Pine Ridge Campground and Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort provide reliable accommodations for campers with pets near Parsonsfield, Maine. Both established campgrounds feature full hookup sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and clean facilities welcoming to pets of all sizes. Pine Ridge Campground in Acton offers 59 spacious sites across tent camping, RV spots, and pet-friendly cabin options. Danforth Bay in Freedom, New Hampshire extends similar pet amenities with the addition of lakefront access where dogs can enjoy swimming. The sites at Danforth Bay are notably large and well-spaced, providing ample room for pets to relax while maintaining appropriate distance from neighboring campers. Security staff strictly enforce quiet hours to ensure peaceful evenings for all guests and their pets. The campground security's enforcement can sometimes be overzealous with campfire policies.
Multiple hiking trails accessible from these pet-friendly campgrounds provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs. Danforth Bay offers kayak rentals for exploring the waterways with pets and features Mary's Mountain, an on-site hiking trail accessible from the RV storage area. Most campgrounds in the region maintain standard leash policies requiring dogs to be secured at all times outside of designated pet areas. Nearby pet supply stores in Ossipee and Conway provide emergency food, leash replacements, or other pet necessities during extended stays. White Lake State Park Campground offers an alternative camping experience with tent sites and RV spots that accommodate pets, though with fewer amenities than the private resorts. Seasonal considerations affect pet camping options, with most facilities operating from May through October. The region's lakes and streams provide plenty of water access points where dogs can cool off during summer camping trips.

ScoutThe grounds are well maintained with flowers planted everywhere. Staff is extra friendly. Bathrooms and showers could use updating but were spotless. Very pet friendly with dog park, agility equipment, dog pond and dog wash.
RangerConsider the Thousand Trails membership when booking this site. Our annual membership fees basically covered what it would cost to camp here for two weeks.
The campground has good proximity to Orchard Beach and Portland. However, the spots are pretty tight, and the WiFi is awful away from the registration office. We were in the wooded area, but those camping on the outskirts seemed able to utilize their Starlink.
The dog park and pool were small but nice. The bathroom facilities were pretty good, though they weren't cleaned as often as they should be.
GuideThe Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.
We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.
There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.
The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!
This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!
We had a great trip and will definitely be back!
ScoutGreat 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.
TravelerLarge campsites, clean amenities, nice dog park, great store with everything you need and located near like Winni.
GuideAbsolutely beautiful! Clean, quiet, had a shaded site near the dog park which was awesome for us with our pups
ScoutWe enjoyed our stay here and our dog loved the dog park! We would highly recommend this campground.
ScoutReservations online was super easy, and the hosts are great. They allowed me to drive around and look at the other campsites as I was needing a site with limited/no tree coverage. Plus I’m still learning how to handle my van, so was looking for a very flat spot. Bathrooms are nice and clean, the grounds are nice and clean, and the dog park is a great bonus.
TravelerUpon arrival staff was nice. They did ask for $10 cash gate card fee. At the time of rival I did not have cash on me. They did allow me to pay it later on during our visit. As we traveled the road to our camp site I was disappointed in the condition of the roads and how tight everything is. Again, the campsite was beautiful with access and frontage on the pond. I was also not impressed with the dog park it was quite a hike from our campsite and near the office. It would have been nicer to have the dog park in the camping area. The day we were leaving we made a special trip to the atm, to get the required $10 cash fee. As we departed I went into the office to check out, return the gate card, and pay the fee. At that time, I handed the clerk the $10 and explained that I owed it. She in turn explained that I did not owe them any money as the $10 was a deposit in case you did not return the card. I was less than impressed with how that was explained at the beginning and the additional trip we had to make.
Campers visiting Parsonsfield, Maine find themselves in Maine's foothills region where the Ossipee River runs through York County at approximately 400 feet elevation. The area experiences warm summer days with cooler nights, ideal for tent camping from late May through September. Water levels in local rivers and lakes fluctuate seasonally, affecting water recreation opportunities near campgrounds.
Water activities on the Saco River: Multiple campgrounds provide direct access for tubing and kayaking. At On the Saco Family Campground, visitors can arrange boat rentals and shuttle services. "Took a shuttle up with some kayaks- reasonably priced- and drifted back down 10 miles right to our site!" reports camper Kristy B.
Mountain hiking opportunities: Pleasant Mountain offers panoramic views of the region within driving distance of most Parsonsfield campgrounds. "Make sure to head not far down the road and climb up to the peak of Pleasant Mountain to get an incredible view of the entire area," suggests Asher K. from On the Saco Family Campground.
Boardwalk nature trails: Chocorua KOA features accessible nature walks through wetlands. "There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails," notes Erin M., who adds that some trails "need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth."
Spacious waterfront sites: Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort receives consistent praise for its waterfront accommodations. Jake C. notes, "Its rare to find a campground with so many spacious wooded sites overlooking the water." The sites maintain enough separation for privacy while still offering lake views.
Clean bathroom facilities: At White Lake State Park Campground, the bathrooms receive regular maintenance. "The bathrooms at the beach include flush toilets, but no showers. In the campground there are coin-operated, hot and clean showers," reports Jean C., though noting that some toilet flushing mechanisms needed repair.
Quiet camping options: Some campgrounds enforce strict quiet hours for families seeking peace. "While not an adult only campground, it's mostly comprised of adults only," reports Becca H. about Pine Ridge Campground, calling it "peaceful and quiet all the time."
Campground flooding concerns: Some locations experience occasional flooding during heavy rains. At Eastern Slope Camping Area, past visitors noted flooding issues. One reviewer observed, "When it rains it floods the sites near the bathroom toward the beginning of the entrance."
Site privacy varies significantly: Many campgrounds feature sites with minimal separation. At White Lake State Park, Sable W. reports, "Our site was in very close proximity to all of the neighboring sites... It wouldn't have been so much of a problem if the sites weren't SO close to each other."
Security enforcement differences: Campground security standards vary with some locations strictly enforcing quiet hours and fire regulations. Jeremy P. at Danforth Bay notes that security can be "extremely aggressive" about fire rules, with staff being "right in our face yelling at us and telling us that she wasn't leaving until the fire is out including the coals."
Look for scheduled activities: Family-focused campgrounds often run regular events. At Acres Of Wildlife Family Campground, "There is activities and 2/3 playgrounds," according to Darci F., who calls it "FULL of fun for kids."
Select campgrounds with swim areas: Many families appreciate designated swimming spots with gradual entries. Angela T. explains that at White Lake State Park, "The lake itself is unreal, with the mountains in the background it just feels incredibly peaceful and serene," noting that "the swimming area is shallow for quite a distance so you can feel comfortable with kids."
Consider noise levels: Family campgrounds can become lively with children. Sebastian D. notes that Whits End Campground is a "Very crowded campground for big/loud groups with children. Definitely a good place for a family of kids looking for a vacation over nature."
Check site leveling requirements: Many RV sites in the Parsonsfield region require significant leveling. Michael K. from Chocorua KOA notes, "Most of the waterfront sites are back in, and the only level part of the site is away from the deck and water... when I say a lot, I mean my 5" drive on leveling blocks weren't enough."
Verify electrical connections: RVers should confirm hookup specifications before booking. "Our site was labeled as a 50 amp connection, but it wasn't, it was 30 amp. So double check that," advises Michael K., emphasizing the importance of verifying utility information directly with campgrounds.
Site selection for privacy: For RVers seeking more secluded options, request sites away from main roads and facilities. "Sites are small, stacked close together, and not level," reports J.B. about Beaver Hollow Campground, highlighting the importance of researching site layout before committing.
