    Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground

    Beautiful spot!

    We had a beautiful waterfront site, 10 minutes from downtown Freeport. The campground is a working farm that would be great for the kids. We will definitely be back.806

    Megunticook Campground

    Watch out for their prices

    Online the prices was 40$ for a tent site. We didn’t need water or electric just a spot to sleep for the night. I called to reserve cause the website wasn’t very easy to work with and the man on the phone said 76$ but couldn’t explain costs and was rude with the “you’ll not find another spot for this cheap!” Which we did. For less than half that cost. So watch out on prices and the extra charges.

    Chewonki Campground

    Friendly campground

    From booking to check in it was warm and welcoming. Pull in full hook up site. Coin operated shower. Clean and very well maintained. Property is very nice. Some Rt 1 noise at a distance but nothing unbearable.

    Duck Puddle Campground

    Great waterfront sites!

    We love coming to Duck Puddle in the shoulder season (spring and fall) when it’s quiet. The waterfront sites (61-66) offer direct access to the lake and have trees between the site for a more private feel. Some have a private dock for fishing or sitting, others have a small beach area. The lake is great for swimming and paddling.

    The rest of the campground is more busy and has the sites closer together, which isn’t our scene. Lots of fun stuff for kids to do and evening activities if you like that sort of thing.

    Bradbury Mountain State Park Campground

    Bradbury Mountain Campground

    Bradbury Mountain Campground

    Nice trail that borders campground. Saw group of cyclists and hikers use it during stay. No WiFi but T-Mobile accessible. Toilet is rustic, short wooden walls surrounding vault toilet. Various sized campsites yet not crowded. Kitchen area is a cool feature & offers campers use of community utensils & pans (although we didn't need to use). Kitchen has hot water to wash dishes and microwave to warm food. Town of Freeport is popular and LL Bean has huge shopping campus.

    Great Family campground!

    The amenities here make it a wonderful place for kids and adults!!   Nice,  clean and quiet!    I stayed on a spot by the water, that was totally worth the upgrade.

    Sandy Pines Campground

    Amazing location and campground amenities

    We had an amazing long weekend at Sandy Pines and will definitely plan to return. I loved that there was a tent only area that felt a little more secluded and quiet with some nice privacy between sites. The playground and pool were a hit with the kids. The bathrooms were always clean and single user, some had showers as well. The proximity to goose rocks beach was a major plus!


Guide to Sebasco Estates

The Sebasco Estates area of Maine offers diverse camping opportunities along the rocky Atlantic coastline, where tidal ranges can exceed 9-11 feet daily. Midcoast Maine's summer temperatures typically range from 55-80°F with frequent morning fog and occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Camping spots near Sebasco Estates, Maine provide unique access to both wooded inland sites and oceanfront locations, with most campgrounds maintaining modest elevation changes for easy site navigation.

What to Do

Wildlife viewing from the water: Take advantage of Sagadahoc Bay Campground's oceanfront access where "at low tide you can walk over a mile out towards the lighthouse on Sequin Island" and observe "wild life like hermit crabs, crabs, seagulls" in their natural habitat.

Kayaking at various tides: Experience the changing coastal landscape as many campgrounds offer direct water access. "We put our kayaks into the water right at the beach and had a nice float in the bay" at Thomas Point Beach, where you can explore the tidal inlets and hidden coves.

Local farm experiences: Visit Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground which is "located on an organic dairy farm" with agricultural activities integrated into the camping experience. As one camper notes, "the working farm is open to visit and walk around. Pet the baby cows and see the pigs and goats."

Botanical gardens excursion: Take a short drive to the nearby Maine Botanical Gardens from several area campgrounds. "Don't miss the Guardians of the Seeds (trolls) at the Botanical Gardens!" recommends one visitor staying at the Boothbay Craft Brewery & RV Resort, calling it "truly a one of a kind" experience.

What Campers Like

Fresh seafood delivered to campsites: Multiple campgrounds in the region offer unique seafood dining options. At Meadowbrook Camping, guests appreciate the convenience of "lobsters for sale straight out of the tank cooked and delivered to your site every day. Don't forget to add corn and potatoes."

Tidal beaches for exploration: Hermit Island Campground provides distinctive beach access with one camper noting it's "surrounded on 3 sides by ocean. There are numerous coves and larger beaches to swim at. One can easily bike to all the rocky coasts or sandy beaches."

Quiet, unplugged atmosphere: Many campgrounds maintain policies that foster a peaceful environment. At Hermit Island, "No one is allowed into the campground who isn't registered to camp, which can be frustrating, but it keeps the spot private and quiet" and there's "No cell service (you may be able to get a little at the office)."

Scenic sunrise and sunset views: Winslow Park And Campground offers prime viewing spots with one camper sharing, "The bay view sites are our favorite, we get front row seats every morning to the sunrise on the water, we just have to peek outside our tent."

What You Should Know

Reservation systems vary widely: Some campgrounds maintain traditional booking methods. At Hermit Island Campground, "This campground does not have an online reservation system. You have to mail in your request or call. When calling during the 'winter' months, staff can only be reached from 9:00-2:00."

Insect preparation is essential: Be ready for coastal insects, particularly in wooded sites. One camper at Desert of Maine Campground advises, "It is coastal Maine and there are mean mosquitoes. My all natural bug spray which is usually strong enough for NY bugs is not effective there."

Tidal considerations for activities: Plan water-based activities around tide schedules. At Sagadahoc Bay, "when the tide goes out you can walk for forever. Lots of people come here to clam" but timing is crucial as "the tides are crazy in Maine so be careful if you use the boat launch that you don't get stuck on a mud flat."

Limited cell service: Many campgrounds have minimal connectivity. One camper at Hermit Island notes the benefit: "I love the feeling of 'being in the middle of nowhere with no cell service' it really brings back the good old days of camping, you have to find your own fun."

Tips for Camping with Families

Beach variety for different ages: Shore Hills Campground & RV Park offers "a nice walkway onto a small island in the lake" that's perfect for family exploration, while still being just "about 4 miles or so into Boothbay Harbor Maine" for convenient access to town amenities.

Farm-based educational opportunities: Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground provides unique learning experiences where "kids really enjoy running in field and that there is a working farm within the camp ground," making it ideal for introducing children to agriculture and sustainable practices.

Playground and common area access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated children's facilities. Desert of Maine Campground features "a nice little shop with ice cream and an amazing playground for the kids" where "children find and entertain each other in the common area."

Budget-friendly base location: Consider strategic positioning for regional exploration. Thomas Point Beach provides good value as "a great location for visiting the downtown and other Maine towns like Wiscasset and Easy Boothbay" without the premium prices of waterfront locations.

Tips from RVers

Extension cord requirements: At several campgrounds, electrical connections may require additional equipment. At Thomas Point Beach, "the sites were only average, no water hook ups, and the electric hook up required a 50 ft. extension cord to reach a pole" so come prepared with proper gear.

Site selection for larger rigs: Choose carefully based on your vehicle size. At Chewonki Campground, "Camper sites in the field have the best views!" while at Shore Hills, "The 50-amp full hook-up sites towards the front of the park are closer together with not as much privacy and near the road."

Leveling challenges: Be prepared for uneven terrain at some sites. One RVer at Meadowbrook Camping noted, "We camped in a 45' RV and wanted a 50 amps full hook-up site severely limited our choices. We were assigned a pull thru that had such a steep incline we determined it best to actually back into the site."

Seasonal operational limitations: Most RV-friendly campgrounds in the region operate from May through mid-October. One camper at Chewonki Campground mentions visiting during "late September weekend" which offered "Great Fall Camping, Wonderful Views" with fewer crowds than peak summer months.
