      Chocorua KOA

      Beautiful campground in the mountains of NH

      The grounds are well maintained with flowers planted everywhere. Staff is extra friendly. Bathrooms and showers could use updating but were spotless. Very pet friendly with dog park, agility equipment, dog pond and dog wash.

      Beautiful forest

      We stayed At Wakeda Campground overnight during a trip from Maine back to Long Island, NY. It was located very close off of 95 and allows pets. We were overwhelmed by the beautiful massive forest. The campground was splendid with old tall, pine trees everywhere. They offered electric, water, and sewer hook up, trading post that had camping goods and snacks, WiFi hotspot, pool table, and lounging area. They also had a game room, miniature golf, coffee shop and dog park.

      The first campsite they assigned to us was very secluded but unfortunately, we were coming in during a major rainstorm. That site was a little flooded so we chose another. It still had beautiful trees surrounding it but not as secluded from neighbors. There are also many seasonal campers there but all of their sites were beautifully decorated with flowers and such. Everyone was friendly that we encountered during our stay.

      We had bathrooms located near our site. They were four separate bathrooms that had a sink and toilet and were clean. They did offer showers in another area but I did not use them.

      Walking around we saw wild turkeys, bunnies, and a hummingbird. It would have been great if they offered a nature trail in the campground since the forest was so beautiful. There were paths that went into the woods but they were marked for employees only.

      The next day we wanted to go for a hike before we hit the road. Unfortunately, the state parks near the campsite do not allow dogs during late Spring to early Fall. Using our Bring Fido App, we found Rails to Trails nearby that we could bring our dog and hiking cat. We did the Salisbury Point Ghost Trail that was nice and shady, though flat, but a nice leisurely walk for all of us.

      Thousand Trails Moody Beach

      Consider Thousand Trails Membership for Better Value

      Consider the Thousand Trails membership when booking this site. Our annual membership fees basically covered what it would cost to camp here for two weeks.

      The campground has good proximity to Orchard Beach and Portland. However, the spots are pretty tight, and the WiFi is awful away from the registration office. We were in the wooded area, but those camping on the outskirts seemed able to utilize their Starlink.

      The dog park and pool were small but nice. The bathroom facilities were pretty good, though they weren't cleaned as often as they should be.

      Chocorua KOA

      Small, quiet family campground

      The Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.

      We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.

      There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.

      The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!

      This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!

      We had a great trip and will definitely be back!

      Friendly, with a great location

      I came here last year with my dog.  We only stayed two nights.  It was his first time camping, so I made a note in my reservation request that I'd like a fairly remote site - just in case he got loud.  They put me in the perfect site, near the dog park (they have a dog park!).  When the forecast changed to thunderstorms, they let me switch my dates without any hassle.  The location is convenient for Newburyport, Portsmouth, and the Seacoast.   We ended up having a lovely stay.

      Just a note, I took my dog for a walk around the campground and noticed that many of the other sites were rather close together - including the cabins.  Some people don't mind, and even enjoy, close neighbors.  If you're like me, however, you'll want to ask for a more remote site.

      One more thing to note; I booked through Rover Pass and ended up paying them a fee.  Next time I'll contact the park directly.

      I'm looking forward to another trip soon!

      Nice clean camp ground. Beautiful dog park with agility course. Restrooms were clean and centrally located.

    Guide to Newfield

    Camping areas near Newfield, Maine sit at elevations between 500-800 feet, with seasonal temperature shifts that create ideal summer camping conditions averaging 80°F days and 60°F nights. The region's mix of pine forests and glacial lakes offers a combination of wooded campsites and water recreation opportunities within a 25-mile radius of Newfield proper. Most pet-friendly campgrounds require leashes 6 feet or shorter.

    What to do

    Kayaking on nearby lakes: At Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort, kayakers can explore river access directly from the campground. "Mary's mountain is a nice hike accessible from the RV/Boat storage area" and "I always appreciate the onsite kayak rentals for exploring the river that runs along the campground," notes Jake C.

    Fishing opportunities: The lakes near Newfield support various fishing options. "Sebago lake is a great spot for all types of fishing. From bass to landlocked salmon. And you can take the boat up river through the songo locks. All the way up to long lake," explains Joshua B. from Sebago Lake State Park.

    Lake swimming: Most campgrounds in the area feature lake access with designated swimming areas. White Lake State Park Campground offers "a gorgeous lake with a pair of resident loons" and "the lake is clear, the swimming area is shallow for quite a distance so you can feel comfortable with kids," according to Jean C.

    What campers like

    Spacious wooded sites: Many campers appreciate the natural setting and space between sites. "The sites were spacious enough and felt semi private, I had a site next to the bathroom, which was very helpful and I felt confident letting my children go to the bathroom alone," writes Stephanie C. about her stay at Sebago Lake State Park.

    Clean facilities: Jellystone Park™ Lakes Region (formerly Mi-Te-Jo) receives praise for its maintenance. "Great family friendly campground. Large sites, not super private, but we also stayed right on the beach. Clean. Safe. Friendly staff," says Lauren A.

    Lake access and views: The ability to camp near water is a major draw. "We were just passing through and didn't explore much, but this place is definitely going on the 'return' list. Staff is great, sites are spacious and great," writes Jason E. about Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort's lakefront setting.

    What you should know

    Summer booking timelines: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. At Bunganut Lake Camping Area, a camper notes: "Small and quaint. This was such an adorable perfect campsite. Lots of seasonal campers who are all super friendly and helpful." Plan to reserve 3-6 months ahead for summer weekends.

    Campground layouts: Many campgrounds in this area are built on hills or uneven terrain. "This campground was quiet and the sites were fairly private. It is built on a hill so some sites are a bit of a walk to get to," reports Sarah about Bunganut Lake.

    Weather considerations: Summer thunderstorms are common in the region. "When it rains you can't have your car in the field because people get stuck poured on us while we were there but other than that it was a nice place," warns Ian about Spacious Skies Walnut Grove's tent sites.

    Tips for camping with families

    Water activities for kids: Acres Of Wildlife Family Campground specializes in family entertainment. "A must! This camp ground is FULL of fun for kids. There is activities and 2/3 playgrounds," shares Darci F., while another camper adds, "They had three (!!) playgrounds, a swimming lake, kayaks, canoes, paddleboats, tie-dying, a great camp store."

    Dog-friendly guidelines: When bringing pets to dog friendly campgrounds near Newfield, come prepared with documentation. "Be sure to bring extensions for electrical and sewer as a lot of sites are set up with difficult connection spots," notes Ed C. at Acres Of Wildlife, which also "tag[s] your pets incase they get loose somehow then they can be returned to you."

    Campground noise levels: Family-oriented campgrounds vary in quietness. White Lake State Park camper Melanie P. explains: "quiet hours are not honored here, fails to feel family friendly sometimes. My first trip I was next to partygoers and they played heavy metal, cussing, and drinking late into midnight."

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection considerations: At Lake Forest RV Resort, RVers should be specific about their requirements. "So beautiful! I loved it perfect for our new RV the owners were great," says Amanda W. Most campgrounds around Newfield have some level sites for RVs, though many are on hills requiring careful leveling.

    Hookup access challenges: Several pet-friendly campgrounds near Newfield have unusual hookup placements. "Really liked this campground, large sites with full hookups. Beach and boat ramp with some cabins on the water," notes Michael M. about his stay at Danforth Bay, though other campers mention bringing extension cords for water and electrical connections.

    Seasonal vs. transient spaces: Many campgrounds operate with both seasonal and transient RV sites. Lake Ivanhoe Inn and Campsites camper Michael T. explains that their campground provides "a true family camping experience that won't break the bank" with "enough space between sites to help childrenless adults relax with no worries."
