    Freeport / Durham KOA

    Great spot, great hosts

    Kid and pet friendly. Lots of activities for kids including a flashlight candy hunt, water slide, and s’more roast. We’ve been coming back for years and the addition of a glamping tent, cabins, and domes have made it even nicer!

    Martin Stream Campground

    Three days in a cabin

    We rented a one room cabin that was perfect for two who flew in without camping gear. Fridge, coffee pot, microwave and AC. One queen bed and a bunk bed made for comfortable sleeping and a fire pit was even included. This site is located on a beautiful property and very quiet. There is also a pool and we’ll stocked store and the Zach and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and that’s why I gave it five stares. We will stay again if in the area and I recommend you give this place a try. Trailer or tent sites are here as well as a ‘glamming’ canvas tent for a more romantic stay. 😉

    Martin Stream Campground

    Second stay

    We tented for two nights mid-week in 2020 and booked the cabin for Memorial Day weekend 2021. I thought we might like it less completely booked but that wasn't the case. The owners are quality people, the seasonal folks are super nice, the facilities are lovely. The weather was cold and rainy but there was still a great vibe and tons of activities. The cabin was cozy but had a microwave, coffee pot, and fridge (no need to worry about ice). Outside we had a canopy, fire ring and grill. The kids had a blast in the heated pool and on the playground.

    Tops’l Farm

    Wow...Awesome Experience

    This place is like the Ritz Carlton of campgrounds! The owners took a farm and converted into an upscale camping experience. They have thought of everything!

    You can choose to stay in a tent or a cabin. The tents are outfitted with two beds and a nice outdoor seating area. Candles and solar lights will keep it illuminated at night. They include special touches such as branded matches and a carafe full of water on the bedside table. Each site has its own firepit and porch.

    The common spaces are equally as luxurious. The bathhouse was just like a four-star hotel. They provide you with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There is even a hair dryer! Bug spray and lotion are also available for your use.

    There is a common space that includes picnic tables and a large fire pit. The bathhouse building also has charging stations for each tent so you can stay plugged in during your stay!

    Only downfall…There are quite a few of mosquitos. Thankfully they provide various bug spray's that you can use!

    Cool spot with super comfy cabins

    Super comfortable and cozy sleeping cabins in forest setting. Loved all the extras: wood-fire sauna, solar shower, cold plunge, picnic/eating space, outdoor seating spaces, games, fire pit, etc. We played the woodland disc golf course multiple times! Great way to experience the forest and end the day in cozy bed!! Ryan is an amazing host.

    Freeport / Durham KOA

    Good Location, Clean, Lots of Camping Options

    I have a love– hate relationship with KOA campgrounds. They tend to be overpriced and not consistent. You will find one that has nice sites at a decent price. Then, there are the others which are complete opposite. This KOA is on my good side.  There are lots of site choices, cabins, yurts, and tent sites to choose from.  The location is good as it is about 10-15 minutes far from the town of Freeport(home to L.L. Bean and tons of outlet stores), the pretty coastal town of South Freeport, four craft breweries and a cidery, and Bradbury Mountain State Park. The owners and work campers are very friendly and the super welcoming. Normally I am not concerned how nice people are but they go out of their way to make sure you get all the discounts you can and put you in a site that you prefer. 

    We have stayed here a few times and are always impressed how well-cared for the grounds are and how and clean the common areas, bathrooms, and pool are. The grass is always cut, weeds trimmed, fire pits cleaned and there is no trash lying on the ground. There are lots of seasonal sites but they are in the back portion of the park with the transients being in the front. The park has nice super long 50 amp FHU pull-thrus in the front of the park which will fit any length RV and tow vehicle. Some of these sites are “buddy” sites with a shared patio, but are so wide that even if you don’t know your neighbors, it would not be a bother because you are far enough apart. The only downside to these pull thrus is there is no shade. We tend to be there in cooler months so shade is not a problem. However, the rest of the campground has a very park-like feel with over 50 acres there is plenty of room to roam and even a short nature trail through a wooded area. Many sites backup against the woods or are in wooded areas so keep that in mind when making your reservation. We give this park two thumbs up for their dog park which is ten times the size of the average KOA dog park. My lab had plenty of room to run and chase a ball and there were never any other dogs there which was nice. Plus, it was clean and free of dog poop! Normally, there are plenty of activities like s’mores by the fire, crafts, pony rides (yes, they have their own ponies on site), ice cream social, hay rides but this year they were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We don’t use those amenities anyway so that wasn’t a problem but can see that would be fun activities for kids. We were in a buddy sites with our friends and liked the shared patio. Since we were in the open area, we were able to get both satellite with our roof-mounted dome and some over-the-air channels from Portland which is about 45 minutes away. All of our hook-ups were in an accessible place but we were also in a long pull thru and could position the RV in the site accordingly. 

    Some of the cons for this park are the lack of cable, so-so wifi, and the dusty gravel roads and pot holes. There are a few restrooms buildings scattered around the park which may not be close depending on what site you are in.

    Sandy Pines Campground

    Pristine beautiful campground

    This is high end camping! Cleanest nicest bathrooms and showers I’ve ever seen camping. Also fun game areas and a beautiful store which has good food too! The sites are very nice and not too close together. We tent camp but they also offer small cabins which looked adorable and glamping tents. Easy access to local trails and tourist spots. A fantastic campground I hope to return to

    Old Orchard Beach Campground

    Huge campground with lots of sites and amenities.

    Old Orchard Beach is a fun, family-oriented campground located in the fun little beach town of Old Orchard Beach. Old Orchard is known for their amusement park, arcade, pier, fun downtown, and expansive beach with seven miles of room to walk. Here you can stroll along the streets listening to the melodic sounds of an arcade, buy an airbrushed t-shirt and eat pier fries and fried dough. And the best thing is there is a trolley that takes you from the campground to the beach so you don’t have to deal with parking. 

    When the summer season is in full swing, there is lots to do in the campground and at the nearby Atlantic Ocean beach. There are lots of amenities in the campground like a basketball court, Wiffle ball field, horseshoes, badminton, playgrounds, arcade, swimming pools and hot tub, group bonfire, and dog park. The campground is quite large and divided into a variety of sections, some areas are all seasonal campers and others are for transients. The campground offers RV sites, cabin rentals, park model sites, and simple tent sites. We liked the sections in the back (Bear Brook and Black Forest) which are set away from the entrance and the majority of activities. We visited in the off-season but can only image the park gets pretty busy especially in the front section where the swimming pool, arcade, camp store, and other activities are located. The campground is gated which limits who can come into the park. If you want to have guests, plan on shelling out a bit of cash as it is $8/day for kids and $10 for adults and$12 for overnight guests. 

    Our gravel site was perfectly level with no potholes and the roads leading to our site were easy to navigate in our 45’ motorhome. The patio was gravel and there was some grass between campsites. Our picnic table was clean and not made of old rotten wood with sagging benches. There was not much shade at our site which was fine with us because it was October when we visited and wanted the sun. We were able to pick up wifi at our site because we were close to a tower. Our Verizon phone and hotspot worked great as did the parks cable television. The campground is just one mile from Old Orchard Beach and close to Route 1 which is the main corridor leading up and down the Maine coast. 

    The nearby town of Biddeford has some great restaurants(Palace Dinner, Run of the Mill Public House and Brewery, and Dunston Tab and Table). While the campground is large enough for a good long walk, we prefer to walk the wooded trails at Ferry Beach State Park. If you are looking for something for kids to do there is Funtown Splashtown which is a large water and amusement park and you can get discount tickets at the campgrounds camp store

Guide to South Freeport

Cabins near South Freeport, Maine offer varying levels of rustic and modern accommodations within the region's dense coastal forest. Located on Maine's central coast at about 40 feet above sea level, the area experiences mild summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F during peak camping season, with cooler nights dropping to 55-60°F. Most cabin rentals require advance bookings up to six months ahead for summer weekends.

What to do

Kayaking at farm sanctuary: Explore Casco Bay waters from Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground, where visitors can experience both coastal waters and agricultural activities. "We rented a kayak/canoe and explored Casco Bay. Definitely a unique experience and great educational opportunities for families with kids," notes a camper who enjoyed the diverse environment.

Hiking nearby trails: Several cabin locations provide access to walking paths and nature trails. "The hiking trails are fantastic, they range from short to long. All relatively easy. They all have great sights, especially the one along the rocky coast. You can even hike to a private beach!" shares a visitor at Hermit Island Campground.

Beach activities: Most cabin locations provide direct or nearby beach access. "There is a small beach within about a 1 minute walk, and when the tide goes out you can walk for forever. Lots of people come here to clam," reports a guest at Sagadahoc Bay Campground, highlighting the unique coastal exploration opportunities during low tide.

What campers like

Clamming opportunities: Several coastal cabin sites provide direct access to clamming areas. "Plenty of clamming and watching wild life like hermit crabs, crabs, seagulls... The clams there are the sweetest and most delicious I have ever tasted, not to mention freshest. Clamming license, tools for digging and even pots are available at the office," explains a regular at Sagadahoc Bay Campground.

Educational farm experiences: Cabins at working farms offer unique experiences beyond typical camping. "This campground is located on an organic dairy farm. There is a farm cafe on site with local food. We loved that! We went into Freeport and did a lobster charter on the Jenny ellen boat," shares a camper who stayed at Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground.

Fresh seafood delivery: Many cabin sites feature fresh lobster delivery options. "Lobsters for sale straight out of the tank cooked and delivered to your site every day. Don't forget to add corn and potatoes," recommends a visitor at Meadowbrook Camping, highlighting a distinctly Maine dining experience.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Most cabin rentals require substantial advance planning. "Reservations are very old school - mail a letter and wait," notes a camper about Hermit Island Campground, while another mentions, "Campsites do not have any electricity, there is no water at the sites, but most water faucets are a short walk. No radios or music allowed in the campground. No cell service."

Bug preparation: Coastal Maine cabins often require serious insect protection. "The mosquitoes were TERRIBLE. Not sure if that is normal in August or a ton of sea weed had come ashore from the storm," reports one camper, while another advises: "Be prepared to deal with mosquitos! Many people use screen tents. We've always had good results using thermacell units."

Pet policies vary significantly: Winslow Park And Campground welcomes pets at most sites, while some locations like Hermit Island have strict limitations: "No dogs except one weekend a year. This was nice before I had a dog. No barking." Always check specific pet policies before booking cabin accommodations.

Tips for camping with families

Farm animal experiences: Children particularly enjoy interaction with farm animals at select cabin sites. "We love that it is a working farm. My kids really enjoyed seeing the baby pigs when they were born. Wolfe Neck has a dairy farm, beef cows and produces vegetables for the farmer's market," mentions a repeat family visitor.

Kid-focused activities: Some cabin properties offer structured children's programming. At Freeport/Durham KOA, "They had costume making and trick or treating for kids (bring candy) and a renaissance fair/party for adults. There is a pool with slide, a playground, a basketball hoop, a disc golf net. They have hayrides and a nightly train ride for younger visitors."

Playground access: Several cabin locations feature playgrounds for children. "Great playground for kids and convenient locations of bath houses. An enjoyable camping experience close to home," shares a camper at Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground, while another notes, "Bathrooms were nice and quiet campsites," about Winslow Park.

Tips from RVers

Adult-only options: RVers seeking quiet accommodations can find adult-specific cabins. At Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park, "This adult only campground is peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear - it is quite relaxing. It has both tent and rv sites, some with full hookup and some with power and water only."

Electrical capacity planning: Some cabin and RV sites have limited electrical capacity. "We paid for a 30 amp service, but had low voltage the entirety of our stay. They had several campsites on the same breaker, something we have never seen at any campground in our 3 years of travel," warns an experienced RVer about electrical systems at some locations.

Location selection: Choose cabin locations based on specific needs. "We like to stay in the 'south section' which tends to have less kids because it is farther away from the 'action.' Plus, it is close to the Little River Complex which is an adult-only section with pool, hot tubs, café, bathhouse, and laundry," advises a frequent RV camper about selecting optimal cabin locations.
