      Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort

      Pleasantly surprised.

      This campground is mostly seasonal, privately owned park models, but has 45 spaces for RV’s. I was a little skeptical about staying at this campground with so many park models and seasonals but was pleasantly surprised at how nice, clean, and tidy all the sites were. They obviously take pride in how things look because the grounds and campsites were very well-kept. 

      All campsites are 50/30-amp full hook-up with level gravel pads with grassy patios, a picnic table, and fire pit. We stayed in site#702 which was long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. All the utilities were easy to reach and the electric worked well. The only problem was that we were parked under a large oak tree that was profusely shedding large acorns. There are some sites that are in the open which I would definitely choose, if I came back in the fall. The campground is gated which is a nice feature. It is located a mile or so off Route 1 which means you don’t get the road noise and traffic, but still conveniently located near shops and restaurants. 

      One nice feature are the shaded walking trails in the park. While they are not super long, it is a nice change from walking the roads (which are paved). Other amenities include a decent size swimming pool (closed while we were there), a basketball court, playground, laundry, and camp store.  I thought it was a little expensive at $75/night (for full hook-up) at the end of the season, especially since the pool was closed.

      Shore Hills Campground & RV Park

      Been coming here for years and always enjoy it.

      We’ve camped here for over fifteen years and always have a great experience. The campground has nice sites, water access, nature preserves and hiking within a short distance and is close to Boothbay Harbor and many other beautiful coastal Maine Towns. Since we have a big-rig, we choose to stay in the full hook-up section in the front (sites 100-149) that has long level pull thru and back-in sites. The only downside of this section is that the sites are in the open with few trees for shade and no privacy between sites. Some sites have a wooden deck on the patio with a railing around it and others have a grassy/gravel patio. RV’s 36’ or less have more choice for sites whether you want shade in the woods or waterfront. Hookups are variable (regarding electric) so be sure to check the map before picking a campsite. A dump station is located in the front of the campground. There are two bathhouses (each with laundry) that are at both ends of the park. Waterfront sites are beautiful with a view of the marsh and tidal river. Just be aware that the tides are 10-12 feet and when the tide is out, you are looking at a mudflat. There are also tent sites that are nicely wooded. Access to the park is easy off the main road and the roads within the campground are easy to navigate. The campground accepts cash or check only. There is no online booking, you either call them directly or fill out a form and mail it to them. There is a kayak launch and the campground does have boats for rent. A great amenity is the shuttle that takes you to downtown Boothbay Harbor since the parking downtown is expensive.

      Great campground and stay

      Park is nestled in the woods with a lot of activities outdoors. Walking trails for people and dogs. Great laundry, bathrooms, office/store, cafe. The roads into the sites are tight but they guide you. We have a 30’ trailer and 20’ truck, I wouldn’t bring a trailer longer than 35’ in unless you are really good in tight spaces. Site 110 is a great pull thru.

      York Beach Camper Park

      Cozy and clean

      Get a site in the back with the trees if possible. They are much bigger sites and more secluded. Cash only ($61) but there is an ATM in the office. The manager was very helpful giving me a local map and telling me the sites to see. She recommended a few restaurants for great food.

      Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground

      Quiet, clean, fun

      This was a cool agritourism campground. A little pricey but the cleanest campground I have stayed at over the last month and a half traveling around the great lakes area and then into New England. I'm traveling solo but definitely a cool spot if you have kids, the outhouses are kept as spotless as one could hope for and there are is a cool loop trail around the property that has educational stops. Camp store has local produce and food from the farm, there are trails where you can go down to the shoreline.

      Shore Hills Campground & RV Park

      Great Spot

      It's old school in that you can't reserve online, and they only take cash or checks, but the campground is beautiful, clean and well maintained.

      Chewonki Campground

      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

      Sebago 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!

      Family and Friends Campground

      Quiet campground

      Lovely campground near the lake. Many of the beaches were resident only so I highly recommend buying the $10 beach pass to access their private beach (There’s only two passes available so get there early) The lake was incredibly beautiful and so relaxing!

      I will say site #23 is a bit of a tight squeeze, we had a travel trailer (About 21 ft) and a GMC Sierra and we had to pull the truck up tightly against the trailer so we weren’t sticking out. Wanna shout out Rick because he was so kind and very helpful!

    Guide to South Portland

    South Portland sits on the shores of Casco Bay, with coastal Maine's typical humid continental climate featuring warm summers and cold winters. The area maintains over 20 miles of hiking trails, and many local campgrounds provide direct water access for kayaking and canoeing. Most camping options stay open from early May through mid-October due to Maine's seasonal weather patterns.

    What to do

    Kayaking through tidal marshes: At Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park, visitors can explore scenic marsh waterways. "Close to the city of Portland, about 20 minutes, but tucked away in the beautiful riverside marsh. Kayaks/canoes available at the front desk," notes Alec G.

    Beach trolley service: Many campgrounds offer convenient transportation to local beaches. "Free shuttle to the beach. The days are packed with actives. You will love this place!" shares Karen D. about Bayley's Camping Resort.

    Bike the Eastern Trail: Located near several campgrounds, this trail passes through Scarborough Marsh. "My wife and I enjoy riding our bikes on rail trails. This quiet campground is about a mile from the Eastern Trail through the Scarborough Marsh," writes Kevin W. about his experience at Wild Duck Adult Campground.

    Farm exploration: Camp on working farms to add agricultural experiences to your trip. "You can freely roam the farm (or hike in the adjacent Wolfe's Neck State Park) or rent a kayak/canoe and explore Casco Bay. Definitely a unique experience and great educational opportunities for families with kids!" explains a camper at Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground.

    What campers like

    Multiple swimming options: Campgrounds in the region often offer both pools and beach access. "Heated pools, hot tubes, a bar in pool area with not only beer and wine with frozen drinks. Mini golf. Free shuttle to the beach," says Karen D. about the amenities at Bayley's Camping Resort.

    Adult-only sections: Several campgrounds provide dedicated spaces for adult campers. "This is a beautiful campground that caters to adults only. It feels very secluded but it's close to everything," reports Kelli T. about Wild Duck Adult Campground.

    Proximity to Freeport shopping: Campers appreciate easy access to Maine's famous outlet stores. "Proximity to L.L. Bean and downtown Freeport can't be beat. We especially loved hiking at Wolfe's Neck State Park and there were plenty of places for Spirit to swim," writes Nancy W. about Old Orchard Beach Campground.

    Glamping near South Portland: For those seeking luxury camping near South Portland, Maine, several campgrounds offer upscale options. "If you want Glamping, this is the place to be. Nice wooded lots. Close to the beach. The pool is very nice. Great place to bring a family. I can't think of anything they could improve," says Terri L. about Sandy Pines Campground.

    What you should know

    Mosquito management: Maine's coastal areas can have significant mosquito populations. "BRING BUGSPRAY!!! The mosquitoes were TERRIBLE.
