Seasonal considerations heavily influence camping availability in the region, with most facilities closing during winter months.

LegendThis is one of our favorite campgrounds in the region. Close to the Botanical Gardens and the lovely historic town of Boothbay. The campground is small and well appointed with a super clean bath house and laundry room. Showers are free and the water is hot. Tasty beers and great food available at the brewery, though the brewery isn’t open on Monday- Wednesday.

RangerI have stayed in about 20 campgrounds in the past two months and this was by far the loudest despite being pretty empty. Kids screeching and screaming for about 6 hours a day, including weekdays. Had one come knocking on my door while I was working to try and sell keychains. Some uncontrollable dogs in our loop as well. Despite the lack of peace, the campground itself was in good shape and had a lot of amenities.
ScoutVery Clean. They mow something everyday. Asphalt roads. Easy access to every spot. Extra clean showers and restrooms. They have activities for all ages. But no dog park. Why not? They have plenty of room.
GuideWe are used to dispersed out in the woods.
We are older and stayed 4 nights in the tent. The facility had the bathroom, we travel with our potty. The showers weee extremely nice. Great water pressure and hot water.
The camp sites are close together about 10 ft between. If you are looking for very remote and no one around you this is not the place for you.
We stayed in lot 7 right by the trail access. We were trying to sleep in but the early morning hikers walk right by the site.
The staff was super helpful, they had fire wood bundles there reasonably priced. It was to far from town either.
We found everyone to be very friendly and they all obeyed the dog leash rules that was excellent.
If you have an expensive car watch the falling acorns. 4 days of them I may have to make an insurance claim, not to mention I got hit by one that left a bruise.
The kitchen area was great for coffee we didn’t even have to fire up the generator.
The bathroom area set towards the middle, we are older and don’t run as fast so we always bring our camp toilet. They kept the bathrooms clean the toilet paper was good. Not a regular toilet no flushing or water or anything.
GuideIt's a cute campground with a beach and boat dock. Laundry, pool, showers all available but I didn't use them.
GuideWater and electricity only at sites. Dump station available. Fire pit, table and trees at most sites. Lots of trees and peace here.
GuideThey offer both Military and Good Sam discounts. Very nice park. Clean bathrooms and showers. Even a dog park!
RangerLOVE this campground. Beautiful grounds with campsites nestled in a hemlock pine forest with lots of forest all around. So peaceful. Full hookup. Nearby Kennebunk and Kennebunk Port. No hiking trail on the grounds but many a short drive away. Pickleball and disc golf nearby. Only bummer was we wish we stayed longer. We would love to return for a week or more!

Hiking at state parks: Bradbury Mountain State Park Campground provides direct trail access from campsites.

Site specifications: Campground layouts vary significantly throughout the area. At Meadowbrook Camping, "The sites are not level and most are not shaded or very wide." Another camper noted, "We had a w/e site. The full hook up sites are in a field and close together. We preferred to be in the woods."
Electricity considerations: Power supply can be inconsistent at some campgrounds. One Meadowbrook camper reported, "We paid for a 30 amp service, but had low voltage the entirety of our stay... They had several campsites on the same breaker, something we have never seen at any campground in our 3 years of travel."

Site leveling challenges: Winslow Park And Campground offers oceanfront sites that may require additional setup time. "We were assigned a pull thru that had such a steep incline we determined it best to actually back into the site so we didn't bottom out trying to get up the hill," shared one RVer with a 45-foot vehicle.
