Best Campgrounds near Ogunquit, ME

804 Reviews

Campgrounds near Ogunquit, Maine provide oceanside accommodations along the southern Maine coast, with options ranging from established RV resorts to tent camping areas. Facilities such as Sandy Pines Campground in Kennebunkport and Thousand Trails Moody Beach in Wells cater to various preferences with tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and glamping accommodations. Most campgrounds in the region are concentrated within a 10-mile radius of Ogunquit's beaches and town center, offering proximity to coastal attractions while maintaining a camp setting.

The camping season in southern Maine generally runs from mid-May through mid-October, with most facilities closing after Columbus Day weekend. Advance reservations are essential during peak summer months, particularly for weekend stays and waterfront sites. Many campgrounds require security deposits for gate cards or amenity access. The region experiences typical New England coastal weather with warm summers, cool evenings, and occasional fog or rain. Sites with full hookups for RVs are widely available, though tent-only areas may be limited at some locations. A visitor noted, "The location to the coastal beaches of York, Wells, Ogunquit and Kennebunkport is the main reason we stayed here. It's one of our favorite locations in Maine."

Several campgrounds in the Wells-Ogunquit area feature swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities during summer months. Family-friendly environments predominate, with quiet hours typically enforced after 10 PM. Sites vary considerably in size and privacy, with some campgrounds offering wooded settings while others have more open layouts with minimal separation between campsites. According to one camper, "Some RV sites are pretty tight, while others are very comfortable." Many locations provide shuttle service or are within walking distance to beaches, allowing campers to avoid parking fees at popular coastal destinations. Beach access remains the primary draw for most visitors to the area, with campgrounds serving as convenient bases for exploring Maine's southern coastline, from York Harbor to Kennebunkport.

    Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground

    Beautiful spot!

    We had a beautiful waterfront site, 10 minutes from downtown Freeport. The campground is a working farm that would be great for the kids. We will definitely be back.806

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp Resort, Lakes Region

    Downhill since new management

    Yogi’s Jellystone Park– Milton, New Hampshire: Seasonal Camper Review I have been camping at Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Milton for five years, including the last two as a seasonal camper. Unfortunately, my recent experiences under new management have been disappointing and frustrating. Pet Fence Policy and Safety Concerns
At the start of this season, the new general manager, Amanda, instructed me to remove my pet fence, citing liability issues. Despite my having signed a waiver absolving the park of responsibility for my dog’s actions, she insisted on its removal without providing a clear explanation. I complied reluctantly, only to observe many other campsites retaining similar pet fences throughout the season, including one seasonal camper who kept theirs up all season and transient sites with fences as well. This inconsistent enforcement of rules is unfair and undermines trust. After seeing others with pet fences, I reinstated mine to protect my dog, especially after two incidents where loose dogs entered my site and charged at my dog. Amanda then threatened me with non-renewal of my seasonal contract if I did not remove the fence again, forcing me to comply once more. I wrote to corporate regarding this issue since Amanda was of no help but never heard back from corporate. Loss of Seasonal Site and Corporate Decisions
Yogi’s removed nine seasonal sites this year, including mine, with little warning. This decision affects long-term campers, some with over 20 years of history at the park. It appears motivated by corporate interests, favoring transient sites or cabins, which generate more revenue. The loss of a seasonal site after investing time, effort, and money into making it beautiful is deeply disheartening and reflects poor management priorities. Entertainment and Atmosphere
Adult entertainment offerings have drastically declined. This year’s highlight was a 30-minute Saturday night hayride, with no live bands in the pavilion throughout the entire season. Under previous management, live music was a regular and enjoyable feature. The lack of engaging activities diminishes the overall campground experience. Myself and other campers offered suggestions to management regarding entertainment for adults but they didn't take any of our suggestions. Bear Interaction
Despite the park’s theme, sightings of Yogi Bear are rare. On one occasion, a golf cart carrying excited children stopped to see Yogi Bear, but the character ignored them and drove past without interaction, which was very disappointing. Management and Staff Attitude
Amanda, the general manager, presents as unapproachable and aloof. She did not introduce herself to seasonal campers at the beginning of the season, many of whom do not even know what she looks like and the camping season ends in just a couple of weeks. Most staff members also exhibit a snobbish attitude, often failing to acknowledge campers, which creates an unwelcoming environment. Cost and Recommendation
The campground is overpriced relative to the quality of experience and level of service provided. Given the inconsistent rule enforcement, loss of seasonal sites, diminished entertainment, and poor management attitude, I cannot recommend Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Milton NH Those interested in a Yogis campground should consider other locations.

    Salisbury Beach State Reservation

    York Beach Camper Park

    Hideaway

    Don’t let the entrance turn you off. Once you get back into the campgrounds, it’s so cute. You are nestled in the woods. You feel like you are in the Forest but so close to the ocean. It’s calm and peaceful. The owners are so friendly and kind.

    Bradbury Mountain State Park Campground

    Bradbury Mountain Campground

    Bradbury Mountain Campground

    Nice trail that borders campground. Saw group of cyclists and hikers use it during stay. No WiFi but T-Mobile accessible. Toilet is rustic, short wooden walls surrounding vault toilet. Various sized campsites yet not crowded. Kitchen area is a cool feature & offers campers use of community utensils & pans (although we didn't need to use). Kitchen has hot water to wash dishes and microwave to warm food. Town of Freeport is popular and LL Bean has huge shopping campus.
