OCEANFRONT camping at Sagadahoc Bay Campground located at the southern tip of Georgetown Island has cabins (tiny houses), tent sites, and RV sites. With sites on the oceanfront or with views of the ocean or sites at the base of a 30 ft cliff with the cliff-face as your backdrop, we guarantee you will find something to love at Sagadahoc Bay Campground. We offer: kayaking, swimming, clamming (you say you've never been clamming? (If Pat can teach Al Roker of the Today Show how to dig clams, I am sure she can teach you!) Walking on the sand flats a low tide is a very unique experience, one that will excite all your senses. Want lobsters delivered to your sight every night? No Problem. No hassle, no waiting in line, just order by 4:00 p.m. and the lobsters will be delivered, cooked or live at 6:00 p.m. Oh, don't forget, DOGs are always welcome!!

DON’T.
You cannot choose your campsite. We were given a dumpy, tiny site in a dreary, broken down forest with fallen trees, stumps, dead ferns and no sunlight, away from everything. There was no fire pit and the road was barely driveable. There was no one else in sight and the bay was on the other side of a ridge. No easy access.
Junk was piled at various points in the campground.
We cannot speak to the bathhouse as we never bothered to look.
They made a point of selling bug repellent so I guess the mosquitoes are there.
Some folks love this place. I couldn’t see it.
I truly dislike posting a negative review but in this case I feel I must provide at least some guidance to those considering this camp ground. We have a camper trailer and travel with some comfort but are reliant on some locations for washrooms and showers. We picked this location as we were desperate for a trailer site prior to the Labour Day long weekend and we were looking for a location to burn a couple of days before our reservations in Acadia National Park.
The positives: enjoyed the location and proximity to Portland and Freeport; enjoyed the walk out on the tidal flats and watched others dig for clams - very cool!
The negatives: the park is poorly run and maintained; washrooms were filthy and refused to use the showers they were so dirty. There is no excuse for for anyone who wants to provide this service to the public. Go if you must, but be aware.
This was our third trip to this campground and we have enjoyed each and every trip. The staff is friendly, the views are wonderful, and the sites are well kept. We go to Maine several times every year to go camping (tent) and this is by far our favorite place to go. It is so peaceful and quiet. It's just what the mind, body, and soul need for a recharge. I can't say enough wonderful things about this campground. You have to experience it to believe it.
We are normally state park campers, so we are used to secluded sites– individual sites hidden from neighboring sites by a good number of trees / brush. This campground is much more like an open hillside with some picnic tables and fire pits set out. It's so open that it's hard to even tell where your site ends and the next starts. In addition to being out in the open, there are also no clearly defined pathways so other campers were walking through our site all weekend. We're friendly people, but our dog can be reactive to other dogs so we were pretty stressed all weekend about the dogs walking through our site. Water on site was nice, but I would give that up in a heartbeat for some privacy. I would also say that camper etiquette was missing– lots of yelling way past sundown and before 7 am.
The bathrooms were okay. Again, not nearly as clean as a state park, but the free (as opposed to coin operated) shower was a great touch.
I'm still giving it a 4 star review because you simply cannot beat the water! The tide was beautiful and created a huge walking beach at low-tide that we were able to let our dog run around on. If you have them, bring your own kayak/canoe (rentals were crazy expensive).
Also stop for campfire wood on the road in– they price gouge at the campground store.
This was our first visit to this place, and we absolutely adored the view and the warm hospitality of our neighbors. We cherished the moments when we ventured out during low-tide, walking as far as we could. It was a truly special experience that our family will hold dear. The location is fantastic, with convenient access to wonderful places like Reid beach, Five Island Lobster Co and Georgetown Pottery. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Pat and Eric for generously sharing their stunning property for our camping adventure and creating lasting family memories. We can't wait to come back as soon as possible.
