Sun Retreats Westward Shores

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

Sun Retreats Westward Shores in West Ossipee, New Hampshire, occupies the northwest shore of Ossipee Lake in Carroll County's Lakes Region foothills — a waterfront camp-resort in the transition zone between the granite-and-pine lake country of the New Hampshire Lakes Region and the White Mountain foothills of the Mount Washington Valley, giving guests a dual-access summer base that combines the lake swimming, boating, and fishing of Ossipee Lake with the hiking, outlet shopping, scenic railroad rides, and alpine attractions of the North Conway and Conway corridor minutes to the north. The Sun Retreats brand's investment in consistent amenity quality and operational hospitality gives Westward Shores the resort character that Ossipee Lake's natural setting deserves. Lakefront and lake-view accommodations for RV sites, cottage rentals, and vacation home-style lodging give the resort the accommodation diversity to serve families across different group sizes and equipment configurations. The direct Ossipee Lake access — with swimming, boating, and fishing available from the property's waterfront — delivers the lake summer camp experience that New Hampshire's Lakes Region and its glacially carved lake system have provided to summer visitors since the Victorian era. The resort's community programming, social activities, and family-oriented atmosphere reflect Sun Retreats' approach to building a genuine seasonal community rather than simply providing overnight parking. Pets are welcome. Ossipee Lake's approximately 3,000 acres of cold, clear New Hampshire water support warmwater and coldwater fishery species across a lake whose maximum depth exceeds 100 feet in its northern basin — largemouth and smallmouth bass, pickerel, yellow perch, and white perch sustain the recreational fishing that lake country summer residents build their morning routines around. The lake's western shore access from Westward Shores gives guests the aquatic base for motorized boating, sailing, canoeing, and kayaking across a lake large enough to provide genuine open-water conditions while remaining contained enough for family boating safety. The Mount Washington Valley, accessible in minutes from the resort, is New Hampshire's most comprehensively developed outdoor recreation and tourism corridor — North Conway's outlet shopping district provides the commercial anchor that makes the valley a year-round destination regardless of weather, while the White Mountain National Forest hiking trail network, Cathedral Ledge and Whitehorse Ledge's world-class rock climbing, the Swift River's swimming holes in the White Mountain National Forest, and the Conway Scenic Railroad's excursion trains through Crawford Notch deliver the White Mountain experience that New England outdoor enthusiasts pursue year-round. Sun Retreats Westward Shores operates through New Hampshire's camping season from late May through Columbus Day weekend, with the summer weeks from Fourth of July through Labor Day representing the most intensely booked period and the August foliage transition beginning the color season that extends through the September and early October window of peak leaf color in Carroll County's mixed hardwood and conifer forest. Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake, is 20 minutes south of Ossipee and provides the Weirs Beach entertainment district, the M/S Mount Washington excursion boat, and the Water Country waterpark as day-trip extensions of the Lakes Region experience. Reserve accommodations several months ahead for summer holiday weekends and the prime August lake season when Ossipee Lake area properties book from the greater Boston, Manchester, and coastal New England markets.

Point Sebago Resort

8 RV Sites

Sebago Lake is the largest lake in southern Maine — a 46-square-mile body of glacier-carved water that supplies Portland's drinking supply and draws summer visitors from across New England with its clarity, its sandy beaches, and the particular quality of Maine light on open water in July and August. Point Sebago Resort commands a full mile of sandy beachfront on the lake's north shore, combining that natural foundation with an 18-hole championship golf course, a full marina, and multi-generational family programming that brings guests back across many summers and makes it Maine's premier lakefront camping destination. Spacious RV sites with full hookups ring the property with ADA-accessible facilities and direct beach access alongside modern camping conveniences. The marina provides watercraft rentals for fishing, sailing, kayaking, and lake exploration, and nightly family entertainment, snack and tiki bars, adult happy hour, and live music through the season create a social calendar rarely short of activity. Vacation cottage rentals and glamping options make Point Sebago equally appealing for guests without their own RV, and the all-ages atmosphere — genuinely welcoming from toddlers through grandparents — reflects the multi-generational nature of the resort's repeat-visitor base. Pets are welcome. Sebago Lake's setting is undeniably beautiful in a way that photographs struggle to capture: clear, cold water that provides drinking-quality swimming conditions, surrounding pine forests and hardwood hills, and the distinctive quality of Maine's summer light that makes the lake feel like its own separate world from the rest of New England. The mile of sandy beach gives Point Sebago a resort character that goes well beyond typical campground expectations, and the 18-hole golf course on the property adds a dimension that lake campgrounds rarely provide. Sebago Lake State Park, just one mile away, extends the outdoor recreation beyond the resort's boundaries with hiking, picnicking, and additional swimming areas along the lake's eastern shore. Range Ponds State Park provides more sandy beach access and pristine picnic areas within easy driving distance. Portland, Maine — the culinary and cultural hub of northern New England — is less than an hour south, with the Old Port neighborhood's acclaimed restaurants, craft breweries, lobster shacks, and art galleries making it a highly recommended day trip during any Point Sebago stay. Point Sebago Resort operates from May through October, with July and August filling well in advance each year. Waterfront RV sites and cottage rentals are the first to book each season, so securing a reservation early is essential for any peak-season visit. A September stay at Point Sebago that combines clear-water lake swimming with a Portland lobster dinner and early fall foliage color on the surrounding Maine hillsides represents one of New England's most satisfying end-of-summer itineraries. The shoulder months of June and September offer the same beautiful lake and full amenity access with fewer crowds and more comfortable temperatures for golf, hiking, and paddling on the water — conditions that returning guests often rank as the most enjoyable of the entire season.

Moosehead Family Campground

24 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

At 312 Moosehead Lake Road on Route 15 in Greenville, Maine—one mile south of Moosehead Lake and the town of Greenville in Somerset County in the Katahdin-Moosehead Lake Region where Maine's largest lake, the largest moose population in the lower 48 states, and the wilderness canoe routes through the Moose River watershed create the specific north Maine woods character that no other region south of the Canadian border fully replicates—Moosehead Family Campground provides water and electric RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service in pull-through configurations accommodating any rig length, tent sites, a camp store, dump station, mobile sewer pump service, and the Saturday night live music pavilion programming that distinguishes this family campground's community character from the bare-bones tent-only outfitter camps that the north Maine woods otherwise supports. The moose viewing, the Steamboat Katahdin lake cruise, and the Saturday night band programming are the three experiential anchors that most distinctively define a Moosehead Family Campground stay. Thirty-five total sites include 26 RV and trailer sites with water and 30 and 50-amp electric hookups on large, open, and treed positions with pull-through access accommodating any length or size of rig, and 8 tent sites for the lightweight camping guest. Every site includes a picnic table and fire ring. A dump station and mobile sewer pump truck serve the black-water disposal need for both in-site hookup guests and self-contained dry campers passing through. A camp store stocked with ice, firewood, ice cream, beverages, and novelty items handles the daily supply needs. Clean bathhouses with free hot showers for registered guests serve the shared hygiene infrastructure. WiFi is complimentary throughout. Saturday nights feature free music at the pavilion—live bands or DJs—providing the community social anchor that a campground in Maine's most remote resort town uses to build the return-visitor culture that the north woods guest demographic sustains year over year. Moosehead Lake—accessible one mile north from the campground at the Greenville launch and public shore points—is the largest lake in New England east of the Great Lakes at 117 square miles, surrounded by wilderness that Maine's timber management and land trust community has preserved in largely unbuilt state since the mid-19th century when steamboats serviced the lake's logging camps. The Steamboat Katahdin—a restored coal-fired steamboat in Greenville—offers narrated lake cruises that provide the Moosehead Lake horizon experience at the scale the lake's size demands. The lake's fishing calendar includes landlocked salmon, brook trout, lake trout, and smallmouth bass across the spring ice-out, summer deep-water, and fall spawn seasons. Moose viewing in the Greenville area—along the lake's boggy shallows at dawn and dusk, along the forest roads of the Moosehead Lake Region, and in the roadside ponds that the spruce-fir forest maintains at the lake's elevation—is among the most consistently reliable large-mammal wildlife viewing in the continental United States. The northern Maine woods moose density creates the wildlife encounter that draws photographers and nature travelers to Greenville. Baxter State Park and Katahdin's summit—50 miles east—provide the Appalachian Trail terminus and Maine's highest peak within a two-hour drive of the campground. Moosehead Family Campground is open seasonally through the north Maine summer camping calendar. Ice-out on Moosehead Lake—typically late April to mid-May—marks the opening of the fishing season, the canoe routes, and the campground's operational calendar. The July and August peak fills sites with the north woods experience-seeking visitors who come for the moose, the lake, and the specific remoteness that Route 15 north of Greenville delivers by the mile. Reserve the pull-through site, ask the staff for the best moose-viewing roads, and let the Moosehead Lake Region earn the north Maine woods reputation that every returning guest confirms is exactly what they remembered.
