This is just a really nice little park, perfect for a visit into Portland or down to the beach. It's tucked back behind a neighborhood of nice homes and is next to a tidal marsh. Very pretty, very quiet. I will definitely keep this on my list in case we come back through the area.

Our spot backed up to a view of the marsh, though I'd go for site 24 next to us if possible. It's more level and larger. Any site backing up to the marsh will have very nice views.

Water pressure is high (initially showed 100psi), be sure you have a pressure regulator.

For work, AT&T isn't getting any real LTE bandwidth even though the signal is strong. Verizon on the other hand is getting 35mb/down and 7mb/up.

This is the first campground I've been to in years where the site was raked for our arrival. That tells you all you need to know about the commitment to maintenance here, and that same level of detail is seen in the public restrooms as well. This is a good location from which to explore Portland and Portland Head Light. There are some great little lobster shacks nearby - Ken's and Bayleys. Good wifi offsets a weak cell signal. They rent canoes and kayaks here.

We’ve stayed here twice on our way to Acadia. It’s a very well maintained campground and the owners and camphosts are very nice. This is the only campground we can find in the area that is open before May 1st and it’s a pleasant treat. It’s about 20 minutes to Portland downtown. Would highly recommend but keep in mind, no one under 21 is allowed here - it’s an adult only campground.

This Adults only (21+) campground is nestled in a beautiful salt water marsh area. Great for birders. Quiet, serene and well cared for. Plenty of trash and bottle/can recycling containers, clean, raked lots with clean fire rings. The grounds and building are immaculate. Close to Portland, Old Orchard Beach and many other attractions in the area. Quiet dogs, on leash, allowed, doggie pick up station with bags. Owner, work campers and seasonal folks are very pleasant. Good sized sites with picnic tables, fire rings, flower, soft lighting, laundry, rest rooms, showers, and outside sink for tenters. Cable TV and fairly fast internet. Definitely will be our go to place for future visits to the area.

Love this place. It’s quiet and clean. The staff is friendly. Small park. Stayed busy while we were there. Many spots are booked throughout the season already. Sites could be wider to give more privacy. Some seasonals here but everyone is clean. The speed ruts on the bridge are brutal. Go very slowly. Great spot for birding. Convenient to supplies and restaurants.

Clean beautiful campground with large level sites nestled within large trees. The bathrooms were very clean. There is a small clean laundry. We stayed for the night on our way home. I wish we could have stayed longer. We have a 40 foot 5th wheel and did not have to unhook.

After exploring Arcadia NP and Maine's north coast we were looking for more stores and other activities. Portland, ME does not disappoint and Wild Duck Adult (21+) Campground was perfect. It's a little tight on the small loop road, but we are 45ft and our neighbor was 40ft with an enclosed trailer. The sites in the middle are 50A FHU and pull-through. It was perfect for us, shaded under the trees so even the few days in the high 80's and low 90's were fine. The sites are meticulously maintained, with the team raking pine needles preparing for new visitors. The campground sits right on the edge of the tidal marsh, which is beautiful and full of wildlife (and mosquitoes of course!). The turn-in is off the end of a small residential street so it is quiet. The campground has maybe 30-40% seasonals, who are very friendly, including letting us use their lobster pot to cook our purchases.

This is the perfect local/city shopping and place to visit. Here are some of the things you may want to consider:

Turner Lobsters, 2.2 miles. Lobster at $4.50/lb.
Bayley's Seafood 1.7 miles. Excellent fish sandwich.
Two Lights State Park, but just past that is Lobster Shack, eat lobster rolls as the ocean laps around the rocks.
Cape Elizabeth
Downtown Portland, Exchange Street. Shopping, restaurants.
Take the ferry island hopping.
L.L. Bean, Freeport.

And they accepted our Amazon deliveries, which is our lifeblood is a full-timer!

Cell coverage: AT&T was typically good (10/2 mbps), T-Mobile was roaming on AT&T, Verizon was busy all the time (2/1 mbps)

Small quiet, wooded park on the edge of a tidal marsh. If you are small enough to get one of the van/pop up spots on the peninsula there are some spectacular views- if not you can walk around the park and check them out easily.

We are not really city folks but wanted to at least check out the Portland area- sadly we had a lot of rain while we were there. We did manage to squeeze in some surfing at Old Orchard Beach and our dog loved running around on Higgins Beach (off leash) even in the dense fog. We had hoped to take some kayaks/canoes out on the tidal marsh near the campground as well as ride the eastern trail/greenway on our bikes- but time and weather got the best of us.

Overall this is a pretty standard RV park, with a little more nature feel than most and a good value for what its near (and compared to other parks in the area). A lot of the sites are smaller, after over a year of traveling we finally got to witness neighbors really failing at parking and taking over 20 tries and a good 45 minutes to successfully back into their site- I think it was them more than the site though as 2 other people stayed in that site during our stay and had no issues. There are a handful of larger pull through spots for those less skilled at backing in.

We initially had great internet connection with AT&T and just okay connection with Verizon, but after a big storm came through both were pretty mediocre for the rest of our stay.

The laundry room is small with 2 washers and 4 dryers (one was out of order) so we chose to do laundry at a laundromat walking distance from the beach in Old Orchard Beach instead so we could clean everything at once.

Our Motorhome got covered in sap and pine needles from all the pine trees. The convertible we were towing had pine sap all over after just in one day. We stayed three days, so by the time we left our Motorhome and car were both a mess. We heard multiple dogs barking. The restroom and showers were clean. They had two of three washers working and both were in use every time we checked.

Well maintained and clean with love. Beautiful campground with peaceful views. It’s quietly respectful as an adult only campground.
