So much fun!
Went on a weekend and it was still very peaceful! Lots to do on such a beautiful back road. We stayed at two different sites each night we were there and both were equally beautiful and peaceful

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds near Limington, Maine range from established family-friendly facilities to more rustic options along rivers and lakes. Sebago Lake State Park Campground offers year-round camping with tent, RV, and glamping accommodations, while Acres of Wildlife Family Campground in nearby Steep Falls provides additional options including cabins and yurts. The region includes several campgrounds with water access, particularly along the Saco River, making it popular for swimming, fishing, and paddling activities.
Most campgrounds in the Limington area operate seasonally, typically from May through October, with peak season falling between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when waterfront sites fill quickly. Many developed campgrounds provide amenities such as electric hookups, drinking water, showers, and dump stations, though availability varies by location. Winter camping options are limited, with only a few facilities like Sebago Lake State Park remaining open year-round. Road access is generally good throughout the region, with most campgrounds accessible via paved roads. As one visitor noted, "The campground is well located, near the beach, shopping, and with access to Portland. Good walking, good restaurants, and a great specialty grocery store around the corner."
Campers consistently highlight water access as a primary draw to the area's campgrounds. The Saco River receives particular attention in visitor reviews, with one camper describing On the Saco Family Campground as offering "amazing views" with sites "located right along the river, just a short walk away from our car." Family-friendly amenities are common at many of the mixed-use campgrounds, with features like playgrounds, game rooms, and organized activities. Several campgrounds offer a range of accommodation types beyond traditional tent sites, including cabins, yurts, and RV hookups. While some campgrounds maintain a quieter atmosphere, others are known for being more social gathering spots, particularly during holiday weekends. Proximity to outdoor recreation opportunities, including hiking trails in the White Mountains and water activities on local lakes and rivers, makes the Limington area appealing to outdoor enthusiasts.

Very nice campground
A mix of seasonal and short term campers. Here for 3 nights I did not feel out of place at all - quite the opposite. Staff are very nice, campground is quiet, clean and has lots of amenities(laundry, games- pool, table tennis, badminton, small kids playground, kayak rental for the placid river, swimming area at the river"beach"). All sites have water and hookup. Couple of excellent tent spots right on the river. I had a small space down by the river for my tent trailer and found it quite spacious. Sites overall are somewhat close together but not overly and it remains peaceful. About 30 minute easy drive to the coast (Portsmouth, Hampton Beach etc.).

Gunstock Campground
Apparently Your Reserved Site Is More of a Suggestion
⭐**Gunstock Campground: Apparently Your Reserved Site Is More of a Suggestion**
I don't believe I have**ever** left a negative Google review. I generally think that when something goes wrong, you contact the business, give them an opportunity to make it right, and most businesses are genuinely interested in doing exactly that.
Gunstock Campground has cured me of that quaint notion.
I reserved a full-hookup campsite for two nights. I was unable to make it there the first night, but arrived shortly after 7:00 a.m. the next morning. The camp store, where registration takes place, wasn't open yet, so I headed out for my planned hike— about six miles through the Belknaps, including summiting Rowe twice and Gunstock.
By the time I returned, I was utterly exhausted, starving, and actually feeling weak. My ambitions for the afternoon were modest:**eat something, take a shower, and collapse at the campsite I had paid for.**
The staff at the camp store greeted me warmly, checked me in, and sent me on my way.
I drove to my site. There was already a camper in it. Not merely*parked* there, mind you. They had apparently moved right in. They were hooked up to**my site's water and electric**, with water spraying from their ill-fitting hose connection and forming a rather impressive puddle underneath the camper.
I returned to the camp store to report that someone had apparently activated Gunstock's new**"Choose Any Site You Like"** camping plan. A staff member went down to speak with them and came back to tell me they were "packing up." Excellent! My mistake was assuming" packing up" meant**leaving**. It did not.
Apparently these campers had actually reserved a site**two rows away** that had**no water or electric**. Yet somehow, sometime after arriving the previous night, they had accidentally found themselves two rows over, in my clearly different site, connected to utilities their reservation didn't include.
We've all made mistakes. I've occasionally parked one space away from where I intended. I've never accidentally parked**two rows away, hooked myself up to someone else's electricity and water, and spent the night.**
But perhaps I lack imagination.
After they had now consumed about an hour of my afternoon— which, incidentally, is an hour I normally bill at attorney rates— I went back toward my site expecting to find it finally vacated.
And it was! Because Gunstock had moved these folks to another site**two spaces away from me**, apparently allowing them to pay for the upgrade they had already been test-driving. So the people who knowingly or unknowingly occupied my reserved full-hookup site, used the utilities, and delayed me from getting into the site I paid for were rewarded with...a nearby full-hookup site.
They never walked over to apologize. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable staying. It's difficult to relax at a campground when you've just discovered that site assignments appear to operate somewhat on the honor system— and that when someone helps themselves to your reserved site and utilities, management's solution is apparently to make sure *they* remain comfortably accommodated nearby. So I left. On my way home, I called Gunstock and asked for a refund. Surely, I thought, this would be the easy part. After all, I had paid for two nights, hadn't used the first, couldn't get into my site when I arrived for the second, waited while unauthorized occupants vacated it, and ultimately left because the entire experience had become so unpleasant.
Nope. Instead, the staff member **defended the other campers**. I was told they arrived late and "mistakenly" took my site. I was even told they supposedly **hadn't used the utilities**. This was particularly fascinating information for me to receive because **I PERSONALLY SAW THEM HOOKED UP TO THE WATER AND ELECTRIC.** I also took photographs. Including the enormous puddle underneath their camper from the leaking water connection. But apparently my eyewitness account and photographs were no match for the alternative version of events.
For my inconvenience, however, Gunstock did give me a coupon for a **free Bavarian pretzel**. So there is that.
I paid for a full-hookup campsite. Someone else occupied it and used the hookups. I lost roughly an hour waiting to access what I had reserved. The other campers were accommodated with an upgraded site nearby. I left because I no longer felt comfortable staying. And when I asked Gunstock to make the situation right, they refused to refund me and instead argued with me about things **I had personally witnessed and photographed**. The most disappointing part isn't that another camper took my site. Campers can behave badly. Businesses can't control everything their customers do. **What a business CAN control is how it responds when that happens. ** Gunstock had every opportunity to turn this into a mildly annoying story about a camping mix-up. Instead, they turned it into my first negative Google review.
But hey... **I do have that free pretzel coupon.**

Cedar Haven Campground
Quiet
We stayed midweek and the park was 1/2 empty. Lots of kids activities. Wonderful bathrooms and showers. Great laundry. Close to Freeport but not the water
Richard P.ScoutSebago Lake Family Campground
Find a better place!
We just came back from a big family weekend there. We had 5 sites with 19 people(including children). This is by far the most rundown campground I've stayed! Only 1 bathroom facility was functioning. Of the 3 times I tried taking a shower, I only succeeded 1 time. The other 2 times(once at night and once the following morning at 6am) I only got drops coming out of the hot and cold faucets. I tried the only 2 stalls. Speaking of bathrooms...these have not been updated since the 60s-early 70s when I was camping with the same style bathroom facilities. The children's playground should be condemned!!! At least 25% of the wood is rotted. Some steps are missing from ladders. My granddaughter was swinging in the childs swing, the bottom unlatched and she fell through the bottom. If she wasn't monkey like in holding on she would have done a face plant to the ground. After looking at the swing, I found the plastic latch broken! 2 positives: the campsites are very nice! and the beach is great! Bottom line, these owners are not putting any money back into the campground and it's facilities. They are running it into the ground. I won't be coming back again!

Dispersed it is!
Stayed 8 nights with complete solitude. Bugs weren't too bad. There were plenty of dead birch trees and beech trees for firewood. Not any evergreens though. Site 16 has two campsites. I took the further one with plenty of room. Good size fire pit, but people before me left some large pieces of wood not completely put out along with lit coals.

Pretty ok!
No major complaints. Beautiful location, easy to get to, convenient RV hookups. Goose poop everywhere so watch your step. Showers are relatively expensive. Sites are very very close together.

Guide to Limington
Campgrounds near Limington, Maine range from small wooded settings to full-service resorts with waterfront access. The region sits in the Saco River Valley at elevations between 300-500 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping patterns with summer highs around 80°F and cool spring/fall nights in the 40s. Fall camping offers spectacular foliage viewing while spring brings higher water levels for river activities.
What to do
Kayaking on Sebago Lake: Paddle along the shores at Sebago Lake Family Campground where access to Maine's deepest lake provides excellent boating opportunities. "The view from the lake is amazing. We walked to the beach every morning with our chairs for coffee. VERY RELAXING!" notes Kevin C.
River tubing and fishing: The Saco River offers excellent tubing and fishing opportunities just minutes from On the Saco Family Campground. "We anchored ourselves for a bit then pulled it up and just floated down river for awhile before walking back along the sandbars right in the river!" explains Christopher K.
Hiking nearby trails: Pleasant Mountain offers excellent day hiking options. "If you have kids and want a mountain to climb, head to Pleasant Mountain. There is a small welcome center and trails that wind through with some beautiful views," recommends Asher K., who stayed at On the Saco Family Campground.
Biking the Eastern Trail: For cycling enthusiasts, the Eastern Trail runs near Wild Duck Adult Campground, providing a 1.3-mile multi-use gravel path ideal for walking, running, and biking. "It is within a mile of the Audubon center office, where you can either put in your own kayak/canoe or rent one," mentions Heather C.
What campers like
Private, wooded sites: Many campers appreciate the privacy at smaller campgrounds. At On the Saco Family Campground, "each site has heavy evergreens in between allowing for nice privacy - and the grass tent site has that privacy too and were good sized," according to Kristy B.
Clean facilities: Consistently clean bathrooms and showers are mentioned frequently in reviews. At Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort, Jake C. notes, "Danforth Bay has been the staple campground for my family through the years. Its rare to find a campground with so many spacious wooded sites overlooking the water."
Adult-only options: For those seeking quieter settings, Wild Duck Adult Campground offers a peaceful alternative. "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," says Heather C.
Beach access: Swimming areas are major draws. At White Lake State Park Campground, "The lake is clear, the swimming area is shallow for quite a distance so you can feel comfortable with kids, and there is a separate boat launch area," notes Jean C.
What you should know
Reservation timing: The best places to camp near Limington fill quickly, especially waterfront sites. At Family and Friends Campground, availability varies seasonally: "We stayed on Labor Day weekend, so it was probably louder and more crowded than usual. But even still for a completely full campground it was nice!" says Amanda from White Lake State Park.
Site spacing varies significantly: Campgrounds range from spacious to tightly packed. "The sites are pretty close together and do not have great buffers. The sites that face the marsh are the best sites - they have some grass and lovely views," notes Heather C. at Wild Duck Adult Campground.
Water quality considerations: Some campgrounds have water issues. At Family and Friends Campground, one camper mentioned, "Water is yellow and stunk of iron. Manager assured it was safe. Made our shower look dirty constantly."
Weather preparedness: The weather can change rapidly in this region. At Sebago Lake State Park, one reviewer noted, "For a large portion of our stay it torrentially downpoured. The trees allowed us to canopy a tarp but our fire pit completely flooded and we had to bail it out when the rain finally stopped."
Tips for camping with families
Family-oriented activities: Several campgrounds near Limington offer organized children's programs. At Acres of Wildlife Family Campground, "There is activities and 2/3 playgrounds. We went 2019 and It was tragic we were cancelled due to corona virus this year. We will be making time to go before School starts up this year. This place totally rocks," says Darci F.
Beach safety: When selecting family-friendly camping spots, consider the water access. "The lake is clear, the swimming area is shallow for quite a distance so you can feel comfortable with kids," notes a visitor to White Lake State Park Campground.
Biking opportunities: Many campgrounds offer safe areas for children to ride. "This campground is very kid-friendly so if that is not your thing don't come in the summer," advises one reviewer about Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach.
Bathroom proximity: For families with small children, consider site location relative to facilities. One visitor noted, "I had a site next to the bathroom, which was very helpful and I felt confident letting my children go to the bathroom alone" at White Lake State Park.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Many campgrounds in the region have uneven terrain. "Terrain is a little hilly and tight for large vehicles. Sights are comfortable size," reports Ray P. at Family and Friends Campground.
Hookup locations: Electrical and water connections aren't always ideally positioned. "Be sure to bring extensions for electrical and sewer as a lot of sites are set up with difficult connection spots. Relatively level sites, long dirt road to get to is a bit of a problem," advises Ed C.
Interior road conditions: Access roads at several campgrounds can be challenging for larger vehicles. "Very wooded area. Hard to maneuver big rigs. Steep, unleveled roads," cautions a reviewer at Family and Friends Campground.
Seasonal considerations: When planning an RV trip to the best camping spots near Limington, consider timing. "We stay on the event weekends, rent a golf cart and sit in the hot tubs for the duration of our stay and it couldn't be better," notes Claire T. about Bayley's Camping Resort.
