    Great spot, great hosts

    Kid 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!

    Sandy Pines Campground

    Sheik Glamping at its Best

    Sandy 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.

    Morning loons by the water

    My daughter and I have camped here on 2 different occasions. Last time was about 2 years ago. We camped in middle bay with a small wooded site opposite the bay.it was a lovely spot and heard lots of loons. The campground is very clean and staff are very friendly and helpful. Lots to do and not far from Freeport.

    Sandy Pines Campground

    Immaculate!

    This 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.

    Sandy Pines Campground

    Awesome campground

    Awesome 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.

    Pristine beautiful campground

    This 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

    Sennebec Lake Campground

    A quiet, relaxing spot

    We discovered this campsite in 2020 and just returned from our third year in a row camping here with 2 kids. We have only tented, but hope to bring a small camper next year. There is a small arcade, store, and 24/7 laundry. Bathrooms/showers are clean and not very busy as most guests are in RVs. Activities started up again this year, with events such as kids’ crafts, a kids vs adults water gun fight, cornhole competition, and a DJ for an evening of dancing - just on the weekend we were there. We love the proximity to the lake with easy access for kayaking and swimming. New ownership this year resulted in some updates, as well as the addition of glamping tents near the beach. The sites are a decent size and the campground is fairly quiet at night.

    Freeport / Durham KOA

    Good Location, Clean, Lots of Camping Options

    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.

    Paradise Park Resort

    Walking distance to Old Orchard Beach

    Walking 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!


Guide to Freeport

Freeport, Maine camping areas sit at approximately 100 feet above sea level in Maine's midcoast region, where the average summer temperature ranges between 60-80°F. The coastal position creates a microclimate with morning fog that typically burns off by mid-day. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from May through October, with September offering reduced crowds and comfortable temperatures in the 60s.

What to do

Beach exploration at Popham Beach: Located 45 minutes from Freeport, Popham Beach offers tide-dependent exploration near Meadowbrook Camping. One visitor notes, "Popham beach is so close and by far one of the best beaches in Maine. If you are looking for a place in Maine close to a beach and where you can have lobster this is it!"

Agricultural activities: The educational farms integrate sustainable agriculture with outdoor experiences. A visitor to Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground shared, "We had a blast biking around the farm, visiting farm animals, and watching the ocean. The grounds are a short drive to downtown Freeport for shopping at the outlets and LLBean."

Local waterways exploration: Tidal waters create unique paddling opportunities. At Sagadahoc Bay Campground, "When the tide goes out you have the entire inlet to walk around in and explore. At night the stars were absolutely amazing!"

Hiking trails: Multiple trail networks connect campgrounds to natural areas. According to a camper at Hermit Island, "The hiking trails are fantastic, they range from short to long. All relatively easy. They all have great sights, especially the one along the rocky coast. You can even hike to a private beach!"

What campers like

Secluded glamping experiences: Maine's coastal yurt options provide woodland isolation. A winter visitor to Maine Forest Yurts shared, "We brought snow shoes and ice cleats and had a beautiful walk around the properties trails. It was extremely cold during our stay and I was surprised how well the wood stove worked to keep us toasty."

Clam digging at low tide: Coastal campgrounds offer tidal flats for shellfish harvesting. At Sagadahoc Bay Campground, "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. Plenty of clamming and watching wild life like hermit crabs, crabs, seagulls."

Family-oriented activities: Structured recreation for children enhances camping experiences. At Freeport/Durham KOA, "Kid 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!"

Seafood delivery services: Several campgrounds offer freshly caught seafood prepared on-site. A Meadowbrook camper reported, "Lobsters for sale straight out of the tank cooked and delivered to your site every day. Don't forget to add corn and potatoes. Fire pits are stone and awesome."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Most Freeport-area glamping accommodations close during winter months. A camper noted, "Seasonal operation generally runs from May through October, with most glamping accommodations requiring advance reservations during peak summer months."

Mosquito preparation: Coastal Maine camping requires insect protection. At Hermit Island Campground, a camper warned, "Mosquitos are a problem. Last time we were there I was packing up for bed, making sure everything was closed and put away, and my cat rubbed against my leg... Only it wasnt my black and white housecat, yup, big fluffy skunk with no fear."

Electrical limitations: Some campgrounds have power challenges. One camper at Meadowbrook Camping reported, "The sites are not level and most are not shaded or very wide. We also had brown water and were extremely thankful for our multiple water filters. We paid for a 30 amp service, but had low voltage the entirety of our stay."

Site selection strategy: Location within campgrounds significantly impacts experience. A visitor to Hermit Island advised, "Campsites do not have any electricity, there is no water at the sites, but most water faucets are a short walk. No radios or music allowed in the campground. No cell service (you may be able to get a little at the office)."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Campgrounds with play areas provide entertainment for children. At Chewonki Campground, "Small family owned campground with a variety of people enjoying piney Maine scenery. Salt water pool, walking or biking trails, boats to use. Situated on a river/inlet."

Farm animal interactions: Educational opportunities enrich family stays. A Wolfe's Neck visitor shared, "My kids enjoyed visiting with the farm animals and walking along the rocky shore each day. Plenty to do between biking, kayaking, farm experience and visiting downtown Freeport close by."

Halloween activities: Special seasonal events create memorable experiences. At Freeport/Durham KOA, "The Halloween celebration is really well done- campers decorate their sites, there is an in-costume parade, and the central, bigger rigs are set up for trick or treating. The haunted house is scary enough that I waited by the exit! (This part is NOT for the little kids)."

Site privacy considerations: Some campgrounds offer more separation between campsites. A Hermit Island camper observed, "Most campsites have a lot of privacy. You're neighbors are not right on top of you like most campgrounds I've been to. The sites are a good size, at times being able to fit 3 maybe 4 tents in a pinch."

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Terrain varies significantly across the region. At Meadowbrook Camping, "We camped in a 45' RV and wanted a 50 amps full hook-up site severely limited our choices. We were assigned a pull thru that had such a steep incline we determined it best to actually back into the site so we didn't bottom out."

Site selection strategy: Field positions offer different advantages than wooded sites. At Freeport/Durham KOA, "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."

Seasonal site availability: RV-suitable glamping options in Freeport have limited operating seasons. As noted at Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground, "They have wooded area plus they also have an open areas to camp, always seems to be quiet well mannered Place, staff is excellent to work with."

Water access considerations: Waterfront sites provide scenic views but may have specific restrictions. At Sagadahoc Bay, "We spent the night in one of the Oceanfront RV spots. The RV spots are in a very open field, but they are directly on the water. When the tide goes out you have the entire inlet to walk around in and explore."
