    Forest Glen

    Forest Glenn campground

    Forest Glenn campground is a very nice campground on Wheelwright pond in Lee New Hampshire! Not well kept up but makes you feel like you’re still camping and not glamping ( glamorous camping ) besides some of the very nice campers here with 2 stories on them! Anyway cutting to the chase, just to let any new comers know that are looking for camping in the Lee area if you so choose to camp at forest Glenn depending who you are or how you approach this place dictates if you will have to feel like your stepping on eggshells your entire stay… the owner is a angry Drunk who is sometimes very nice to others or very nasty, and I personally mostly see him being nasty. A couple years back I wanted to look at the campground to see if this would be a place I wanted to stay at so I walked into the office and asked them if we could look around and the lady was in the process of writing us a pass to drive through. This man comes in and said whats going on so I politely told him that we were interested in his campground and we wanted to look around. He completely flipped out said he doesn't understand, said his campground is his back yard, we can't allow this how would you like if I just walked around your back yard etc etc.... yelling at us the whole time and spitting while screaming and then told us to get out of his sight…. This place mind you is overrun by golf carts and I have heard of incidents where people get hit by them because who cares about the posted 5mph speed limitations if your in a golf carts right? Right! And CLEARLY this place is a Double standard place so you will not be treated equal… and as far as I know this place has secret people who camp supposedly working at camp like the manager and security and the plumber or electrician who look like their helping but while helping they gather information about you to spread it around to others or to cause problems with you and the owner!! Oh how thoughtful… one Morning I was in the office and the owner pulled me into the rec room to have a talk with me about my string lights suggesting I shut them off at night and I’m not allowed to use them anymore. I said “sir why would I do that there are 50 other sites with spot lights and string lights Who are these lights bothering that I need to take them down for? “ he said use them inside the trailer I don’t want to see them on again! “ now tell me how that makes any sense… so I shut them off and it became like a minefield on my site at night with no lights while the campers down a different street get to have theirs on. There is no privacy at this place, things keep going missing, and the sites are packed like sardines with no room for Jesus. There are also people staying here over winter and it’s a seasonal campground tell me how that makes any sense. Anyway definitely an experience to be at where drama hits too close to home and the golf cart parking spots are rolling a little to close to my feet. “ oh sorry my foot slipped “ #welp time to search for another place. Seems to be a trend with almost every campground. Angry owners who automatically cause problems or can’t run their own business place without drug addicts for help ( to say the least me and my wife WILL NOT BE COMING BACK )

    Tuxbury Pond RV Campground

    This camping trip truly exceeded my expectations

     The campground was clean, peaceful, and surrounded by wide open views. During the day, the natural landscape felt refreshing and expansive, and at night, the sky was filled with stars, creating a calm and almost magical atmosphere. The layout of the campsite was well planned, making it easy and comfortable for both beginners and experienced campers to enjoy their stay. One fun thing I did after the trip was use Idea To Image to recreate some of the moments that stood out to me—sunrise over the tents, the warmth of the campfire, and the quiet starry night. It helped me turn those memories into beautiful visuals that really captured the peaceful vibe of the experience. Looking back at them now feels like being transported right back to the campsite. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking to slow down and reconnect with nature.

    Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground

    Two week stay

    Read reviews on google. That’s the experience we had. The signs no everything. Cash only. The management is very weird acting and riding around on a bicycle. I feel so weird making this review because this place is odd . The tenants are fun and the scenery is great. But but but you’ve been warned. Turn your blue tooth off and your WiFi so that your cellphone privacy is protected.

    Gunstock Campground

    Great Spot

    Fairly extensive camp ground associated with Gunstock ski area on central New Hampshire. We arrived without a reservation a bit after the office closed, but Elena, the manager came out to let us in and allowed us to check in. She was great. Dogs must have proof of rabies vaccine. Very nice showers. Beautiful fall colors.

Guide to York Beach

Camping near York Beach, Maine is concentrated along the Route 1 corridor with most facilities operating from May through mid-October. The coastal terrain includes salt marshes and beaches within short driving distance of campgrounds. Summer temperatures typically range from 65-80°F with coastal breezes, while evening temperatures can drop significantly even during peak season.

What to do

Kayaking access points: Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground provides direct water access for paddlers exploring the harbor. "It is right on the ocean, and it's just beautiful. There's a great restaurant across the street that is owned by the same folks who own the campground," notes Jessica A.

Lighthouse viewing: Libbys Oceanside Camp offers spectacular lighthouse views from oceanfront sites. "This campsite has a great view over the ocean towards the lighthouse. The site is very tidy and toilets clean!" reports Olaf.

Beach exploration: Multiple beaches within 15 minutes of most campgrounds offer varied experiences from swimming to tide pooling. "The campground is set right on the ocean but you're still in the forest. Everyone is really friendly at the camp and in town," explains evelyn about Cape Neddick.

Antique shopping: Route 1 features numerous antique stores between campgrounds. "This is a great home base if you plan to travel Rt 1 up to LL Bean passing by great places like Ogunquit and Wells," mentions one camper from Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground.

What campers like

Oceanfront sites with sound of waves: Libbys Oceanside Camp offers premium oceanfront sites with crashing surf sounds. "Sounds of crashing surf are divine. Lobster Cove restaurant is walkable and very good," shares Tim M.

Clean modern bathhouses: Sea Vu Campground receives praise for exceptional facilities. "The best bathhouse that I have seen. The only negative is the site we stayed at was mostly dirt and it rained and was a mess," reports Mike H.

What you should know

Site spacing varies significantly: Dixons Coastal Maine Campground has sites that differ in size and privacy. "Site can vary in size. So check when you book that your site will be big enough," advises Dan G.

Reservation timing critical: Many campgrounds book completely 6-8 months in advance for summer season. "This is a tent only area that feels a little more secluded and quiet with some nice privacy between sites," explains one camper about specialized camping areas.

Tent camping limitations: Some oceanfront campgrounds restrict camping types. "Great view of cape Neddick harbor at this campground for tents and tent trailers only. This is also weekly or longer rental spots," notes Peter F. about limitations at certain facilities.

Weather preparation necessary: Coastal fog and temperature fluctuations occur frequently even in summer. "The sites are small but we are here for ocean views which are amazing," explains Alexander H., highlighting the tradeoff many campers make.

Tips from RVers

Water/electric hookup availability: Most campgrounds offer full hookups with 30/50 amp service. "We had a full hook up site, mixed in with a bunch of vintage campers. It was Vintage Camper weekend after all," explains Joe R. about specialty camping events.

Wi-Fi reliability issues: Signal strength varies significantly between campgrounds and even between sites. "The WiFi was a little sketchy," notes Gayle M. about connectivity challenges common throughout coastal campgrounds.

Road condition awareness: Some campgrounds have tight internal roads making navigation difficult. "Huge campground and the spaces are very tight, not to mention $148 for a full hook up pull thru site that my 42 ft 5w barely fit," warns Ronald C. about site access challenges.
