Sandy Pines Camping in Kennebunkport, ME

Sandy Pines Camping in Kennebunkport, Maine, probably has the most variety out of all of these. You can choose from luxury tents, hideaway huts, cottages, RV sites, whimsical tiny houses, and even unique stays like a Glass House or a Conestoga Wagon.

If you go for one of the more unique options, just keep in mind they’re usually limited to two people (perfect for a couple’s vaca). The “couples cottages” are fully furnished with a king bed, heat and AC, chandelier (yes, really), mini fridge, linens, and towels.

Family cottages are great too, with a king bed, two twin beds, heat and AC, mini fridge, lighting, and a fire pit for those cozy nights. Just one heads up, if you’re bringing your dog, skip the hideaway huts since they’re not pet-friendly.
