Great place
Absolutely beautiful! Clean, quiet, had a shaded site near the dog park which was awesome for us with our pups

Great Campsite
Reservations online was super easy, and the hosts are great. They allowed me to drive around and look at the other campsites as I was needing a site with limited/no tree coverage. Plus I’m still learning how to handle my van, so was looking for a very flat spot. Bathrooms are nice and clean, the grounds are nice and clean, and the dog park is a great bonus.
Sarah A.GuideWild Acres Sun RV Resort
Quiet & Nice + lots of activities for families
This was a nicely shaded and quiet park, even with kids running around. There was a nice pool for the kiddos, as well as kayaks and water toys for the pond, which looks like a lake. Great sized dog parks - 2 connected to each other. People are super nice. Sites are pretty close together.
Staff super nice. Wifi not great and we have starlink - lots of obstruction so if you need uninterrupted access I’d check with the front desk to see if there are clearer areas for your satellite. Laundry was a bit of a trek from our site, but not a huge deal. Overall pleasant stay, though!

We wont be back...
We chose this campground because it was close to a festival we wanted to check out. Upon arrival we could not find the office. We had to stop a camper who was walking and ask her where the office was. The workers were less than helpful. To many seasonal campers. The sites were to close. The owners were dog breed prejudice. There was a whole paper full of rules if you brought a pet. We are big dog lovers of all breeds and took offense to them being so against certain breeds even being on there property. I will say that the bathrooms were very clean and seemed new.
Shawn B.GuideOld Orchard Beach Campground
Very Nice Place To Stay!
This is a rockstar of a campsite. They have everything you need, minus an ATM. There is a general store with the normal gear. They have a pool and hot tub. There is a small, but very well-kept dog park. On top of all that there is pinball, Pac-Man, and pool table! But, if you want to stick with the normal stuff, they also have basketball courts, badminton courts, horseshoes, and tons more.
There is a trolly that will take you to the city for $2, but if you have a bicycle it is a quick 15-minute ride to the beach.
The city itself is super fun with lots of rides, good food, and you can even learn how to surf!

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.

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

Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground
Wonderful!
A beautiful place with a farm, campground and state park all together! There are tenting spots, camper spots and field spots. I recommend any with tree coverage. There are bathrooms close by to all, the main lodge is nice and the food at the snack shack is sooo good!! burgers, pizza, salad- all local and from their gardens. The working farm is open to visit and walk around. Pet the baby cows and see the pigs and goats. they have a ton of activities going on through the summer. Our huge tent site was $60 for a busy August weekend. totally reasonable! we had a lovely time despite the rain and will try to go again next year! The grounds are a short drive to downtown Freeport for shopping at the outlets and LLBean.
Guide to Trevett
Trevett, Maine offers coastal camping opportunities alongside tidal waters, where daily tide changes can vary by 9-11 feet. Located on the Boothbay Peninsula, this region experiences cool summer evenings with temperatures typically dropping into the 50s after sunset. Most dog friendly campgrounds near Trevett require pets to be leashed at all times, with specific designated areas for pet exercise and relief.
What to do
Kayaking at high tide: At Sagadahoc Bay Campground, the tidal fluctuations create unique paddling opportunities. "We spent the night in one of the Oceanfront RV spots. When the tide goes out you have the entire inlet to walk around in and explore. At night the stars were absolutely amazing!" notes Michael H.
Lobster delivered to your site: Many pet-welcoming campgrounds near Trevett offer fresh seafood experiences. "What an amazing campground right on the ocean. we had such a blast here. clamming and floating in with the tide. Fresh lobsters cooked and delivered to our campsite.. Who could ask for anything more in ocean front camping," shares Chrisdin D.
Exploring historic sites: The region has numerous maritime attractions within short drives. As one visitor at Pemaquid Point Campground notes, "Right down the road from the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse with a wonderful breakfast spot right next door — I'd recommend the blueberry pancakes."
Farm experiences with animals: For a unique camping activity, visit Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground where campers can interact with farm animals. "My kids enjoyed visiting with the farm animals and walking along the rocky shore each day. Plenty to do between biking, kayaking, farm experience and visiting downtown Freeport close by," writes Michele S.
What campers like
Tidal exploration areas: The dramatic tides create natural exploration zones. "When the tide goes out you can walk over a mile out towards the lighthouse on Sequin Island. Plenty of clamming and watching wild life like hermit crabs, crabs, seagulls or your dogs running in joy on the soft clay like surface," explains a visitor to Sagadahoc Bay.
Wooded privacy between waterfront sites: At Shore Hills Campground & RV Park, the layout maximizes both views and seclusion. "The great thing about this campground is that there is a such a large selection of sites that you pretty much can get what you want. Some of their 30-amp waterfront sites come with great views. They also have some sites tucked in the woods that are super wide with huge patios and lots of privacy."
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the area prioritize sanitation. One camper at Chewonki Campground remarked, "This was one of the most relaxing campgrounds we have ever experienced. Beautiful scenery with a river to highlight Maine's tidal environment. The bathrooms and showers were spic and span clean."
Convenience to attractions: Many campsites offer easy access to regional highlights. "Our site had a wonderful view of the lake and we could angle our camper so we had privacy. The lake is great for swimming and paddling," shares a camper at Duck Puddle Campground.
What you should know
Tidal access limitations: The dramatic tides restrict water activities to specific times. "The river is tidal and so unless you want to wade threw mud there is not access beyond a couple hours around high tide," explains Rachel S. from Shore Hills Campground.
Reservation processes vary: Some campgrounds have traditional systems. "Old school in that you have to call to make reservations and they do not accept credit cards," notes one camper about Shore Hills Campground.
Site selection matters: Terrain and layout differences can significantly impact your experience. At Meadowbrook Camping, "The sites are not level and most are not shaded or very wide. We paid for a 30 amp service, but had low voltage the entirety of our stay."
Seasonal crowds: The region's popularity varies dramatically by season. "We stayed here right after Memorial Day weekend, so the campground was mostly cleared out and quiet. However, with more people there, it seemed like it would feel a little crowded, with the tent sites being so close together," notes a visitor to Sherwood Forest Campsite.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several pet-friendly campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. "Bathrooms are very clean and kids really enjoy running in field and that there is a working farm within the camp ground," shares Jessica M. about Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground.
Educational opportunities: The working farms near some campgrounds provide learning experiences. "The farm is now open to the public, free of charge every day and is committed to continuing and improving upon the long tradition of sustainable agriculture, recreation and education while preserving its open space."
Kid-friendly events: Some campgrounds coordinate special activities. "The weekend we stayed they happened to be celebrating 'Christmas in July' and so a lot of the campers had put up lights and decorated. They had a band play on Sat night and large bonfire. Everyone was invited to attend if they wanted to," reports a visitor to Duck Puddle Campground.
Beach proximity: Easy water access enhances family camping. "I stayed here in a tent back in 2015. Great campground for someone who enjoys a more social experience, and access to many activities! There was plenty of walking to do, a playground, and lots of marsh area to explore with snails and horseshoe crabs around," writes Anna W. about Thomas Point Beach and Campground.
Tips from RVers
Extension cord needs: Power access varies between sites. At Thomas Point Beach and Campground, "no water hook ups, and the electric hook up required a 50 ft. extension cord to reach a pole."
Full hookup availability: Service levels differ significantly between campgrounds. "We chose a pull thru that had such a steep incline we determined it best to actually back into the site so we didn't bottom out trying to get up the hill. The site was unlevel and we were always on a bit of an incline," shares Nancy W. about Meadowbrook Camping.
Individual garbage cans: Some campgrounds offer site-specific waste disposal. "Each site has its own garbage can which I super convenient. Hook-ups at our site worked fine and were well-placed and easy to connect to," notes a reviewer about Shore Hills Campground.
Voltage concerns: Electrical systems can be problematic. "We paid for a 30 amp service, but had low voltage the entirety of our stay. On our last day, we didn't even have enough voltage to keep fans running inside our RV," warns a recent visitor to Meadowbrook Camping.
