Comments


This is a fairly new campground maybe 5-6 years old. The sites are large and easy to back into. There are 5 sites in the open for "Aircraft Carrier" type rigs that want to hit the satellites although these large rigs will fit easily into most of the treed sites without any problem. This is a quiet campground with no planned activites and NO POOL. There is a little kids playground ith swings/slides and a basketball court with a net at only one end. This is a place to use as a base for going to the beaches and all the other things you'd do in southern Maine. It's located 10-15 minutes from US Rte.1 in Wells. There are several "pack-em & stack-em" campgrounds/RV parks there if that's your cup of tea, or a roomy/quiet site here. We liked it enough that we're returning the end of July for a long weekend.

If this is your 1st. visit to the area, I urge you to try The Maine Diner on US Rte.1 in Wells. This place is a landmark diner serving comfort food. There is usually a waiting line but they'll give you a beeper for when it's your turn.
