    Beaver Dam Campground allows pets while offering full hook-up sites with river and pond views. Campers with dogs can access both wooded and open areas across the well-maintained grounds in Berwick, about 9 miles from Wells Beach. The campground features tent sites, RV spots, and cabin rentals, all accommodating pets with proper supervision. Thousand Trails Moody Beach and Lazy Frog Campground similarly welcome pets, with Moody Beach providing a small dog park area. Sea-Vu Campground and Sandy Pines Campground round out the pet-friendly options near North Berwick, each maintaining clean facilities and designated pet relief areas. Most campgrounds require pets to be leashed at all times outside of designated exercise areas, and owners must clean up after their animals. The fenced dog areas provide space for pets to run off-leash in controlled environments.

    Southern Maine's coastal campgrounds offer numerous hiking trails accessible with leashed dogs. Nearby beaches have varying seasonal pet policies, with most allowing dogs during morning and evening hours in summer months. Walking paths within campgrounds provide convenient exercise routes for dogs needing regular activity. Local veterinary services are available in Berwick and Wells for emergency care. Campground stores typically stock basic pet supplies, though bringing specialized food and medications is recommended. Campers report the wooded sites at Lazy Frog provide ample shade for pets during summer months, while the seasonal sites at Beaver Dam offer direct water access for dogs who enjoy swimming. Wildlife encounters are possible, so keeping pets secured prevents unwanted interactions with local fauna.

      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.

      Great clean campground

      Great campground, it is walking distance to Old Orchard beach and has large sites. Many family activities including fishing, 2 pools, a dog park, and a snack shack.

      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!

    Guide to North Berwick

    Campsites around North Berwick, Maine experience coastal weather patterns with seasonal fog and moderate temperatures ranging from 35°F winter nights to 85°F summer days. Many campgrounds remain open from May through October, closing during the harsh winter months when snow and freezing temperatures make camping impractical. This region provides access to both inland forest terrain and coastal areas within a 15-mile radius.

    What to do

    Kayaking on local waterways: Beaver Dam Campground offers direct pond and river access for paddlers. "There is plenty to do if you canoe or kayak, there is a pond right there, there is a swimming area in the pond," notes Sandie B., highlighting the multiple water activity options within the campground itself.

    Beach exploration during non-peak hours: Sun Outdoors Wells Beach serves as a convenient basecamp for beach visits. "The location to the coastal beaches of York, Wells, Agunquit and Kennebunkport is the main reason we stayed here," explains Robert S. The campground provides strategic positioning for exploring multiple beach areas.

    Seasonal activities and entertainment: The Salmon Falls / Lebanon KOA organizes regular events throughout the camping season. One visitor mentioned, "There's a water slide, mini golf, ropes course, river access, and much more," demonstrating the variety of structured activities available at this larger resort-style campground.

    Coastal lighthouse viewing: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to lighthouse viewing opportunities. At Libbys Oceanside Camp, campers reported, "This campsite has a great view over the ocean towards the lighthouse" - making it an excellent option for those interested in coastal photography.

    What campers like

    Clean, modern facilities: Sandy Pines Campground maintains high standards for their amenities. "Cleanest nicest bathrooms and showers I've ever seen camping. Also fun game areas and a beautiful store which has good food too!" reports Virginia W., highlighting the premium facility quality that differentiates this property.

    Spacious wooded sites: Lazy Frog Campground offers more secluded camping options. "We love the small space. Its a great local campground with activities going on all the time. We love the fishing pond and its pet friendly!" says Samantha N., emphasizing the appeal of wooded campsites with recreational water features.

    Proximity to antique shopping: Located near Route 1, many campgrounds provide easy access to antiquing opportunities. "RT 1 is full of antique stores so get out of the well-known towns and that will be fun," suggests a Beaver Dam visitor, pointing out less crowded shopping alternatives beyond the popular coastal towns.

    Seasonal celebrations: Many campgrounds host themed weekends and holiday events. At Thousand Trails Moody Beach, "Events and activities are run by management" according to Kasey M., with organized programming especially prevalent during holiday weekends and the peak summer season.

    What you should know

    Site sizes vary significantly: Campgrounds in this area often feature mixed site types and sizes. "The sites are not super spread out, they are not right on top each other either," notes a camper at Dixons Coastal Maine Campground, indicating the moderate site spacing typical of established campgrounds in the region.

    Reservation timing requirements: Peak season demands advance planning, particularly for weekend stays. "We had a full hook up site, mixed in with a bunch of vintage campers. It was Vintage Camper weekend afterall," explains Joe R. about Sandy Pines Campground, demonstrating how themed weekends can impact availability.

    Wildlife and insect considerations: Wooded sites provide shade but may have more insects. One camper at Old Stage Campground noted "The bugs, however, really prevented us from enjoying spending time outdoors," highlighting seasonal pest challenges that can vary by location and time of year.

    Cellular and WiFi limitations: Signal strength varies significantly across the region. At Moody Beach, a visitor reported "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," pointing out connectivity issues common in rural camping areas.

    Tips for camping with families

    Water features for children: Dixons Coastal Maine Campground maintains a clean swimming pool that families appreciate. "The pool and restrooms are spotless," notes Deken S., highlighting facilities particularly important to families with children needing recreational options.

    Structured recreation programs: Several campgrounds schedule family-focused activities. "Beautiful and very well maintained. The staff is awesome. There are SO many amazing activities for the whole family. Would absolutely recommend!" reports Joseph I. about Beaver Dam Campground, indicating organized programming suitable for multiple age groups.

    Evening entertainment options: Some campgrounds provide scheduled evening activities. "There's a nice pool and it was right on our way to Bar Harbor. The WiFi was a little sketchy," mentions Gayle M. about Sea Vu Campground, though noting connectivity limitations.

    Safe bicycle routes: Many campgrounds feature internal road systems conducive to cycling. "Campground is superior in its warmth, cleanliness, dog friendly and access to points of interest," states Nancy about Beaver Dam, referencing the connectivity to external recreation options important for families with older children.

    Tips from RVers

    Electric load management: During peak usage times, electrical systems can become strained. "We have a 50 amp unit but reduced down to 30 amp (30 was the only option). We always use a surge protector. Once the weekend campers arrived our surge protector kept tripping due to low voltage," reports a visitor at Lazy Frog Campground, suggesting appliance usage strategies.

    Site orientation considerations: Site layouts at some campgrounds can affect comfort and privacy. "The 30 amp sites are very close together. The campground layout is quite unusual, with campers parked lengthwise along the road," describes Arno W., highlighting the importance of understanding site configurations before booking.

    Water hookup reliability: Water pressure and connection quality vary by campground and site location. "We stayed on our 1st trip in Aliner. Went back 2 more times," indicates Bobcat B. about Old Stage Campground, suggesting consistent satisfaction with the utility connections over multiple visits.

    Local service accessibility: Knowledge of nearby RV service options is important for extended stays. "We've been there twice and have reservations for next year," notes Deken S. about Dixons, indicating sufficient local support services to accommodate return visits with confidence.
