    Wakeda Campground's dog park features an agility course, making it a standout option for pet owners camping near York Harbor. The spacious off-leash area provides ample room for dogs to exercise while their owners enjoy the campground's wooded setting. Several pet-friendly campgrounds in the region offer full hookup RV sites, tent camping areas, and cabin rentals that welcome dogs. Libbys Oceanside Camp permits pets and provides oceanfront sites where guests can hear the crashing surf while camping with their dogs. Thousand Trails Moody Beach in nearby Moody allows pets and offers a small but clean dog park alongside their pool facilities. Most campgrounds require pets to be leashed when not in designated off-leash areas, and many provide waste stations throughout the grounds.

Wildlife sightings including wild turkeys, rabbits, and hummingbirds enhance the camping experience at many of these woodlands locations. The winter off-season typically brings more flexible pet policies at some facilities that restrict dogs during summer months.

      Wakeda Campground, LLC

      Beautiful forest

      We stayed At Wakeda Campground overnight during a trip from Maine back to Long Island, NY. It was located very close off of 95 and allows pets. We were overwhelmed by the beautiful massive forest. The campground was splendid with old tall, pine trees everywhere. They offered electric, water, and sewer hook up, trading post that had camping goods and snacks, WiFi hotspot, pool table, and lounging area. They also had a game room, miniature golf, coffee shop and dog park.

      The first campsite they assigned to us was very secluded but unfortunately, we were coming in during a major rainstorm. That site was a little flooded so we chose another. It still had beautiful trees surrounding it but not as secluded from neighbors. There are also many seasonal campers there but all of their sites were beautifully decorated with flowers and such. Everyone was friendly that we encountered during our stay.

      We had bathrooms located near our site. They were four separate bathrooms that had a sink and toilet and were clean. They did offer showers in another area but I did not use them.

      Walking around we saw wild turkeys, bunnies, and a hummingbird. It would have been great if they offered a nature trail in the campground since the forest was so beautiful. There were paths that went into the woods but they were marked for employees only.

      The next day we wanted to go for a hike before we hit the road. Unfortunately, the state parks near the campsite do not allow dogs during late Spring to early Fall. Using our Bring Fido App, we found Rails to Trails nearby that we could bring our dog and hiking cat. We did the Salisbury Point Ghost Trail that was nice and shady, though flat, but a nice leisurely walk for all of us.

      Thousand Trails Moody Beach

      Consider Thousand Trails Membership for Better Value

      Consider the Thousand Trails membership when booking this site. Our annual membership fees basically covered what it would cost to camp here for two weeks.

      The campground has good proximity to Orchard Beach and Portland. However, the spots are pretty tight, and the WiFi is awful away from the registration office. We were in the wooded area, but those camping on the outskirts seemed able to utilize their Starlink.

      The dog park and pool were small but nice. The bathroom facilities were pretty good, though they weren't cleaned as often as they should be.

      Paradise Park Resort

      Great clean campground

      Great campground, it is walking distance to Old Orchard beach and has large sites. Many family activities including fishing, 2 pools, a dog park, and a snack shack.

      Friendly, with a great location

      I came here last year with my dog.  We only stayed two nights.  It was his first time camping, so I made a note in my reservation request that I'd like a fairly remote site - just in case he got loud.  They put me in the perfect site, near the dog park (they have a dog park!).  When the forecast changed to thunderstorms, they let me switch my dates without any hassle.  The location is convenient for Newburyport, Portsmouth, and the Seacoast.   We ended up having a lovely stay.

      Just a note, I took my dog for a walk around the campground and noticed that many of the other sites were rather close together - including the cabins.  Some people don't mind, and even enjoy, close neighbors.  If you're like me, however, you'll want to ask for a more remote site.

      One more thing to note; I booked through Rover Pass and ended up paying them a fee.  Next time I'll contact the park directly.

      I'm looking forward to another trip soon!

      Seasonal camper oriented, but comfortable for a short stay

      We stayed for two nights at Wakeda with our travel trailer. The paved roads were a plus, as was a very level campsite. The majority of campers seemed to be there for the season and were their own little community. 

      Our full hookup site was very close to other sites, so unfortunately we had to deal with some noise issues. We could hear our neighbors loudly talking at 2 AM, and also were treated to the sound of the same neighbor's dog barking for hours during the when they left him alone. That being said, this was not the fault of the campground itself.

      Wakeda's proximity to Hampton Beach was awesome -- a less than 15-minute drive for us. We also enjoyed the dog park. It was spacious and well maintained.

      Beach Rose RV Park

      Nice small campground near the beach!

      Beach Rose RV Park in Salisbury, Massachusetts is a small, friendly, family-owned campground near the beach. The staff was very accommodating and went out of their way to find us a spot on a busy holiday weekend due to a campground mishap. The park is very clean and they have a nice swimming pool and amenities. The dog park area was large and shady, but a lot of mosquitos. You are pretty close to your neighbors, but the sites do accommodate bigger rigs because of the length. The sites are 30/50 amp FHU and wifi was decent. The best thing about Beach Rose RV Park is the proximity to the beach and town. Who doesn’t love a day at the beach? 💗😬👍🏻

    Guide to York Harbor

    York Harbor camping areas range from oceanfront sites with lighthouse views to wooded inland campgrounds with salt marsh access. The coastal Maine weather pattern creates distinct camping seasons from mid-May through mid-October, with summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F and cool evenings around 55-60°F. Many campgrounds close seasonally due to harsh winter conditions.

    What to do

    Kayaking on salt marshes: At Sandy Pines Campground, campers can launch directly from the property. "There is a small waterway that leads right out to some tidal rivers that go to the ocean, great for kayaking and fishing," notes J.W. The campground offers beautiful sunrise views over the marshes.

    Visit local lighthouses: Cape Neddick's Nubble Lighthouse is a short drive from Dixons Coastal Maine Campground. Bob W. recommends: "Don't miss Nubble Light House and Fox's Lobster house. Around the corner is a great Ice Cream shop."

    Mountain biking nearby trails: The coastal area offers unexpectedly good biking opportunities. "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," according to Joe R., who stayed at Sandy Pines.

    What campers like

    Oceanfront camping experiences: Libbys Oceanside Camp offers sites with direct ocean views. "Many sites right on the oceanfront. Many pull thru sites with ocean views," shares Peter F. Another camper, Luz M., enthuses: "Truly after 13 States we been on, this is by far the best spot we stayed on."

    Clean, well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness stands out at many York Harbor area campgrounds. At Wakeda Campground, Martin S. notes: "Nice and clean toilets and showers(paid). A very good option if you go to Hampton Beach." The campground and bathrooms are "kept very clean," according to Kelly F.

    Pool access during hot days: When beach days get crowded, on-site pools provide relief. Tim M. from Libbys Oceanside Camp mentions that "Mgt staff is absolutely fantastic! So friendly and helpful." Meanwhile, Celeste C. notes about Sandy Pines: "The pool is heated and very inviting."

    What you should know

    Site spacing varies significantly: At York Beach Camper Park, Peter F. notes it's "about 10 min walk to short sands beach in York." However, many campgrounds have tight spacing. Claire W. observes about Libbys: "Campsites jammed together. No fire pit no ocean access even for a view."

    Shower situations differ: Many campgrounds charge for showers. At Dixons Coastal Maine Campground, Dan G. advises: "Bring quarters for the showers." Katrina M. adds: "It's 50 cents for 5 minutes to take a shower (unheard of) with hot water."

    Reservation timing matters: Most campgrounds operate seasonally from May through October. Wakeda Campground runs "May 15 to October 1" while Libbys Oceanside Camp operates "Mid May to Mid Oct." Booking well in advance is essential, especially for oceanfront sites.
