Fall through spring visits require advance planning as many coastal Maine RV parks close during winter months, typically operating from April through mid-October. Big rig owners should call ahead to confirm access routes and site dimensions at some facilities. Most parks offer sanitary dump stations with Shamrock Campground providing 30-amp service with water and sewer connections. Pet policies vary between facilities, with most allowing pets but enforcing leash requirements and designated pet areas. One camper noted about Wild Acres: "People are super nice. Sites are pretty close together." Trolley service connects several parks to nearby beaches, eliminating parking concerns during peak summer season. Cell service generally remains reliable throughout the region, but travelers should expect limited internet bandwidth during evening hours when parks reach capacity.

Bearcamp River Campground
Bear camp River campground is a great place to camp for a weekend or be a seasonal. You can walk 6/10 of a mile to the covered bridge nearby and float right down to the beach at the campground or you can start on one side of the campground and float to the other via river for a good 30 minute float!! You get to Camp right on the Riverside. Owners (Mike and Tabby ) are great. Good place for the kids to run around and explore. The Camp store has sweatshirts and sweatpants , candy and snacks ,s’mores kits, and much much more. They also sell wood and ice on site. There is also hot showers for free, and bathrooms. Two thumbs up from this happy camper.

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.

Sun Outdoors Wells Beach
Tight sites and expensive, busy area along the Maine coast
We stopped here in the summer to check out the coastal towns in southern Maine. There are many campgrounds in the area and we chose this one because they had a 25% off coupon (on a 7-night stay) which gave us the best nightly price in the area. However, the nightly rate was still$74/night, one reason being they charge a “resort fee” of$15/day which is ridiculous. This is a typical resort-style campground with lots of amenities (most of which we never use). But, for some people, this is a destination campground because of all the amenities- a large heated swimming pool, basketball courts, sand volleyball, bocce, fitness center, two playgrounds, 18-hole minigolf (that you pay extra for), and more.
The campsites in the front of the park are sandwiched between the swimming pool and Route 1 which is very busy and noisy. Campsites in the far back portion of the campground are shaded and a much quieter section. Camping pads and patios are a mix of gravel and sand. Many sites have shade and some have an astroturf patio (I think those are “premium” sites). Our campsite was in the middle section which was fairly quiet but the sites are close together with no privacy. The site was a long and level pull thru with a gravel pad and gravel/sand patio. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit.
There is a tent-only section and they have renal cabins. There is lots to do for families in the area including the beach and amusement and water parks. Restaurants of all sorts are nearby. You can easily walk to Congdon’s Donuts which is a Maine classic.

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.

Hampton Beach State Park Campground
Oceanfront camping at its best—full hookups just steps from the beach. Located in popular Hampton Beach, you'll be close to nightly bandshell concerts and vibrant nightlife. There is a lottery system in place for stays during the summer.

Great Place
Very Clean. They mow something everyday. Asphalt roads. Easy access to every spot. Extra clean showers and restrooms. They have activities for all ages. But no dog park. Why not? They have plenty of room.

Very Very Clean
We are used to dispersed out in the woods.
We are older and stayed 4 nights in the tent. The facility had the bathroom, we travel with our potty. The showers weee extremely nice. Great water pressure and hot water.
The camp sites are close together about 10 ft between. If you are looking for very remote and no one around you this is not the place for you.
We stayed in lot 7 right by the trail access. We were trying to sleep in but the early morning hikers walk right by the site.
The staff was super helpful, they had fire wood bundles there reasonably priced. It was to far from town either.
We found everyone to be very friendly and they all obeyed the dog leash rules that was excellent.
If you have an expensive car watch the falling acorns. 4 days of them I may have to make an insurance claim, not to mention I got hit by one that left a bruise.
The kitchen area was great for coffee we didn’t even have to fire up the generator.
The bathroom area set towards the middle, we are older and don’t run as fast so we always bring our camp toilet. They kept the bathrooms clean the toilet paper was good. Not a regular toilet no flushing or water or anything.
Guide to West Kennebunk
Maine's southern coast offers numerous camping and RV sites near West Kennebunk, Maine, with proximity to both the sandy beaches and inland attractions. The area experiences typical New England weather patterns with humid summers averaging 80°F and cool springs and falls. Most campgrounds in this region operate seasonally from April through October with limited winter accommodations.
What to do
Beach access options: Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach provides convenient beach transportation. "This campground is four miles from Old Orchard Beach which is a throw-back from your childhood when carnival rides and funnel cakes made you so happy. The town smells like fried food and pizza and shopping consists of t-shirts and beach chairs," notes Nancy W.
Wildlife viewing: Explore nearby marshlands for bird watching opportunities. Tuxbury Pond RV Campground offers water access for nature observation. "A great place to explore is Rachael Carson National Wildlife Refuge. There is a small welcome center and trails that wind through the marsh with some beautiful views (and dog-friendly)," suggests one camper.
Paddling excursions: Multiple campgrounds provide access to waterways. "If you like to paddle, head to the Saco River Marsh. Here you can put in your own boats or rent some and paddle through beautiful marsh – just watch the tides," advises a reviewer at Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach.
Multi-use trail access: Wild Duck Adult Campground sits near recreational paths. "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," notes Kevin W.
What campers like
Adult-only accommodations: Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park offers peace and quiet for those seeking an adults-only environment. "We stayed here in our popup for two nights in June 2018. The campground was veeerrryyy quiet, we almost felt bad making noise as we set up upon arrival," mentions Megan W.
Heated amenities: Several campgrounds maintain heated pools extending the swimming season. Cole's Mine RV Resort features themed water attractions. "This place is well payed out and very well taken care of. The pool is heated and has an amazing water slide and themed," states Andrew G.
Entertainment options: Some parks offer scheduled entertainment during peak season. "The stand up comedy was awesome. For the most part, the comedians kept it fairly clean & our 9 yr old did not get any of the jokes that were a little sassy," reports Sara D. about her stay at Tuxbury Pond RV Campground.
Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds provide organized events for guests. "Kid activities were done regularly. Pizza and breakfast is very good if you don't want to cook. Outdoor movies were fun," writes Jill P. about Shamrock Campground.
What you should know
Train noise: Some oceanside campgrounds experience railroad disruptions. "The campground map is missing the train tracks that are between the campground and the ocean. The trains all blow their horn and you will hear it if you're at one of the sites 'by the ocean,'" warns Bryan about Wild Acres Sun RV Resort.
Insect considerations: Marshland proximity means mosquito preparation is essential. "The only negative of this place was the mosquitoes. They were TERRIBLE. In the time it took after we parked the camper, to when I could dig the bug spray out of our truck I was covered in bites," cautions a Wild Duck camper.
Campsite spacing variations: Site proximity differs significantly between campgrounds and within sections. "The 30 amp sites are very close together. The campground layout is quite unusual, with campers parked lengthwise along the road. This means that you share the space where you sit outside with the camper behind you," notes Arno W. about Thousand Trails Moody Beach.
Beach transport options: Several campgrounds offer dedicated beach transportation services. "Great location trolley will pick you up from the campground and take you to Old Orchard Beach," mentions a Shamrock Campground guest.
Tips for camping with families
Theme parks nearby: Family-friendly attractions complement beach activities. "If you have kids and like water parks, Funtown Splashtown USA is a popular place especially on warm days and just down the street," notes a camper from Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach.
Playground facilities: Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort offers dedicated play areas. "If you have children, there's a nice play area with really nice playground equipment," mentions Susan J., highlighting the family-friendly amenities.
Movie nights: Some campgrounds offer family film screenings. "We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was friendly, the bathrooms and grounds were very clean, activities were fun, the playground/pool was nice... Kids had a blast with Friday and Saturday movie nights," comments Leona about Shamrock Campground.
Activity programming: Cole's Mine RV Resort provides dedicated children's facilities. "This place is perfect for small families or parents of younger kids. 2 amazing playgrounds, clean facilities and one amazing pool," reports Laura C.
Tips from RVers
