What to do
Kayaking access points: At Sennebec Lake Campground, water activities dominate summer recreation. "We love the proximity to the lake with easy access for kayaking and swimming," notes Pam A. The campground's lakefront location provides direct water entry for paddlers.
Hiking trails nearby: Megunticook Campground offers access to multiple hiking paths. "There's quite a few hiking trails located in the town around the campground," explains Becky T. Most trails are moderate difficulty with some climbing sections that reward hikers with coastal views.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Morning and evening hours offer prime opportunities to observe native wildlife from cabin porches or waterfront areas. "During our stay at Sennebec Lake Campground, remarkable service provided a seamless experience," writes Jason G., who also noted the blend of "relaxation and adventure for the kiddos" with nature observation opportunities.
What campers like
Cabin variety: Cabin styles range from basic wood structures to more equipped accommodations. "We stayed in the cabins and a few of our guests camped," says Ashley S. about Duck Puddle Campground. "Obviously we're fond of it for emotional reasons but it's also just a great spot. The owners are great people."
Ocean viewpoints: Coastal cabin locations offer memorable sunrise opportunities. "The ocean overlook is beautiful in the morning sunrise," Jess Y. observes about Megunticook Campground. Water-adjacent cabins typically cost 25-50% more than standard wooded sites but provide direct water access.
Community atmosphere: Many cabin guests appreciate the social aspects of these smaller campgrounds. "The weekend we stayed they happened to be celebrating 'Christmas in July' and so a lot of the campers had put up lights and decorated. They had a band play on Sat night and large bonfire. Everyone was invited to attend if they wanted to," reports Rachel S. about Duck Puddle Campground.
What you should know
Bathroom facilities: Bathhouse quality varies significantly between properties. "The bathhouse was very clean and there are both outdoor and indoor showers; both looked nice although we did not use them," notes Lee D. about Megunticook Campground. Some cabins include private facilities while others require shared bathhouse use.
Noise considerations: Road proximity affects some properties more than others. "The sites here are nicely wooded and have a decent amount of separation between most of them BUT the campground is located too close to the road and, with the exception of sites 84-87 and cabins 8-10, you will hear road noise in your site," explains Lee D. about Megunticook Campground.
Seasonal operation: Most cabins near Liberty operate from May through mid-October. "We've stayed at Duck Puddle several times over the years. The sites have always been tidy and staff friendly," writes Alison about Town Line Camping. Nearly all campgrounds with cabins close by Columbus Day weekend.
Tips for camping with families
Playground accessibility: Campgrounds with cabins often feature play equipment for children. At Duck Puddle Campground, Rachel S. noted "Great beach for swimming, playground for playing" making it suitable for families with younger children who need regular activity options.
Kid-friendly activities: Scheduled events cater to different age groups during peak season. "Activities started up again this year, with events such as kids' crafts, a kids vs adults water gun fight, cornhole competition, and a DJ for an evening of dancing - just on the weekend we were there," reports Pam A. about Sennebec Lake Campground.
Family-sized accommodations: Most cabin units accommodate 4-6 people comfortably. "The campground's commitment to modern conveniences is evident, with amenities that bring together comfort and wilderness living," Jason G. mentions about Sennebec Lake Campground, noting it's "a sanctuary for families seeking a serene escape without sacrificing modern comforts."
Tips from RVers
Site accessibility: For those bringing RVs to cabins for extended family gatherings, approach conditions matter. "We have a 35ft RV, and we faced no issues getting in and out of the property and the sites across the water were level, with no extra leveling needed," shares Jason G. about Searsport Shores Ocean Campground.
Laundry facilities: Extended stays often require laundry access. "There is a small arcade, store, and 24/7 laundry," notes Pam A. about Sennebec Lake Campground, making it suitable for longer cabin rentals where guests need to refresh clothing.
Camp store provisions: On-site stores stock essentials but have limited inventory. "The shop was amazingly well stocked," reports Suetta T. about Sennebec Lake Campground, though most cabin guests should bring specialty items or personal preferences since camp stores focus on staples and emergency supplies.
