    Bearbrook Pros and Cons

    Con: Signage is awful! Hard to find park, office and cabins! Once there, Looong drive to both campground and Cabins.

    Pro: cabins are on a remote lake. Perfect for star gazing! Rustic but comfy (beds) cabins. Bring all your own stuff. No electricity, so no lights. Our cabin had a steep path. Others did not.

    Sea Coast Camping and RV Resort

    Small, clean, quiet campground close to NH beaches and Portsmouth NH

    Friendly staff, hard gravel access roads, level gravel sites. No issues with electric, sewer or water hookups. Some of the best clear, clean, drinking water at high pressure we have come across. Great access to beaches, numerous eateries and shopping minutes away. This is our second time we have been here and here for the month of September.

    I would reccomend Seacoast RV Park to other campers.

    What you get in southern Me

    A friendly place but very crowed campground and tight getting a 21’ trailer in. About 1/2 of the sites are seasonal. Lots of beach traffic in the area and while we are glad we stoped by we wouldn’t go back

    Huge campground

    I only stayed one night because I couldn’t find a spot anywhere close to 95 . The campground is huge and the spaces are very tight ,not to mention $148 for a full hook up pull thru site that my 42 ft 5w barley fit. I would not go back .

    Great time with kids

    We had a great time here camping with our kids and grandkids. River is not much to look at but the pool was great and there were great events like foam parties, DJ at the pool, pancake breakfast and live music to name a few. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Great Community Park

    This is a great campsite. So many amenities that work. Great sense of community. Overly friendly people at the front desk that are accommodating. The spaces are very close to each other. The Wi-Fi does not work very well (WFH employees trying to see the world). Other than the Wi-Fi, everything exceeded our expectations.

    Best campground on earth!

    This is my favorite campground by a mile! The people here are so friendly and accommodating, the campground facilities are clean and well kept, the kids activities are top notch, and the free trolly to Old Orchard Beach and Pine Point Beach is so convenient and the drivers are AMAZING. The nightly entertainment is also outstanding, especially the hypnotist. There are three nice pools, several playgrounds, two stores, a mini golf course, several ponds for fishing, and a really great restaurant with a huge selection of foods and decent prices. There’s also an adult pool with its own bar and restaurant that’s also very good! They serve a yummy brunch too. I really can’t say enough about Bayley’s. We travel 9.5 hours to come here each year and when we arrive, it simply feels like home. Old Orchard Beach is beautiful and is just a 5 minute trolly ride away. Just come! And don’t forget to bring your boogie boards!!

    Thousand Trails Moody Beach

    Nice for one or two nights

    The 30 amp sites are very close together.

    The campground layout is quite unusual, with campers parked lengthwise along the road. This means that you share the space where you sit outside with the camper behind you, resulting in very little privacy. It feels cramped, and you’re constantly close to your neighbors. If you’re looking for a peaceful, secluded camping experience, this setup might not be ideal.

    The facilities are ok but dated and could be cleaner. The beach is a short 15-minute walk.

    For children, there is a swimming pool, a basketball court and a small playground

    All in all, this is a good campground if you are on the road and want to spend a night or two exploring the area.

    Dirty and uninviting

    This is one of the dirtiest camp grounds I’ve been to.  It smelled of septic gas and trash.  The bathrooms were disgusting, the pool and playground were a slimy mess.  Camp sites are small and buggy.  Open septic line everywhere.  Picnic tables were all rotten.  Not a pleasant stay at all.  This is a trailer park not a camp ground.

    Enjoyable and memorable experience

    Autumn Hills Campground is AWESOME! It’s remotely located and the amenities and activities are amazing, something for everyone! The staff is so friendly and helpful and I can’t say enough how clean the bathrooms, laundry room and store are! The super nice owners, Adam& Jennifer are constantly making upgrades and changes and have really created a beautiful, family oriented campground! I recommend you take the virtual tour online so you can pick a sight that works for you and book it soon.

    Quiet campground on Scarborough Marsh

    We stayed for 3 nights in late July.   The campground is peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear - it is quite relaxing.   The trees are quite tall and create a lovely canopy overhead.   There is some road traffic noise, but it’s minimal.  The sites that face the marsh are the best sites - they have some grass and lovely views.  We were in site 5, which faces the woods and was dirt.  It had a slight bump in it which made hooking and unhooking our travel trailer a little difficult.   The sites are close together, and do not have any foliage buffers between them.  The bathrooms were very clean.   The people we met who worked at the camp were friendly and helpful.   It is within a mile of the Audubon center, where you can either put in your own kayak/canoe or rent one.   The Eastern Trail is 1.3 miles away,  and good for walking, running or gravel biking.

    Nice, Clean but crowded, and most sites are close together

    This was my first time staying at Bear Brook, it's an easy campground to get to, once you get to the west gate it's about a 4-mile drive to the campground, if you're coming from the east it's about 1.5 miles.

    The first impression was impressed by the size and how organized everything was. Check-in was easy, then driving to my site (#7) took a minute.

    That's when I realized the sites were 4' apart in the section I was staying in. Other sites on each end are further apart.

    The campground has a beach, a playground, a Ball field, and a store. The roads are all easy to drive on but narrow.

    Peaceful and great location

    We enjoyed this campground! The staff upon arrival was so nice. It was so quiet at night! Got to walk to hike Gunstock. Wished there was a restaurant within walking distance. But not a show stopper. We will be back!

    If I could do negative I would

    So my fiance and I we had called and asked if they had tent sites they put us at 9T ( which to any other campground T with the number means tent) but the owner comes up this morning being a complete ass saying that it wasn’t a tent site & that we requested to move sites and now all of a sudden it was a problem so paid 60?which was supposed to be paid for two nights & basically told that we had to pack up and leave with no refund & a very sour taste in my mouth from that campground. I will never return

    It was just ok.

    It was an ok experience. We don’t like the campsites being sideways or parallel to the road, it feels strange. Bathrooms were down for cleaning but when they opened they smelled of bleach and still had gobs of hair in the drains of multiple shower stalls.

    Great Stopover for Maine Hotspots

    I was on a long road trip and only stayed a few days mainly to see the nearby Maine hotspots - Kennebunkport and Portland. The campground is not fancy, but clean and well maintained. Many of the sites were used by long-term campers, which turns the campground into a nice little neighborhood - everyone I greeted waved or said hello. I travel solo, and felt very safe.

    Big and Friendly campground

    This campground is pretty big, sprawled out with lots to do, like tubing, cornhole, arcade, pools with slide and more. Customers service was great both at check in as well as later when getting wood delivered. Sites are descent and bathrooms are nice and modern. I would recommend this campground to my friends and family and will come back.

    Consider Thousand Trails Membership for Better Value

    Consider the Thousand Trails membership when booking this site. Our annual membership fees basically covered what it would cost to camp here for two weeks.

    The campground has good proximity to Orchard Beach and Portland. However, the spots are pretty tight, and the WiFi is awful away from the registration office. We were in the wooded area, but those camping on the outskirts seemed able to utilize their Starlink.

    The dog park and pool were small but nice. The bathroom facilities were pretty good, though they weren't cleaned as often as they should be.

    Not my norm

    While not the type of campground we normally try to book, it fit our needs for this trip perfectly. The bathrooms are clean and nice, and the landscape was well maintained. I could picture my father in law loving this place.

    Quick off highway camp site

    They charge 50 dollars for a tent site with no electric, the spots are right next to eachother and touch the bath house. There’s more rules than a state park.its easy to get in and out of.
