Jellystone Park™ Androscoggin Lake

104 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 5 Tent Sites

Jellystone Park at Androscoggin Lake in Leeds, Maine, offers 105 RV sites, eight cabins, and five tent sites across 150 acres with half a mile of private lakefront, carrying 30 and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Standard lakefront, deluxe back-in, and premium pull-through categories sit behind a gated entrance with a water park and disc golf course. One hundred five sites span standard, standard RV/tent, standard lakefront, deluxe back-in, and premium pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lakefront category is worth requesting. Eight cabins and five tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. The lake carries the recreation. A boat ramp, boat docks, and beach give direct access for boating, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, with a water park, outdoor pool, and inflatable water toys besides. Mini-golf, a disc golf course, jumping pillow, gaga ball, gem mining, arcade, craft room, recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, and basketball fill the grounds, with golf cart rentals, on-site dining, food trucks, and live music through the season. Pets are welcome. Androscoggin Lake sits in central Maine's western lake district — clear glacial water, loon-haunted shorelines, and mixed boreal forest. Spring and fall bring reduced rates, though attractions run weekends only. Summer is the peak — reserve well ahead.

Riverbend Campground

23 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Riverbend Campground in Leeds, ME, offers 23 RV sites and 2 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. The four categories are clear about both service and position: 30-amp water-and-electric transient sites, 30/50-amp water-and-electric transient sites, and waterfront versions of each. All carry water and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and a pavilion cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, boat docks, a boat ramp, and boat and kayak rentals support swimming, boating, paddling, paddle boats, paddle boarding, and fishing, with sport courts, basketball, horseshoes, walking trails, live music, and planned activities. Leeds sits at 1540 Route 106 in Androscoggin County, twenty miles west of Augusta, where the Dead River borders the campground before flowing into Androscoggin Lake — a river-to-lake connection that makes the water frontage unusually useful. A state park and golf are nearby. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Waterfront sites book first.

Stetson Shores Campground

6 RV Sites, 11 Tent Sites

Stetson Shores Campground in Stetson, ME, offers 6 RV sites and 11 tent sites, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 35 feet. Sites come in three categories — full-hookup, beach full-hookup, and beach water-and-electric — with full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric plus a fire pit and picnic table. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management, and the 35-foot maximum keeps this to smaller rigs. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and a dump station cover the essentials, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. A beach, a boat ramp, boat docks, kayak rentals, a pond, walking trails, sport courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, and a playground fill the grounds, with swimming, boating, paddling, fishing, hiking, birding, and planned activities. Stetson sits on 29 wooded acres on the shore of Pleasant Lake in Penobscot County, in the central Maine lake belt where glacially carved basins hold cold, clear, undeveloped water. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Beach full-hookup sites book first.

Point Sebago Resort

8 RV Sites

Point Sebago Resort in Casco, ME, offers 5 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 35 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV. Note the electrical: this resort runs 50-amp service, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter, and the 35-foot maximum keeps RVs to the smaller end. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a general store, a snack bar, on-site dining, golf cart rentals, and a dump station. The resort suggests bringing beach towels, beach chairs, a flashlight, and a jacket for cool nights — units have air conditioning but Maine evenings turn. Pets are welcome. The resort program is full-scale: a marina with boat docks, a boat ramp, boat rentals, a fishing pier, a beach, mini-golf, a clubhouse, pickleball, tennis, basketball, volleyball, bocce, shuffleboard, horseshoes, billiards, and planned activities, with golf next door. Casco sits on Sebago Lake, the largest lake in southern Maine at 46 square miles of glacier-carved water. Rates are on the booking page. Five RV sites at a resort this size means they book out for the whole summer very early.

Quarry Ledge Campground

28 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 24 Tent Sites

Quarry Ledge Campground in Mount Desert, ME, offers 28 RV sites, 4 cabins, and 24 tent sites, with 20 and 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in three categories — 30-amp back-in, 20/30-amp back-in, and 20-amp rustic — each carrying water and electric with a fire pit. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: service tops out at 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, portable toilets in the rustic area, and cabins cover the rest. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, boat docks, boat rentals, walking trails, and horseshoes support swimming, boating, paddling, paddle boarding, paddle boats, fishing, hiking, biking, and corn hole. Quarry Ledge sits on Somes Sound on Mount Desert Island — widely described as the only true fjord on the eastern seaboard, a glacially carved inlet that splits the island — with Acadia National Park all around it. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Acadia's summer season books out months ahead.

Sites come in three categories — back-in, premium back-in, and premium pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a dump station, and WiFi cover the essentials, and trailer rentals are available for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. Gold panning is the signature activity here — the Swift River runs past the campground at Coos Canyon, one of the best-known panning spots in New England, and guests work the gravel bars all season. A beach, walking trails, and river access fill out the rest, with swimming, fishing, paddling, hiking, biking, and birding, and off-road riding nearby. Byron sits in Oxford County in Maine's Western Lakes and Mountains region, about two hours inland from the coast. Rates for sites, the cabin, tent spots, and trailer rentals are on the booking page.

Spacious Skies Balsam Woods

115 RV Sites, 6 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Balsam Woods in Abbot, Maine, offers 115 RV sites, six cabins, and two tent sites in the Maine Highlands, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories at both amperages join an outdoor pool, beach, boat ramp, and jumping pillow. One hundred fifteen sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Seventy-five feet is generous for northern Maine. Six cabins and two tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a snack bar handle the practical side. All guests check in at the main office and sign the terms — e-signature in advance is encouraged. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a boat ramp, pond, and river supporting fishing, swimming, and whitewater rafting. A jumping pillow, recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, gem mining, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest. Stargazing and birding are exceptional this far north. Piscataquis County is the heart of Maine's wildest country — Moosehead Lake, Katahdin in Baxter State Park, and the Appalachian Trail's northern terminus are all within range. The season is short. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Sun Retreats Westward Shores

25 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 28 Cottages, 1 Lodge, 3 Park Models

Sun Retreats Westward Shores in Ossipee, New Hampshire, offers 25 full-hookup premium RV sites and 34 cabin, cottage, lodge, and park model units on Ossipee Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. A single premium category means every guest gets the same spec, with an indoor pool, water park, marina, and jumping pillow. Twenty-five back-in sites are premium throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. One consistent category and no guesswork. Thirty-four cabins, cottages, lodges, and park models make the lodging inventory larger than the RV side. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a snack bar handle the practical side. An indoor pool is the standout — genuinely valuable in New Hampshire, where the swimming season is short. A water park, outdoor pool, beach, marina, boat ramp, and boat docks sit alongside for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A jumping pillow, craft room, ball field, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, golf cart rentals, a playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a bar fill the rest, with skiing and hiking nearby. The northwest shore of Ossipee Lake sits in the transition between the Lakes Region's granite-and-pine country and the White Mountain foothills, with Lake Winnipesaukee and the Kancamagus close. Summer and foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

Moosehead Family Campground

24 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

Moosehead Family Campground in Greenville, ME, offers 24 RV sites and 8 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 20/30-amp and back-in 20/30/50-amp, each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, a library, on-site dining, and a playground cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. The water access is what sets the place apart: a marina, boat docks, fishing guides working from the property, plus a pond, creek frontage, walking trails, sport courts, tennis, and basketball, with boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, and birding. Golf is nearby. The campground sits at 312 Moosehead Lake Road on Route 15, one mile south of Moosehead Lake and the town of Greenville — Maine's largest lake, the largest moose population in the lower 48, and the wilderness canoe routes of the Katahdin-Moosehead region. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Maine's short summer means July and August book far ahead.

Beaver Dam Campground

44 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Beaver Dam Campground in Berwick, ME, offers 44 RV sites, 2 cabins, and 3 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet.

The waterfront sites are the ones to request. One arrival note worth heeding: the campground asks guests to arrive before dusk, because the sites are genuinely hard to navigate in the dark. Laundry, a general store, firewood, a dump station, a game room, and cabins cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, a pond with a designated swimming area, a beach, boat docks, a ball field, sport courts, horseshoes, a playground, gem panning, paddle boats, fishing, boating, kayaking, biking, and planned activities fill the grounds.
