What to do
Explore coastal towns: Moorings Oceanfront RV Resort in Belfast provides convenient access to multiple coastal communities. "The park is conveniently located just a few miles from downtown Belfast which offers plenty to do and see and is one of our favorite coastal Maine towns. We love shopping at the Co-op, eating pizza at Meanwhile in Belfast, lobster at Young's Lobster Pound, and lunch at Chase's Daily," notes a visitor.
Visit Acadia National Park: Timberland Acres RV Park serves as a practical base for exploring the region's premier attraction. "30 minutes from Acadia National Park" with "a good location between Ellsworth and Bar Harbor," according to reviewers. The park's proximity allows campers to experience Acadia's features while staying outside the more congested areas.
Star observation: For those interested in astronomy, certain campgrounds offer excellent viewing conditions. "The upper sites where we are have a great view of the sky for Starlink users," mentions a camper at Greenlaw's RV Park. Clear nights away from coastal fog provide optimal star-gazing conditions.
What campers like
Site privacy: Campers consistently value well-spaced sites at Greenlaw's RV Park & Campground in Stonington. "This is a small, wooded campground with large private sites," reports one reviewer. Another mentions staying in "site U1 which was fantastic. Last site on the deadend road and was very secluded."
Dog-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds accommodate pets with dedicated facilities. "There is a new dog exercise area which has water and toys and is long enough for our Labrador retriever to chase a ball," notes a visitor to Pumpkin Patch RV Resort. Dog parks typically include waste stations and water sources.
Community activities: Narrows Too Camping Resort and similar parks offer organized social events. "There was a free ice cream social when we were there which had four different varieties and toppings and very filling," mentions one camper. These activities typically occur on weekends during peak season.
What you should know
Tidal considerations: Waterfront camping requires awareness of tidal patterns. A visitor to Moorings Campground notes: "You have about a four-hour window to paddle because of the tides. You will be left walking across muddy soft clam flats if you are not mindful of the 10-12 foot tides."
Variable internet access: Cell service and WiFi quality fluctuate significantly between locations. One camper at Camden Hills RV Resort states: "Wifi was a service you had to pay for which is almost unheard of in todays campgrounds. Most campgrounds offer free wifi but this one only offered the wifi for a fee."
Seasonal camper presence: Many parks host long-term seasonal residents. "Most of the campers were seasonals whose campsites were well-kept and they were quiet," reports a visitor at Pumpkin Patch RV Resort. This creates established communities at certain campgrounds.
Tips for camping with families
Limited child amenities: Camden Hills RV Resort and similar parks provide varying levels of kid-friendly facilities. One reviewer notes of Timberland Acres: "We had a nice pull through site with full hook ups. Most are pretty close to each other, ours was wider but faced another camper who faced us. It really didn't matter as we spent our time at Acadia and Bar Harbor."
Beach access options: Some campgrounds provide water access suitable for children. At Patten Pond Camping Resort, "The campsite has a nice pond attached... It is a full service RV campsite so that is always convenient." Another camper noted "a small beach at the lake where you can swim and kayak (for rent)."
Swimming facilities: Pool availability varies between parks. "My son swam in the salt water pool and said he liked it," reports a visitor at Timberland Acres RV Park. Pool hours typically extend from 10am to dusk during summer months.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Campground terrain varies considerably across the region. At Narrows Too Camping Resort, "All sites and patios are gravel with some grass between them," mentions one RVer. "Luckily our site was level but some are not very level and would have been a problem for us," notes another about Camden Hills RV Resort.
Big rig accessibility: Patten Pond Camping Resort accommodates larger vehicles according to visitors. "The roads in and out and around the park are wide and easy to maneuver around," states one review. "Most sites are level and there are long pull thrus so you don't have to unhitch if you are only staying one night."
Hookup placement: Connection locations impact setup efficiency. "All the hook-ups were well-placed and we did not need extensions to connect," reports a camper at Pumpkin Patch RV Resort. Electric service typically ranges from 30-50 amp depending on site selection, with water pressure varying between 40-60 PSI.
