Littlefield Beaches Campground includes 135 pet-friendly sites along the shores of South Pond in Greenwood, Maine. Pets are welcome across all accommodation types including tent sites, RV hookups with water and electric connections, and cabin rentals. The campground operates seasonally from May 15 through September 25. Nearby, Papoose Pond Family Campground and Cabins accepts pets at their spacious wooded sites, with options ranging from standard tent areas to full-amenity cabins with private bathrooms. Both campgrounds feature picnic tables and fire rings at each site with firewood available for purchase. The campground area on the pool side provides more spacious and private sites than the pond side, with good distance between neighboring campers. Clean bathrooms, showers, and sanitary dump stations are maintained for camper convenience.
White Mountains Camping on Little Larry Road offers primitive pet-friendly dispersed camping options for those seeking a more rustic experience with dogs. For RV campers with pets, Stony Brook Recreation and Campground provides full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections. Hiking trails accessible from several campgrounds accommodate leashed dogs, with Crocker Pond's seven sites offering direct water access for dogs who enjoy swimming. The pond water is pristine with light breezes coming off the mountains creating perfect conditions for outdoor recreation. Wildlife encounters are common in the area, so maintaining control of pets is essential. Pet owners report the Bethel area provides several veterinary options within reasonable driving distance, though advance research is recommended for emergency services availability.
"If you bring yoyr own kayaks there is a ruver with a take out close to the campground. U could walk back or drive in with a truck for pick up! This place is amazing! Will continue to go every year!"
"Perfect spot to relax and get away from everything. Great amount of amenities and privacy."
"Into the Whites from West Bethel, Crocker Pond is an off the beaten path car camping destination. Beautiful place to set up camp for a night to 14 days."

"Sites are a little close to each other, but they're very long. Great pool, fun rec room area (we learned how to play shuffleboard!) We were the 2nd tiny house there!"

"There was a very cool suspension bridge to take you to on a walk to a private island. I definitely plan on visiting again!"
"These campsites are located on a dead end dirt road. The campsites are spread out so you are not on top of each other (I think there are only 8 sites on the road.) "
"Highwater trail with bridge close by. Great stars. Creek runs through road near sites good for getting water to filter or washing. Trailhead at end of road."
"This campground is privately owned and is situated in an amazing spot in the mountains of Western Maine."

Check Availability"Great privacy, lots of room, river for the dogs, gorgeous area!!"
"There were plenty of sites to choose from and most (not all) had access to the river as well as a fire ring. Sites were on a dirt road, but it was quiet for the most part."
ScoutThe grounds are well maintained with flowers planted everywhere. Staff is extra friendly. Bathrooms and showers could use updating but were spotless. Very pet friendly with dog park, agility equipment, dog pond and dog wash.
GuideThe Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.
We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.
There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.
The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!
This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!
We had a great trip and will definitely be back!
ScoutWe enjoyed our stay here and our dog loved the dog park! We would highly recommend this campground.
TravelerUpon arrival staff was nice. They did ask for $10 cash gate card fee. At the time of rival I did not have cash on me. They did allow me to pay it later on during our visit. As we traveled the road to our camp site I was disappointed in the condition of the roads and how tight everything is. Again, the campsite was beautiful with access and frontage on the pond. I was also not impressed with the dog park it was quite a hike from our campsite and near the office. It would have been nicer to have the dog park in the camping area. The day we were leaving we made a special trip to the atm, to get the required $10 cash fee. As we departed I went into the office to check out, return the gate card, and pay the fee. At that time, I handed the clerk the $10 and explained that I owed it. She in turn explained that I did not owe them any money as the $10 was a deposit in case you did not return the card. I was less than impressed with how that was explained at the beginning and the additional trip we had to make.
TravelerIt was an easy campground to navigate. We were so fortunate, we stayed at another campground and check out was at noon. We were sitting on the side of the foothills entrance ( check in time was 2:00), the owner allowed us to enter early. I would like to thank him very much for that. The new owners are working diligently on updating the facilities and working very hard doing it. While we were there they were working on one of the roads that got a bit washed out, and also working on updating the dog park. Campground is very clean. Only draw back was it is very close to Route 16 and some places in campground were a bit noisy. We were so happy to have visited this site!
TravelerWe chose this campground because it was close to a festival we wanted to check out. Upon arrival we could not find the office. We had to stop a camper who was walking and ask her where the office was. The workers were less than helpful. To many seasonal campers. The sites were to close. The owners were dog breed prejudice. There was a whole paper full of rules if you brought a pet. We are big dog lovers of all breeds and took offense to them being so against certain breeds even being on there property. I will say that the bathrooms were very clean and seemed new.
LegendI 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.
GuideWinslow Park and Campground is a busy 100 campsite and park run by the town of Freeport, ME.
We stayed in site #1 and were pleasantly surprised to not have any neighbors that night, which meant our site seemed larger than it ordinarily would have. The sites are small- similar to what you would find in an RV park. They are large enough to fit long class A and large tow vehicles into, but not much room is left between you and your neighbors, and there are few if any trees separating the sites.
There are warm showers, but we did not find them to be very clean. Regardless, we did enjoy our stay at Winslow. There was a concert going on when we arrived, but the park was less busy when everyone left for the night. The sunrise over the bay view we had was absolutely incredible- we loved our waterfront view and it was definitely the best park about this site.
At $50, this was also one of the more expensive sites we’ve stayed at. The view was definitely worth the price, but I don’t know if I would stay again simply because the RV park feel isn’t really our favorite aesthetic.
Either way, we appreciated the proximity to Freeport and the amenities and view at the time!
Of note: we visited the House of Hounds on Sniffspot the next morning so our dog could run and play- that ended up being one of our favorite things we have done on this trip. Omar has a beautiful open field that he lets people bring their dogs to play in and it was absolutely divine- especially since our guy doesn’t love other dogs so we can’t rely on dog parks for exercise. He enjoyed having the whole field to himself!
TravelerA beautiful place with a farm, campground and state park all together! There are tenting spots, camper spots and field spots. I recommend any with tree coverage. There are bathrooms close by to all, the main lodge is nice and the food at the snack shack is sooo good!! burgers, pizza, salad- all local and from their gardens. The working farm is open to visit and walk around. Pet the baby cows and see the pigs and goats. they have a ton of activities going on through the summer. Our huge tent site was $60 for a busy August weekend. totally reasonable! we had a lovely time despite the rain and will try to go again next year! The grounds are a short drive to downtown Freeport for shopping at the outlets and LLBean.

Hiking nearby trails: Several campgrounds provide direct access to hiking paths. At Crocker Pond, "A trail lead directly out of the campsite to another pond about a mile away offering a short round trip afternoon hike. Further up the road, about a mile from the campground, the Mt. Albany trailhead offers a longer and more challenging hike up to the summit as well as connection to other trails in the area," according to Shari G.
River activities: Bethel Outdoor Adventure and Campground offers river access and livery service. "The park rents kayaks, canoes, and tubes and has a shuttle service that will take you up river for so you can float back to the campground. We used the campgrounds shuttle livery service to take our kayak and paddleboard up river for a leisurely float down the river so we could enjoy the scenery, have a picnic, and fish," says Nancy W.
Kid-focused programming: Papoose Pond Family Campground and Cabins runs daily structured activities. "Tuesday trivia, Wednesday beach party, Thursday dance party, and Friday karaoke- the latter being the most fun! There are so many things for kids to do throughout as well, there's very little time for down time or boredom!!" according to Jessica W.
Gem mining experience: Some campgrounds offer educational activities beyond traditional recreation. "They have a sluice on the property, where (for a fee) you can get a bucket of mined material and get to sort through it looking for minerals and gems. Whatever you find, you keep," explains Nancy W. about Bethel Outdoor Adventure.
Quiet forest settings: White Mountains Camping on Little Larry Road offers primitive but peaceful campsites. "It's easy to forget there are other people camping on other sites because they're so far apart. It's wonderfully relaxing and quiet," writes Amanda B. This dispersed camping area has 8 sites with no facilities but provides exceptional privacy.
Clean waterways: Campers consistently mention water quality in this region. At Crocker Pond, "The water was pristine and the barred owls were singing," writes Dennis B. Another camper, Drew P., notes the "light breeze coming off the mountains is absolutely perfect" at this location.
Well-maintained grounds: Grafton Notch Campground receives praise for its upkeep. "It is obvious that Moe takes great pride in her campground with many little touches like flowers and seasonal, yet tasteful decorations," says Lee D. Multiple reviews mention the immaculate bathrooms and showers.
Spacious campsites: Finding the right site location matters. At Papoose Pond, "The campsite was large and private with good distance between the next sites. We were on the pool/rec hall side and it definitely seemed less condensed over there than the pond side," according to Kaileigh K.
Early arrival recommended: For non-reservable campgrounds, timing matters. At Crocker Pond, "Not all sights have drive in access so get here early," advises bwillz1986 W. This small 7-site campground fills quickly, especially on summer weekends.
Road noise factors: Stony Brook Recreation and Campground offers full hookups and amenities but with a tradeoff. "The campground is located off Route 2 which is fairly convenient but the road noise was pretty loud as this is a heavily trafficed road," notes Nancy W.
Campground layouts vary: Campground sides matter at several locations. At Papoose Pond, "Pond side is a lot more crowded and desired so if you're more into a quiet experience, stick to pool side," advises Jessica W.
Camping seasons limited: Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from mid-May through early October. The limited operating window makes for excellent summer conditions but requires advance planning for specific dates.
Activity planning: Martin Stream Campground offers structured programming. "Zach is an excellent host," says Tim M., while another camper notes there are "daily activities and keeps the place looking absolutely beautiful!" Many campgrounds feature game areas and equipment rentals.
Bathroom locations: Consider site proximity to facilities with children. "My one con is the location of public restrooms. There aren't many, hence why we stay on a site with our own, and some are extremely far away from campsites that don't allow campers," explains Jessica W. about Papoose Pond.
Water safety measures: Waterfront sites require child supervision. Most pond-side campgrounds lack lifeguards but offer swim areas. "The pond is amazing," notes Kelley H. about Papoose Pond, though parents should always monitor children near water.
Entertainment options: Family-focused campgrounds offer structured programming. "We tie dyed as an activity as a family and in turn had a great souvenir to bring home," shares Angela M. about her stay at Papoose Pond during Memorial Day weekend.
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have terrain challenges. At Lakeside Pines Campground, "The road is tight so be prepared to drive close to trees," warns Katie B., indicating larger RVs may have access difficulties.
Hookup locations: Check sewer connections before setting up. "Our sewer was uphill at our site which is a big pet peeve of ours and super annoying when it comes to empty the tanks," shares Nancy W. about Bethel Outdoor Adventure.
Seasonal camper presence: Many campgrounds host long-term residents. At Martin Stream Campground, "It was a little odd with everyone seeming to be friendly and already knowing one another," notes Catherine M., while at Lakeside Pines, "a lot of the surrounding seasonals didn't turn off they're canopy lights or party lights all night making it very bright."
Size limitations: For larger RVs, select campgrounds carefully. "If you have a larger RV beware what site you choose if you need to back in as some sites are narrow and weird angles," warns Claire T. about Pleasant River Campground, adding "The front of the campground has a better section for bigger rigs."
