So many positives for this resort… Beautiful location, the staff is wonderful, kind, and friendly, events every weekend, clean facilities, and so much more. Look forward to returning in the future. The only thing that surprised us was the cost for an additional vehicle. When we originally make our reservation we were never told there was an extra cost for an additional vehicle, even though I told them that we have two. $18 a night was hard to justify, since we were working and a lot of times, our secondary vehicle would get there at 9 PM and be gone by seven or eight the next morning. Now we know and can work it into the budget however, I would definitely warn people if they had not been there before.

This was our second time staying at Powder Horn Family Camping Resort and it was great. We took our grandkids, and they had the time of their little lives. So much to do with the kids including kiddie pool. The sites we have stayed at have been clean and very well kept. I will definitely be making reservations for next year. We were also accompanied by 2 other camping families that had their own sites, and they agree with coming back as well. Such a great time.

What We Loved: Prime Location: Being just a short drive or trolley ride from Old Orchard Beach and The Pier made beach trips incredibly convenient. Immaculate Facilities: The restrooms and showers were spotless, and the entire campground was well-maintained, reflecting a high standard of care. Awesome Pool Area: The pools and hot tubs were a hit with our family, offering a refreshing escape and fun for all ages. Seamless Check-In: The check-in process was quick and efficient, allowing us to start our vacation without any hassle. Family-Friendly Amenities: From the 18-hole mini-golf course to the playgrounds and arcade, there was no shortage of activities to keep everyone entertained. Overall, Powder Horn offers a perfect blend of relaxation and recreation in a beautiful setting. It's an ideal spot for families looking to create lasting memories. Highly recommend!

Just got home from a 5 night stay at site 17P. As a first time camping here we were not sure of what to expect. Well it beat all of our expectations, large sites, quiet campground even with all the families with children. Bathrooms & showers were impeccably clean. The grounds were also nice, lots of pools that were heated, nice store with everything you need plus a decent sized game room. next year I will do 10 days as it is close to everything and the trolly stops right in front of the gate to take you to town & back.

We loved our time at Powder Horn Campground. We traveled here with 5 other families (15 kids) between all the families. The kids had the best time. The staff was amazing and so kind and the Campground was so clean. We will definitely be back. We really appreciate how kind everyone was. We're been to plenty of campgrounds with grumpy staff members which can make your time not as enjoyable. I highly recommend booking a trip here.
