    White Mountains Camping on Little Larry Road

    Chill spots with nearby creek and river

    Highwater trail with bridge close by. Great stars. Creek runs through road near sites good for getting water to filter or washing. Trailhead at end of road.

    Wassamki Springs Campground

    Great Family campground!

    The amenities here make it a wonderful place for kids and adults!!   Nice,  clean and quiet!    I stayed on a spot by the water, that was totally worth the upgrade.

    White Mountains Camping on Little Larry Road

    Fabulous Front Backcountry Camping

    8 huge, beautiful campsites in the heavily wooded Evans Notch section of The White Mountains National Forest. It's easy to forget there are other people camping on other sites because they're so far apart. It's wonderfully relaxing and quiet. The only thing I regret not bringing with me is a table to put my camp stove on.

    Sebago Lake State Park Campground

    Campground on Beautiful Lake

    I was lucky to score 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. The selling point of this campground is the lake for sure. Sebago Lake is beautiful. Sites are very close together. Luckily many of the sites around me were not occupied but I get the feeling that is rare. Bathrooms were clean. Beach areas were very nice for relaxing.

    Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground

    Peaceful Stay with Ocean Views and Family Fun at Wolfe’s Neck Campground

    Our stay at Wolfe's Neck was unforgettable! The ocean views were breathtaking, and waking up to the sounds of nature was so refreshing. We stayed in one of the East Bay sites—nice shade and just the right amount of privacy. The farm was a big hit with our kids, and the kayaking gave us a fun way to explore the area. Clean facilities, friendly staff, and tons of activities—highly recommend for anyone visiting Maine!

    Shore Hills Campground & RV Park

    Lovely River View

    Nice campground with a mix of tent/rv sites some in the woods, some by the river and some pretty close to the road. The sites were fairly close to each other but we had a  site at the end that had wonderful views of the river and we could angle our camper so we had privacy. The river is tidal and so unless you want to wade threw mud there is not access beyond a couple hours around high tide. Bath house was old but clean. Coin pay for hot water in the showers. Old school in that you have to call to make reservations and they do not accept credit cards. A few children but it was mostly adults the weekend we visited. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing.
