Okay, so I've never even heard of this place before the summer of 2025, and if you don't know about this place, it's definitely worth the trip. I stayed in one of their cozy camping cabins with my sister, her partner and my nephew during the week of August 10th, and although we were only there until Wednesday of that week, it was a nice relaxing three days (if you count the day we arrived at the campground). I also love the trolley service that takes you to the pier and back for two dollars, which saves a lot of walking if you're not familiar with the area. Would I camp here again? The answer is YES, especially if I get to go old school with a pop-up camper. Or camp out in a tent. Either way, I hope I get to come back again and explore more of the campground.

After driving 11 hours, we arrived 9:10 and the office was closed, but a man working nearby offered to show us our campsite. There was a kids movie going on and the streets were crowded. We were lucky he was there as everything is so packed in, we would have had a difficult time finding it by ourselves. We got set up and I went to take a shower. 2 minutes in, there was no hot water. Not warm water, there was no warmth to the water - no difference between all hot and all cold on the spigot. I finished showering as quickly as I could, very disappointed. We got up in the morning and left at 11. This campsite was almost $100. And no hot water for $100 is too much.

We stayed at this campground for 4 days and had a great experience! The place was super clean—we saw the crew passing through day and night to keep everything tidy. There was a really good energy throughout the campground, and it felt safe and welcoming. It’s located about 800m from the beach, which made it super convenient, and there was lots to do nearby. The staff were all friendly and helpful, which added to the positive vibe. The only small downside is that the campsites themselves were a bit small, but honestly, it didn’t bother us too much because everything else was so well maintained. Would definitely go back!

This was my first time ever staying at one of these type of facilities and it was not a disappointment. The overall quality and the amenities offered were far more superior than any hotel. We stayed in a what would be considered a tiny home. It was comfortable and it offered just enough amenities.. the overall campground was very spacious. Lotta people with campers pop-ups tents, good size swimming pool, good size hot tub little splash pad for the Littles. every evening, different events and throughout the day different things are offered for guests. This particular location was very close walkable to the grocery store. Next time I go on vacation I have to get away for a weekend. I will be looking to stay at potentially one of these..

This was our first time at Sun out doors old orchard beach. We rented the two bedroom cottage there were 4 Adults. 1) the master bedroom had broken blinds. The only lights in both bedrooms are recessed lights so if you want to read a book at night with out keeping you partner up not possible. We could have used hangers. The bed was very squeaky and the pillows were awful luckily we brought are own. 2) the second bedroom has no fan no air conditioning.some plugs did not work. Very hot at night! (door closed or open) 3) The kitchen had dishes, cups, glasses basic kitchen staples. We had only one bowl (huge) the grill tools were broken and one of the outlets in living area did not work. It could use a cookie sheet. 4)On cleaning mostly good but floor needed a washing and there should be a floor mat inside the door coming in. 5) we loved the porch with fire place and the camp ground is beautiful. We were there the last week in May 2025. Not at the peak season comfort areas were clean. 6) over all we had an good experience. Very close to grocery store, laundry mat on site. Close to Old Orchard beach walkable. The web site would be helpful if they would put details on what is available for kitchen supplies. A check list when you arrive to make sure you have everything. You need to bring sheets, pillow cases, light blanket for bed, towels, washcloths, dish towels, garbage bags hangers. They do provide paper towel and dish detergent. We were happy we brought our own pillows but they do provide them.

We’ve stayed at this campground several times in the past and always had a great time, but this experience has completely changed our view. I received a voicemail saying my payment would be credited for another year, with no mention that I needed to call or take any further steps. When I finally called to use the credit, I was told it was no longer valid because I “never called.” That’s not what the message said, and it feels like a convenient excuse to avoid honoring the credit. Especially at these prices, I expect better communication and integrity. Sadly, this does it for us—we won’t be coming back.

Been coming here for years great campground, great location. The bathrooms were always clean, quiet at night and you can walk right down to old Orchard Beach. Staff was friendly. It got taken over by Sun outdoors. They seem to have put a lot of money in it with the new rental cabins. Haven’t been there in a few years. I would say it’s a great choice if you want to enjoy just parking your car and walking to everything.

Campground was a noisy party place , quiet time at 11 was not respected and no patrols at night to address the loud partying. We were overcharged for July 4th weekend even though we booked in April. I wouldn’t take my children there. The smell of weed was definitely an all day/night concern, especially during breakfast at 8 in the morning. Again , not enforced. Bathrooms were dirty and disgusting. We complained about the loud music at 2am our last night there and no response. Poorly run and only out for money. I would not recommend this place.

Some campsites are a little tight. Premium sites have more room for campers that are 30+ feet. We went to check our first choice site for reservation made for next month and found it smaller than we'd like so we asked to change site and office was very accommodating! We were able to change to premium site for same week we reserved in August. Happy we checked it out ahead of time! Park looked clean and has nice recreation area including large outdoor pool and a small dog park. Looking forward to staying there next month.

We stayed here 3 nights at site 621 in our 39 ft RV. The site was very large, level and with PLENTY of room. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The campground itself was very clean and spacious. We really like this place for its close proximity to town, it was only a 15 minute walk to the beach. There is also a trolley ($2) that stops at the front.

We came here from NH for a quick night to getaway to the ocean. What a wonderful place! Friendly staff to greet us with lots of information about the trolley and amenities, the cleanest bathroom/shower house and perfect spot for our tent. Gorgeous sunrise to greet you in the morning. Definitely coming back!
