Pawtuckaway State Park Campground
Great spot with all types of different campsites.
2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Lebanon, Maine features several RV parks with varying amenities and site configurations. Cole's Mine RV Resort and Campground in Lebanon provides electric hookups, water connections, and sewer hookups for travelers. Sites accommodate big rigs with fire rings and picnic tables included. Thousand Trails Moody Beach, located approximately 25 miles from Lebanon, offers full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service, while Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort in Wells features premium RV sites with full hookups. Most parks operate seasonally, typically from late April through mid-October with limited availability during off-seasons. "Sites are not too close, clean bathrooms, friendly service," noted one visitor about area campgrounds.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and holiday weekends when coastal Maine RV parks reach capacity. Sanitary dump stations are available at several facilities including Thousand Trails Moody Beach and Wild Acres Sun RV Resort in Old Orchard Beach. Cell service varies throughout the region with stronger coverage near coastal areas. Between late fall and early spring, many parks close completely or operate with reduced services. Pet policies differ between parks, with most allowing pets but imposing restrictions on certain breeds or requiring leashes. Propane fill services are limited, requiring travelers to locate refill stations in nearby towns. Road access to most campgrounds accommodates large motorhomes, though Maine's coastal routes occasionally present tight turns or narrow passages that demand careful navigation.
"There are a myriad of sites including rustic tent, cabins, and full hook-up RV sites that accommodate the largest of RV’s. Wifi and cable are available and sites have picnic tables and fire pits."
"They have a nice pool, free showers, nice laundry facility. They even have breakfast in the morning. Mainly pancakes and bacon."
"More of a festival than an RV resort. Extremely crowded, close sites, and heavy car traffic in walking and bike areas. Sun night was way quieter than Fri and Sat night."
"This was a nicely shaded and quiet park, even with kids running around. There was a nice pool for the kiddos, as well as kayaks and water toys for the pond, which looks like a lake."
from $60 - $400 / night
"Pros: Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, clean grounds, gated campground with card key access in/out of the grounds, 2 pools (closed for the season during our stay), pavilion, activities/entertainment, fairly"
"Beautiful campground, clean facilities, decently priced. The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!"
"They have full hookups to 50 amp as well as primitive tent sites. They have tons of amenities and themed areas. Great place to stay the week or the season."

"We came in in October, the foliage is beautiful on the “wooded” sites. There are new sites with gravel and no trees as well, we had our choice."
"Pet friendly also. You will love it here."
"Camped with a whole bunch of friends.This place has all of the amenities. As well as countless outdoor activities. Fun for the whole family! Swimming, fishing, hiking, climbing (near by), biking."
"This campground is mostly seasonal, privately owned park models, but has 45 spaces for RV’s."
"The close location to dining, motorcycle rides, wide/grassy sites and quietness all contribute to a very good stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful if needed."
"My wife and I enjoy riding our bikes on rail trails. This quiet campground is about a mile from the Eastern Trail through the Scarborough Marsh. This campground is small but well maintained."
"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. "
"Turtle Kraal RV campground is a gated RV campground just outside Alton Bay NH. Lots of great restaurants, ice cream shops and water activities are nearby! "












Great spot with all types of different campsites.
Bear camp River campground is a great place to camp for a weekend or be a seasonal. You can walk 6/10 of a mile to the covered bridge nearby and float right down to the beach at the campground or you can start on one side of the campground and float to the other via river for a good 30 minute float!! You get to Camp right on the Riverside. Owners (Mike and Tabby ) are great. Good place for the kids to run around and explore. The Camp store has sweatshirts and sweatpants , candy and snacks ,s’mores kits, and much much more. They also sell wood and ice on site. There is also hot showers for free, and bathrooms. Two thumbs up from this happy camper.
This campground is mostly seasonal, privately owned park models, but has 45 spaces for RV’s. I was a little skeptical about staying at this campground with so many park models and seasonals but was pleasantly surprised at how nice, clean, and tidy all the sites were. They obviously take pride in how things look because the grounds and campsites were very well-kept.
All campsites are 50/30-amp full hook-up with level gravel pads with grassy patios, a picnic table, and fire pit. We stayed in site#702 which was long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. All the utilities were easy to reach and the electric worked well. The only problem was that we were parked under a large oak tree that was profusely shedding large acorns. There are some sites that are in the open which I would definitely choose, if I came back in the fall. The campground is gated which is a nice feature. It is located a mile or so off Route 1 which means you don’t get the road noise and traffic, but still conveniently located near shops and restaurants.
One nice feature are the shaded walking trails in the park. While they are not super long, it is a nice change from walking the roads (which are paved). Other amenities include a decent size swimming pool (closed while we were there), a basketball court, playground, laundry, and camp store. I thought it was a little expensive at $75/night (for full hook-up) at the end of the season, especially since the pool was closed.
We stopped here in the summer to check out the coastal towns in southern Maine. There are many campgrounds in the area and we chose this one because they had a 25% off coupon (on a 7-night stay) which gave us the best nightly price in the area. However, the nightly rate was still$74/night, one reason being they charge a “resort fee” of$15/day which is ridiculous. This is a typical resort-style campground with lots of amenities (most of which we never use). But, for some people, this is a destination campground because of all the amenities- a large heated swimming pool, basketball courts, sand volleyball, bocce, fitness center, two playgrounds, 18-hole minigolf (that you pay extra for), and more.
The campsites in the front of the park are sandwiched between the swimming pool and Route 1 which is very busy and noisy. Campsites in the far back portion of the campground are shaded and a much quieter section. Camping pads and patios are a mix of gravel and sand. Many sites have shade and some have an astroturf patio (I think those are “premium” sites). Our campsite was in the middle section which was fairly quiet but the sites are close together with no privacy. The site was a long and level pull thru with a gravel pad and gravel/sand patio. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit.
There is a tent-only section and they have renal cabins. There is lots to do for families in the area including the beach and amusement and water parks. Restaurants of all sorts are nearby. You can easily walk to Congdon’s Donuts which is a Maine classic.
This is a nice, clean, well-maintained campground for RV and tenting. The campground is located on Route 1 which means you are convenient to a lot of things but there is lots of traffic. Half the campground is seasonal/long term campers and the other side is mostly transients. The roads and campsites are fine crushed gravel with nice grassy patios. The campground is very well maintained (the best part being that the mower collects they cut the grass so no clippings get tracked in your camper). There are some mature trees that provide shade but don’t impede navigating in and out of sites or impacting slide outs.
Campsites range from tent with water/electric to RV water/electric and RV full hook-up 50-amp and full hook-up 30-amp. There are three bathhouses on the property (one of which has a dishwashing sink) and laundry. Tent sites 50-55 are in an are set away from RV sites and more private. They are also close to a large bathhouse with multiple toilets and showers. Tent sites 90-100 are across from a large playground which can be quite chaotic, but if you have kids, this is a great spot.
Our site (#147) was a long pull-thru with a descent amount of space between our neighbors. We got about half a dozen over-the-air channels (one being a major network station) and were able to connect with eastern arc satellites with our Dish Satellite. The 50A electric was good as was the water pressure.
The campground does not have much in the way of amenities except for a game room, basketball court, and playground. The game room is pretty cool with lots of arcade-style games, a pool table, foosball, and table tennis. While we were there, they just finished putting in all new playground equipment and enlarged the size making it really big and a hit with the kids in the park. Once convenience is that maintenance picks up garbage at your site (between 8am– 3pm). Unfortunately, people leave them out after hours and animals got into them and scattered garbage everywhere. We've stayed here before and always enjoy being in the area as it is close to the fun cities of Portsmouth and Newburyport.
Oceanfront camping at its best—full hookups just steps from the beach. Located in popular Hampton Beach, you'll be close to nightly bandshell concerts and vibrant nightlife. There is a lottery system in place for stays during the summer.
Gorgeous pond filled with lily pads!
Nice and peaceful spot with a trail that leads to a brook in the woods! Beautiful fall leaves throughout property
Showers were a bit cold. Site had rubbish scattered about.
Lebanon, Maine campgrounds sit in York County's pine-dotted countryside, just 12 miles inland from the Atlantic coast. Summer humidity ranges from moderate to high with temperatures averaging 75-85°F, while spring and fall months see cooler 50-65°F averages. The area's low elevations and rolling terrain make for relatively accessible camping, though tent sites can become muddy after rainfall.
Beach access trips: A short 20-minute drive brings campers from Lebanon's RV parks to Old Orchard Beach. "There is a shuttle that takes you to the beach which is convenient. During the shoulder season dogs are allowed on the beach but not the summer," notes a reviewer at Saco Old Orchard Beach KOA.
Scarborough Marsh paddling: Launch kayaks near the RV parks in Lebanon to explore coastal wetlands. "If you have kids and like water parks, Funtown Splashtown USA is a popular place especially on warm days and just down the street," shares a visitor about activities near the KOA.
Eastern Trail biking: Access this rail trail from nearby campgrounds for a scenic cycling experience. "This quiet campground is about a mile from the Eastern Trail through the Scarborough Marsh. This campground is small but well maintained," reports a guest at Wild Duck Adult Campground.
Pine-shaded sites: Mature trees at Lebanon area campgrounds provide natural cooling. "The campground sits among tall pine trees which offer nice shade helps alleviate some of the feel of a crowded campground," describes a camper about their stay at Saco Old Orchard Beach KOA.
Kid-friendly amenities: Multiple pools and play areas make family camping convenient. "The playground/pool was nice and the Maine blueberry pancakes were amazing! There was a trolley to the beach but lots to do at the campground too," shares a guest about their experience at the KOA.
On-site dining options: Some Lebanon area RV parks offer food service directly within the campground. "One of the nice features was the on-site restaurant which claims to be famous for their 'blueberry pancakes' and also offers Belgian waffles, pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs," mentions a visitor.
Train noise considerations: Some campgrounds marketed as oceanside have railway tracks between them and the water. "The campground map is missing the train tracks that are between the campground and the ocean. The trains all blow there horn and you will hear it if your at one of the site 'by the ocean'," warns a visitor at Wild Acres Sun RV Resort.
Mosquito preparedness: Coastal marsh proximity means insects can be prevalent. "The only negative of this place was the mosquitoes. They were TERRIBLE. In the time it took after we parked the camper, to when I could dig the bug spray out of our truck I was covered in bites," reports a camper at Wild Duck Adult Campground.
Bathhouse maintenance varies: Check recent reviews for updated facility conditions. "The bathrooms and showers were really clean and you constantly saw yellow-shirted people busily working," notes a reviewer about their KOA experience.
Theme-based experiences: Some RV parks near Lebanon feature immersive environments. "This place is well payed out and very well taken care of. The pool is heated and has an amazing water slide and themed," explains a camper at Cole's Mine RV Resort and Campground.
Entertainment options: Campgrounds often schedule regular activities. "Kid activities were done regularly. Pizza and breakfast is very good if you do lunch want to cook. Outdoor movies were fun," shares a visitor about their KOA experience.
Playground access: Check for updated play equipment for different age groups. "We loved that were able to stay right next to each other and were still in nice wooded sites with an awesome space for the fire. There were also many options for different size cabins some with their own bathrooms/showers," notes a camper.
Site configuration awareness: Some campgrounds have unusual parking layouts. "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," observes a visitor at Thousand Trails Moody Beach.
Premium site locations: Request specific site numbers when booking. "We lucked out with our cabin and the cul-de-sac it was in. It overlooked the woods and was a bit more secluded than many of the other sites. KK15, K3, K2 and K1 are great options as well, located along the wooded edges of the grounds," suggests a camper.
Reservation timing: Campgrounds fill quickly during high season. "This is one of my top campgrounds visited. The close location to dining, motorcycle rides, wide/grassy sites and quietness all contribute to a very good stay," comments a guest at Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort.
