Jellystone Park at Yonder Hill and Jellystone Park Androscoggin Lake provide upscale glamping accommodations within a short drive of Oakland, Maine. Both locations feature premium glamping options with comfortable bedding, electricity, and resort-style amenities. "We had so much fun at this campground. So many many things to do for kids," shared one guest about Jellystone Park at Yonder Hill. The glamping sites are thoughtfully designed with families in mind, offering a perfect balance of outdoor immersion and modern comfort. Cooley-Davies Homestead presents a more intimate glamping experience with a single yurt accommodation that includes composting toilets and hot showers for an eco-friendly boutique camping experience.
Water recreation forms the centerpiece of the glamping experience at these locations, with Androscoggin Lake providing excellent opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. The Birches Lakeside Campground sits on 12-mile Lake Cobboseecontee, offering glampers direct water access from their premium accommodations. One visitor noted, "Great Place for Boaters. Really cute campground. Its perfect if you have a motor boat, pontoon, jetskii, or even a kayak!" Beyond water activities, these glamping resorts organize themed weekends and scheduled activities for both adults and children. Most locations operate seasonally from May through October, with many offering on-site dining options, stores, and ice cream stands that eliminate the need to leave the property during your stay.

ScoutKid and pet friendly. Lots of activities for kids including a flashlight candy hunt, water slide, and s’more roast. We’ve been coming back for years and the addition of a glamping tent, cabins, and domes have made it even nicer!
GuideGreat campground. Bigger than we expected. Our site looked right over the water. Direct access to Maine's rocky shore. Everything you need to be comfortable including hot showers and bathrooms cleaned three times a day. A basic rec room, playground, beautiful gardens, clean sites. Rvs are so close together and some seasonal snobs, but also tent sites some drive up and some walk to more private/dispersed. Small store friendly staff. Some sites have a wooden deck for picnic area overlooking water. Laundry, wifi, made it an easy week. We had rain and wind a couple nights, tarp went over tent as not permitted in trees. Just fine. We will definitely be coming back.
TravelerWe discovered this campsite in 2020 and just returned from our third year in a row camping here with 2 kids. We have only tented, but hope to bring a small camper next year. There is a small arcade, store, and 24/7 laundry. Bathrooms/showers are clean and not very busy as most guests are in RVs. Activities started up again this year, with events such as kids’ crafts, a kids vs adults water gun fight, cornhole competition, and a DJ for an evening of dancing - just on the weekend we were there. We love the proximity to the lake with easy access for kayaking and swimming. New ownership this year resulted in some updates, as well as the addition of glamping tents near the beach. The sites are a decent size and the campground is fairly quiet at night.
Travelerlots of great amenities and events for kids. tent sites are on top of each other, but easy walk to camp store and bath houses. beach access for swimming in the lake. can be noisy outside of quiet hours, but becomes surprisingly quiet later at night.
LegendI have a love– hate relationship with KOA campgrounds. They tend to be overpriced and not consistent. You will find one that has nice sites at a decent price. Then, there are the others which are complete opposite. This KOA is on my good side. There are lots of site choices, cabins, yurts, and tent sites to choose from. The location is good as it is about 10-15 minutes far from the town of Freeport(home to L.L. Bean and tons of outlet stores), the pretty coastal town of South Freeport, four craft breweries and a cidery, and Bradbury Mountain State Park. The owners and work campers are very friendly and the super welcoming. Normally I am not concerned how nice people are but they go out of their way to make sure you get all the discounts you can and put you in a site that you prefer.
We have stayed here a few times and are always impressed how well-cared for the grounds are and how and clean the common areas, bathrooms, and pool are. The grass is always cut, weeds trimmed, fire pits cleaned and there is no trash lying on the ground. There are lots of seasonal sites but they are in the back portion of the park with the transients being in the front. The park has nice super long 50 amp FHU pull-thrus in the front of the park which will fit any length RV and tow vehicle. Some of these sites are “buddy” sites with a shared patio, but are so wide that even if you don’t know your neighbors, it would not be a bother because you are far enough apart. The only downside to these pull thrus is there is no shade. We tend to be there in cooler months so shade is not a problem. However, the rest of the campground has a very park-like feel with over 50 acres there is plenty of room to roam and even a short nature trail through a wooded area. Many sites backup against the woods or are in wooded areas so keep that in mind when making your reservation. We give this park two thumbs up for their dog park which is ten times the size of the average KOA dog park. My lab had plenty of room to run and chase a ball and there were never any other dogs there which was nice. Plus, it was clean and free of dog poop! Normally, there are plenty of activities like s’mores by the fire, crafts, pony rides (yes, they have their own ponies on site), ice cream social, hay rides but this year they were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We don’t use those amenities anyway so that wasn’t a problem but can see that would be fun activities for kids. We were in a buddy sites with our friends and liked the shared patio. Since we were in the open area, we were able to get both satellite with our roof-mounted dome and some over-the-air channels from Portland which is about 45 minutes away. All of our hook-ups were in an accessible place but we were also in a long pull thru and could position the RV in the site accordingly.
Some of the cons for this park are the lack of cable, so-so wifi, and the dusty gravel roads and pot holes. There are a few restrooms buildings scattered around the park which may not be close depending on what site you are in.
GuideMount Blue is an awesome Maine State Park about 2 hrs. north-west of Portland, 1hr from the White Mts. in NH and 1.5 hours from the Quebec border.
Chock full of activities from lakefront lounging, swimming, dark sky stargazing, fishing, biking, hiking, paddling and boating all from your campsite or nearby within the park.
Our group had the South Shelter group camping area, lakefront with small beachfront where you can have a decent sized bonfire and keep kayaks, SUPs, etc.
View is amazing, looking out across lake to Mount Blue and Tumbledown. Took the quick but steep hike up to the fire tower at Mount Blue's summit, about 3.5 miles RT.
Also really liked:
new and clean showers (individual shower rooms with hot water, are free!)
trails that link all campsites to the lake
super friendly staff
log cabin shelter at lake with a huge stone fireplace - didn't use it but this would be great for a group dinner
group site was spacious and slopes up from lake with plenty of shaded tent areas - we had about 8 tents and didn't feel crowded in the least
group site also has a spacious shelter and fire pit area at the top of the slope, with 4 picnic tables - cool for the showers we experienced when several people could fit inside under the roof, play games and wait out the storms.
Of note:
The shower house is located a good ways off from the group sites, over in the tent and RV/trailer site area. Some of us walked ands others biked or drove over.
At the group site there is a decent outhouse but no running water - so plan for that.
Showers were diagonal from site 9 in the camping area.
Def. check this beautiful state park out, and you can support Maine State Parks by purchasing an annual pass for around $105.
TravelerI found this campground online by chance one evening. I was skeptical of the waterfront site I was able to book because the reviews weren’t great. I was stunned! This little campground is a true hidden gem. The fellow campers are friendly and kind. Everyone respected quiet hours and the bathrooms were clean.
GuideIncredible little gem of a campground cooking lobsters everyday and even have breakfast delivery to your site! Friendly people. Our site was great 1a we camped right next to a beautiful apple tree
LegendIf you want to visit the Phippsburg area of Maine, your camping options are pretty limited. We chose Meadowbrook Camping Area for the simple fact we wanted to explore that particular area of Maine. The campground has a mix of sites from tent sites tucked away in the woods to large RV sites in the open. We camped in a 45’ RV and wanted a 50 amps full hook-up site severely limited our choices. 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. The site was unlevel and we were always on a bit of an incline. Our coach is pretty sensitive when it comes to leveling so this may not be a problem with other units or towables. The site and driveway were gravel and we had a decent picnic table and fire pit.
There are a fair amount of seasonals that have lots of junk around their campers and some sites are pretty unsightly. The restrooms were really old and not very clean. The office is a little run down and the maintenance shop behind it was unsightly with lots of equipment and stuff lying around. Needless to say, our first impressions of the campground were not that good. They tout themselves on the fact that they have fresh lobster on-site and will cook and deliver them to your site. But one look at the dirty water in the tank and we decided to head to the local lobster dock and wrangle up some fresh ones from the clean ocean water. They have a poolside café with a pretty all-day extensive menu. We didn’t eat there but it seemed to be pretty busy as it looked like lots of orders were always being. Our campsite was right next to the pool, café, and arcade area so we had a view of all the action. At least our patio side was not facing that busy area. There was an open karaoke night around a community fire pit that was very popular and everyone was having a great time.
People here were very nice and overall it was an o.k. stay. We choose this campground because it was the only one in the area we wanted to explore.
Glamping accommodations near Oakland, Maine provide visitors with options ranging from yurt stays to upscale cabins with lake access. Most sites operate seasonally from May through October when temperatures range from 45°F to 80°F, with higher humidity levels in summer. The area sits at approximately 250 feet elevation with several large lakes creating opportunities for water-based recreation alongside forested camping experiences.
Water activities on Lake Cobboseecontee: Birches Lakeside Campground sits directly on the 12-mile Lake Cobboseecontee, making it ideal for various watercraft. "If you enjoy water activists, boating, fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking then this is your spot," notes a camper. The lake provides opportunities for motorized and non-motorized water sports.
Disc golf courses: Beaver Brook offers an on-site course for disc golf enthusiasts. "Very nice campground with a good camp store and disc golf course. We will stay again!" reports one visitor. The course is accessible to players of various skill levels and provides a recreational option beyond swimming and hiking.
Hiking trails: Camden Hills State Park Campground offers direct access to Mount Megunticook and Mount Battie with trails ranging from easy to advanced difficulty. A camper reports, "What we really liked was the convenient location to downtown Camden and other cute towns, there are hiking trails just outside your doorstep, and you are within five miles of a grocery, restaurants, attractions, etc."
Evening entertainment: Many campgrounds organize weekend activities including live music and themed events. "The themed weekends are a neat concept and enjoyable," states one visitor about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Yonder Hill. Events typically run from Memorial Day through Labor Day with additional special events on holiday weekends.
Private waterfront sites: Sennebec Lake Campground offers sites with direct water access. "I am new to pulling a small camper, and staff was great helping me secure a site that was easy for me to back into, and beautiful," shares one visitor. These premium sites typically cost $10-15 more per night than standard sites but provide immediate lake access.
Family-friendly activities: Campgrounds coordinate scheduled events throughout the week. "The weekend we stayed they happened to be celebrating 'Christmas in July' and so a lot of the campers had put up lights and decorated. They had a band play on Sat night and large bonfire," notes a camper at Duck Puddle Campground. Most activities are included with your stay, though some special events may have small fees.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers rank high among visitor priorities. "Bathrooms/showers are clean and not very busy as most guests are in RVs," reports a visitor about Sennebec Lake Campground. Shower facilities typically operate 24 hours with some campgrounds providing token-operated hot water systems.
Art and craft opportunities: Searsport Shores Ocean Campground offers unique artistic experiences. "This place is so much more than a beautiful campground nestled among gorgeous old growth trees located right on the shore. It's also a treasure trove of arts of all kinds - fiber arts, metal sculptures, carvings, paintings, and music," describes one visitor. Workshops are offered seasonally with some requiring pre-registration.
Site drainage concerns: Some campgrounds experience water management issues during rain. One camper at Augusta/Gardiner KOA noted: "There were very heavy rains the night before we arrived that washed out some of the roads. Our site was quite wet." Spring camping (May-June) typically experiences the most precipitation, with sites on higher ground less prone to flooding.
Uneven terrain: Many campgrounds feature natural, non-leveled sites requiring preparation. "The site was so un-level that our refrigerator stopped functioning," reports a camper about one location. Bringing leveling blocks is advised even for sites advertised as level.
Variable site privacy: Site spacing differs significantly between campgrounds and within the same property. "The tent sites are completely separate from the RVs and are in the woods, beautifully maintained. Only con is the sites are very close together so privacy is an issue sometimes," notes a camper about Searsport Shores Ocean Campground. Premium sites typically offer more privacy at higher cost.
Wi-Fi connectivity: Internet access varies significantly. Some properties offer free Wi-Fi near the main buildings only, while others have no service. Cell service tends to be strongest at campgrounds closer to Interstate 95 or larger towns like Augusta and Waterville.
Water recreation options: Jellystone Park™ Androscoggin Lake provides multiple water options. "Amazing campground. Has a lot of stuff for kids including playground, pool, water slides, canoeing, kayaking, mini golf and disc golf," shares a visitor. Water activities are typically available from Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather permitting.
Playground facilities: Many campgrounds provide play areas with equipment of varying ages and conditions. "Great campground lots to do," notes one visitor simply about Beaver Brook facilities. Playground equipment ranges from older wooden structures to more modern installations.
Organized children's programs: Scheduled activities keep younger campers engaged. "Been here 3-4 times and have had an amazing time watch the kids. Great little fishing ponds, cabins and a Treehouse! Fun swimming pool and sooo many kid's activities," says a visitor about Jellystone Park at Yonder Hill. Most activities run on weekends with additional weekday programming during July and August.
Store accessibility: On-site stores stock essentials and snacks. "The shop was amazingly well stocked," notes a camper at Sennebec Lake. Stores typically operate from morning until early evening with limited hours during shoulder seasons (May and September).
Site selection for satellite reception: Dense tree cover affects satellite reception at many campgrounds. At Camden Hills State Park, "There are nine sites (55-63) located in an open field that may be able to pick up satellite." RVs requiring consistent connectivity should request these specific sites when booking.
Road conditions: Internal campground roads vary in quality and width. "The roads can be very narrow if you have a long rig," advises one camper about Beaver Brook Campground. RVs over 30 feet should confirm site accessibility before booking, especially at older campgrounds.
Hook-up availability: Campgrounds offer varying levels of services. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Yonder Hill, sites include "hook ups for water/electric/sewer but also tons of tent sites too." Full hookup sites typically cost $5-10 more per night than partial hookup options.
Dump station access: For sites without sewer connections, dump stations are crucial. Most campgrounds provide this service near the entrance/exit for convenience during departure. Plan to use these facilities before 10am or after 2pm to avoid typical checkout congestion.
