Old Orchard Beach Campground in de Verenigde Staten

We booked a spot at this campsite over the phone for a late autumn getaway. The staff at the office were pleasant and accommodating. Our stay was at the Black Forest area, which had ample space between spots, a flat terrain, and well-maintained amenities. Wi-Fi and mobile signal were reliable. As it was the final week of October, the place was tranquil, save for the occasional sound of the Downeaster Amtrak train horn. The site included a fire pit and table, and was welcoming to electric bikes. Although we didn't use the bathrooms, they appeared sanitary and functional. As it was late October, it was unsurprising that the pool and hot tub were closed. Snow is not a rare sight during this period. We cycled around the entire campsite and found it to be well-kept and spotless. We'll definitely revisit and bring friends along for another peaceful autumn excursion.

While exploring New England this fall we found it difficult to find RV parks open past Columbus Day. Luckily we stumbled upon this one. Not only is it open until November 1st, but it’s huge, perfectly manicured, and had the nicest bathrooms so far in our tour of New England. Only 30 minutes away from Portland, ME. Would highly recommend! Good Sam Discount Accepted. Verizon & ATT both had 2 bars LTE.

We stayed in site 102 in the grove section. There are two sites here beside each other. We had the woods on one side and the back. The WiFi extender was beside our site so was able to stream at 5 mgbs which was plenty to watch what we wanted. Did not even try cable. Hook ups perfect location. Staff friendly. They gave us directions to a short cut through the property to get on the Eastern Trail, a 30 mile greenway. We rode in to Portland on our bikes. The marsh part of the ride was unique and filled with bird watchers. Also gave us a good recommendation for local seafood “Ken’s”. Was about 1/2 price to others and really good clams and lobster. The resort is huge and does have permanent trailers but all were nice and well kept. Easy to book online.

I’ll be honest … this is not the type of campground we usually frequent. We needed a place to hide during Labor Day, and they had an opening. The staff in the office is not very friendly – almost rude even. They don’t give you any information other than the standard map of the campground. No information on the trolley even though it stops right at the campground. Now the young men who worked the gate were very friendly so kudos. Interior roads are okay but can be tight when people park their cars on the side of the road. There are several different areas. Tall Pines is only seasonal. The other areas are a mixed bag of seasonals and transient. Bear Brook and Black Forest have more trees. A few sites may have satellite access but most will not. These are actually the nicest sites in my opinion. We were in the Grove section near the front. It is more open so satellite is possible in most sites. There is decent spacing between sites but no privacy. Our site was a short back in site with gravel and grass. We had to back the motorhome all the way up to the fence and still had to park the car sideways. They have cable but you had to use a box provided when we were there. WII FI in the Grove was terrible. It would work for a few minutes then go on the blink. We gave up and used our hot spots (Verizon was 4g 2 bars). It really irks me to pay $73 a night, and the internet doesn’t work. Road noise (especially motorcycles) can be heard throughout the park pretty much all day and night. It is noisier in the Grove section as it is right by the highway, and the trolley stops there. The store has some basic supplies but is a major rip off. They wanted $4.50 for a quart of half and half. On the plus side, the campground has lots of entertainment – wiffle ball court (didn’t know there was such a thing), corn hole, swimming pool, pool tables, and a basketball court. The campground is convenient to the beaches, Portland and Kennebunkport. IMHO it is nowhere near worth the price.
