I'm 47 years old and I grew up camping from the age of 5 to 30 in East Douglas, Massachusetts. Now,…read moreI am married and have three sons and we owned an adorable cottage on Post Road in Wells, Maine. The only problem was they did not allow fires in the evenings so my children were inside playing video games or watching TV once the mosquitoes came out to play around 6 PM. This past summer, my husband and I decided we don't want "cottage kids" we want "camping kids." We sold our cottage, bought a camper, and found the perfect home and Moody Beach Campground with manager Rick and his team. I don't know where to begin with the compliments for Rick and his entire staff. They are helpful, kind, friendly, loving, and they made us feel like we belong to part of the family that has been created at this amazing campground. Examples of this include, when I had packages delivered directly to the campground, because our primary home is in Washington DC, I was either notified about the packages immediately or they were literally dropped off at my site. Another example is when my new babysitter was NOT watching my young toddlers, two and three years old, swimming with floaties in the pool, instead she was on her cell phone texting. One of the cleaning people, brought it to my attention on the QT and I cannot thank her enough because ultimately she could've saved my children's lives by giving me this information. I was so PROUD to have guests come to my site to experience the family like atmosphere that Moody Beach Campground provides. At night, someone literally drives around in the golf cart dropping off/selling wood for people who need it. They have hayrides around the clock during the weekends. They also have a bus that takes you to the beach which is a little over a mile up the street and will pick you up at the beach to take you back. Not to mention, there are a ton activities for the kids, and amazing playground, a huge super clean pool, and the list goes on and on!! In conclusion, if you are looking for a place to call "HOME" for the summer or simply home for a weekend, or a week or two, look no further!!! If I were ever to hit the lottery for millions of dollars I would give a huge chunk to Rick (and Christy - she's sooooo awesome, and his entire team, especially the loving and friendly women who clean the cottages) because he is every camper's dream-come-true manager!!! Thanks Rick for your unrelenting kindness, for all your smiles, hellos, and help!!! #RickRocksMoodyBeachCampground

This campground is a hidden gem, a peaceful escape from the crowds of Old Orchard Beach. It is clean, quiet and reasonably priced.

Full hook ups for our motorhome allowed our motorhome to work fully and without any disruptions.

Beach Rose RV Park is a home away from home with wonderful opportunities to connect with people passionate about people. Don't hesitate to reserve your space today when choosing a Boston area RV camp ground. It's super affordable and super fun.

We stayed from May 1 - June 17. We stay here each year and will be back in the Fall. Why 4 stars and not 5. Internet is almost nonexistent. Catch it as you can and be prepared to be kicked off frequently especially on the weekends. In the past they contracted with a 3rd party and you could buy high speed internet for a week or a month, but they no longer offer it. If you work from home in your RV it would be difficult. I can set my phone as a hotspot but the data is also sketchy at best now that the trees are fully leafed out.

The staff was outstanding, friendly, helpful, and genuinely pleasant throughout our stay. That said, the campground feels noticeably more crowded than it did a couple of years ago. The former ropes course has been removed and replaced with additional campsites, cabins, and RV spots. While I understand the need to grow, the extra density has taken away some of the charm and space that made the campground feel more family friendly. Traffic was another concern. There seemed to be more golf carts and vehicles than before, often moving too quickly through the campground. With limited traffic calming measures, I didn't feel as comfortable letting kids ride their bikes around as I did on previous visits. Noise was the biggest issue. The train passing through at night wasn't ideal, but it was manageable. More disruptive was a large group of young adults camping nearby who partied until after 2 a.m. both nights. Between the late night noise, and a car alarm that sounded for an extended period overnight, getting a good night's sleep was nearly impossible. Overall, this is still a campground with great amenities, a fantastic location, and exceptional staff. However, the increased crowding, traffic, and late-night noise have made it feel less family oriented than it used to, especially in the tent camping areas.

It comes though about 3 times throughout the night and literally shakes the ground. Be sure to not to camp near the railroad tracks!! Weekends are packed and it's wall to wall people. There are so many rental trailers and alot of seasonal permanent trailers! As with any beach scene you have alot of people who are there to party, the campground has its share of loud rude campers. If quiet is what you're looking for, this probably wouldn't work for you. I will say the playgrounds are very nice and the pools are very nice. It's very close to the beach which is convenient. For a camping site with electric and water I paid $129 a night in the middle of July from Wednesday through Monday.

Turtle Kraal Campground is the dumpiest of dumps…read more There is NO WAY this place takes your breath away like another poster said unless you're talking about what a dump it is like another poster said. And NO....it is not clean as a whistle. Since 2014 they have four reviews. This speaks volumes. The place has NOTHING going for it. Wide open, hot as hell in the Summer with no shade and bees everywhere. If you leave anything out during the week, expect it gone when you return. Imagine being among people who steal from you. Report it to the office and they do NOTHING and say they haven't heard of any other reports. Report to the police and they tell you they have been out there MANY TIMES with people reporting things stolen. No activities at all. NOTHING. They have some lazy really fat guy named Fred Weber going around in a golf cart complaining about the children riding their bikes too fast. What the heck is too fast? If you have any plans on even thinking of this dump, call the police first and ask them the history with reports of items stolen first. Pay more money, go somewhere else, and have an enjoyable vacation. Could I give ZERO stars?

Unfortunately. We were on the wrong side of the tracks for this stay. Hardly worth the $60 during the end of season. The site was dirty with trash and a fire pit that wasn't cleaned. Our picnic table had muddy dog prints all over it and the water connection was less than 6 inches off the ground and just above the sewer connection, which made attaching sewer connections impossible. They have posted 9 pm quiet hours, yet our 9 pm late arriving seasonal neighbors were loudly partying and drinking until well after 1 AM. Quiet hours simply are not enforced. Fortunately, we only had one night remaining, cut this trip short, just not worth the money we are spendjng.

Outside of the cabin had a cooler/igloo and chairs to sit on. One of the other girls said they were on the camping ground in the same area and said the mosquitos were really bad but thankfully that wasn't the case during our trip. There's a small convenience store near the entrance which we walked to and get our steps in. Our cabin was right across from a bathroom facility which was nice. Only downside is that the bathroom floor was always wet.
