Megunticook Campground by-the-Sea

We truly enjoy our summer stays here! Friendly staff and amenities are nice! Fun place to spend summer with our grandkids, and so close to many things to do! Central location on the Mid-​Coast makes for exploring Maine very easy! Clean and large open play areas. Pool is clean and nice size. Enjoy a walk to the ocean side for great views!

Perhaps the worst customer service for a campground we have encountered anywhere. It appears that this campground is under construction. The sites are wooded and very tight. Most are not very level and include tree roots and stumps. No attention to the size of your rig. Not suitable for large RVs. 2 stars is for location only

We went here again, this time with friends, and it was still great! And the weather was beautiful this time!

My wife and I were initially disappointed with the lack of customer service at the Megunticook Campground. We spent a great deal of time calling and leaving messages to the office during business hours, but not one ever picked up the phone.
We were forced to book online since no one was answering (which came with a $ 5 online booking fee). Having answered the phones or provided the information on their website, we would have known that the cabin I booked did not come with sheets, pillows or a refrigerator. Lucky, we expected the worst and packed those things anyway (minus the fridge).
I’m not sure if I would book the cabin again. The bulk of the cabins are located near the entrance of the campsite and are within earshot of the road next door. Additionally, these cabins are right on top of each other and provide next to no privacy. The cabin that we rented was at the back of the grounds and was along the West Penobscot Bay with two other cabins. This cabin was in a beautiful well wooded area and came with a fire ring, a picnic bench and a charcoal grill. Fortunately for us, no one had rented out the other two cabins and we had the area to ourselves. If however, those cabins would have been occupied, I can see our vacation having turned out much differently. Similar to the cabins at the front of the site, the ones in the back are virtually on top of each other.
The grounds themselves were very well maintained and the bathrooms were equally pristine. The pool also looked immaculate. Our cabin was well sized and had a single bunked bed and a double bed. The cabins came equipped with electricity and a water tap outside. Make sure to pack chairs and a table, our cabin did not have either of these things (though I think other cabins may have had a chair).
The grounds are within short driving distance of both Rockland and Camden and serves as a nice middle ground for visiting both. The area that is on the bay is absolutely gorgeous and is furnished with picnic benches and chairs. My wife and I ended every day here with a bottle of wine.
If you are looking to spend some time in the area visiting the numerous sites I recommend this campground for the value and cleanliness, however with it being so small, solitude is something that you may not find.

Megunticook is Beautiful!
The campsite is clean. The waterfront view is gorgeous with a cute BBQ seating area nearby. The Pool is clean and goes fairly deep, very refreshing! There is a cute sandpit for kids. The bathrooms/​showers are spotless. Certain campsites are larger than others (for the same price), you can call and ask about the sq ft.
The BEST part is you can set-​up camp and leave it! No one will steal anything! So awesome! TOTALLY different than camping with the Bears at the Adirondacks, but that’s fun as well. Love this place! Hope there’s one like this closer to NYC.
MAJOR WARNING: Do NOT give them your phone #, you will be put on this call list and they will call you (automated) over and over and leave 5 min long messages on your voicemail. You cannot get off this list. You can’t call the # back (because its an automated call) and when you call Megunticook they say they don’t know anything about the calls.
