park Campground

  Coastal State Park

  Camden Hills state park is in a great spot, close to town and has a waterfront access. If you have a bigger rv you’ll want to stay in the field sites in the front of the park. The higher you go the better for tenting it is as it gets more forested.

  Camden Hills State Park Campground

  great hiking

  Nice state campground with tons of hiking trails right from the campground. We stayed in a non-hookup site for $38/night- very expensive but we wanted to stay in the area and enjoy the hiking trails. Most sites don’t have enough sun for solar, and those that do, are FHU sites. Go figure. We were in site #65, recommended to us by the ranger as having the most sun for our panels. 65 was nice because it was set apart from other sites, and kind of enclosed so it was nice for the dogs. But it’s in direct view of the dump station so if that bothers you don’t pick this site! 

  The drive up Mt Battie Rd was worth it for the views at the top. RVs are ok to drive on this road, and there’s RV parking at the top. 

  Showers are free, hot, and good pressure, but they are the creepiest campground showers, rusty and dark. Dump station and potable water are available. 

  There’s a little free library book exchange at the ranger station at the entrance. Verizon service was usable but very weak, ATT was better, and fine with the weboost. The campground offers wifi at $3 per day per connection, but we didn’t use it.

  Bayley's Camping Resort

  RV Resort

  We have stayed at Bayley's a lot over the years and have watched it grow into an RV Resort. 

  If you're looking for all the bells and whistles, full amenities and location to town this is it. I saw a few other reviews noting the noise levels, I think this comes with the territory of staying at an RV Resort. It is family friendly, kids ride their bikes around the campground and you can hear your neighbors. 

  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. Staying by any of the pools will be louder. The adults only area can get loud in the summer with music during the day. 

  We stay on the event weekends, rent a golf cart and sit in the hot tubs for the duration of our stay and it couldn't be better.

  Sennebec Lake Campground

  Great Campground, friendly and helpful staff

  I am new to pulling a small camper, and staff was great helping me secure a site that was easy for me to back into, and beautiful. Staff and other campers answered some basic questions graciously. The grounds are well kept and the facilities were clean and inviting. The shop was amazingly well stocked.

  I will definitely return!

  Camden Hills State Park Campground

  Nice clean park with shaded sites

  We stayed in site # 31. It was a nice sized site and very shaded. We had water & electric and there is a dump station onsite.  The had a problem with the water so we filled up at the Camden Fire station which was close to the campground. You can pay a few extra dollars for WI-FI it's worth it. The sites are not level yet in the hills they usually aren't. There is a section of campsites that are along the side of the office that have no shade. If you like sun those sites are for you. 

  The auto road was closed so we didn't get up to see Mount Battie. You could hike it yet my husband couldn't hike due to health issues. The day use area is across the street from the campground. It has some hiking trails and a nice place to just hang out. 

  The town of Camden is quaint and has shops and good places to eat. Traffic is bad yet worth it. If you like Thai food Long Grain is so good. You need a reservation or you won't get in. They were so busy they even quit taking to go orders. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. 

  We drove to Searsport and went to a antique/nautical place to buy some lobster pot buoys nice little shop. We stopped at McLaughlins on the way back and had some dinner. It was ok. Lots of people said it was good yet pricey and just ok. 

  We found a great Mobil RV guy Chris Burbelo (207) 322-4526. We had issues several places we stayed and he came out & fixed it all. He fixed our slideout, a leveler, a window and the fridge. We went 2 months with our slide stuck in. He made our trip. Highly recommend him.

  Camden Hills State Park Campground

  Hit or miss with sites, but has potential

  Camden Hills wouldn't be our first choice, but we were returning to Maine to retrieve our trailer after some truck trouble, and wanted something close to where we left the trailer. Sites were pretty picked out by the time I made plans. so I chose a "Medium" site and hoped for the best.

  It was tricky getting our 20' trailer into site 13. I'm not the best trailer driver (long truck, short trailer) but I do get lucky from time to time. I backed the trailer in between the trees as a neighbor laughed, trying to avoid the culvert for the stream which would have been a disaster. The truck/trailer wouldn't fit, so once the trailer was parked and leveled, I "parallel parked" the truck to get it off the road.

  I had a Falcon Guide to the Maine trails, and that, along with the park map, allowed us to do a nice loop of Mts. Battie and Megunticook. In order to not block the site, we packed up and asked to park in the "overflow" lot near the park shops.

  Some of the turns in the roads were a little rough for bigger trailers, but we did okay. The dump station is further in the campground, so don't try to leave and miss it. Wifi seemed pretty strong but we kept turning it off. I didn't ask about how much it costs. 

  Camden was a nice town; parking was problematic. The campground is about 2 miles from town, so not close enough to walk. It seemed like there were a lot of portapotties around, but that could be due to the Mt. Battie auto road traffic. We didn't try the bathrooms or showers.

  Try to do your homework regarding sites, and anyone with a trailer should try to get a large one.

  Duck Puddle Campground

  First time camping with a camper.

  Had a wonderful 4 days at Duck Puddle. An amazing view of the lake from a site that was very level. The staff were all friendly and the facilities were clean and stocked. Can’t wait to come back!

  Sennebec Lake Campground

  Amazing Stay, Terrific New Ownership

  Sennebec Lake Campground provided a blend of relaxation and adventure for the kiddos and the campground's commitment to modern conveniences is evident, with amenities that bring together comfort and wilderness living. During our stay, remarkable service provided a seamless experience. We have a 35ft RV, and we faced no issues  getting in and out of the property and the sites across the water were level, with no extra leveling needed. 

  The campground's location was a highlight, offering easy access to the towns of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland, each having with their own unique New England charm. Sennebec Lake Campground is a sanctuary for families seeking a serene escape without sacrificing modern comforts.

  Bayley's Camping Resort

  Great for families

  If you’re towing the kids and toys, this is a great campground for that. If you’re looking for peace and solace, probably best to keep searching. The campsites are on top of each other all the way around. Of course, as we always find in the RV community, everyone was very nice. But we did have screaming children next door and kids up early playing and happily making noise. Our neighbors also had their campfire on the night we pulled in, and the smoke was blowing into our camper. No biggie - just close the windows…but it did smell like campfire in our RV. Just a note if you’re sensitive to these kinds of things. They do have an adult side, which we didn’t experience so I can’t speak to that.

  Overall great location and close to everything. They have a nice shoulder if you’re a runner or want to bike, with easy access to nearby protected trails and great views. Pools, playground, cafe, and lots of machines for laundry - just make sure you bring change because it’s quarters only. You can also get change in the resort store at the change machine. We liked that they had a commercial size washer, because it fit our kind sized comforter in for a wash.

  Just crowded - high season, so no surprise.

  Freeport / Durham KOA

  Cute Family KOA

  This is a cute little KOA with lots of things for smaller kids to do. We visited during their Halloween weekend. They had costume making and trick or treating for kids (bring candy) and a renaissance fair/party for adults. There is a pool with slide, a playground, a basketball hoop, a disc golf net. They have hayrides and a nightly train ride for younger visitors.

  WiFi and cell service are both spotty.

  Not old adult or disabled friendly

  Picked this campground for my parents to stay at because they had stayed 5 or so years ago and loved it. Now my father is disabled and mom is older we thought to give them one good vacation. The campground was 45 min from us so we could check on them. We towed the camper in and set up and were told we could not register the car or us for the week if we were not staying the night. We would have to get day passes every day at 12 a person. All we wanted to do was check in do shopping for them and take them out for activities but was still made to pay to just drive on site to pick up my DISABLED parent. This is camp is not a older adult friendly camp. And outrageous priced for what you get. Will never go again and will never recommend. Staff was rude and unhelpful

  Sagadahoc Bay Campground

  Quiet Low Key on Clam Flat

  Small campground with a couple spots for rigs and a wooded area for tenting and small pull behinds. This is not a resort. Simple place to land and enjoy the coast of Maine. The owners Pat and Eric are great hosts. Great place for Clamming. They can issue a town permit for 7 days ($26) and have all the stuff to dig your own. Wi-Fi is good but not great depends on how many people are on. Verizon is spotty. AT&T is pretty good.

  Chewonki Campground

  Terrific and Convenient

  Chewonki is a wonderfully run private campground near Bath, Wiscasset, Damariscotta and the beaches. The grounds are beautifully maintained and with modern. clean utilities /amenities.
  The boat launching area is limited by the tidal stream, but offers terrific, quiet experiences not expected as close to route 1.
  The ownership is on site and they’re friendly, helpful and proud of their property. Strong Verizon cell service too!

  Another breathtaking stay......

  This is our second year coming back to this same campsite. The owners were very friendly and attentive. This place is charming, rustic, and beautiful scenic. Last year we stayed for 3 days and it wasn't enough, so this year we booked it for 1 week. We have booked 2 sites for next year already, which tells you why we love this place so much.(Check the photos). The campsite is pretty quiet and spacious. Apart from an amazing view, you can't beat it. The campground was very accommodated plus we had 2 service dogs that loved this place so much. You can go down in the water during low tide to do clams hunting(you have to get a license from the front desk). All we can say is that this place is worth the$, time, no and stay. (Erica & Kieran)

  OK for a short stay.

  Campground is in need of upgrading. There were very heavy rains the night before we arrived that washed out some of the roads. Our site was quite wet. Hosts were very personable. We probably won’t be back.

  Nice area

  I came up to see Maine Botanical Gardens and wanted a relaxing spot to park my small trailer. This is a lovely spot, great views, the campground does a nice job of splitting the difference between private campgrounds and public state parks. They are redoing some landscaping due to the tree clearing for the local airport. Some of the spots are more open to your neighbors than others. It is obvious the owners care quite a lot. Clean bathroom, although chilly in the 3rd week in May :)

  This campground is amazing! Very family friendly, dog friendly, bike friendly... everything friendly! The owners are doing an amazing job. They have many pools, mini golf, golf cart rentals, a restraint, a few stores and much more. If you're debating brining your family here, I couldn't recommend it enough
