ScoutI’ve camped at many campgrounds on the Saco. Canal bridge is by far the best. Jeff is an amazing caretaker. Always respectful and helpful. Floating from swans falls back to the campground is absolutely beautiful. I’ll be back year after year.
GuideLovely campground near the lake. Many of the beaches were resident only so I highly recommend buying the $10 beach pass to access their private beach (There’s only two passes available so get there early) The lake was incredibly beautiful and so relaxing!
I will say site #23 is a bit of a tight squeeze, we had a travel trailer (About 21 ft) and a GMC Sierra and we had to pull the truck up tightly against the trailer so we weren’t sticking out. Wanna shout out Rick because he was so kind and very helpful!
GuideThis is a nice very quiet campground. It is off the beaten path. The bathrooms were clean and the staff pleasant. It was well kept.
TravelerSecluded walk behind camp to river or across to 2 brooks. Safe usually great camp neighbors plenty of room for small trailers or vans.
TravelerFirst to camp at opening my spot is actually spot 2 but spot 1 is covered over so appears as 1st camp. 8 spots available before bridge gate. 2 just past gate possibly more. 2 rv / trailer spots small trailers. 3 river spots beautiful one is 2 parts group campsite. Bio luminescent roots at night due to wood decomposition from logging also known as fairy glow.. Great spot just being developed again. Sites are fairly close if u have some hyper pups. Lol
TravelerWe had the best time at this campground. Everyone was super friendly, the bathrooms and showers were new and very clean and it was nice and quiet. We would come back here anytime!
TravelerSpacious sites variety of types Water electric and sewer large pool clean. Lots of new updates I recommend staying here quite peaceful
LegendCouldn’t ask for better sites, both sites 9 & 12 were very private and only a short walk through the woods to setup camp along the river. Sites are far from each other and we did not hear anyone else the whole time. Mosquitos were not bad either, but did see some large spiders and lots of other insects. No cell service once you get into the forest.
Access - Area was very easy to get to, turn onto Town Hall Road, and follow (about 5 miles) to the National Forest Welcome signage. Don’t need 4WD for get to most of the sites when the roads are dry, but very tight single lane dirt road the whole way. I did see a 5th wheel (probably 30ft long) but not sure I would attempt to bring anything larger than a teardrop here.
There are 24 sites in total, half are on the main road into the forest, and near the end take a left to access the other sites. Pretty much all sites were taken both Friday & Saturday by 7:30, we got lucky on Saturday and a spot opened just as we were leaving to find another place for the night.
ScoutWe quite enjoyed our time at Powderhorn Campground in Old Orchard Beach in Maine. Our site was one of the best sites we ever stayed at, tucked in the corner and no one next to us. The cleanliness of the whole park was above and beyond. Showers and bathrooms super clean at all times. Paved roads were great to ride bikes on. Sites were spaced appropriately, not too tight. The pool complex was very organized and offered pools, hot tubs, store, arcade, volleyball net, basketball, playground, horse shoes, shuffleboard and free mini golf. Activities were only on the weekend but that was fine with us as the proximity to the beach kept us plenty busy. There is a trolley that brings you to different areas, including the pier at the beach, restaurants, waterpark and other campgrounds.$2 per adult,$1 per child. Such a cool way to travel and cheap. To be honest I checked out Bayleys campground and Paradise Park campground and even though they may have had more to do at the campgrounds, the sites were so close together, and bayleys complex was too much. That is my opinion and I’m so happy we chose Powderhorn.

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.

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."

The haunted house is scary enough that I waited by the exit!"
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."
