Campsites were relatively level but with the mature trees overhead, there is no grass. This makes for a very dirty campsite and a lot of dirt tracked into the trailer. The campsites are also very narrow. We didn't experience the electrical problems but would agree that the campsites were rustic. The staff were very helpful and actually escorted us to our site and made sure that we were set up and didn't need anything. There is a trolley service to the area and some activities for the kids. The playground was great for both toddlers and kids. We camped next to the playground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Just a fine park. Rate was for a 30amp pull through site without sewer or cable TV. Reflects 10% off for KOA Value Card. Was $7 higher during weekend. Also got a $35 discount for using points from previous KOA visits. A little tight for big rigs (40') but doable. Staff was terrific!!! Only negative: our site somewhat off level, needed blocks under the rear wheels when using auto jacks, to avoid tires in air. Would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A difficult dilemma rating this KOA. Yes: the store, pool, snack bar and playground were really nice. The staff was warm and friendly. However, they really only had one modern bathroom and ONE modern shower stall; in the office building near the larger sites. The balance of the showers and toilets were older and farther away. As well, most of the sites were "rough surface" and pretty rustic. The picnic tables were older and a number wobbly. Yes, there is plenty of shade, but many sites were very narrow, with fire pits that ended up under one's awnings. And these were called the premium sites. One fire pit next door was made out of crumbling cement block above ground, the next was completely below ground with a tire ring, easy to step into. Additionally, they were having constant problems handling the electrical load on a mid 80's day; with the power going off (along with the internet access) in different sections, several times in one day. Internet service was flukey as well. Yes: they have a nice shuttle service into town, but they need to do some improvements to the electrical grid and freshen up the sites a bit. Yes: this is a decent campground, close to everything. But, a 9 or a 10? No. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The availability of printed info on local activities is the most complete and well-organized we've ever seen. Staff members abound and are very helpful. We stayed in the front section and in that area, at least, evening lighting was absent. Pricey if not a KOA "member," especially if just parking and not making use of all the many offerings within the campground. We'd stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice CG. Helpful, friendly staff and a pleasent location. The CG is sort of tight for us (41') but do-able. The grounds were very well maintained. They have breakfast and dinner at the Merry Moose Cafe. I couldn't leave my site with the truck attached but without it we did fine. We would go there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park, lots of activities for the kids. Breakfast at the Merry Moose is a must do: wonderful food for very little $$$. Trolly is available to take you to the beach: cost $2.00 roundtrip. Can't beat it, since it's $10 to park at the Old Orchard Beach. Sites are close, but level. Sites are dirt, but kept clean. Roads are well marked, and nicely kept. Laundry is nice, clean and works well. Employees are awesome, very helpful and knowledgable of the area. We would recommend this park and would come back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is very clean, excellent personnel, very helpful. There seemed to be plenty of activities. A major drawback - the site we were in which was in the back row was very tight. Our awning went over our neighbor's water tap. This wasn't a problem for us since we did not spend any time outside due to several rainy days. WI-FI was low and seemed to disconnect every once in awhile. The site also included cable TV which we enjoyed having. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here for one night. Price payed included 4 adults and 2 dogs and KOA member discount. We had 5 guests join us for dinner and were not charged extra since it was still off season. Staff was exceptional and very friendly. Roads and some sites have been recently graded and very smooth. Restroom, showers were spotless. Saw many workers around the grounds preparing the campground for the up coming season. We would definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We just left after an extended period of time in this campground. We keep going back because they do everything right. This year was unusually wet and rainy which resulted in puddles in the roads and some of the campsites, but they were filled in as soon as possible. The trees can make it difficult for a large motorhome to maneuver while towing a car, but only in a few spots. The only reason for not rating them as a 10 is that there is always room for improvement. We are already looking forward to our next trip up here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground in southern Maine with friendly staff, efficient and knowlegable registration staff, shaded sites, free newspaper, plenty of activities for children. Plus the Merry Moose, from where pizzas, breakfast waffles, pancakes, and desserts can be ordered and either eaten at the canopied area or delivered to your site. Location of campground is convenient to all the places one would like to see in and about the area. Quiet in the back area, front area gets traffic noise, but nights are quiet and peaceful. Will definitely stay here if in the area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is a waste of money and time. Staff is very unfriendly and does not know much about camping. It's located next to an industrial park and a used-car dealer. The camping sites are very poorly maintained. The owner is not interested in fixing problems for campers but is interested in collecting your money. Good luck, I wish you the best. Don't expect much and you will be happy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for one night following several in Bar Harbor area. Rain had created puddles, many large, and the site we had was dirt with many large puddles. It was narrow and trees precluded it being a "pull through" as we had to unhook the car. Won't stay here again unless they fill in the depressions that fill with water! Work campers were very nice and helpful. Staff provided great a recommendation for seafood in nearby Orchard Beach: Huot's. Worth going to this area just for that restaurant. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was nice, the store was well stocked, the staff were fine. BUT we did have one issue - we booked a year ago our site water and electric - when we arrived we had to pay an additional 3.00 and they would only give us a site with Water electric and sewer. The pool was fine, the campground was clean, washroom were clean. We will stay here again, when in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here one night. It is very Friendly. A nice quiet campground with the standard things to do. All sites very shaded. The only problem is the Mosquitoes which is more of a problem with the state than the campground. It is a 5 minute drive to the ocean. We would stop there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here 3 nights while visiting Southern Maine. The campground was very nice. The people in the front desk couldn't have been nicer. Every day you get a free newspaper. There is lots of entertainment without leaving the campground including outdoor movies, bingo, crafts for the kids, and they even deliver pizza, ice, wood, and desserts to your door if you wish. It is very well maintained and friendly KOA conveniently just minutes away from the Portland sights, Kennebunk, and the Orchard Beach area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The past reviews obviously were done before this campground fell into disrepair. We made reservations several weeks in advance and were given a site which could not possibly begin to accommodate a 40 foot motorhome. It was full of potholes, large rocks and extremely uneven. They said "Sorry, but that's all we have." Apparently, if you are a seasonal camper, you are given preference. Just getting through the park was a challenge. They evidently do not enforce any rules whatsoever, as there were wash lines everywhere, junk everywhere, outside kitchens with junk piled everywhere. The grass, what there was of it, was a mess. Basically, it was a trashy trailer park. We left, very disappointed and found accommodations elsewhere. I don't know about others, but KOA seems, for the most part to be going down the tubes. I doubt, with the exception of one or two KOA's across the nation, we will not be using them again. AND they were charging an outrageous rate per nite. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very pretty park and very friendly staff. Pull-through sites were a tad bit wider than most KOAs and beneath lots of beautiful trees. Super clean restrooms, but showers were in their own "rooms" that were unheated--fine for most of the year, but a bit cold in October mornings. A great daily breakfast offered at a reasonable price with fantastic pancakes and waffles. Cable TV worked great, and wi-fi was good initially, but then broke down during the weekend I was there and park staff were never able to fix it in the remaining 2 days I was there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground was very nice for a KOA however way over priced. The first thing to turn us off was the charge per kid. Price only includes 2 adults as a family. No kids. I was disappointed in that. Should include at least 2 adults / 2 kids. Other than that everything was good. Drive thru sites outback are huge. Plenty of room for camper and 2 cars. Campground staff were very friendly and plentiful. Nice snack bar and store. Didn't use pool although it looked a bit small however clean. Water park outside gate in Saco. Easy and close to beach. Nice campground. We would return and can only hope they change their family policy. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My husband and I absolutely loved this campground. Relatively small, extremely well cared for, bathrooms spotless, and staff were exceptional. They offer blueberry pancakes or waffles every morning (additional charge) that were outrageous. The only complaint we had was that the space they assigned us for our fifth wheel was too tight and we could not open up our awning completely. Other than that, we can't wait to return to spend another week there. Great location! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the only park I have rated a ’10.’ From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us as family. The office has a room full of brochures for sightseeing as well as hand-typed directions to the most popular places. The park is a typical KOA with lots of trees, but I have never seen one so well-maintained. There were pots of flowers and blooming beds scattered throughout the park, and everything was clean and orderly. The wi-fi worked well and is free to boot. The tall trees prevented us from getting a TV satellite signal, but they do have cable. The laundry was clean and reasonably priced. Normally I feel KOAs are overpriced, but our rate reflects one of their “hot deals,” which covered almost the entire month of June. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here with a NAFCA group. The staff was great. Very clean grounds. Some of the sites are tight for big rigs but will fit. The pool was sparkling clean. Pool rules are enforced. Great pancake breakfast. Prices are cheap for the amount of food you get. The sites in the front of the campground are close to the main st. We stayed to the rear of the property and it was pretty quiet at night. Sites have fire ring and picnic table. We will camp here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Great campground. We had been here before, and will continue to return as long as the current owners are there. The only reason for not giving them higher rating is that it can be a little tight from a few sites for a big rig, although you can make it, and those same trees make satellites a challenge. We're already planning next year's trips around a return here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an average CG, it's clean and water pressure is very good, the Wi-Fi is free, it disconnected from time to time, when trying to connect first time, it says you have 1 hour and you can click the bottom again to access another hour again, but it since disconnect sooner then that. A lot worker riding the golf car around all the time, it create some noise when they drive by. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The place was just all right. It was clean but the roads were in poor condition. The staff were mainly work-campers who were not familar with the area and were of little help regarding directions or sight seeing. And they were all over. Too many busy-bees in KOA shirts flocking all over the campground. Felt like I was under surveillance. I am sure that there are nicer places to stay and we will try one of those next time.

Located on/near a busy road, so noise levels can be high, but the numerous trees help to muffle some of the noise. The park is clean and well laid out, with lots of amenities and activities for families. The staff are friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (7 nights) and would recommend the park without hesitation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Price reflects Passport America membership. This park is near FunTown, Old Orchard, and many Maine beaches. The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating. The campground is nicely kept, it has 2 pools, a rec hall, and nice playground for the kids. There are many seasonals and Park Models, but all are kept in great shape and and the folks are very friendly. Anytime we are in the area we WILL stay here. It's a great place.

We traveled across the country from Washington State and this was, by far our favorite spot. The owners were the best: they were friendly, helpful and provided a wealth of information on the area. They go the extra mile to make your experience a great one. The campground is very well maintained and an ideal base for exploring southern Maine. We planned on staying two nights and ended up staying ten! We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the nicest campgrounds around. Most sites are very level, and many back up to a woodsy area. Mosquitos can be bad, but they have been everywhere we have gone in Maine. Best Wi-Fi ever: great signal, even when they were fairly busy. Host was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again! (Rate based on CampClub USA rate.)

We stayed here for four days and, unfortunately, it rained every day. The sites are nice and level with full, 50 amp, hookups, cable TV and WiFi which worked very well. Because of the rain, much of the area was muddy, but we still enjoyed it. The owner, Mary Ann, and her father-in-law were very friendly and helpful. We paid $25 Passport rate and they really like Passport members. Mary Ann said that most of their people here now are Passport members. They don't accept Passport June 30 to Labor day, but she said that if someone calls and they have a space available during that time she will welcome them rather than sit with a empty site. Most Passport campgrounds in the New England area don't accept the discount during the summer because of the short season and I understand that. I would recommend this campground very highly because of the nice facilities and the very friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Restrooms were clean, laundry room is small with no place to fold clothes. Staff is friendly and informative. About one half of the sites are seasonal with numerous park models and these sites are well maintained. Most sites are shaded but some are small and will not satisfy requirements for a big RV. They do have some big rig sites in the front. It is centrally located to visit Kennebunkport, Kittery, Portland, and Freeport. One drawback is the roads are dirt and many of the sites are more dirt than grass and it is dusty or muddy when wet. Good if you want a nice central campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
