Great spot with all types of different campsites.

LegendSea-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.

Seacoast Camping and RV Resort
Nice Campground, Love the area!
This is a nice, clean, well-maintained campground for RV and tenting. The campground is located on Route 1 which means you are convenient to a lot of things but there is lots of traffic. Half the campground is seasonal/long term campers and the other side is mostly transients. The roads and campsites are fine crushed gravel with nice grassy patios. The campground is very well maintained (the best part being that the mower collects they cut the grass so no clippings get tracked in your camper). There are some mature trees that provide shade but don’t impede navigating in and out of sites or impacting slide outs.
Campsites range from tent with water/electric to RV water/electric and RV full hook-up 50-amp and full hook-up 30-amp. There are three bathhouses on the property (one of which has a dishwashing sink) and laundry. Tent sites 50-55 are in an are set away from RV sites and more private. They are also close to a large bathhouse with multiple toilets and showers. Tent sites 90-100 are across from a large playground which can be quite chaotic, but if you have kids, this is a great spot.
Our site (#147) was a long pull-thru with a descent amount of space between our neighbors. We got about half a dozen over-the-air channels (one being a major network station) and were able to connect with eastern arc satellites with our Dish Satellite. The 50A electric was good as was the water pressure.
The campground does not have much in the way of amenities except for a game room, basketball court, and playground. The game room is pretty cool with lots of arcade-style games, a pool table, foosball, and table tennis. While we were there, they just finished putting in all new playground equipment and enlarged the size making it really big and a hit with the kids in the park. Once convenience is that maintenance picks up garbage at your site (between 8am– 3pm). Unfortunately, people leave them out after hours and animals got into them and scattered garbage everywhere. We've stayed here before and always enjoy being in the area as it is close to the fun cities of Portsmouth and Newburyport.

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.
Cynthia M.TravelerGreat Meadow Campground
Great seasonal campground
This is our 2nd year as seasonal campers and it is wonderful. The seasons sites are very spacious and most have plenty of shade/sun. The transient site are not as spacious but have grassy areas and plenty of sun. There are no tent sites at this time

ScoutWolfe'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.

Guide to Wells
Wells Beach and its surrounding area offer camping options near the Atlantic Ocean coastline. Located along the southern Maine shore, Wells experiences cool, foggy mornings even in summer, with daytime July temperatures averaging 78°F. Most campgrounds in this area operate seasonally from May through mid-October, with limited availability during the shoulder seasons.
What to do
Beach access near campgrounds: Sandy Pines Campground provides a convenient base for beach exploration. "The proximity to goose rocks beach was a major plus!" notes Kaileigh K. The campground is just a short drive from one of the area's most popular beaches.
Coastal biking opportunities: Several preserves offer mountain biking trails near the campgrounds. As Joe R. from Sandy Pines Campground shares, "For those so inclined, there is great mountain biking either through the Tyler Preserve down to Cape Porpoise or North through the Emmitt Smith Preserve."
Water activities on protected waterways: Kayaking and canoeing are popular at Bayley's Camping Resort where the river is damned to prevent tidal issues. "The kayak/paddle board, canoe launch is great because the river is impounded so you never have to worry about the tide going out while you are paddling," explains Nancy W.
Seasonal festivals and events: Many campgrounds host special themed weekends. One camper at Beaver Dam Campground notes, "The grounds include lots of activities for young and old" while another mentioned visiting during a "Vintage Camper weekend" at Sandy Pines.
What campers like
Private wooded sites: The glamping experience at Wells varies by location, with some offering more seclusion than others. "I love that there was a tent only area that felt a little more secluded and quiet with some nice privacy between sites," writes Kaileigh K. about Sandy Pines Campground.
Clean bathroom facilities: Campers frequently comment on bathroom quality. At Beaver Dam Campground, a reviewer mentioned "Bathrooms are modern and spotless. Owners on site are wonderful." This sentiment is echoed across several properties.
Proximity to coastal towns: Dixons Coastal Maine Campground offers easy access to multiple coastal destinations. Robert S. explains, "The location to the coastal beaches of York, Wells, Agunquit and Kennebunkport is the main reason we stayed here. It's one of our favorite locations in Maine."
Glamping accommodations: For those seeking upscale outdoor experiences, Chris from Sandy Pines notes, "Sandy Pines has impeccably maintained campsites for all style of camper and tent. If you do not have either one, you can rent one of their super funky Gypsy Wagons, A Frame chalets or Glam-tents on the platform."
What you should know
Site variations within campgrounds: At many locations, site quality and privacy can vary significantly. Tim S. from Sandy Pines cautions tent campers: "The most significant con was that this campground is truly only for RV camping. Us tent campers we on sites with zero trees. It almost felt as if they were trying to dissuade tent campers from coming here."
Seasonal considerations: Most glamping operations near Wells have limited operating seasons. Beaver Dam Campground operates "Mid May to Columbus Day" while many others follow similar schedules, closing by mid-October.
Guest policies and fees: Some campgrounds charge for visitors. Nancy W. notes about one location: "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."
Wi-Fi limitations: Internet connectivity varies widely. One camper at Old Orchard Beach Campground mentions, "The Wi-Fi does not work very well (WFH employees trying to see the world)." Another at Sandy Pines notes, "The Wi-Fi is hit and miss unsecured. Mostly miss."
Tips for camping with families
Playground options: Many campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Old Orchard Beach Campground, "The playground and pool were a hit with the kids," according to one reviewer. Another camper mentions, "They have basketball courts, badminton courts, horseshoes, and tons more."
Beach shuttle services: Transportation to beaches is available from some locations. Shawn B. notes, "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."
Swimming options on-site: When beach weather isn't cooperative, pools provide alternatives. At Bayley's Camping Resort, "There is a kids pool and a pool for the adults only w/bar," mentions Christopher S., while another camper appreciated that "the pool is heated and very inviting."
Family-friendly layout: Some campgrounds organize their sites to create family-friendly zones. Kaileigh K. appreciated that Sandy Pines has "a tent only area that felt a little more secluded and quiet with some nice privacy between sites."
Tips from RVers
Site surface considerations: The Caseys Stadig Campground offers "spacious, flat groomed sand" sites according to Val, though another RVer notes it's "Not the best for an RV but very wooded and nice for tenting."
Big rig accessibility: Susan J. from Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort appreciates the "wide/grassy sites" and notes, "If we make it back to Wells, we will choose this Resort again....that says a lot with all the options in the area."
RV glamping options: For RVers seeking luxury glamping experiences, Nick from Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort comments, "Roads are paved so kids can ride their bikes with ease. Place is very clean and close to the beech. Staff is very friendly and accommodating."
Seasonal site availability: Many RVers note that booking well in advance is essential. Nancy W. advises, "You will definitely want to take the short drive (or the free shuttle service offered at the campground) to the nearby beach and visit the beachy boardwalk town."
