Situated in the scenic seaside town of Scarborough, the resort is perfectly positioned near the famous Pine Point Beach. The surrounding landscape features lush salt marshes and coastal views that define the southern Maine experience.

Visitors can explore the vibrant city of Portland to experience its food scene and the iconic Portland Head Light. For nature enthusiasts, the Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center offers miles of kayaking and birdwatching. Local seafood shacks are abundant in the area, offering fresh Maine lobster and clams to complete your journey.

"All amenities may not be available" apparently gives this campground the right to shut down various amenities, like food during the week, at their discretion. When I expressed disappointment that the café is closed during the week (9/29-10/1) I was told it would be too expensive to open for so few customers and that it said on the website that some amenities may not be available. Call me crazy, but food is not an amenity and this should be stated CLEARLY on the website when booking. I would have stayed somewhere closer to restaurants or packed food to cook. I chose this campground for the amenities it cited on the website. Also, the workers regularly drive their golf carts the wrong way on the one-way roads. Also, showers are camp-y, not resort-y. Do better.

The best campground in Maine! We’ve stayed here a dozen times over the years and absolutely loved every visit. The grounds are spotless, and the amenities are incredible—clean heated outdoor pools, relaxing hot tubs, live entertainment, and even a bar. Some people complain about the price, but honestly, it’s more than fair for the quality you get. This is a top-notch, family-owned campground, and you can’t put a price on the memories we’ve made here. Thank you, Bayley’s, for all the amazing years—we can’t wait to book our next stay!

Booked this last minute to check out Old Orchard Beach. Largest campground I’ve ever stayed at. Shuttle service was a nice perk as Old Orchard Beach parking is a bit of a nightmare and expensive. The grill was nice and had healthy options. Liked the kayak launch and was a fun atmosphere. Only complaint were showers- didn’t provide enough drainage or space to put things. Was able to get in a good walk/excercise with size of campground.

We had a great 11 days camping with friends. Bayley's is a very nice clean resort but it could use a little make over on the mini golf, it's old and out dated. It would be nice if they had a shuttle that drove around and picked you up to bring you to the front pool or back to your campsite instead of having to rent a golf cart that there's not enough of.

Wow wow wow!!! Beautiful camp ground! So clean and well maintained with 4 huge pools, hot tubs, play ground, basketball court, mini grocery store, fast food, pond where you can fish! This camp ground is just beautiful and so close to the ocean and offers a free shuttle service that takes you the beach (Old Orchard) and other beach. Each camp has a nice picnic table and a fire pit. Highly recommend!

We just had another wonderful weekend at Bayley’s Camping Resort. Our site was large, clean and well maintained. We were going to celebrate my husband’s birthday and they made it so easy to have our family check in as visitors for the day. They were careful to keep the secret from him as we checked in. Also we had other family members camping and they took such good care of them too. The staff is amazing, friendly and super helpful. We love camping there!

We make our way from upstate NY at least 4 times a year. The resort offers so much to do and the staff is amazing! Sarah the office manager is the best! We don’t know who loves Bayley’s more. Us, our kids, or our dogs! We tell everyone we know about the resort!

We have been to Bayley's three times. Last two trips we rented a camper that was pet friendllying. Two years ago we rented a very nice camper. This year in the same spot they had a Jayco product. Immediately on entering it was noted to have a musty odor. The freezer compartment of the refrigerator had at least 3 inches of frost build up all around. The bathroom shower was huge but no room to even turn around in BR. My son also rented a camper but had two slides, which should be larger, but his shower was tiny as was the site it was on. Very crowded. Staff was very friendly and it is a great campground too.

This is my favorite campground by a mile! The people here are so friendly and accommodating, the campground facilities are clean and well kept, the kids activities are top notch, and the free trolly to Old Orchard Beach and Pine Point Beach is so convenient and the drivers are AMAZING. The nightly entertainment is also outstanding, especially the hypnotist. There are three nice pools, several playgrounds, two stores, a mini golf course, several ponds for fishing, and a really great restaurant with a huge selection of foods and decent prices. There’s also an adult pool with its own bar and restaurant that’s also very good! They serve a yummy brunch too. I really can’t say enough about Bayley’s. We travel 9.5 hours to come here each year and when we arrive, it simply feels like home. Old Orchard Beach is beautiful and is just a 5 minute trolly ride away. Just come! And don’t forget to bring your boogie boards!!

Place was pretty great campsites were close but provided enough space that you felt that it was your own space. 4 pools 3 cool fishing ponds. The free trolley to the beaches was a huge benefit. It was quiet and relaxing. Staff were polite and over bearing they let you enjoy yourself as long as you were not loud and impeding on other campers. We have already booked for next year. The on complaint I have is that the mini golf course is not really maintained any more. It should be free to play but it cost my family of 4 $24. Don't spend your money on it. Bayleys please change this to a free activity.
