Kayaking in tidal waters: Explore the coastal rivers near Wild Duck Adult Campground where the waters change with the tide. "During sunrise and sunset, the marshes reflect the sun and give the perfect picture for relaxation," explains Josh G. A camper warns: "The tides are crazy in Maine so be careful if you use the boat launch that you don't get stuck on a mud flat when the 9-11' tide disappears."
Brewery visits: Craft beer enthusiasts can stay at Boothbay Craft Brewery & RV Resort where camping and craft beverages combine. "My wife and I just spent an overnight here.

What Campers Like
Waterfront options: Campers appreciate the lakeside views at Augusta West Kampground in Winthrop. "Loved our site right on the water and access to the docks for fishing & kayaking! Kids caught many sunfish & had loads of fun!" shares Heather C., who also mentions wildlife viewing opportunities: "Loved waking up to the sounds of the loons & even spotted a bald eagle!"
Adult-only atmosphere: For campers seeking quiet, the 21+ restriction at Wild Duck Adult Campground creates a peaceful environment. "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," notes Heather C. Another camper confirms: "Close to the city of Portland, about 20 minutes, but tucked away in the beautiful riverside marsh."
Family-friendly activities: Seasonal programming keeps children entertained at many campgrounds. "Wild Acres has the best of the best in OOB area. They have friendly staff all over the resort that will always make you feel at home. They have great activities every week during the summer for kids and adults and special times they have for teens," explains Tammie M.
What You Should Know
Site placement considerations: At Shore Hills Campground, location within the grounds affects experience. "Some of their 30-amp waterfront sites come with great views. They also have some sites tucked in the woods that are super wide with huge patios and lots of privacy between you and your neighbor," reports Nancy W. However, "The 50-amp full hook-up sites towards the front of the park are closer together with not as much privacy and near the road so you get some of that noise."
Bathroom facilities vary: Expect differences in shower setups across campgrounds. At Shore Hills, "It's a quarter for a shower but that's fine with me," mentions val. Wild Duck campers note, "The bathrooms were very clean," while at Boothbay Craft Brewery, visitors reported, "Very clean. Two all-in-one units with shower, sink, and toilet."
Seasonal limitations: Most RV parks near Greene operate from May through October, closing for winter. The specific dates vary, with Jellystone Park running "May 13 - Oct 10" and Augusta West Kampground opening "May 15 to September 30." Seasonal campers should note Hebron Pines Campground's shorter schedule: "Memorial Day to Labor Day."
Tips for Camping with Families
Water activities for kids: Jellystone Park Androscoggin Lake offers multiple water options. "Our family has been going annually for the last five years... This year we opted for a small group site with a centrally located fire pit and spent our days in the lake, pool, or just hanging out while our kids (ranging from 8-12) rode their bikes," shares Angela M.
Adult time planning: Parents can find breaks at family-oriented campgrounds. "For parents; live entertainment with local bands on Saturday nights, an adult only swim nightly. (Playground is close enough to the pool to actually enjoy this while listening to my kids play)," mentions Angela M. about Jellystone Park.
Activity scheduling: Look for structured programming for different age groups. "Kid activities were done regularly. Pizza and breakfast is very good if you don't want to cook. Outdoor movies were fun," explains Jill P. about camping at Wild Acres.
Tips from RVers
Hookup specifications: Augusta West Kampground provides full-service options for larger rigs. "We stayed in the 'new sites' adjacent to the entrance road; it was a long nice site with gravel but was not private," reports Quinn G. These newer sites accommodate bigger RVs while maintaining functional utilities.
Road navigation: Some RV parks have challenging entry points. At Shore Hills Campground, "the check-in area near the office is very small and tight and at times, it was very backed up and RV's were out on the main road." Consider arrival timing to avoid congestion.
Transportation alternatives: Some coastal campgrounds provide shuttle service to nearby towns, eliminating parking challenges. "During certain times of the year, the park offers a shuttle service to and from downtown which is nice because parking can be expensive (from $7-$20)," notes a Shore Hills camper.
