RV sites are at least 40' x 40' using an open concept layout to maximize your comfort and view of the lake! We have three tent sites next to the lake. All sites have water and electricity as well as a fire ring and picnic table. Bathroom with flush toilets and showers close by. Rent one of our furnished RVs. We include (almost) everything you need for a fun vacation!
Swim, relax in the sun, build a sandcastle at our private beach, take your boat around the lake or fish from our dock. We have a playground, volleyball net, horseshoes, and family-friendly activities where kids and adults have a blast! We also have a rec hall with board games and DVDs.
Mac's Camping Area has been run by the McDonald family since the owner's grandfather cleared the land in 1970. Known to many as Mac, he believed camping should be affordable for all families. We pride ourselves in being a beautiful, fun, affordable family and pet-friendly campground. We place a high priority on customer service and adjusting to our current campers' wants and needs.

Augusta / Gardiner KOA
Endearing, but in need of a little love…
BF and I wanted a last minute fall weekend getaway in Maine, and ended up at the Augusta-Gardiner KOA. Generally tough to accomplish during leaf-peeping season, but we worked it out. We stayed at site T5, which was wooded but pretty open. Size was decent enough.
Overall, I’d say sites T8, T9, T10 are best if you’re tent camping. While all tent sites are tightly spaced next to one another, these 3 provide the most shade and privacy of the bunch.
Owners are super nice, but the campground could use a little love. Bathrooms and amenities are a little tired. There’s potential though, and some really cute details, like a little fairy house and homemade, bear-carved benches around a KOA-community fire pit, that make the campground endearing. Also, there’s a bunch to do during prime season, particularly for the kiddies- pool, mini-golf, bounce house, playground and space to runaround.

Winslow Park And Campground
Beautiful Sunrise
Clean bathrooms and spacious tent sites. You can choose to have a tent site right on the bay or off of the bay view. The bay view sites are our favorite, we get front row seats every morning to the sunrise on the water, we just have to peek outside our tent. So beautiful! One of my favorite campsites!

Searsport Shores Ocean Campground
Family friendly, ocean views from some tent sites.
There's a handful of private tent sites with picnic tables. Some tent sites have ocean views. The tents sites aren't accessible by car though, so you need to put all your camping equipment into a wagon and pull it to your site.
There's a small pavilion for campground-communal lobster/clam bakes. Showers, laundry, playground, and small camp store are all available.
I definitely like more backcountry camping, but this was the only available campground in the area. It was great for a one-night stay, but it was very busy and too touristy.

Acres Of Wildlife Family Campground
Great experience
We went the last weekend they were open for the season (sometime in October) and it was a blast! Tent sites were spacious and had a decent amount of privacy. Electric and water hookups at tent sites. General store and amenities were clean and well taken care of! A lot of families around but it wasn’t distracting since the sites were private enough. Definitely recommend!

Tiny Cabins of Maine
Wonderful Camping Spot
I recently stayed at the Tiny Cabins of Maine with my family for two nights, opting for their tent camping site. From the moment we arrived, the host's warm welcome made us feel right at home. Despite some distant road noise at night, the overall ambiance was serene and beautiful. The tent camping amenities, including the pop-up toilet and sturdy wooden platform, were thoughtfully provided. The fire pit and picnic table were perfect for evening gatherings, and the hammock added an extra touch of relaxation. We enjoyed the pub's games and even tried our hand at axe throwing. Kayaking in the pond was a highlight, thanks to the convenient dock. While the trails required attention to follow, the directional signs helped. Overall, I highly recommend Tiny Cabins of Maine for a memorable small family retreat, and we're already looking forward to returning in the future.

Desert of Maine Campground
Great for late arrivals!
While on the road on a Saturday night, it was difficult finding an available tent site for Saturday night only in the area. Called Desert Dunes and the man helping me couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. We weren’t even sure if we would make it but he posted a campground map with my name on it and directions drawn out to an available tent site. We got there well after dark and ended up with a great little site (T3) and lucked out with no neighbors. The desert tour looked very cool but will have to wait for next time as we had to get back on the road.

Northport Campground
Rude,dirty,argumentive.
Advertised tent camping….No Vans not allowed in non electrical sites or 20 amp sites. Parts look like a homeless encampment, others look like a junk yard. When we found the owner he was unknowledgeable and rude.

Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park
Not for tent campers
We stayed one night on our way to Acadia and the tent sites were extremely small and very close together. Seems more of an RV spot

Great little campground
Beautiful views from the tent camping sites. a7 was real nice. My only complaints were the toilet paper was so thin I could barely pull it (so I brought my own) and the planes. Not horrible but something to consider… I would definitely go back

We've stayed at Duck Puddle several times over the years. The sites have always been tidy and staff friendly. Tent sites are close together but comfortable and the location is very convenient to Damriscotta and other downeast towns.

Paradise Park Resort
Noisy but nice
Nice little campground with many amenities which unfortunately shut down the weekend before we arrived. Clean restrooms and showers. Tent site unfortunately flooded with an inch of rain during storm. Noisy even though fairly empty. Lots of barking dogs.

Friendly staff, beautiful location
The staff/owners were very friendly and my tent site was right on the beach. The sunrise and sunset were absolutely gorgeous. The price was incredible given the proximity to the water. The only negative was that the RVs were pretty loud.

Crowded, but great for kids
lots of great amenities and events for kids. tent sites are on top of each other, but easy walk to camp store and bath houses. beach access for swimming in the lake. can be noisy outside of quiet hours, but becomes surprisingly quiet later at night.

Really loved the scenery....canoe around the lake, visit 1Big Sustainable island. Lot of tent sites on the water, we had #24, with loud family of 6 children 10’ away. Friday night 3am train is loud. Sunrise on the water beautiful, which gives this site an extra star

Amazing place
We always tent camp and have always loved this camp but our last trip it rained pretty much the whole time -not a big deal we enjoy the outdoors but the camp owner went above and beyond letting my kids stay in the lodge to get dry and just making sure to check in to make sure we were okay

Naples Campground
Family fun
We went RVing here, like the vast majority of people. I wouldn’t want to tent camp here. There were a lot of activities for kids and adults on the weekend. The bath houses were new and nice.
The new area has no trees and just looks like a big RV parking lot, but the older part has plenty of trees.

Saco/Old Orchard Beach KOA
We tent camped at Saco/Old Orchard Beach KOA. The staff was very friendly and when I called to book the site, they assisted in helping us pick out the nicest campsite. This KOA is close to Old Orchard Beach, the city of Portland, and towns of Kennebunkport, Ogunquit, Wells and Kittery Outlets. We enjoy staying here and would highly recommend it to others.

Beautiful & Quiet
We stayed here on our way from Boston to Acadia. This is a beautiful campground that caters to adults only. It feels very secluded but it's close to everything. The tent sites are pretty close to each other but we had no issues with noise. Bathhouse and bathrooms were very clean. I would definitely stay here again!

Point Sebago Resort
Nice for families
This is what I would call camping for those that still want all the comforts of a resort, which is exactly what this place is. There a few tent sites and some RV sites, but Point Sebago is mainly full of their “cabins.” The “cabins” can be rented too. The sites have water and electricity which is nice and you have access to many of the resort amenities, of which there are lots. It wasn’t may favorite place to camp, but it wouldn’t be bad for families just starting to get into camping.

Family and Friends Campground
Ok, not great
Very wooded area. Hard to maneuver big rigs. Steep, unleveled roads. Water is yellow and stunk of iron. Manager assured it was safe. Made our shower look dirty constantly. Probably a better tent campground but was fine for a couple weeks. Manager was nice and helpful.

Ocean Front Property
The check-in couple were awesome! Chatted for a while and made us feel welcomed. The campgrounds were very nice, and our tent site was the largest site on the grounds.
The loss of one star is the pricing. I guess the campgrounds were bought out by some corporate conglomerate last year, and the current pricing shows. We paid $75 for one night. There was water to the site, but no electricity.

Bayley's Campground Snack Bar
Interesting campground
This campground is huge. They have a lot of amenities. They have pools for just adults, nice camp stores, a restaurant, many pools. They have trolleys that will bring you to 2 locations to the beach. They have nice shower facilities (free). A nice but pricey laundry facility. The biggest issue I had was the the size of it. It felt like it took forever to get to the back of the campground where the tent sites are.
