2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Lakeside Pines Campground and Papoose Pond Family Campground and Cabins house some of North Bridgton's top-rated glamping campsites. Lakeside Pines operates from Memorial Day to September 15, offering glamping tents directly on Long Lake with fire pits and picnic tables at each site. Papoose Pond spans two distinct areas separated by a road, with the quieter pool-side section featuring more spacious glamping options. Both locations provide full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections for their luxury camping units. The glamping accommodations include comfortable beds, private bathrooms, and covered outdoor cooking areas. Many units offer kitchenettes and climate control for year-round comfort. According to a camper, "We spent the weekend in the bunkhouse. Had an amazing time! Can't wait to return! Love Long Lake, so beautiful!"
Long Lake provides a natural playground for glamping guests with crystal-clear waters perfect for kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. Papoose Pond features specialized Half Moon sites that include kitchen amenities and private bathrooms while maintaining the eco-friendly glamping experience. The campground organizes weekly events including Tuesday trivia, Wednesday beach parties, Thursday dance nights, and Friday karaoke sessions. Loons Haven Family Campground, situated on Trickey Pond, offers additional glamping campsites with excellent water quality for swimming and boating. Guests can easily explore the surrounding White Mountain National Forest, just 30 minutes away. One visitor noted, "We stayed in an HHK which is a site that has its own electric stove, kitchen sink, covered picnic table, and small bathroom in the back! It's definitely more lux than a standard site, but it makes camping with kids insanely easy."
"Kayak, canoe, SUP rentals, a carousel, pool, lake, hike, and sooooo many activities."

"The key draw to this place for me is Sebago lake, which connects to Long Lake, and is some of the best boating I've done."
"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"
"I felt it was very awesome that they tag your pets incase they get loose somehow then they can be returned to you. They also gift them nice milk bones."
LegendThis is a great campground for families! Conveniently situated for skiing, climbing, hiking and leaf peeping. Amenities include; swimming pool, dog park, horseshoes, arcade, disc golf, basketball and more! They also have a propane fill station. As KOA’s go, you will pay for these amenities, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
TravelerWe come to this campground every year to hike a few 4000+ mountains. Typically we come in the fall. There are several full hook up rv sites, some without sewer and several spots for RVs near the river. While the pizza shop (Celli's) is closed for renovations right now, we love their pizza and fries. The bathrooms are decent and there is hot water!
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
TravelerPark is nestled in the woods with a lot of activities outdoors. Walking trails for people and dogs. Great laundry, bathrooms, office/store, cafe. The roads into the sites are tight but they guide you. We have a 30’ trailer and 20’ truck, I wouldn’t bring a trailer longer than 35’ in unless you are really good in tight spaces. Site 110 is a great pull thru.
TravelerLarge sites, clean pit toilets, in a beautiful, wooded campground adjacent to the Swift River.
Camp host, who’s been there for many years, keeps things clean, organized, and quiet.
Most sites can handle multiple big tents. Plenty of toilet houses and dumpsters available.
The great boulder loop trail is right there. It’s a very short walk to the trail head and it has gorgeous views of the swift river valley with much lower crowds than the major peaks in the whites.
Grab a drink and your chairs and take a short walk on one of the paths to the swift river and hang out a while.
GuideSeems clean and well-kept. Staff in the office are friendly and helpful.
ScoutWe showed up early (10:50 am) and asked to check in prior to the 12 pm check-in time. The owner was working and she told us we could not. I walked over and saw that our site was empty, so my wife asked the owner again if we could check in early as there was nobody there and we had two 16-mo babies who were ready to get out of the car. She then kicked us off the property. This was on a festival weekend with nowhere else to stay, and I told her that. The owner did not care and we had to drive 2 ours home.
ScoutThis was a cool agritourism campground. A little pricey but the cleanest campground I have stayed at over the last month and a half traveling around the great lakes area and then into New England. I'm traveling solo but definitely a cool spot if you have kids, the outhouses are kept as spotless as one could hope for and there are is a cool loop trail around the property that has educational stops. Camp store has local produce and food from the farm, there are trails where you can go down to the shoreline.
ScoutThis campground is near our home but one feels miles away. Lovely views of the shoreline, saltwater pool, and many choices for hook-ups. We stayed there over Labor Day weekend in 2025 and are returning this year in 2026
North Bridgton sits at the northwestern edge of Long Lake in Maine, with elevations ranging from 300-400 feet above sea level. The area experiences warm summers with daytime temperatures typically reaching 75-85°F in July and August. Camping options span from traditional tent sites to upscale glamping accommodations with sites available from Memorial Day through mid-October at most campgrounds.
Swimming in Trickey Pond: The exceptionally clear water at Loon's Haven Family Campground provides excellent swimming conditions. "Great views of this quiet pond. Quiet campground with great campsite amenities. Has bathhouses which were clean. Lots of sites rented all summer. Great place to explore the area from. Boating options are amazing in the area," notes Peter F.
Kayaking on Long Lake: Rent kayaks or bring your own to explore the water. "We had a beautiful waterfront campsite (Site 113). The lake is gorgeous. Rocks make direct access to the water from the site difficult, but there is a beach for water access not too far away," explains Katie B. about her stay at Lakeside Pines Campground.
Hiking at Pleasant Mountain: Located 20 minutes from North Bridgton, this hiking destination offers moderate trails with scenic views. "Camping for the night before the hike to the summit of Pleasant Mountain! Beautiful campground, super friendly owners, amazing Saco River access, and crazy reasonable rates per night," shares Christopher K. from On the Saco Family Campground.
Private, wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer secluded camping areas. "Each site has heavy evergreens in between allowing for nice privacy- and the grass tent site has that privacy too and were good sized. We stayed down in the sandier sites on the river lots of shade and privacy," reports Kristy B. about On the Saco Family Campground.
Weekend camping events: Acres of Wildlife Family Campground schedules themed weekends throughout the season. "Spent the weekend here for their Halloween weekend. So much to do at this campground! The only issue was Saturday night. Golf carts are available to rent but there was a lot that went buzzing by after quiet hours & kept us awake," notes Heather O.
Proximity to White Mountains: Campgrounds in the North Bridgton area serve as bases for White Mountain explorations. "You're within 30 minutes to White Mountain National Forest, which is gorgeous!" mentions Katie B. who camped at Lakeside Pines.
Site spacing varies significantly: Some campgrounds offer more privacy than others. "Sites are very close together and hard to maneuver a RV into. Staff are wonderful and very nice. Place has flooded twice in five years. Internet extremely slow," cautions Melissa S. about Eastern Slope Camping Area.
Reservation timing: For waterfront sites, reservations should be made 3-6 months in advance for summer weekends. "We had a nice site mid week just before the 4th of July. My site was large and fit my large tent but it was clear that it can get muddy based on the deep tire tracks left on the site by a previous camper," shares Rebecca L. about Sebago Lake State Park.
