ScoutStayed Here for one night after picking up a new travel trailer nearby. The staff and campers were all very friendly and welcoming. Much of the population consists of seasonal campers with huge RVs and Motor Homes. It’s very adult oriented, super quiet, and super clean. There are nice little walking trails and a small fenced in dog park where dogs can play. Would definitely stay here again if in the area!
LegendOverall, this is a great little private RV park with awesome views (from some sites) and great access to the ocean. The park is conveniently located just a few miles from downtown Belfast (a sweet little Maine town) which offers plenty to do and see. Plus, you are just five miles from the cute town of Searsport which houses the wonderful Penobscot Marine Museum and two miles from Moose Point State Park with hiking trails, picnic areas, and more gorgeous views.
The park offers a variety of sites (44 total) depending on if you want oceanfront, ocean view, or a pull-thru. All sites have electric (50 or 30 amp), water, cable and wifi. The five pull-thru sites also include sewer. A mobile sewer pump-out service is available for guests staying one week or longer and there is a dump station. Roads and sites are gravel with grass patios and level. All sites have a fire ring and picnic table. Our Verizon 4G phone and Hotspot worked great but we mostly used the free wifi which worked very well.
Park amenities include private ocean access, horseshoes, playground, laundry, showers/bathrooms, free coffee in the morning, free weekend papers delivered to your site, free donuts on Sunday mornings, and a restaurant on-site. The park organizes a lot of group activities including pot lucks, lobster shore dinners, and free wine and beer during Friday Happy Hours. The laundry has two wash machines/dryers and was clean and tidy.
The Moorings is in a great location. It is just a few miles from downtown Belfast where you will find restaurants, a brewery, boutiques, a movie theater, art galleries, historic museums/sites, and plenty of water-related activities. Grocery stores and fuel stations are within a few miles of the RV Park. Just a mere 20 miles away is the popular coastal town of Camden.
What we liked about this park is the town of Belfast and how close the RV park is to downtown. Also, the parks small size and friendly people make this an enjoyable place to stay. We like the fact that they had social activities (like free happy hour and donuts) that bring people together. The ocean access in this park is great! A short set of stairs takes you down to the water which is great for exploring, launching kayaks, and letting the dog run/swim when the tide is out.
The biggest downside for us was the price and lack of sewer and 50 amp at some sites. Our site was $66/night for a FHU (50 amp) pull-thru on the hill in the front of the park without much in the way of a water view. Premier oceanfront sites (with no sewer and 30 amps) are $72/night during high season. That being said, there are not too many options for campgrounds in the Belfast area and we really did like staying here.
From a dog owners perspective this park gets mixed reviews. The rules ask that dogs be on a 4’ or less lease, you may only have two pets (unless you get prior approval), they must do their business in one small area and are not allowed on most grassy areas throughout the park. We make a consorted effort not too let our dog pee or poop in others yards but we don’t always have control over where that happens. We did like the fact that you could take them down to the ocean to play in the water and on the beach when the tide was out. Within two miles of the RV park is Moose Point State Park with a few miles of hiking trails, picnic area and water access (a daily use fee is charged). Downtown Belfast does have a fenced off-leash 1.4 – acre dog park with water for dogs and benches for owners.
LegendI 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.
TravelerA 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.
TravelerWe just spent the weekend here and were very impressed with the water views and the size of the sites. The campground is pet friendly- I think almost everyone we saw had a dog. The facilities were clean although I did not use the showers as we have a travel trailer.There are many sites along the river that flows with the tide. Overall a great place to stay!
ScoutThis is a beautiful, family and pet friendly campground. Very well kept. The bathrooms and showers were always clean. Plenty of activities. There is a beautiful nature trail along the stream!
TravelerWell maintained. Pet friendly BUT must be in leak at all times. Cannot be left alone in RV or vehicle. No sewer. Friendly atmosphere
ScoutKid 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!
ScoutSpent a late September weekend with kids and pets at Chewonki, and had a great time. Such a friendly atmosphere, the golf green was a blast! Campsites are large and if you don’t have a camper are outstanding. Camper sites in the field have the best views! We will definitely be back, highly recommend!
Campgrounds near Vassalboro, Maine sit in the Kennebec Valley region, where pine forests meet numerous lakes and streams. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-80°F, with cooler 40-50°F evenings making campfire gatherings comfortable. Winter camping options are limited as most facilities close between October and May due to Maine's heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures.
Canoe exploration: Free boat use at Two Rivers Campground allows campers to navigate river confluences. The campground offers complimentary canoe and kayak rentals for exploring both the Kennebec and Wesserunsett Rivers. "We took a canoe up the river for a couple hours. Kind people. Clean. Would definitely stay again," notes Andrea S.
Wildlife watching: Early morning provides optimal viewing conditions. Bald eagles are frequently spotted at riverfront campsites, particularly in the dawn hours. "At 6:45am I saw two bald eagles patrolling the Kennebec," reports LoneCamper C. from their tent site at Two Rivers Campground.
Disc golf: On-site courses provide recreational opportunities at Beaver Brook Campground. The facility maintains a full disc golf course among its amenities. "Very nice campground with a good camp store and disc golf course. We will stay again!" confirms J B., highlighting this less commonly mentioned recreational option.
Clean facilities: Modern bathroom buildings with regular maintenance. Campers consistently mention facility cleanliness as a standout feature. "The restrooms and laundry were spotless and cleaned daily," notes Nancy W. about her stay at Two Rivers Campground.
Waterfront access: Lake and pond shorelines for recreation. Many campgrounds feature direct water access for activities. "We love the proximity to the lake with easy access for kayaking and swimming," writes Pam A. about Sennebec Lake Campground, which offers both tent and RV accommodations.
Themed activities: Scheduled events enhance the camping experience. Campgrounds in the region offer organized entertainment, especially on weekends. "Fun activities every week and a nice game room. My only qualm is that they charge for visitors, even if they are only staying an hour," explains Ashley V. about More to Life Campground's programming.
Seasonal operation: Most facilities close during winter months. The camping season generally runs from mid-May through October. "May 15 - Oct 15" is the operational period for Two Rivers Campground, with similar timeframes at other facilities.
Road noise: Some sites experience traffic sounds. Proximity to main roads can affect otherwise peaceful settings. "At night, one can clearly hear the noise from route 2 just at the edge of the campground. The river amplifies the sound of cars passing by," warns LoneCamper C. about riverfront sites at Two Rivers.
Variable site privacy: Layouts differ significantly between campgrounds. Some properties offer more seclusion than others. "Sites are a decent size and the campground is fairly quiet at night," reports Pam A. about Sennebec Lake Campground, contrasting with more tightly arranged properties.
Playground access: Kid-friendly facilities at multiple locations. Several campgrounds maintain play areas specifically designed for children. "There is a day park for swimming with a life guard and an impressive playground for little ones," shares Anna W. about Lake St. George State Park Campground.
Water activities: Multiple options for swimming and boating. Family-friendly water access points accommodate various ages. "Kids caught many sunfish & had loads of fun!

Tent platform availability: Sturdy foundations for family camping. Some campgrounds provide wooden platforms for tent setup, creating level and clean sleeping areas. "The tent camping amenities, including the pop-up toilet and sturdy wooden platform, were thoughtfully provided," mentions Paige A. about her family's stay at Tiny Cabins of Maine.
Site leveling considerations: Ground preparation varies. Some campgrounds require less setup work than others. "We had a long pull-thru site that was located under pine trees which provided welcomed shade since the temperatures were in the high 80's," explains Nancy W. about Two Rivers Campground.
Full hookup availability: Services differ between campgrounds. Water, electric, and sewer connections aren't universal. "All sites offer electrical, only one offers sewer, but if an RV is your thing, they have a honey wagon for pump-outs," notes Jean C. about More to Life Campground.
Site selection flexibility: Some campgrounds allow campers to choose specific locations. This benefit helps RVers find appropriate spots. "When we arrived, we were given a map with available sites marked and free reign to pick the spot of our liking," explains David G. about his experience at More to Life Campground, indicating management's flexibility with site assignments.
