Campers particularly value the lake access at Sennebec Lake Campground and Lake St. George State Park, with swimming and kayaking opportunities frequently mentioned in feedback. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, tent campers often prefer the more wooded sites that offer greater privacy and shade, while RV campers appreciate the level sites with hookups. Family-friendly amenities vary significantly between campgrounds, with state parks offering more natural settings and private campgrounds providing additional recreation facilities like playgrounds, swimming pools, and camp stores.

LegendBoothbay Craft Brewery & RV Resort
Best brewery and glamping spot
This 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.

Quiet and Pleasant
Spent a few days here in early October. Pleasant host, easy check-in, and quiet campground with full hookups. Minutes from the highway and an hour or so from Acadia.

Timberland Acres RV Park
Acadia Visit
This is a BIG campground with lots of amenities. Laundry, dog park, bath house, etc…. The size of the place makes using some of the amenities prohibitively—you could walk well over a quarter mile to get to the bath house. Generally a very clean location with easy access to the road to Acadia NP.

Amazing site
This has been our favorite site yet! We at C54 which is apparently the best site. We have a roof top tent and the site had power and water. It is a “corner lot”! It has so much room and is right near the bathroom and showers. You are in the woods and there is a beautiful lake with kayak rentals right on site. The staff was so kind and helpful. We felt they were truly happy we were there.
Dana M.GuideLamoine State Park Campground
Great Find!
Nice state campground. Older style restrooms and showers but clean. We got a beautiful site looking out at the bay. We will likely extend our already booked 2 night stay.

Blackwoods Campground — Acadia National Park
Camping from a truck bed
Overall great campsite! However it was raining here so if you are truck bed camping make sure to have another cover to hangout under. There aren’t many places to hangout on site. Also, showers are not in the park they are located a “short” walk from loop B if you are midway and a long walk from loop A- they also cost quarters to operate. Probably close to a mile walk from loop A and about .5 to loop B

Narrows Too Camping Resort
Comfortable and accommodating
This is our first time at Narrows Too, we fount the staff to be helpful. The sites are big enough to get large RV’s in. There were several 40’-45’ buses and fifth wheels at the campground. Some of the water facing sites are pretty snug but the pull through we had was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again!

Guide to Searsmont
Camping options near Searsmont, Maine extend through the midcoast region, with sites situated among lakes, forests, and coastal areas. The region sits at elevations ranging from sea level to about 1,000 feet, creating varied camping terrain. Most campgrounds operate from mid-May through mid-October, with overnight temperatures that can drop into the 40s even during summer months.
What to do
Hiking at Camden Hills State Park: Located about 20 minutes from Searsmont, this park offers multiple trail options. "The park has miles and miles of hiking trails just outside our doorstep. Driving the tour road to the summit of Mt. Battie (elevation 800') is a must and the views are spectacular (especially for watching the sunrise)," notes Nancy W. from Camden Hills State Park Campground.
Kayaking on Sennebec Lake: The calm waters of this lake provide excellent paddling opportunities. "We love the proximity to the lake with easy access for kayaking and swimming," shares Pam A. from Sennebec Lake Campground, which offers 120 sites with direct water access.
Visiting nearby coastal towns: The area serves as a central base for exploring Maine's midcoast. "The campground is centrally located, just at the edge of downtown Camden. It provides a great home base for hiking, biking, kayaking and exploring the Camden/Rockland area," explains Heather C., who visited Camden Hills State Park.
What campers like
Oceanfront experiences: Waterfront sites provide memorable coastal camping. "The ocean overlook is beautiful in the morning sunrise," reports Jess Y. from Megunticook Campground, which features both wooded sites and ocean views.
Social activities: Many campgrounds organize community events. "The park organizes a lot of group activities including pot lucks, lobster shore dinners, and free wine and beer during Friday Happy Hours," writes Nancy W. who stayed at Moorings Campground near Belfast.
Access to small towns: Proximity to Maine's coastal communities rates highly. "This was the perfect location to explore the mid Maine coast. The camp sites are large and well spaced apart," says Jacki B. about Camden Hills State Park Campground, adding, "We loved the view from the top of Mt. Battie."
What you should know
Site selection matters: Different sites offer varying experiences and privacy levels. "The sites closest to rt. 3 are wooded with more privacy compared to those scattered along the water front and within the grassy field," notes Gavin T. about Lake St. George State Park Campground, pointing out that "the two gem sites are 31S and 30U."
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. Kevin W. from Megunticook by the Sea notes, "The only downside to this campground is traffic noise from Route 1. Not bad at night but it does start early in the morning."
Seasonal variations: Amenities change throughout the season. "The park rangers were very friendly. There is a charge for Wi-Fi, and cell service is good enough," reports Heather C. about Camden Hills, while another reviewer mentions, "We arrived just a few days after the park opened for the season so the campground was especially quiet."
