TravelerEveryone was friendly. The kitchen/dish washing lean-to was a wonderful addition!! Loved that it had a coffee maker
LegendDanforth Bay has been the staple campground for my family through the years. Its rare to find a campground with so many spacious wooded sites overlooking the water. They seem to always have events & family friendly activities to keep kids entertained. I always appreceiate the onsite kayak rentals for exploring the river that runs along the campground. Mary’s mountain is a nice hike accessible from the RV/Boat storage area.
GuideVery friendly. Good size lots. A lot of seasonal campers there give this place a neighborhood atmosphere. 10 to 15 minutes to stores and other needs. 30 minutes to coast. Portsmouth harbor cruise and many small coastal pubs and restaurants. Here is the “BUT”. Wi-Fi is barely usable after 8am. And phone signal is spotty at best. Had to walk around to find signal for phone call.
GuideUsed this spot for two day stop-over to visit family nearby. Friendly and accommodating. Terrain is a little hilly and tight for large vehicles. Sights are comfortable size. We were there mid-week before school let out. Very quiet.
ScoutWe stayed here right after Memorial Day weekend, so the campground was mostly cleared out and quiet. The bathhouse was very clean (coin-operated showers), and the sites were spacious. However, with more people there, it seemed like it would feel a little crowded, with the tent sites being so close together.
This campground is also very close to a public beach and a very short drive to Darmascota, so overall, I am very happy with the location and experience!
ScoutRangers are friendly and very helpful. This is right on the ocean with the beach just over the sand dunes. The cost is $70 a night. A little high, but we'll worth the cost to be right on Hampton Beach. There is a yearly limit of 14 days. I highly recommend this park if you can get a spot in summertime. Reservations are usually made a year in advance.
TravelerSmall beautiful campground right on the water. Away from the busy stuff but close enough to visit it if you want.
ScoutTried to ask about winter camping and the lady was wicked rude
ScoutI flew out from Minnesota this December to ski in Maine. Had some good riding at Sunday River!
I really enjoyed my stay at Runaround Woods in Bobcat for three nights! The lodging was warm and comfortable with great views. I was able to watch the moon rise each night as I was falling asleep.
The campground was set in the woods with lots of wildlife and amazing views of the night sky. Fun walking trail around the property. I played multiple rounds of disk golf and stopped at the proshop for a runaround woods branded disk. The wood fired sauna was really nice after a day of snowboarding. The host Ryan was very accommodating and helped me get the most of my stay. Ryan help heat up the sauna and also had great recommendations for local dining and shopping.
Highly recommend this stay for anyone looking to get out and explore Maine! Fun and comfortable lodging with a great host!
