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.
ScoutThis was a cool agritourism campground. A little pricey but the cleanest campground I have stayed at over the last month and a half traveling around the great lakes area and then into New England. I'm traveling solo but definitely a cool spot if you have kids, the outhouses are kept as spotless as one could hope for and there are is a cool loop trail around the property that has educational stops. Camp store has local produce and food from the farm, there are trails where you can go down to the shoreline.
GuideThis is a nice campground with 90% permanent upscale sites. Don’t let that deter you, the nightly spots are concentrated have excellent natural surroundings. Decent size spaces and mostly level. Workers were nice and many things to do.
ScoutIt's old school in that you can't reserve online, and they only take cash or checks, but the campground is beautiful, clean and well maintained.
ScoutThis campground is near our home but one feels miles away. Lovely views of the shoreline, saltwater pool, and many choices for hook-ups. We stayed there over Labor Day weekend in 2025 and are returning this year in 2026
ScoutWe just came back from a big family weekend there. We had 5 sites with 19 people(including children). This is by far the most rundown campground I've stayed! Only 1 bathroom facility was functioning. Of the 3 times I tried taking a shower, I only succeeded 1 time. The other 2 times(once at night and once the following morning at 6am) I only got drops coming out of the hot and cold faucets. I tried the only 2 stalls. Speaking of bathrooms...these have not been updated since the 60s-early 70s when I was camping with the same style bathroom facilities. The children's playground should be condemned!!! At least 25% of the wood is rotted. Some steps are missing from ladders. My granddaughter was swinging in the childs swing, the bottom unlatched and she fell through the bottom. If she wasn't monkey like in holding on she would have done a face plant to the ground. After looking at the swing, I found the plastic latch broken! 2 positives: the campsites are very nice! and the beach is great! Bottom line, these owners are not putting any money back into the campground and it's facilities. They are running it into the ground. I won't be coming back again!
GuideLovely campground near the lake. Many of the beaches were resident only so I highly recommend buying the $10 beach pass to access their private beach (There’s only two passes available so get there early) The lake was incredibly beautiful and so relaxing!
I will say site #23 is a bit of a tight squeeze, we had a travel trailer (About 21 ft) and a GMC Sierra and we had to pull the truck up tightly against the trailer so we weren’t sticking out. Wanna shout out Rick because he was so kind and very helpful!
TravelerWish there was closer bathrooms.
ScoutGreat little mom and pop campground with tent and RV sites
The Old Orchard Beach area offers camping options ranging from oceanfront glamping to wooded retreats for all types of campers. Located in southern Maine where the Atlantic coastline meets dense pine forests, the region experiences warm summers with average July temperatures around 80°F and cooler evenings in the mid-60s. Most campgrounds in the area operate from May through October with limited availability during shoulder seasons.
Beach shuttle access: Wild Acres Tent & Trailer Park provides a convenient way to reach the coast without moving your vehicle. According to a camper, "There is a free shuttle service to the beach. If you have little ones, time your beach trips with low tide. The waves crash pretty hard at high tide."
Kayaking on tidal waters: Sandy Pines Campground offers direct water access for paddlers. One visitor noted, "The back end of the campground is a salt marsh, campers can put in canoes and kayaks right from the campground." Another mentioned it's "a short bike ride from Cape Porpoise" and close to "Goose Rocks Beach, the best shoreline beach on southern Maine."
Explore Eastern Trail: Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park provides access to nature paths. A reviewer shared, "It is within a mile of the Audubon center office, where you can either put in your own kayak/canoe or rent one. 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."
Adult-focused areas: Bayley's Camping Resort offers designated spaces for mature campers. A reviewer noted, "We like to stay in the 'south section' which tends to have less kids because it is farther away from the 'action.' Plus, it is close to the Little River Complex which is an adult-only section with pool, hot tubs, café, bathhouse, and laundry."
Farm-based camping: Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground combines agriculture with camping. One visitor shared, "This campground was really beautiful. My kids enjoyed visiting with the farm animals and walking along the rocky shore each day." Another noted the "working farm is open to visit and walk around. Pet the baby cows and see the pigs and goats."
Yurt camping options: Several campgrounds near Old Orchard Beach offer yurt accommodations for those seeking alternative lodging. A camper at Wolfe's Neck described their experience: "A unique opportunity to stay and relax on a farm by the ocean. We stayed on waters edge in a band of trees, breezes, birds, and fish jumping."
Site selection matters: At many campgrounds, location within the property significantly impacts experience. At Old Orchard Beach Campground, a visitor advised, "We liked the sections in the back (Bear Brook and Black Forest) which are set away from the entrance and the majority of activities."
Seasonal timing affects crowds: Visiting during shoulder seasons changes the experience considerably. A camper noted, "We visited in the off-season but can only imagine the park gets pretty busy especially in the front section where the swimming pool, arcade, camp store, and other activities are located."
Mosquito preparation essential: The coastal marsh environment creates ideal conditions for insects. A Wild Duck Adult Campground visitor warned, "The mosquitoes 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."
Multiple pool options: Paradise Park Resort provides water recreation for all ages. A reviewer mentioned, "This campground is very cute, oriented to families and couples. There are multiple pools and playgrounds. One pool has a hot tub for kids."
Educational farm experiences: When staying at Wolfe's Neck, take advantage of their learning opportunities. A visitor shared, "The farm is now open to the public, free of charge every day and is committed to continuing and improving upon the long tradition of sustainable agriculture, recreation and education while preserving its open space."
Off-peak yurt camping: For families considering yurt camping near Old Orchard Beach, Maine in shoulder seasons, timing matters. As one camper at Paradise Park stated, "We're typically state park campers, but decided to stay 2 nights at a resort campground to recharge and be close to the beach. We had a great experience!"
Site drainage concerns: After heavy rain, some sites experience flooding. At Paradise Park, a camper reported, "Tent site unfortunately flooded with an inch of rain during storm."
Internet connectivity varies: For those needing reliable connection, choose sites carefully. One RVer at Wild Duck Adult Campground advised, "Wifi not great and we have starlink - lots of obstruction so if you need uninterrupted access I'd check with the front desk to see if there are clearer areas for your satellite."
Hookup options: When reserving, verify exactly what utilities are available. At Sandy Pines Campground, a reviewer pointed out, "While I love having all the amenities, I think we would have enjoyed one of the electric only sites closer to the Marsh."
