Great Family campground!

The amenities here make it a wonderful place for kids and adults!!   Nice,  clean and quiet!    I stayed on a spot by the water, that was totally worth the upgrade.

Dirty, bug-infested, rude staff

Looking for great views of the pond, hornet infested beach, cockroaches, dirty facilities that arent functional and cranky staff?? This is the spot for you!! Will never book here again- AVOID.

Good camground near Portland

We wanted to find a nice place for a weeks stay that would be convenient to Portland and Kennebunkport and thankfully, despite it being Labor Day weekend, we were able to find that at Wassamki Springs.

Pros: The park is very spacious with a nice large pond that you can fish, swim, or boat in. Sites were fairly spacious for the most part, though I did see some that were a little tighter. 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 in it. One unique thing that I liked was that each spot had multiple faucet hookups which may not always be necessary but it was a nice thing to have when we needed to run water outside without having to unhook our hose pipe. Each site came with a fire ring and picnic table which are always nice to have. Also, most sites were pretty well shaded.

Cons: Phone and internet service were not very good at all. We have Verizon and were barely able to use it. And their wi-fi was basically useless. Thankfully we had our Verizon jet pack hotspot that we were able to work off of, though even that didn’t work great all the time. 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. All of the sites were just dirt which is not a huge deal but it can obviously get messy, especially when it rains.

Overall: This was a very good campground with a lot to offer. There are a lot of seasonal or full time campers there so some sites are a little junky because of that but for the most part it looks pretty clean. You also have to have proof of rabies vaccination for any of your dogs so be prepared for that. But overall this was a good campground for all age groups and couples or families and it’s just a few minutes from downtown Portland so very convenient to a lot of stuff!

Very well organized

Really like this campground. Choose between shaded or sunny sites. Pond is warm water and sandy entrances although a little mucky further in from fallen pine needles. Water shoes suggested. Well organized events even in a pandemic. Cleaning done constantly. Friendly staff.
