Best Campgrounds near South Eliot, ME

The sites on the water book up quickly but they’re perfect for fishing and boating. Also, the view!

I use up my two weeks allotted here at Harold Parker every year. A great place to enjoy family in the outdoors .clean sites. clean bathrooms and friendly staff. I live in a neighboring town to Andover. It’s so easy to get to.

I stayed one night here to experience Salem during Halloween at a tent site. Positives are access to Salem, Uber and Lyft are available though scarcer as the night gets later (10:30 pm), it is also on the trolley line if you need transportation during their business hours, great view for sunrise. Negatives are there is no privacy at the sites, everything is very open, fires must be off the ground, and the bathrooms are old and may not be stocked.

Con: Signage is awful! Hard to find park, office and cabins! Once there, Looong drive to both campground and Cabins.

Pro: cabins are on a remote lake. Perfect for star gazing! Rustic but comfy (beds) cabins. Bring all your own stuff. No electricity, so no lights. Our cabin had a steep path. Others did not.

Need to make reservations before 2pm!! This campground is nice and calm with a lot of space and bathrooms. There are water hookups at tent sites. Didn’t have any issues, just it is a little expensive for someone from out of state. We paid $54 because we are from Ohio

Friendly staff, hard gravel access roads, level gravel sites. No issues with electric, sewer or water hookups. Some of the best clear, clean, drinking water at high pressure we have come across. Great access to beaches, numerous eateries and shopping minutes away. This is our second time we have been here and here for the month of September.

I would reccomend Seacoast RV Park to other campers.

This is one of the best places we saw. We were here during a quiet period in August. The pitches are spacious and shaded.

The sanitary building is clean with good showers.

There is a lovely pond in which you can swim. It is somewhat small when crowded but nevertheless very lovely.

The water in the pond is not streaming so be prepared for mosquitoes when camping close to the water.

There is a well maintained playground for kids and there are activities planned for kids and adults.

We would definitely return.

great Pool, alot of woods and nature feel

frindly staff

Autumn Hills Campground is AWESOME! It’s remotely located and the amenities and activities are amazing, something for everyone! The staff is so friendly and helpful and I can’t say enough how clean the bathrooms, laundry room and store are! The super nice owners, Adam& Jennifer are constantly making upgrades and changes and have really created a beautiful, family oriented campground! I recommend you take the virtual tour online so you can pick a sight that works for you and book it soon.

We stayed for 3 nights in late July.   This adult only campground is peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear - it is quite relaxing.   It has both tent and rv sites, some with full hookup and some with power and water only.  The trees are quite tall and create a lovely canopy overhead.   There is some road traffic noise, but it’s minimal.  In general, the sites are pretty close together and do not have great buffers.  The sites that face the marsh are the best sites - they have some grass and lovely views.  We were in site 5, which faces the woods and was dirt.  It had a slight bump in it which made hooking and unhooking our travel trailer a little difficult.   The bathrooms were very clean.  There is a small camp store that sells wood.   The people we met who worked at the camp were friendly and helpful. There are a few very short walking paths in the campground , but it is 1.3 miles  of the Eastern Trail, a multi use gravel path which is a better place to walk, bike, or run.  It is within a mile of the Audubon center office, where you can either put in your own kayak/canoe or rent one.    In theory, you can launch a kayak from the campground, but I would not recommend it.  There is a culvert under Rt 9 that you need to pass under which is dangerous - the Audubon Center informed us that people have flipped in the culvert due to the current, and that there are obstructions under water that one individual got caught on.

This was my first time staying at Bear Brook, it's an easy campground to get to, once you get to the west gate it's about a 4-mile drive to the campground, if you're coming from the east it's about 1.5 miles.

The first impression was impressed by the size and how organized everything was. Check-in was easy, then driving to my site (#7) took a minute.

That's when I realized the sites were 4' apart in the section I was staying in. Other sites on each end are further apart.

The campground has a beach, a playground, a Ball field, and a store. The roads are all easy to drive on but narrow.
