Old Orchard Beach Campground

Old Orchard Beach is a fun, family-oriented campground located in the fun little beach town of Old Orchard Beach. Old Orchard is known for their amusement park, arcade, pier, fun downtown, and expansive beach with seven miles of room to walk. Here you can stroll along the streets listening to the melodic sounds of an arcade, buy an airbrushed t-shirt and eat pier fries and fried dough. And the best thing is there is a trolley that takes you from the campground to the beach so you don’t have to deal with parking. 

When the summer season is in full swing, there is lots to do in the campground and at the nearby Atlantic Ocean beach. There are lots of amenities in the campground like a basketball court, Wiffle ball field, horseshoes, badminton, playgrounds, arcade, swimming pools and hot tub, group bonfire, and dog park. The campground is quite large and divided into a variety of sections, some areas are all seasonal campers and others are for transients. The campground offers RV sites, cabin rentals, park model sites, and simple tent sites. We liked the sections in the back (Bear Brook and Black Forest) which are set away from the entrance and the majority of activities. We visited in the off-season but can only image the park gets pretty busy especially in the front section where the swimming pool, arcade, camp store, and other activities are located. The campground is gated which limits who can come into the park. If you want to have guests, plan on shelling out a bit of cash as it is $8/day for kids and $10 for adults and$12 for overnight guests. 

Our gravel site was perfectly level with no potholes and the roads leading to our site were easy to navigate in our 45’ motorhome. The patio was gravel and there was some grass between campsites. Our picnic table was clean and not made of old rotten wood with sagging benches. There was not much shade at our site which was fine with us because it was October when we visited and wanted the sun. We were able to pick up wifi at our site because we were close to a tower. Our Verizon phone and hotspot worked great as did the parks cable television. The campground is just one mile from Old Orchard Beach and close to Route 1 which is the main corridor leading up and down the Maine coast. 

The nearby town of Biddeford has some great restaurants(Palace Dinner, Run of the Mill Public House and Brewery, and Dunston Tab and Table). While the campground is large enough for a good long walk, we prefer to walk the wooded trails at Ferry Beach State Park. If you are looking for something for kids to do there is Funtown Splashtown which is a large water and amusement park and you can get discount tickets at the campgrounds camp store

We arrived here off season Oct. 18th. Easy access to area stores, eats. Very accommodating. Clean showers, laundry, arcade.

VERY sparse trees, paved roads though

Overall a super nice campground except for our loud and rowdy neighbors playing really terrible honky tonk too loud past 10pm but security handled it, thankfully. A little more on the pricier side but the location is why. Very close to all the touristy things.

This is a rockstar of a campsite.  They have everything you need, minus an ATM.  There is a general store with the normal gear.  They have a pool and hot tub.  There is a small, but very well-kept dog park.  On top of all that there is pinball, Pac-Man, and pool table!  But, if you want to stick with the normal stuff, they also have basketball courts, badminton courts, horseshoes, and tons more.

There is a trolly that will take you to the city for $2, but if you have a bicycle it is a quick 15-minute ride to the beach.  

The city itself is super fun with lots of rides, good food, and you can even learn how to surf!

I really enjoyed this campground, great people working there, very nice staff. The grounds are well maintained and bathrooms are clean. We stayed in the more wooded area of the campground but the sites were still pretty wide open! Really nice clean pool and hot tub!

We have stayed here often as we have family and friends in the area. A very well laid out campground, sites are roomy and well kept. Facilities are always clean. Dog and kid friendly.

We stayed here 3 nights. Wonderful showers and very accommodating staff. There is a fantastic Mexican restaurant we ate at twice, less than a mile away. The beach is close but not close enough to walk too. We were in an rv and had to unhook to go anywhere. WiFi worked great here.

we had a great stay here with 7yo boy and two dogs. the dog fee was steep 25/pup but the complex is very well put together, maintained, and staffed. beautiful area, great mix of people, dog friendly

lots to do in this area. a great beach and huge carnival area near the pier (a lot bigger than I expected and I’ve been to the Santa Monica pier). cute beach shops and a great atmosphere. I personally prefer more wooded and outback camping but this was very clean and a nice mix up.

Recent renovation and focus on the facilities have yielded excellent results. We have been three times now and will go many times again. Pull-thru and back in RV sites are very roomy and well laid out.
