Great park! Good location, pet friendly, clean facilites and helpful staff make this little oasis a must stay. We enjoyed our week at the campground. We plan to return. Keep up the good work.

My partner and I camped here in a tent for 6 weeks from August until October. We had a wonderful experience. The staff are very friendly and take great care of the campground. I noticed that they sweep each campsite/RV site after someone leaves to make sure it's pristine for the next guest! The showers are very clean and free (huge bonus!) and the water stays hot. The on-site laundry is convenient and the washers/dryers are large. The location is idyllic and in close proximity to Portland and Old Orchard Beach. Being an adult-only campsite, it was very relaxed and everyone was polite and considerate of others, especially during nighttime hours. I don't have a single complaint. We were so comfortable living here for such a long time and we would happily stay again!

First of all, this is a great central location close to much of the southern Maine Coast; drivable to Ogunquit, Kennybunkport, Saco, Old Orchard, Freeport, and Portland. A Maine Eastern Trail cycling/walking entrance is a short bike ride down the road. The Eastern Trail is still broken up into disconnected segments, but you can traverse regular roads to make the connections. There is a beautiful marsh area right down the road with a lovely walking path. The campground itself is decent, in a grove of giant lovely pine trees. But the desireability of the individual sites varies so carefully peruse the site map. The pull through sites in the middle are ok, but the exterior circle is much nicer. The front sites are brighter with nicer views than the back sites. In general the sites are small, but pretty comparable to most campgrounds these days. Most have power, water and sewer hookups. There are only a few 50amp sites, most are 30amp. All sites have a picnic tables and a fire pit. The bathhouse is clean. 2 showers in the men's and women's bathrooms. The cleaning crew gets a little grumpy if you are showering when they want to clean. There is a spot outside to wash dishes if you want and a decent washer/dryer room. Cost is $2/load. The woman in the office is very sweet and helpful. They lock the gate at night so be sure to get the codes.

It was nice and relaxing. Bathrooms outdated and clean. Camping sites are very small, leaving many people to be extremely nosey. If your a POC people's eyes are on you like your a criminal. When at the site we stayed mostly in the tent because of the looks. Overall quiet and peaceful except for the nights people would come in late 11pm set up there camp driving back and forth to bathrooms wakes up other campers that sleep in tents. Not a place for my partner and I to go back too. People running the office was super nice and helpful. Hospitality was on point.

We frequently stay at Wild Duck Campground as it is close to our family in Portland. Nice, clean, and mostly level, wooded spots. Bathrooms and laundry rooms are clean but in disrepair. The same two dryers have been broken since we stayed in 2024. The same toilet in the men’s room remains broken.

A Gem of a campground! We have stayed twice. It is a very quiet and clean place, in a forested area. Nice view of the nearby marsh. We love the convenience to Portland and Old Orchard Beach. Would have loved to kayak, but it was too cold and windy. You can launch a kayak from the campground.

We absolutely loved our weekend away at Wild duck campground. Sue was a delight at check in, so kind and helpful. The location is beautiful right on the marsh. It’s a short drive to Portland and Old Orchard Beach. If you are looking for quiet and relaxing, this is the place.

An adults only campground is probably one of the best things I’ve come across. It was so quiet and nice there, I miss it already. No screaming children is my idea of heaven. Beautiful location. Clean and nice bathroom, laundry service was great. If I ever make my way up to Scarborough Maine again, I am definitely staying again. Also Sue at the front desk was a delight.

Highly recommend Wild Duck if you are looking for a place to unwind from the norm. The place was so quiet on a Saturday night you could hear a pin drop. Very clean, sites are level, sand/gravel, hook ups are close to the camper so no need for 50 feet of water hose, bathrooms where clean, hot showers, nice staff, firewood delivery, and great atmosphere. One lane road coming and going so you do need to pay attention to make sure no one is trying to go your direction, or you will have to back up. Sites can be a little tight as i had a 32' travel trailer and did end up swinging my front end along another's site to make the turn but made it work. Again HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend and will definitely be back. I was in site 21 in front of the tent sites.

Love this place… friendly staff, clean and well kept sites and bathroom. A lot of the sites are very close together. I’d say that if you want a nice view, sites 19-33 are the best, overlooking the marshes. Our site looked over the forest, but it was also lovely. And QUIET. We were there in early June, which was not as busy there. But it was so peaceful. The campground is also nice and close to OOB, and about 20 min to Portland.

We had an awesome time at Wild Duck Campground. We rented a small travel trailer and hitched it to our truck. We stayed at one of the 30amp sites and had a blast. Our site looked out over the neighboring marsh - a beautiful view! We loved using the fire pit and the campground had plenty of firewood for purchase. Management was extremely responsive and even lent us an adaptor when we realized that we didn’t have the right type of plug for our outlet. Bathrooms were very clean. There was lots of space for our dogs too!

Campsites were very close together. I was expecting a peaceful weekend, but with the traffic noise, airplanes and trains that was not the case. The 10pm quiet hours are not enforced. We had very loud campers next to us. The office was closed almost the entire weekend so getting wood was not easy. On a positive side, bathrooms were very clean. Most likely will not return.

Highly recommend for a tranquil (child free) camping experience. The staff was amazing - Donna went out of her way to make us comfortable, and provided a variety of restaurant and attraction recommendations. The campground was clean and quiet, and the view form the peninsula overlooking a vast salt-marsh was stunning. It provides a home for egrets, owls, and falcons (to name a few the birds we saw or heard during our stay), and the sunrise view is amazing. The bathrooms were spotless and fresh smelling. They offer coin operated laundry and wifi (though this is best around the bathhouse). We will be booking again for next year.

I’ve stayed here twice since mid June. I stayed in tent site T11 on both visits. The lady at check in (Donna) was extremely helpful, friendly & knowledgeable. All the staff here are so courteous & make you feel at home. The location is absolutely perfect. It’s very secure & super peaceful day/night. The campground is very well maintained & the men’s facilities are perfect. Laundry facilities are also available. There is WiFi, but it’s tricky to get a signal in the tent area, so I just use my cellular data. The barrier at the entrance is closed at 1900, but upon check in you get the code for after hours access. To leave, it opens automatically when you approach. If your into biking, you can access the Eastern Trail a mile or so down Pine Point Road. The beach is less than 10 minutes. Portland is less than 20 minutes! I love this campground & I’m already planning my third visit for August!

Loved this campground. Well maintained, quiet and peaceful. Beautiful view of the salt marsh which my husband and I explored. They have a kayak/ canoe launch. Very pet friendly, doggies stations and trash cans everywhere, so convenient! Someday we will return but this trip was a 2+ week vacation for us from Michigan and loved it!!
