LegendThis is our favorite campground on the Kanc. Lots of great hiking and scenic views. Close to Conway as well. Leaf peeping season will find you stuck in traffic. Recommend going afterwards. JJ closes for the season on October 12th.
LegendThis 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.
TravelerRelaxing! Fun! Camping the way camping should be!! Nice wooded sites! Super friendly seasonals! The owner is the best and his campground is beautiful! You can tell he puts the “happy” in camping!! Stay Happy!!
RangerI 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.
TravelerThe campsites are very nice, but they are mostly made for tents or at biggest a van. There were only two spots that we could fit our school bus. About 35ft. We also have starlink so that’s a necessity to have clear sky view. The only campsite with this was the last campsite before the end of the road closes. Which was taken but they were gone in the morning we just moved down. Now it’s very secluded but the drive is very long down so plan for a couple days. You can stay up to 14 days. Road down is a little bumpy but our school bus made it through!
ScoutVery 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.
GuideWe 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.
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
ScoutPark is nestled in the woods with a lot of activities outdoors. Walking trails for people and dogs. Great laundry, bathrooms, office/store, cafe. The roads into the sites are tight but they guide you. We have a 30’ trailer and 20’ truck, I wouldn’t bring a trailer longer than 35’ in unless you are really good in tight spaces. Site 110 is a great pull thru.

Beach activities at Sebago Lake State Park: The park offers excellent sandy beaches with designated swimming areas suitable for all ages. "Sebago Lake is beautiful. Sites are very close together. Luckily many of the sites around me were not occupied but I get the feeling that is rare. Bathrooms were clean.

Kayaking on Long Lake: Rentals are available at several campgrounds with boat launches and docks for easy water access. At Colonial Mast Campground, visitors appreciate the lake setting.

Multi-lake boating: The connected waterways around Otisfield allow for extended boating trips. According to Joshua B., "Sebago lake is a great spot for all types of fishing. From bass to landlocked salmon. And you can take the boat up river through the songo locks. All the way up to long lake. Stop at Naples causeway for a bite to eat."
Private wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer shaded camping areas with varied levels of seclusion. Jo-Ann N. describes Papoose Pond Family Campground and Cabins: "Lots of nice spacious wooded sites. Located on 2 sides of a road, the side opposite the lake was much nicer and more spacious. Sites across road much more spacious."
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the region maintain well-kept bathrooms and shower facilities. At Papoose Pond, Tiffany C. reports, "This campground is amazing. It is perfect for family camping.

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially for waterfront sites.

I could write an extensive review telling you that all the amenities and sites were great because they are."
Site spacing: Many campgrounds have closely spaced sites, particularly in waterfront areas. At Martin Stream Campground, one camper observed: "The sites are close enough to hear every word of every conversation and there is nothing to screen sites from each other."
Season length variations: While most campgrounds operate Memorial Day through Columbus Day, some offer extended seasons. J B. notes, "We stayed at Colonial Mast Campground 10/31/2020 to 11/1/2020. The water was turned off at our site due to freezing temps. Sewer and electric were available."
Planned activities: Look for campgrounds with organized programs for children. Angela M. shares her experience at Papoose Pond: "Went to Papoose over Memorial weekend with the family and had a blast! Staff was super friendly, tons of activities for kids and adults, nightly entertainment, and lots more! Played parents VS kids kickball and laughed so hard."

Navigation challenges: Narrow roads can make larger rigs difficult to maneuver. Katie B. warns about Lakeside Pines: "The road is tight so be prepared to drive close to trees. You're within 30 minutes to White Mountain National Forest, which is gorgeous!"
Dump station policies: Check campground rules regarding sewer services. A visitor at Martin Stream Campground mentions: "There are no sewer hookups (which is fine) but you are only allowed ONE use at dump station upon leaving the campground.
