Best RV Parks In Maine

‍Maine is a beautiful state, so it’s no wonder you want to visit. Since they are RV friendly, there are many great RV parks in Maine to choose from.

Whether you like the forest or the ocean, Maine RV parks have whatever you are looking for. For a resort experience, you can visit Point Sebago Resort. For something a little quieter, you can check out Libby’s Oceanside Camp. For the best in forest recreation, head on out to Moose Creek RV Resort.

My husband and I don’t get to travel very often, so when we were planning our trip to Maine, we knew we had to make it count. Here are the 20 best RV parks in Maine. I will let you know their amenities and some pros and cons.

‍Camping Season in Maine

Before you plan your RV camping trip to Maine, it is important to know that Maine campgrounds are open for a season. Due to the harsh winters, the tourist season is a short one.

Most campgrounds are open from May to September. Some are open longer to include the changing of the leaves. Greenlaw’s RV Park and Campground have the longest season I have found lasting from April to November.

Many of the state parks stay open all year round, but for winter camping, you have to call the park and make arrangements by phone. Summer camping in the state parks is handled online on the website.
