TravelerNice site one of the more expensive campgrounds in the area. Polite staff I asked if I could rinse off the front and back of Airstream as they have dusty roads here. The said no not even without soap. I asked no we are on a well. First time I was told no in two years of travel . Even in upscale parks most let you rinse the bugs off
Not a real complaint just a note .
GuideSo we got there & was escorted to our spot which seemed nice. It took awhile to get rid of them so we could get set up.
We got everything set and we have a mat we put down. Well, the grass is like straw & we were not allowed to have the mat on their dead grass??
In our spot, for 6 nights, we had no shade at all!!! All these nice ocean front ones that were there we assigned to people there for 2-3 days! Wth!!!
Their honey wagon waa broke down so we had to pull everything in to empty our grey water.
I went and asked about how much the laundry machines were and 30 mins later it was a little painful. You have to sign up to do laundry and schedule your time. Ok, well I did 2 loads for $14 and my hours was up and one load was not completely dry. She explained that ONE TIME some families got their clothes mixed up as they were all trying to leave at one morning. So, instead of them looking at this as an exception, they put this sign up system in place. So, complete overreaction and changed every other's experience in the future.
As our neighbor described it as a RIDGED HOA. The kind that worry about everything you do and don't do.
ScoutCorporations are buying up the private campgrounds and charging ridiculous prices. The three around Campden, ME have 4 day minimums making the most basic RV site $ 225 to $260 per stay.
ScoutThe Campground offers basically everything that’s needed for a good experience. There are kids amenities and activities, there’s a shop inside of the campground with a little of everything you might need. We rented a site next to the ocean, and it was great!
GuideI’m always appreciative when booking KOA. This site did not disappoint. Tricky parking but wonderful to have the views to myself and one other neighbor. Beach front, able to swim and SUP right from the campsite. Amazing fire pit. Bathrooms are far, and only 3 showers, one was down. But they were clean. Overall will book again.
RangerThis place is the perfect mix of feeling like you're rustic camping on the water with decent amenities. Not many RV's will fit so, mostly tent camping. Un-level sites have platforms to put your tent on. The office even has hammer and nails for you to use to secure everything. Fresh ground local coffee every morning and local Giffords ice cream at night at their "Gathering Place". Kids ride their bikes everywhere. I'd say kids get to be just the right amount of feral here. It's a safe, quiet and fun park. Best you'll find on MDI and in Maine. It's one of our top in the USA, to be honest.
ScoutA 1/2 mile from the coast and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. No complaints. Shower, laundry, and ice available on-site. Each campsite also has water and an electrical outlet for charging your devices.
ScoutDespite being a fully booked campground our stay was very enjoyable. It was quiet, other campers were respectful. The bathrooms are dated but clean. There is a designated dishwashing drain to keep animals away from the campsites. Best part though was the lack of biting flies and mosquitoes!
ScoutPretty small site but nice layout. Wifi was terrible. Had to listen to an argument from a neighbor. Someone was parked in the spot and had to move so i could back in
