LegendThis 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.
TravelerRelaxing! Fun! Camping the way camping should be!! Nice wooded sites! Super friendly seasonals! The owner is the best and his campground is beautiful! You can tell he puts the “happy” in camping!! Stay Happy!!
RangerI have stayed in about 20 campgrounds in the past two months and this was by far the loudest despite being pretty empty. Kids screeching and screaming for about 6 hours a day, including weekdays. Had one come knocking on my door while I was working to try and sell keychains. Some uncontrollable dogs in our loop as well. Despite the lack of peace, the campground itself was in good shape and had a lot of amenities.
ScoutVery Clean. They mow something everyday. Asphalt roads. Easy access to every spot. Extra clean showers and restrooms. They have activities for all ages. But no dog park. Why not? They have plenty of room.
GuideWe are used to dispersed out in the woods.
We are older and stayed 4 nights in the tent. The facility had the bathroom, we travel with our potty. The showers weee extremely nice. Great water pressure and hot water.
The camp sites are close together about 10 ft between. If you are looking for very remote and no one around you this is not the place for you.
We stayed in lot 7 right by the trail access. We were trying to sleep in but the early morning hikers walk right by the site.
The staff was super helpful, they had fire wood bundles there reasonably priced. It was to far from town either.
We found everyone to be very friendly and they all obeyed the dog leash rules that was excellent.
If you have an expensive car watch the falling acorns. 4 days of them I may have to make an insurance claim, not to mention I got hit by one that left a bruise.
The kitchen area was great for coffee we didn’t even have to fire up the generator.
The bathroom area set towards the middle, we are older and don’t run as fast so we always bring our camp toilet. They kept the bathrooms clean the toilet paper was good. Not a regular toilet no flushing or water or anything.
GuideIt's a cute campground with a beach and boat dock. Laundry, pool, showers all available but I didn't use them.
GuideWater and electricity only at sites. Dump station available. Fire pit, table and trees at most sites. Lots of trees and peace here.
GuideThey offer both Military and Good Sam discounts. Very nice park. Clean bathrooms and showers. Even a dog park!
RangerLOVE this campground. Beautiful grounds with campsites nestled in a hemlock pine forest with lots of forest all around. So peaceful. Full hookup. Nearby Kennebunk and Kennebunk Port. No hiking trail on the grounds but many a short drive away. Pickleball and disc golf nearby. Only bummer was we wish we stayed longer. We would love to return for a week or more!
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.
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.
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."
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."
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.
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.
