Paradise Park Resort
Great clean campground
Great campground, it is walking distance to Old Orchard beach and has large sites. Many family activities including fishing, 2 pools, a dog park, and a snack shack.
Shore Hills Campground & RV Park permits pets throughout the campground with several waterfront sites offering river views perfect for dog walks. Most dog-friendly campgrounds near Edgecomb provide full hookups for RVs, clean facilities, and spacious sites for pets to enjoy. ['Visitors use The Dyrt to find real feedback on camping near Edgecomb, Maine.'] Chewonki Campground's pet-friendly atmosphere includes walking trails and waterfront areas where many campers bring their dogs. Sites at these campgrounds include picnic tables, fire rings, and enough space for pets to settle comfortably outside tents or RVs. Almost everyone at Shore Hills has a dog according to regular campers, making it a particularly social environment for pet owners. Both campgrounds maintain clean grounds with proper waste disposal options for pet owners.
Boothbay Craft Brewery & RV Resort combines pet-friendly camping with easy access to dog-friendly attractions in Boothbay Harbor. Dogs can accompany owners on the short walk to the brewery's restaurant where outdoor seating welcomes pets. The nearby Botanical Gardens allows leashed dogs on certain trails, creating an excellent day trip option for campers with pets. The coastal location provides numerous opportunities for dogs to enjoy shoreline walks when staying at nearby Sagadahoc Bay Campground or Pemaquid Point Campground. Tidal areas at Shore Hills allow water-loving dogs swimming access during high tide periods, though owners should be prepared for muddy conditions at low tide. Most campgrounds in the region enforce standard leash policies and expect owners to clean up after their pets, with pet waste stations available throughout the grounds.
"Spent a late September weekend with kids and pets at Chewonki, and had a great time. Such a friendly atmosphere, the golf green was a blast!"
"Small family owned campground with a variety of people enjoying piney Maine scenery. Owners are super nice and helpful. Salt water pool, walking or biking trails, boats to use."
"The campground is pet friendly- I think almost everyone we saw had a dog."
"Boothbay Harbor is a cute coastal Maine town and Shore Hills Campground is a great location for visiting the downtown and other Maine towns like Wiscasset and Easy Boothbay."
$106 - $126 / night
"Riley was super helpful over the phone and was outside greeting all the campers at the entrance. The brewery and restaurant are phenomenal!"
"Sites are not secluded, but you can't beat walking distance to a brewery. The food at the taproom was also good! Online booking was easy and the campsites were well priced."
$56 - $170 / night
"The most unique feature of this campground happens at low tide when you can walk over a mile out towards the lighthouse on Sequin Island ([https://www.seguinisland.org/).]"
"Biggest dog beach ever when the tide runs out on the sand flats!"
"The waterfront sites (61-66) offer direct access to the lake and have trees between the site for a more private feel. Some have a private dock for fishing or sitting, others have a small beach area."
"It’s also close to other fun coastal towns. Definitely worth a visit."
"There are bathrooms close by to all, the main lodge is nice and the food at the snack shack is sooo good!! burgers, pizza, salad- all local and from their gardens."
"I don’t associate Maine with sandy beaches, so it didn’t occur to me beforehand there would be so much of it (yeah, even at an oceanfront campground.)"
"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."
"This is a nice campground really close (though still driving distance) to Popham Beach - which is one of the best beaches in Maine, in my opinion."
"It is located close to the coast and Pemaquid Point Light house is right down the road. We rode our bikes to the beach and grocery store everyday."
"The campground is about a mile from the lighthouse, an easy drive or bike. "
$42 - $75 / night
"No traffic noise from outside. The path to Pemaquid beach is right at the end of the driveway and not much further to the historic fort. The Pemaquid Point lighthouse is 15 minutes away."
"This campground is also very close to a public beach and a very short drive to Darmascota, so overall, I am very happy with the location and experience!"
"tent sites are on top of each other, but easy walk to camp store and bath houses. beach access for swimming in the lake."
"The sites are right on the lake with gorgeous views. Some sites even have their own pier to sit out on and fish or swim from or simply watch nature. They rent kayaks and canoes to explore the lake."












Great campground, it is walking distance to Old Orchard beach and has large sites. Many family activities including fishing, 2 pools, a dog park, and a snack shack.
Absolutely beautiful! Clean, quiet, had a shaded site near the dog park which was awesome for us with our pups
Reservations online was super easy, and the hosts are great. They allowed me to drive around and look at the other campsites as I was needing a site with limited/no tree coverage. Plus I’m still learning how to handle my van, so was looking for a very flat spot. Bathrooms are nice and clean, the grounds are nice and clean, and the dog park is a great bonus.
This was a nicely shaded and quiet park, even with kids running around. There was a nice pool for the kiddos, as well as kayaks and water toys for the pond, which looks like a lake. Great sized dog parks - 2 connected to each other. People are super nice. Sites are pretty close together.
Staff super nice. Wifi not great and we have starlink - lots of obstruction so if you need uninterrupted access I’d check with the front desk to see if there are clearer areas for your satellite. Laundry was a bit of a trek from our site, but not a huge deal. Overall pleasant stay, though!
Overall, this is a great little private RV park with awesome views (from some sites) and great access to the ocean. The park is conveniently located just a few miles from downtown Belfast (a sweet little Maine town) which offers plenty to do and see. Plus, you are just five miles from the cute town of Searsport which houses the wonderful Penobscot Marine Museum and two miles from Moose Point State Park with hiking trails, picnic areas, and more gorgeous views.
The park offers a variety of sites (44 total) depending on if you want oceanfront, ocean view, or a pull-thru. All sites have electric (50 or 30 amp), water, cable and wifi. The five pull-thru sites also include sewer. A mobile sewer pump-out service is available for guests staying one week or longer and there is a dump station. Roads and sites are gravel with grass patios and level. All sites have a fire ring and picnic table. Our Verizon 4G phone and Hotspot worked great but we mostly used the free wifi which worked very well.
Park amenities include private ocean access, horseshoes, playground, laundry, showers/bathrooms, free coffee in the morning, free weekend papers delivered to your site, free donuts on Sunday mornings, and a restaurant on-site. The park organizes a lot of group activities including pot lucks, lobster shore dinners, and free wine and beer during Friday Happy Hours. The laundry has two wash machines/dryers and was clean and tidy.
The Moorings is in a great location. It is just a few miles from downtown Belfast where you will find restaurants, a brewery, boutiques, a movie theater, art galleries, historic museums/sites, and plenty of water-related activities. Grocery stores and fuel stations are within a few miles of the RV Park. Just a mere 20 miles away is the popular coastal town of Camden.
What we liked about this park is the town of Belfast and how close the RV park is to downtown. Also, the parks small size and friendly people make this an enjoyable place to stay. We like the fact that they had social activities (like free happy hour and donuts) that bring people together. The ocean access in this park is great! A short set of stairs takes you down to the water which is great for exploring, launching kayaks, and letting the dog run/swim when the tide is out.
The biggest downside for us was the price and lack of sewer and 50 amp at some sites. Our site was $66/night for a FHU (50 amp) pull-thru on the hill in the front of the park without much in the way of a water view. Premier oceanfront sites (with no sewer and 30 amps) are $72/night during high season. That being said, there are not too many options for campgrounds in the Belfast area and we really did like staying here.
From a dog owners perspective this park gets mixed reviews. The rules ask that dogs be on a 4’ or less lease, you may only have two pets (unless you get prior approval), they must do their business in one small area and are not allowed on most grassy areas throughout the park. We make a consorted effort not too let our dog pee or poop in others yards but we don’t always have control over where that happens. We did like the fact that you could take them down to the ocean to play in the water and on the beach when the tide was out. Within two miles of the RV park is Moose Point State Park with a few miles of hiking trails, picnic area and water access (a daily use fee is charged). Downtown Belfast does have a fenced off-leash 1.4 – acre dog park with water for dogs and benches for owners.
We chose this campground because it was close to a festival we wanted to check out. Upon arrival we could not find the office. We had to stop a camper who was walking and ask her where the office was. The workers were less than helpful. To many seasonal campers. The sites were to close. The owners were dog breed prejudice. There was a whole paper full of rules if you brought a pet. We are big dog lovers of all breeds and took offense to them being so against certain breeds even being on there property. I will say that the bathrooms were very clean and seemed new.
I have a love– hate relationship with KOA campgrounds. They tend to be overpriced and not consistent. You will find one that has nice sites at a decent price. Then, there are the others which are complete opposite. This KOA is on my good side. There are lots of site choices, cabins, yurts, and tent sites to choose from. The location is good as it is about 10-15 minutes far from the town of Freeport(home to L.L. Bean and tons of outlet stores), the pretty coastal town of South Freeport, four craft breweries and a cidery, and Bradbury Mountain State Park. The owners and work campers are very friendly and the super welcoming. Normally I am not concerned how nice people are but they go out of their way to make sure you get all the discounts you can and put you in a site that you prefer.
We have stayed here a few times and are always impressed how well-cared for the grounds are and how and clean the common areas, bathrooms, and pool are. The grass is always cut, weeds trimmed, fire pits cleaned and there is no trash lying on the ground. There are lots of seasonal sites but they are in the back portion of the park with the transients being in the front. The park has nice super long 50 amp FHU pull-thrus in the front of the park which will fit any length RV and tow vehicle. Some of these sites are “buddy” sites with a shared patio, but are so wide that even if you don’t know your neighbors, it would not be a bother because you are far enough apart. The only downside to these pull thrus is there is no shade. We tend to be there in cooler months so shade is not a problem. However, the rest of the campground has a very park-like feel with over 50 acres there is plenty of room to roam and even a short nature trail through a wooded area. Many sites backup against the woods or are in wooded areas so keep that in mind when making your reservation. We give this park two thumbs up for their dog park which is ten times the size of the average KOA dog park. My lab had plenty of room to run and chase a ball and there were never any other dogs there which was nice. Plus, it was clean and free of dog poop! Normally, there are plenty of activities like s’mores by the fire, crafts, pony rides (yes, they have their own ponies on site), ice cream social, hay rides but this year they were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We don’t use those amenities anyway so that wasn’t a problem but can see that would be fun activities for kids. We were in a buddy sites with our friends and liked the shared patio. Since we were in the open area, we were able to get both satellite with our roof-mounted dome and some over-the-air channels from Portland which is about 45 minutes away. All of our hook-ups were in an accessible place but we were also in a long pull thru and could position the RV in the site accordingly.
Some of the cons for this park are the lack of cable, so-so wifi, and the dusty gravel roads and pot holes. There are a few restrooms buildings scattered around the park which may not be close depending on what site you are in.
A beautiful place with a farm, campground and state park all together! There are tenting spots, camper spots and field spots. I recommend any with tree coverage. There are bathrooms close by to all, the main lodge is nice and the food at the snack shack is sooo good!! burgers, pizza, salad- all local and from their gardens. The working farm is open to visit and walk around. Pet the baby cows and see the pigs and goats. they have a ton of activities going on through the summer. Our huge tent site was $60 for a busy August weekend. totally reasonable! we had a lovely time despite the rain and will try to go again next year! The grounds are a short drive to downtown Freeport for shopping at the outlets and LLBean.
Winslow Park and Campground is a busy 100 campsite and park run by the town of Freeport, ME.
We stayed in site #1 and were pleasantly surprised to not have any neighbors that night, which meant our site seemed larger than it ordinarily would have. The sites are small- similar to what you would find in an RV park. They are large enough to fit long class A and large tow vehicles into, but not much room is left between you and your neighbors, and there are few if any trees separating the sites.
There are warm showers, but we did not find them to be very clean. Regardless, we did enjoy our stay at Winslow. There was a concert going on when we arrived, but the park was less busy when everyone left for the night. The sunrise over the bay view we had was absolutely incredible- we loved our waterfront view and it was definitely the best park about this site.
At $50, this was also one of the more expensive sites we’ve stayed at. The view was definitely worth the price, but I don’t know if I would stay again simply because the RV park feel isn’t really our favorite aesthetic.
Either way, we appreciated the proximity to Freeport and the amenities and view at the time!
Of note: we visited the House of Hounds on Sniffspot the next morning so our dog could run and play- that ended up being one of our favorite things we have done on this trip. Omar has a beautiful open field that he lets people bring their dogs to play in and it was absolutely divine- especially since our guy doesn’t love other dogs so we can’t rely on dog parks for exercise. He enjoyed having the whole field to himself!
Edgecomb's coastal position in Maine's Lincoln County offers easy access to both the Sheepscot and Damariscotta Rivers with average summer temperatures ranging from 65-75°F. Most pet-friendly campsites in the area require advance reservations during peak season from June through August when coastal campgrounds typically reach capacity on weekends.
Tide exploration at low water: The tidal fluctuations at Sagadahoc Bay Campground create a unique opportunity to explore the exposed seabed. "When the tide goes out you can walk for forever. Lots of people come here to clam," notes chelsea, who appreciated the small beach within a minute's walk from the RV section.
Harvest seafood yourself: Several campgrounds offer clamming opportunities with proper licensing. "Clamming license, tools for digging and even pots are available at the office," explains Ming R., who found the "clams there are the sweetest and most delicious I have ever tasted."
Visit historic sites: The Pemaquid Point Campground positions you near important coastal landmarks. "The campground is about a mile from the lighthouse, an easy drive or bike," writes Kenneth K., noting that the area includes "a beautiful, quiet corner of Maine" with several great restaurants within a mile in both directions.
Waterfront site selection: Duck Puddle Campground offers various water views based on your preference. "The waterfront sites (61-66) offer direct access to the lake and have trees between the site for a more private feel. Some have a private dock for fishing or sitting, others have a small beach area," explains K R., who recommends visiting during spring and fall for quieter stays.
Proximity to coastal attractions: Campers appreciate locations that minimize driving time to regional highlights. "Boothbay Harbor is a cute coastal Maine town and Shore Hills Campground is a great location for visiting the downtown and other Maine towns like Wiscasset and East Boothbay," writes Nancy W., who enjoyed the selection of sites that accommodate everything from large RVs to tents.
Farm-based camping experience: Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground combines camping with agricultural activities. "We stayed on waters edge in a band of trees, breezes, birds, and fish jumping," reports Darin S., while another camper noted that "the working farm is open to visit and walk around. Pet the baby cows and see the pigs and goats."
Reservation procedures vary widely: Some campgrounds have outdated booking systems. "Old school in that you have to call to make reservations and they do not accept credit cards," reports rachel S. about Shore Hills, while Amy I. warns about disorganization at another location: "After three phone calls and three emails trying to confirm our reservation and give payment info, we cancelled because the whole process was too disorganized."
Seasonal crowds impact experience: Peak and off-peak timing significantly affects campground atmosphere. "We love coming to Duck Puddle in the shoulder season (spring and fall) when it's quiet," notes one camper, while another mentions that "during certain times of the year, the park offers a shuttle service to and from downtown."
Shower facilities differ by campground: Sherwood Forest Campsite and other locations have coin-operated showers. "Clean bath house with plenty of hot water...metered but plenty of time," writes Anita B., while another camper specified "it's a quarter for a shower but that's fine with me."
Look for educational farm experiences: Children enjoy interactive agricultural settings. "My kids enjoyed visiting with the farm animals and walking along the rocky shore each day," shares Michele S., who found Wolfe's Neck Campground provided "plenty to do between biking, kayaking, farm experience and visiting downtown Freeport close by."
Choose campgrounds with beach access: Water features keep children entertained throughout the day. "The lake is great for swimming and paddling," notes K R., while another camper describes their site as having "great views of the river and we could angle our camper so we had privacy."
Check for organized activities: Meadowbrook Camping schedules regular events for children. "There were activities going on for the holiday weekend and we enjoyed participating in them," writes Laurie, while another camper mentioned "an open karaoke night around a community fire pit that was very popular and everyone was having a great time."
Choose full hookup sites strategically: The positioning of utilities varies between campgrounds. "Hook-ups at our site worked fine and were well-placed and easy to connect to," notes Nancy W., though she warned about the internet connection: "The wifi was a joke and we got frustrated and gave up."
Be prepared for electrical challenges: Some campsites have power limitations. According to Joy P., "We paid for a 30 amp service, but had low voltage the entirety of our stay... They had several campsites on the same breaker, something we have never seen at any campground in our 3 years of travel."
Road access varies by location: Boothbay Craft Brewery & RV Resort provides easy entrance and exit for larger vehicles. "New level sites, easy in and out," reports Mike H., while Joe R. adds that "we had a pull through site which worked really well for newbies like my wife and I."
