Best Campgrounds near Greene, ME

Cabin camping options flourish across several campgrounds near Greene, Maine, providing a mix of rustic to modern overnight accommodations. Martin Stream Campground in nearby Turner and Jellystone Park Androscoggin Lake in North Monmouth offer cabin rentals alongside traditional tent and RV sites, creating versatile options for visitors seeking a roof overhead while enjoying the outdoors. Many campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from May through October, with most cabins requiring advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends and holiday periods.

The camping season in this part of Maine typically runs from mid-spring through mid-fall, with most facilities closing for winter. As one visitor noted, "We rented a one room cabin that was perfect for two who flew in without camping gear. Fridge, coffee pot, microwave and AC." Amenities in cabins vary significantly between campgrounds, with some offering basic shelter while others provide electricity, refrigerators, microwaves, and even air conditioning. Augusta West Kampground and Birches Lakeside Campground feature waterfront sites with cabin options that book quickly during peak season due to their popularity and limited availability.

Cabin camping experiences in the region often combine aspects of traditional camping with added comfort and convenience. Several visitors highlighted the family-friendly atmosphere at campgrounds with cabins. A camper observed that Jellystone Park "has a lot of stuff for kids including playground, pool, water slides, canoeing, kayaking, mini golf and disc golf." Many cabin sites include outdoor fire pits, picnic tables, and grills for traditional camping activities while providing shelter from weather. Seasonal variations can impact the cabin experience, with spring and fall offering quieter surroundings and more availability, while summer brings warmer temperatures ideal for swimming and water activities but also higher occupancy and potentially more noise from nearby sites.

    Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground

    Beautiful spot!

    We had a beautiful waterfront site, 10 minutes from downtown Freeport. The campground is a working farm that would be great for the kids. We will definitely be back.806

The tent campers around me were really solid people aswell.

    Chewonki Campground

    Friendly campground

    From booking to check in it was warm and welcoming. Pull in full hook up site. Coin operated shower. Clean and very well maintained. Property is very nice. Some Rt 1 noise at a distance but nothing unbearable.

    Grafton Notch Campground

    Amazing place!

    We stayed here 2 nights in late September. The campground is very neat and tidy with lots of nice touches like flowers and seasonal decorations. The sites are gravel & the paths are covered in wood chips - both make walking cleaner because you are out of the dirt and mud. There is a path to the river and 2 picnic tables by the river. The bathhouse is clean and has a large shower with plenty of places to put your soap, shampoo, etc. There are also lots of hooks in the shower and bathroom for your stuff and the shower has a large bench to sit on as you get dressed. There are 2 dishwashing stations outside the bathhouse. Horseshoes and corn hole are on site and there is a well stocked camp store. Lots of information and brochures on the area. The owner is very kind and personable - I am looking forward to coming back!

    Town Hall Road Dispersed

    Few Solar/Starlink Options

    If all we needed was a campsite with no solar or starlink, this would be 5 star review. Lots of options, great hiking in the area. But if you need solar or starlink, there’s only 1 or 2 viable spots. We were lucky to snag on one a Monday afternoon (last site before turnaround on FR38) and stayed all week.

    Duck Puddle Campground

    Great waterfront sites!

    We love coming to Duck Puddle in the shoulder season (spring and fall) when it’s quiet. 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. The lake is great for swimming and paddling.

    The rest of the campground is more busy and has the sites closer together, which isn’t our scene. Lots of fun stuff for kids to do and evening activities if you like that sort of thing.

What to do

Water activities on Cobboseecontee Lake: Birches Lakeside Campground sits on a 12-mile lake perfect for boating enthusiasts. "Really cute campground. Its perfect if you have a motor boat, pontoon, jetskii, or even a kayak! I wouldn't suggest learned to paddle board on the lake but its still a great spot for experienced paddleboarders," notes one camper.

Disc golf courses: Many campgrounds offer disc golf as an activity option. At Jellystone Park Androscoggin Lake, visitors appreciate the range of options. "Amazing campground. Has a lot of stuff for kids including playground, pool, water slides, canoeing,kayaking, mini golf and disc golf. Great sites and plenty of them," reports one reviewer.

Hiking nearby trails: Several state parks and nature trails provide hiking opportunities within 30 minutes of Greene. At Bradbury Mountain State Park Campground, visitors can access trails directly from campsites. "Nice trail that borders campground. Saw group of cyclists and hikers use it during stay," notes one camper, while another mentioned "Lots and LOTS of trails surrounding the campground. Great for biking and trail running."

What campers like

Clean facilities: Augusta West Kampground receives praise for its maintenance. "Loved our site right on the water and access to the docks for fishing & kayaking! Kids caught many sunfish & had loads of fun! Very quiet but quaint campground! Loved that the office followed COVID 19 safety and were very nice," a visitor shared.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many campgrounds offer opportunities to see local wildlife. At Poland Spring Campground, one visitor noted their specific experience: "We wanted to be able to slip into our kayaks for an early paddle with the loons, bald eagles, and herons. Had an amazing experience when loons took off from the far end of the lake and came in right beside and over us for a landing."

Farm-based camping: Some campgrounds in the region offer unique agricultural settings. Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground provides a farm experience that campers appreciate. "A beautiful place with a farm, campground and state park all together! The working farm is open to visit and walk around. Pet the baby cows and see the pigs and goats," reports one visitor.

What you should know

Site spacing varies significantly: Campgrounds in the region have different layouts and privacy levels. At Martin Stream Campground, one camper noted: "The sites are pretty much on top of one another which is the only reason it's a 4 star for me. I prefer a little more secluded. If I go back, itll probably be on either end of the season with hopefully less people."

Seasonal availability: Most campgrounds in the Greene area operate from May through October. Specific opening dates vary by location. Freeport/Durham KOA operates "April 28 to October 30" while Augusta/Gardiner KOA runs from "May 8 to October 13."

Ground conditions: Some campgrounds have unique soil characteristics that campers should prepare for. At Poland Spring Campground, one visitor reported: "Really weird dirt there also, it's like a clay of some sort and caked to the bottom of your shoes and made a mess all through the camper no matter what I did."

Tips for camping with families

Look for scheduled activities: Many campgrounds offer organized programs. At Poland Spring Campground, families find plenty to do: "We meet up with a couple Moms and their children who we don't get to see too often and make it a 'girls and kids' trip and have a blast making memories... kids ranging from 8-12 rode their bikes, made friends at the playground or participated in the activities that the camp had to offer."

Faith-based options: Some campgrounds have religious affiliations. More to Life Campground offers a Christian environment: "Christian based, Nice, clean, family friendly campground. Plenty to do with the family including a beach, playground, water activities, and crafts! Fun activities every week and a nice game room," reports one visitor.

Consider themed weekends: Several campgrounds offer special event weekends. At Freeport/Durham KOA, Halloween events are popular: "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!"

Tips from RVers

Dump station policies: RV campers should check dump station rules and fees. At Martin Stream Campground, one RVer warned: "There are no sewer hookups (which is fine) but you are only allowed ONE use at dump station upon leaving the campground. I arrived with a 1/3 tanks and wanted to dump on way into park because I was staying 3 days/nights and they said ok but you can't dump on the way out. I asked if I could pay for a second dump and it was $30."

Site length considerations: Some campgrounds offer varied site sizes. The Freeport/Durham KOA 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."

Road conditions: Internal campground roads can affect RV access. At Poland Spring Campground, one camper reported challenges with navigation: "Practically destroyed my camper getting in and out of the campground thanks to the way they tell you to get to your site (unnecessarily making me loop through the whole damn place instead of taking the straight shot in) Trees and roots everywhere making it impossible to take turns."
