LegendThis is one of our favorite campgrounds in the region. Close to the Botanical Gardens and the lovely historic town of Boothbay. The campground is small and well appointed with a super clean bath house and laundry room. Showers are free and the water is hot. Tasty beers and great food available at the brewery, though the brewery isn’t open on Monday- Wednesday.
TravelerRelaxing! Fun! Camping the way camping should be!! Nice wooded sites! Super friendly seasonals! The owner is the best and his campground is beautiful! You can tell he puts the “happy” in camping!! Stay Happy!!
RangerI have stayed in about 20 campgrounds in the past two months and this was by far the loudest despite being pretty empty. Kids screeching and screaming for about 6 hours a day, including weekdays. Had one come knocking on my door while I was working to try and sell keychains. Some uncontrollable dogs in our loop as well. Despite the lack of peace, the campground itself was in good shape and had a lot of amenities.
TravelerThe campsites are very nice, but they are mostly made for tents or at biggest a van. There were only two spots that we could fit our school bus. About 35ft. We also have starlink so that’s a necessity to have clear sky view. The only campsite with this was the last campsite before the end of the road closes. Which was taken but they were gone in the morning we just moved down. Now it’s very secluded but the drive is very long down so plan for a couple days. You can stay up to 14 days. Road down is a little bumpy but our school bus made it through!
ScoutVery 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.
GuideWe 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.
ScoutPark 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.
GuideIt's a cute campground with a beach and boat dock. Laundry, pool, showers all available but I didn't use them.
TravelerLarge sites, clean pit toilets, in a beautiful, wooded campground adjacent to the Swift River.
Camp host, who’s been there for many years, keeps things clean, organized, and quiet.
Most sites can handle multiple big tents. Plenty of toilet houses and dumpsters available.
The great boulder loop trail is right there. It’s a very short walk to the trail head and it has gorgeous views of the swift river valley with much lower crowds than the major peaks in the whites.
Grab a drink and your chairs and take a short walk on one of the paths to the swift river and hang out a while.

Paddling opportunities: 5-10 miles from town. Wild Duck Adult Campground connects directly to Scarborough Marsh. "This adult only campground is peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear. It is within a mile of the Audubon center office, where you can either put in your own kayak/canoe or rent one," notes one camper.
Beach access via shuttle: 30-minute ride. Paradise Park Resort offers free transportation to Old Orchard Beach. "A shuttle will take you from the campground to the beach so you don't have to deal with parking," explains a camper. "Free shuttle to transport you back and forth to ocean," confirms another visitor.
Fishing opportunities: No license required for children under 16. Wassamki Springs Campground features a pond stocked with fish. "The park is very spacious with a nice large pond that you can fish, swim, or boat in," reports a camper. The pond has multiple access points with sandy beach areas for fishing from shore.
Adult-only environments: Limited to ages 21+. Wild Duck Adult Campground provides a quieter camping experience. "A small campground with not a ton of sites but that is what we like. This is a quiet and low key campground so if you are looking for lots of activities then this isn't the place to be," explains one visitor.
Working farm experiences: Daily animal interactions. Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground combines camping with agricultural education. "The kids really enjoy running in field and that there is a working farm within the camp ground," writes one camper. Another adds, "We loved that! This campground is located on an organic dairy farm. There is a farm cafe on site with local food."
Range of accommodation types: Tents to cabins. Many campgrounds offer multiple lodging options. "Sites were not very private, but the views and scenery are spectacular. My kids enjoyed visiting with the farm animals and walking along the rocky shore each day," notes a camper at Wolfe's Neck, which offers ocean-view sites for tents, RVs, and cabins.
Seasonal variations: Different atmospheres May-October. Peak season from late June through August brings the most crowded conditions and highest rates. "We stayed for 3 nights in late July. This adult only campground is peaceful and quiet," explains a camper at Wild Duck, while others note that shoulder seasons offer significant savings and quieter environments.
Mosquito preparation: Bring repellent May-September. Due to proximity to marsh areas, insects can be intense, especially at dusk. "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," warns a visitor to Wild Duck.
Reservation timing: 6+ months advance for waterfront. Premium sites at Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach and other waterfront locations book quickly. "We were there the first week of June and could walk up and get a site that day but they said that late June you need to schedule your stay in advanced," reports a camper at Paradise Park Resort.
Pool facilities: Multi-age options. Paradise Park Resort features kid-friendly amenities. "There are multiple pools and playgrounds. One pool has a hot tub for kids.

Organized activities: Weekly schedules. Many campgrounds run structured programming. "Well organized events even in a pandemic. Cleaning done constantly. Friendly staff," reports a Wassamki Springs visitor. Another camper adds, "They have a game room with pool tables and other games and even a jukebox and they offer things like a weekly bingo night and Sunday breakfast."
Site selection: Premium vs standard trade-offs. Sebago Lake State Park Campground offers both premium and standard options. "Half of area is set up with RV hookups, so it nicely separates the tents from the RVs," explains a visitor. Another notes, "Sites are very close together. Luckily many of the sites around me were not occupied but I get the feeling that is rare."
Utility hookups: Water restrictions at state parks. While private campgrounds typically offer full hookups, state parks may have limited services. "Each site offered cable but for whatever reason ours didn't work so I'm not sure if that was for the whole campground or just our site," reports a camper at Wassamki Springs.
Access considerations: Length restrictions under 40 feet. Several campgrounds have narrow access roads. "Roads in the park are gravel and can get dusty but the staff did use dust-abatement issues that worked pretty well," notes a camper. Site leveling can also be challenging at some locations, with reports of "difficulty leveling our small motorhome" at the Desert of Maine Campground.
