Campgrounds near Portland, Maine
Portland sits on Casco Bay in southern Maine, and most private RV parks that serve the city are clustered a short drive south in Scarborough and Old Orchard Beach. Wassamki Springs is the closest campground to Portland, conveniently located near Portland's Old Port and Casco Bay, and a short drive to Old Orchard Beach and area amusement parks. Bayley's Camping Resort and Sun Outdoors Old Orchard Beach Downtown put RV travelers within reach of Pine Point and Old Orchard's sand beaches, while Powder Horn Family Camping Resort and Wild Duck Adult Campground and RV Park round out the options in the same coastal corridor.
The area mixes lake and ocean camping. Wassamki Springs Campground is located on a private lake with a one mile sandy beach, enjoy swimming, boating and fishing. Bayleys' Camping Resort is located only three quarters of a mile from the ocean beaches of Pine Point, Maine and their Double Decker Bus makes round trips, to and from the campground, all day long.
For a public-land option inland, Sebago Lake State Park is the nearest state campground, roughly an hour northwest of Portland, and it books through the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands reservation system.
Things to do near Portland
Portland's Old Port anchors the trip, with the working waterfront, ferries to the Casco Bay islands, and Portland Head Light in nearby Cape Elizabeth.

The Portland-area private season is short. Wassamki Springs is open May 1st through October 15th, and Bayley's Camping Resort is open for the season May 1st through October 18th. Most surrounding parks follow a similar May-to-mid-October window, so winter RV camping directly around Portland is essentially unavailable and travelers plan for the shoulder or peak season instead.
Summer is the busiest stretch. Advance reservations are suggested for peak periods from mid-June to early September, and holiday weekends often carry minimum-stay rules. At Bayley's, spring and fall seasons do not have nightly minimums unless it is Memorial Day or Labor Day weekend, which require three nights or more, or Father's Day weekend, which requires two nights or more.
Shoulder-season stays in May, early June, and after Labor Day are easier to book but come with reduced amenities. After Labor Day some amenities begin to close at Bayley's, though the campground remains open for a quieter stay. Fall foliage typically peaks inland in early to mid-October, right at the tail of the camping season.

Easy experience! Josh was so great and helped my little family have an awesome time on our camping trip. The camper was already delivered and set up before we got there, and it was super clean! Communicating with Josh was great. He responded within minutes anytime I had a question. We can’t thank him enough for making our experience seamless. We look forward to booking with him again! 😊

Overall I enjoyed renting out this van. It offered a comfortable north-south bed orientation for two people, plenty of bed room. The heating system worked well and the van conversion was great too.

We had a great experience with Jeff's van. When he says that you can venture into places other campers and vans can only dream of he isn't kidding. We used the van for a video production project in the North Maine Woods and traveled down logging roads and offshoots with no problem. There was plenty of power, USB and outlets for us to charge batteries, phones and watches which was critical. Pickup was a breeze. The van is very well equipped and stocked. I can tell you from personal experience that the mattress for the lower sleeping area is surprisingly comfortable. We didn't want for anything during our stay!

How to book near Portland
Private parks around Portland book directly. Wassamki Springs takes reservations for 2026 or 2027 instantly through Campspot via the Book Now or Reservations tab on its website, or by calling the office, and Bayley's, Powder Horn, Sun Outdoors, and Wild Duck each handle bookings through their own sites. Deposits and cancellation windows vary by park, so confirm the policy before locking dates.
For the nearest state-park option, Sebago Lake State Park uses the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands system at CampWithMe.com. Reservations open for Sebago Lake State Park and Lily Bay State Park in early February, with all other Maine state park family campgrounds opening a few days later. Camping is limited to a cumulative total of 14 nights at any particular campground. Beginning in mid-September, all campsites are first-come, first-served, and camping continues through mid-October at most parks, though calling to verify closing dates is recommended.
What to expect in Portland
Expect suburban and coastal RV parks rather than remote wilderness. Sites at the larger resorts are generally level with full or partial hookups, and big rigs are accommodated. Wassamki Springs site choices include electric (30/50 amp), water and sewer hook-ups, with WiFi and cable available in most sections, and sites accommodate a variety of equipment including big rigs. Bayley's features 697 full or partial hookup campsites that are big rig friendly, many of them pull through accessible, with free WiFi, pet-friendly policies, and a dump station.
Coastal humidity, sea fog, and mosquitoes near the salt marshes are worth planning for. Traffic on Route 1 and I-95 slows on summer weekends, especially around Old Orchard Beach, so schedule arrivals and departures outside peak hours. Cell coverage is reliable across the metro area, and grocery, propane, and dump services are easy to find in Scarborough, South Portland, and Saco.
