"Beautiful setting, lots of trees, bordering on beautiful marsh area. Many different types of campsites: rent, RV, seasonal RV, cottages, glamping tents and cabins etc."
"Dogs are welcome. Big rig friendly. Very close to attractions and restaurants and stores. We will be back next year with friends. We camped in our Minnie Winnie travel trailer."
"We like to stay in the “south section” which tends to have less kids because it is farther away from the “action.”"
"Right next to the road. So yes lots of family glamping fun. But not for those looking for a more visceral Maine camping experience."

Check Availability"This was a nicely shaded and quiet park, even with kids running around. There was a nice pool for the kiddos, as well as kayaks and water toys for the pond, which looks like a lake."

Check Availability"Great huge campground only a walk to the beach from one entrance. Train goes by close to sites near beach access! Most sites are gravel.. clean clean clean"
"And of course the beach was walking distance which was the biggest draw for us. If you have little ones, time your beach trips with low tide. The waves crash pretty hard at high tide."
"They allowed me to drive around and look at the other campsites as I was needing a site with limited/no tree coverage."
"Nice pool; playground for kids, can walk to old orchard; or they have a bus also!"

"Has a beach. lake has a no motor requirement. Also trails to wonder"
ScoutOceanfront camping at its best—full hookups just steps from the beach. Located in popular Hampton Beach, you'll be close to nightly bandshell concerts and vibrant nightlife. There is a lottery system in place for stays during the summer.
LegendThis is one of our favorite campgrounds in the region. Close to the Botanical Gardens and the lovely historic town of Boothbay. The campground is small and well appointed with a super clean bath house and laundry room. Showers are free and the water is hot. Tasty beers and great food available at the brewery, though the brewery isn’t open on Monday- Wednesday.
RangerI have stayed in about 20 campgrounds in the past two months and this was by far the loudest despite being pretty empty. Kids screeching and screaming for about 6 hours a day, including weekdays. Had one come knocking on my door while I was working to try and sell keychains. Some uncontrollable dogs in our loop as well. Despite the lack of peace, the campground itself was in good shape and had a lot of amenities.
ScoutVery Clean. They mow something everyday. Asphalt roads. Easy access to every spot. Extra clean showers and restrooms. They have activities for all ages. But no dog park. Why not? They have plenty of room.
GuideWe are used to dispersed out in the woods.
We are older and stayed 4 nights in the tent. The facility had the bathroom, we travel with our potty. The showers weee extremely nice. Great water pressure and hot water.
The camp sites are close together about 10 ft between. If you are looking for very remote and no one around you this is not the place for you.
We stayed in lot 7 right by the trail access. We were trying to sleep in but the early morning hikers walk right by the site.
The staff was super helpful, they had fire wood bundles there reasonably priced. It was to far from town either.
We found everyone to be very friendly and they all obeyed the dog leash rules that was excellent.
If you have an expensive car watch the falling acorns. 4 days of them I may have to make an insurance claim, not to mention I got hit by one that left a bruise.
The kitchen area was great for coffee we didn’t even have to fire up the generator.
The bathroom area set towards the middle, we are older and don’t run as fast so we always bring our camp toilet. They kept the bathrooms clean the toilet paper was good. Not a regular toilet no flushing or water or anything.
ScoutPark 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.
GuideIt's a cute campground with a beach and boat dock. Laundry, pool, showers all available but I didn't use them.
GuideThey offer both Military and Good Sam discounts. Very nice park. Clean bathrooms and showers. Even a dog park!
GuideGet a site in the back with the trees if possible. They are much bigger sites and more secluded. Cash only ($61) but there is an ATM in the office. The manager was very helpful giving me a local map and telling me the sites to see. She recommended a few restaurants for great food.
Campgrounds near Ocean Park, Maine offer access to southern Maine's coastal landscape with seven-mile stretches of sandy beaches and tidal marshes. Fall temperatures range between 45-65°F with vibrant foliage typically peaking in mid-October.

Kayaking the Scarborough Marsh: Launch directly from Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park where the property backs onto the marsh. "There are a few very short walking paths in the campground, but it is 1.3 miles of the Eastern Trail, a multi use gravel path which is a better place to walk, bike, or run. It is within a mile of the Audubon center office, where you can either put in your own kayak/canoe or rent one," notes camper Heather C.
Mountain biking local preserves: Sandy Pines Campground offers proximity to excellent biking trails. "For those so inclined, there is great mountain biking either through the Tyler Preserve down to Cape Porpoise or North through the Emmitt Smith Preserve," shares Joe R., who stayed with his travel trailer.
Beach walks during allowed hours: Campgrounds near the shore offer various beach access options. "It's in a beautiful area and you can walk (not a short walk) to beach - it was also great," notes Tim S. about Sandy Pines, while others mentioned proximity to Goose Rocks Beach, a quieter alternative to the main Old Orchard Beach area.
Clean, modern bathroom facilities: Old Orchard Beach Campground maintains exceptional bathroom facilities. "Wonderful showers and very accommodating staff. There is a fantastic Mexican restaurant we ate at twice, less than a mile away," reports April C., appreciating the well-maintained amenities.
Adult-only camping options: For those seeking quieter surroundings, Wild Duck Adult Campground provides a peaceful alternative. "This adult only campground is peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear - it is quite relaxing," writes Heather C., highlighting the natural atmosphere.
Trolley service to beaches: Paradise Park Resort and other campgrounds offer convenient beach transportation. "A shuttle will take you to the town beach or you can walk/ride bikes the .25 miles," explains Jessica S., noting how this eliminates parking concerns for beachgoers.
Site privacy varies significantly: Site selection matters when privacy is important. "Depending on your site location you may get more privacy than if you stay in the big rig sites. The wooded sites tend to be more private and less loud. Staying by any of the pools will be louder," advises Claire T. about Bayley's Camping Resort.
Seasonal considerations affect experience: Most campgrounds operate from May through October with peak season bringing crowds. "We visited in the off-season but can only image the park gets pretty busy especially in the front section where the swimming pool, arcade, camp store, and other activities are located," notes Nancy W. about Old Orchard Beach Campground.
Insect protection essential: Marshy areas mean mosquitoes, especially in certain locations. "The only negative of this place was the mosquitoes. They were TERRIBLE. In the time it took after we parked the camper, to when I could dig the bug spray out of our truck I was covered in bites," warns Megan W. about her experience at a marsh-adjacent campground.
Pool facilities for different age groups: Bayley's Camping Resort offers designated swimming areas. "There is a kids pool and a pool for the adults only w/bar. A pond for fishing, there are kayaks etc... Shower throughout and I might add very clean," notes Christopher S., highlighting family-friendly amenities.
Playgrounds and dedicated activity areas: Multiple playgrounds provide options for families with children of different ages. "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," reports Christopher O. about Paradise Park Resort.
Seasonal activities and entertainment: "The days are packed with actives. You will love this place!" explains Karen D. about organized events that keep children engaged throughout summer stays.
Site selection for big rigs: Red Apple Campground provides level sites with good amenities. "Campsites are well-spaced and have level asphalt pads. Ours came with picnic table and fire pit," shares Diane S., highlighting the practical setup for larger vehicles.
Hookup considerations: Most dog friendly campgrounds near Ocean Park offer full hookup options. "We had a full hook up site, mixed in with a bunch of vintage campers. It was Vintage Camper weekend afterall. While the sites are not super spread out, they are not right on top each other either," notes Joe R. about Sandy Pines Campground.
Seasonal site spacing issues: RV sites can get crowded during peak season. "Not our favorite campground. This place is large with a lot of really close campsites not so private. People drive way too fast up and down the camp roads with zero enforcement," cautions Andrew G. about summer conditions at one of the larger resorts.
