Shore Hills Campground & RV Park

We really enjoyed our stay at this campground and the nearby city of Boothbay Harbor. We requested a waterfront site (and were put in site 83.) The sites with water views are water/electric only, but that was fine with us. Most sites in the campground are 30 amp, but there is a section with 50 amp sites (and also sewer) near the front of the park. These sites have no trees and are fairly close together, although the sites themselves are long. If you have a very large rig you'll probably need to go into this section. But we preferred where we were, which had better views and also more trees. We had good cell service in our site, but the service seemed to be weaker in all other sections. The owners were very nice. The campground is very clean and well maintained. The bathrooms weren't great, but the laundry room was. We would definitely stay here again.

Having stayed in many RV camps on the east coast Shore Hills is one of the best. Why. Easy. Great access. Large sites. Close to town. 30 & 50 Amp. Cable TV that actually works. (80 Channels). Quiet. WIFI that works. Good water pressure. Gravel site pad. The park is spotless. There are plenty of trash cans.

The rate includes Good Sam Discount. PLease note They only take cash.

If not for the particularly bad experience I personally had, we probably wouldn't have any issue with this campground. The sites are fine (full hook ups are in the open, while water/electric are in the trees and closer to the water), the location is pretty good, and everything worked as expected. But, unfortunately, their customer service, or lack thereof, is what stands out most about this campground and it is why we will never be back.

They are sticklers for their rules and if you have a cancellation, for any reason, expect your $50 deposit to go down the drain. In our case, in the summer of 2016, I broke my leg just days after mailing in our $50 deposit and well over two weeks before the reservation was to start. As soon as I realized we would not be able to make it, I notified them that we needed to cancel (again, more than two weeks before the beginning of the reservation). Instead of showing any compassion whatsoever, they told me our deposit would be forfeited. When I pressed the issue, they finally allowed us to reschedule our stay for the following summer. Given how other campgrounds handed my situation (with kindness and understanding and going out of their way to make sure we didn't lose our deposits), Shore Hills left a bad taste.

I would understand if we simply changed our mind about where we wanted to go, or waited until the last minute to cancel, but none of those things happened. I was laid up for 12 weeks after my injury and surgery, and I notified them a full two weeks before the reservation was to start. They would have had no problem filling our space. They have one of the harshest reservation policies I've seen in over a year of traveling. Most places don't forfeit your deposit unless you cancel within 24 or 48 hours of the expected start date.... These guys run off with it as soon as you make the reservation and send them the check. They get all the benefit and the customer takes on all the risk.

Additionally, they were simply not friendly. Both times I went into the office, I barely got a "hello." Prior to our arrival, I had read that they offered a shuttle downtown. At check in, I asked about it and the lady just handed me a business card with departure times. No explanation, no friendly conversation, no nothing. I've had friendlier interactions with DMV staff. They don't take credit cards or debit cards, they charge extra fees for random nonsense (washing your car onsite), there are a ton of posted rules and regulations for doing this or that. Everything benefits them and costs their customers. It just seemed like a joyless place.

We won't be back.

Camped at the beginning of September and would definitely come back. The sites were not only spacious but also well spaced apart. Beautiful views on most waterfront sites, and wooded sites were also generously spaced. Campground was well maintained and very clean. Can’t wait to return!

Nice quiet campground, good location to get into Boothbay Harbor. Nothing wrong. Site was pretty level, we heard fucks quacking and it was cute.

A pretty RV campground for all sizes of motor homes, trailers and campers, but it is especially peaceful for small trailers, pop-ups, tenters, and truck campers that can fit into the small spaces along the river at the back of this park. It is nice and quiet there along the tidal river. We stayed two nights as a ‘training’ trip with our neighbor who just bought a new truck camper—we live just a few miles away in Wiscasset, but felt like we were on a real trip. We liked the nice Rec Room and the pretty trees, soothing river landscape and individualized campsites. The restrooms aren’t too modern; stalls very cramped, but clean. Firewood was expensive given size of bundles. Park is super convenient to lovely Boothbay Harbor and to Wiscasset. We’d definitely go back. Check-in process rather antiquated. Recommend you check out your Space before driving to the end of the Road if you’re parking along the River!

We have stayed twice and both times were great. We stayed at 68 down by the water this time and it was fantastic. They have canoes and kayaks available to use. This is one of our favorite places.

Friendly Staff, Clean Sites, Beautifully Wooded Site (#8) Sites Are Amply Spread Out - Tech Review (ha) @5:30 PM T-Mobile Sub 50 Download With Pixilation- ATT 90 down w NO pixilation for streaming shows- as for #8 keep dishy in its case ;-)

Smallest toilet stalls ever and a quarter for a shower.

Excellent cable TV & poor WiFi.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Nicely laid out sites, trash cans at every one. Very clean place. Great open sites or more wooded if you prefer. Open sites are close to the road so some noise from that during day but not bad.
