So much fun!
Went on a weekend and it was still very peaceful! Lots to do on such a beautiful back road. We stayed at two different sites each night we were there and both were equally beautiful and peaceful

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds near Sebago, Maine range from established state park facilities to private family campgrounds, with many offering waterfront access to Sebago Lake and surrounding water bodies. Sebago Lake State Park Campground provides tent and RV sites with water and electric hookups, while private options like Naples Campground and Loon's Haven Family Campground offer additional amenities including cabin rentals. The region includes several campgrounds in Naples and Casco that feature boat-in access, allowing campers to arrive by water or enjoy boating during their stay. Most campgrounds in the area maintain seasonal operations, typically open from May through October.
Camping availability peaks during summer months when water recreation is most popular, with many campgrounds requiring reservations well in advance. According to one visitor, "Sebago Lake State Park is close to Portland, Maine and neighboring towns. Nice to be close to home so the drive to arrive isn't so long." Road access to most campgrounds is well-maintained, with paved routes leading to major facilities. Weather conditions remain relatively mild during the camping season, though early spring and late fall can bring cooler temperatures and occasional rain. Cell service is generally available throughout the region, though coverage may vary in more remote areas. Most campgrounds provide basic amenities including drinking water, toilets, and shower facilities, with many also offering electric hookups and dump stations for RVs.
The waterfront camping experience draws many visitors to the Sebago Lake region. Several campgrounds provide direct lake access with beaches and boat launches, making water recreation a central activity. A camper noted that "Sebago Lake is a great state park, one of the few in Maine that offers hook-ups. Its popularity results in higher rates and demand for reservations." Family-friendly amenities are common throughout the area, with playgrounds, organized activities, and camp stores available at many locations. While waterfront sites tend to be more expensive and book quickly, they offer convenient access to swimming, fishing, and boating opportunities. Campers seeking more seclusion may prefer sites set back from the water in wooded areas, which often provide more privacy and shade but still maintain reasonable access to lake amenities.

Serene and Clean
This 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

Gunstock Campground
Apparently Your Reserved Site Is More of a Suggestion
⭐**Gunstock Campground: Apparently Your Reserved Site Is More of a Suggestion**
I don't believe I have**ever** left a negative Google review. I generally think that when something goes wrong, you contact the business, give them an opportunity to make it right, and most businesses are genuinely interested in doing exactly that.
Gunstock Campground has cured me of that quaint notion.
I reserved a full-hookup campsite for two nights. I was unable to make it there the first night, but arrived shortly after 7:00 a.m. the next morning. The camp store, where registration takes place, wasn't open yet, so I headed out for my planned hike— about six miles through the Belknaps, including summiting Rowe twice and Gunstock.
By the time I returned, I was utterly exhausted, starving, and actually feeling weak. My ambitions for the afternoon were modest:**eat something, take a shower, and collapse at the campsite I had paid for.**
The staff at the camp store greeted me warmly, checked me in, and sent me on my way.
I drove to my site. There was already a camper in it. Not merely*parked* there, mind you. They had apparently moved right in. They were hooked up to**my site's water and electric**, with water spraying from their ill-fitting hose connection and forming a rather impressive puddle underneath the camper.
I returned to the camp store to report that someone had apparently activated Gunstock's new**"Choose Any Site You Like"** camping plan. A staff member went down to speak with them and came back to tell me they were "packing up." Excellent! My mistake was assuming" packing up" meant**leaving**. It did not.
Apparently these campers had actually reserved a site**two rows away** that had**no water or electric**. Yet somehow, sometime after arriving the previous night, they had accidentally found themselves two rows over, in my clearly different site, connected to utilities their reservation didn't include.
We've all made mistakes. I've occasionally parked one space away from where I intended. I've never accidentally parked**two rows away, hooked myself up to someone else's electricity and water, and spent the night.**
But perhaps I lack imagination.
After they had now consumed about an hour of my afternoon— which, incidentally, is an hour I normally bill at attorney rates— I went back toward my site expecting to find it finally vacated.
And it was! Because Gunstock had moved these folks to another site**two spaces away from me**, apparently allowing them to pay for the upgrade they had already been test-driving. So the people who knowingly or unknowingly occupied my reserved full-hookup site, used the utilities, and delayed me from getting into the site I paid for were rewarded with...a nearby full-hookup site.
They never walked over to apologize. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable staying. It's difficult to relax at a campground when you've just discovered that site assignments appear to operate somewhat on the honor system— and that when someone helps themselves to your reserved site and utilities, management's solution is apparently to make sure *they* remain comfortably accommodated nearby. So I left. On my way home, I called Gunstock and asked for a refund. Surely, I thought, this would be the easy part. After all, I had paid for two nights, hadn't used the first, couldn't get into my site when I arrived for the second, waited while unauthorized occupants vacated it, and ultimately left because the entire experience had become so unpleasant.
Nope. Instead, the staff member **defended the other campers**. I was told they arrived late and "mistakenly" took my site. I was even told they supposedly **hadn't used the utilities**. This was particularly fascinating information for me to receive because **I PERSONALLY SAW THEM HOOKED UP TO THE WATER AND ELECTRIC.** I also took photographs. Including the enormous puddle underneath their camper from the leaking water connection. But apparently my eyewitness account and photographs were no match for the alternative version of events.
For my inconvenience, however, Gunstock did give me a coupon for a **free Bavarian pretzel**. So there is that.
I paid for a full-hookup campsite. Someone else occupied it and used the hookups. I lost roughly an hour waiting to access what I had reserved. The other campers were accommodated with an upgraded site nearby. I left because I no longer felt comfortable staying. And when I asked Gunstock to make the situation right, they refused to refund me and instead argued with me about things **I had personally witnessed and photographed**. The most disappointing part isn't that another camper took my site. Campers can behave badly. Businesses can't control everything their customers do. **What a business CAN control is how it responds when that happens. ** Gunstock had every opportunity to turn this into a mildly annoying story about a camping mix-up. Instead, they turned it into my first negative Google review.
But hey... **I do have that free pretzel coupon.**

TravelerMoose Brook State Park Campground
Like Dispersed Camping... For $42
Pros: We have the p lube nearly to ourselves, thus it was very similar to dispersed camping. Nice little campground with two small ponds (One for fishing, the other for swimming). Nothing very remarkable, though.
Cons: As others have mentioned, if you want flush toilets and pay showers, you have to either stay at the more crowded, larger loop or walk across the highway to get to those amenities.

Quiet
We stayed midweek and the park was 1/2 empty. Lots of kids activities. Wonderful bathrooms and showers. Great laundry. Close to Freeport but not the water
Richard P.ScoutSebago Lake Family Campground
Find a better place!
We 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!

Hemlock Grove Campground
Great stay! :)

Jen P.TravelerTwin Mountain Campground
Lovely and peaceful
It was everything we were looking for, right on the river, quiet and clean, the section we stayed in was all tent camping so we weren’t sandwiched in between a bunch of RVs blocking the view. There was no lights, generators or loud music. Alcohol wasn’t permitted so that really cuts down on a lot of unnecessary nonsense. Pets are permitted and our dog loved it. It was very pleasant and relaxing. Can’t wait to go back.

GuideTown Hall Road Dispersed
Dispersed it is!
Stayed 8 nights with complete solitude. Bugs weren't too bad. There were plenty of dead birch trees and beech trees for firewood. Not any evergreens though. Site 16 has two campsites. I took the further one with plenty of room. Good size fire pit, but people before me left some large pieces of wood not completely put out along with lit coals.
Guide to Sebago
Camping near Sebago, Maine takes place within the Lakes Region where numerous bodies of water interconnect through natural channels and the historic Songo Lock system. Most Sebago area campgrounds operate from May through mid-October, with July and August bringing warmer water temperatures averaging 70-75°F. The region features sandy shorelines unusual for New England lakes, making it particularly suitable for beach camping.
What to do
Boating through connected waterways: Campers can navigate from Sebago Lake to Long Lake through the Songo River and locks. "You can take the boat up river through the songo locks. All the way up to long lake. Stop at Naples causeway for a bite to eat. Plenty of good area hikes near by," notes Joshua B. from Sebago Lake State Park Campground.
Rope swing adventures: For thrill-seekers, local ponds feature natural swimming spots with rope swings. "The pond is crystal clear and we boated over to one of the small islands to find a rope swing which provided entertainment and memories for my children. There is also a bigger rope swing directly across the pond from the beach," explains Angela M. from Loon's Haven Family Campground.
Summit hiking: Pleasant Mountain offers panoramic views of the lakes region for those seeking elevation. "If you are in the area I also suggest taking a trek up to Pleasant Mountain via the southwest ridge trail. It is a trek but well worth the views at the top," recommends Asher K. from River Run Campground.
What campers like
Secluded waterfront sites: Many campgrounds offer private lakeside spots despite overall campground capacity. "First time I camped out here I didn't realize how secluded each site was! It was great. However that means everything is a decent walk away. The river is right there and great to sit next to and just watch go by," reports Stephanie C. about River Run Campground.
Pristine water quality: The region's lakes maintain exceptional clarity and cleanliness. "Sebago Lake is beautiful. Sites are very close together. Luckily many of the sites around me were not occupied but I get the feeling that is rare. Bathrooms were clean. Beach areas were very nice for relaxing," shares Rebecca L. from Sebago Lake State Park Campground.
Wildlife watching: The lakes region offers opportunities to observe local fauna. "Loons loons everywhere. Lots of wildlife. Good facilities. Full hookups for boondockers. Dump station, bath house, laundry facilities, and fire pits throughout campsites," notes Jeremy G. about Lakeside Pines Campground.
What you should know
Site spacing varies significantly: Campground density differs widely across the region. "The sites are large and spaced out well. The river is great for swimming. You can take a kayak or tube trip by putting in upstream and floating back to your own site," explains K.R. about River Run Campground, while others note closer quarters at state parks.
Seasonal sites dominate some campgrounds: Many facilities cater primarily to long-term campers. "It appears that a majority of the tenants who were there during our visit were long term tenants so it has a bit of a different feel than some of the other campgrounds we've visited," observes Katie B. about Lakeside Pines Campground.
Swimming conditions can vary: Lake conditions change based on boat traffic and time of day. "The water was very rough because of large boat traffic, but it was still lovely," mentions J.B. from Sebago Lake Family Campground. Another camper noted restrictions due to waterfowl: "Beautiful camp ground with many activities, kayaking available. However sometimes the lake is not swim able due to duckage."
Tips for camping with families
Look for campgrounds with organized activities: Some facilities offer structured entertainment for children. "We've been going here each year with our boys for 5 years. It's the only camp ground my kids request! Amazing family activities to keep kids occupied, great sites, clean bathrooms (free showers), and a good restaurant if you don't want to cook," says Sarah L. about Acres Of Wildlife Family Campground.
Consider bike-friendly campgrounds: Level terrain makes cycling practical for younger campers. "We loved the campground and it is great for our eight year old daughter who can safely ride her bike around with the other kids at the campground, enjoy the beach and enjoy the playground," shares Elissa E. about Sebago Lake State Park.
Check noise levels before booking: Some campgrounds have more active atmospheres than others. "This campground was in the woods and was well maintained. The campsites definitely felt like they were on top of each other and are pretty small. 2 sites were within 15ft of our fire pit," mentions Jess G. about Sebago Lake State Park.
Tips from RVers
Site access challenges: Some campgrounds have tight access roads. "The road is tight so be prepared to drive close to trees," warns Katie B. about Lakeside Pines Campground. Similarly, Jeremy G. notes, "Narrow driving lanes for inexperienced campers."
Look for separate RV sections: Some campgrounds designate specific areas for motorized camping. "This is a large campground right on the lake. Half of area is set up with RV hookups, so it nicely separates the tents from the RVs," explains Jennifer F. about Sebago Lake State Park Campground.
Site utility placement varies: Hookup locations may require additional equipment. "Be sure to bring extensions for electrical and sewer as a lot of sites are set up with difficult connection spots. Relatively level sites, long dirt road to get to is a bit of a problem," advises Ed C. about Colonial Mast Campground.
