"It was fun to feed cows and walk goats. Cute farm. Ok playground, large field for pickup style games. Sites are small and not well divided."
"Overall, this campground is located in an idyllic Maine setting and offers the feel you would expect to find in a state park – hiking trails, water for kayaking/fishing, and some sites with lots of space"
"Bike and hiking trails when you e had enough of the sand. No power or running water except for the bathrooms and showers. Only tents or pop up campers, wish they still took 5th wheels."

ScoutKid and pet friendly. Lots of activities for kids including a flashlight candy hunt, water slide, and s’more roast. We’ve been coming back for years and the addition of a glamping tent, cabins, and domes have made it even nicer!
TravelerSandy Pines is located a very short bike ride from Cape Porpoise, home of Nunann's Restaurant , Mussette, Lost Fire and Pier 77. Some of the best food in the area without having to deal with the crushing crowds of the Kennebunkport scene. Ride 10 minutes in the opposite direction and you arrive at Goose Rocks Beach , the best shoreline beach on southern Maine.
Sandy Pines has impeccably maintained campsites for all style of camper and tent . If you do not have either one, you can rent one of their super funky Gypsy Wagons, A Frame chalets or Glam-tents on the platform . Just add yourself and stir. You cannot have a bad time.
GuideThis is our first visit to Sandy Pines and we are so impressed with how well groomed this property is. We stayed in the Beach Rose section and we have full hookups. We took a mid- September vacation and love how nice it is with fellow campers spread out. We are not resort campers, but this is very nice now that children are back in school. The pool is heated and very inviting. There is a playground. So many choices of cabins or glamping tents to rent. Dogs are welcome. Big rig friendly. Very close to attractions and restaurants and stores. We will be back next year with friends. We camped in our Minnie Winnie travel trailer. The Wi-Fi is hit and miss unsecured. Mostly miss.
RangerAwesome campground. Beautiful setting, lots of trees, bordering on beautiful marsh area. Many different types of campsites: rent, RV, seasonal RV, cottages, glamping tents and cabins etc. We stayed at site 4 in Beach Rose area. Loved it. Super well maintained, owners invested a ton in upgrades. Cleanest bathrooms and showers (individual stalls) we’ve ever seen. Great location - can walk to beach on dyke road, good hiking nearby at Steele Nature Preserve. Good road biking with shoulders on many roads. Awesome place, we would return. Note that it used to be called Salty Acres but was renamed Sandy Pines.
GuideThis is high end camping! Cleanest nicest bathrooms and showers I’ve ever seen camping. Also fun game areas and a beautiful store which has good food too! The sites are very nice and not too close together. We tent camp but they also offer small cabins which looked adorable and glamping tents. Easy access to local trails and tourist spots. A fantastic campground I hope to return to
TravelerThis is an extremely large campground. It seems that most of them on the coast of Maine are. We didn't get a very good sight, but the person who answered the phone basically told us that when we called and it was all they had, so I can't say too much about that either (#17). The sight was small and between the two driveways. All of the sights seem to have rocky ground, so I recommend a sleep pad and a footprint for your tent so you don't rip the bottom.
Now, on to the other stuff. There is a small playground that is weathered but in decent shape. The pool is lovely and meticulously kept. The grounds, bathrooms and showers are spotless. It's 50 cents for 5 minutes to take a shower (unheard of) with hot water. There is even hot water to wash your dishes next to the bathrooms.
They sell ice, wood ($7) and many "I forgots" in the store (bacon, milk, etc...). They give you a security card to get into the grounds ($10 deposit). The campground was SUPER quiet and quiet hours go to 8am (thank you)! Only an RV about to leave made a ton of noise at 7.
I would go there again. It was a safe place close to so many things. The beach and everything else is VERY close but not so close as to be annoying.... 5 minutes at most.
ScoutWalking distance to Old Orchard Beach, this campground has something for everyone. While the site are fairly small and crowded, it harldy matters because of all of the amenities at the campground. The staff is vigilant about keeping quiet hours, but allow you to have fun at the same time. A shuttle will take you to the town beach or you can walk/ride bikes the .25 miles. We had a large group ranging in age from 3 to 53 and everyone had a blast!
Travelerlots of great amenities and events for kids. tent sites are on top of each other, but easy walk to camp store and bath houses. beach access for swimming in the lake. can be noisy outside of quiet hours, but becomes surprisingly quiet later at night.
Scout\We recently stayed at what I can only describe as the worst private campground in Maine. From the moment we arrived, we sensed the place was run more like a fiefdom than a welcoming campground. The woman in charge—a cantankerous witch—made it clear early on that customer service wasn’t part of the package.
Things went downhill fast when a group of bikers set up right next to our site and fired up a gas generator that echoed. When I politely asked how long they planned to run it, I was told—in the true spirit of American hospitality—that“in America, we’re allowed to do whatever the f*** we want, that they were on vacay, and that it would only get louder from here.”
Apparently, they were right. When I brought the issue to the owner, hoping for some kind of help or enforcement of basic quiet hours, she basically told us tough luck. The bikers had paid over$500 for their spots, and if we didn’t like it, we were welcome to leave. No refund. No solution. Just aggressive indifference. In desperation, we relocated to a more remote, forested site—quieter, yes, but also swarming with mosquitoes all night and not at all what we paid for. Again, no refund. Not even a partial one. Just a shrug and an attitude.
This place is a racket—overpriced, poorly managed, and apparently tailored to the loudest, most entitled guests with the deepest wallets. If you’re hoping for peace, nature, or even basic respect as a customer, camp literally anywhere else.
