Best Glamping near Kittery, ME

Awesome campground. Beautiful setting, lots of trees, bordering on beautiful marsh area. Many different types of campsites: rent, RV, seasonal RV, cottages, glamping tents and cabins etc. We stayed at site 4 in Beach Rose area. Loved it. Super well maintained, owners invested a ton in upgrades. Cleanest bathrooms and showers (individual stalls) we’ve ever seen. Great location - can walk to beach on dyke road, good hiking nearby at Steele Nature Preserve. Good road biking with shoulders on many roads. Awesome place, we would return. Note that it used to be called Salty Acres but was renamed Sandy Pines.

I tent camped here with my two kids (age 6 and 4) in 2018. I think they have gotten a bit fancier since, with more glamping options (there were some gorgeous ones then too!) but tent camping there was amazing. We were deep in on a loop against the marsh, we had tree cover and it felt quiet and secluded, even with neighbors and booking relatively late so not getting first choice. Out of the craziness of town and SO close to a great locals beach. Wonderful store and facilities, beautiful pool with very natural landscaping, playground and even some simple fun activities for the kids. The very best.

This is our first visit to Sandy Pines and we are so impressed with how well groomed this property is. We stayed in the Beach Rose section and we have full hookups. We took a mid- September vacation and love how nice it is with fellow campers spread out. We are not resort campers, but this is very nice now that children are back in school. The pool is heated and very inviting. There is a playground. So many choices of cabins or glamping tents to rent. Dogs are welcome. Big rig friendly. Very close to attractions and restaurants and stores. We will be back next year with friends. We camped in our Minnie Winnie travel trailer. The Wi-Fi is hit and miss unsecured. Mostly miss.

After paying 240 bucks for two nights and then driving on a bumpy gravel road and into a small and not very flat gravel site with closer neighbors than most state parks, I was thinking that this place was going to be my first 3 star review. Buuuuuuttttt...... then we drove 1.5 miles to Goose Rocks Beach and my kids and I enjoyed one of the best beaches I have ever experienced. Absolutely perfect beach. Then we drove past the Bush Compound and downtown into Kennebunkport. Absolutely gorgeous. Then we got back to the campground and my kids and I took our paddleboards into the salt marsh directly from the campground. Stunningly clear salt water and breathtaking scenery. This campground is all about its location, and it's location is off the charts. Don't get me wrong, the campground is nice, but just not $120/night nice. There are two playgrounds, a pool, bocce court, smashball, The restrooms are clean and plentiful. The sites are closer together and less private than I would have hoped for (though ours was better than most), and I would definitely expect paved roads for the price. That being said, this was one of our favorite places ever. Would definitely come back. After touring the campground, the salt marsh loop is by far the best and most scenic. It is mostly glamping tents down there, but there were several open sites with water and electric right on the marsh, and i wondered why those weren't an option when I booked. The seasonal sites were well kept and the clientele here overall were classy.
