There was not a lot of shade where we were, but we were in the section that has larger rvs, some of the smaller spots seemed to have shade. It was a nice, quiet park, and also seemed to be very dog friendly. There is a dog park which was a very nice touch, as well as free dog cleanup up bags and a place you throw the used bags. I did not get to use the laundry or the public restrooms so I can't attest to how those work... the cable was great, and was such a nice touch. When we first arrived someone drove us to our site with a golf cart which was also really nice. We enjoyed this park, and would stay here again. I'm not sure of where the negative reviews come from, we really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Worst camping experience we've had in 50 years of RV experience. It starts when you try to enter…read morethe campground and have to drive over bumps/holes that will absolutely tear up your rig (Seriously, it broke bolts and caused damage to our lights. We will be seeking compensation for those damages. They broke dishes, caused the pantry door to fly open and all our groceries to fall out ruined.). This place is not well-maintained at all. The sites are practically on top of each other. There is no room to set up anything. Anything you need to do here is an additional charge. The bathrooms are sweltering and full of bugs (Who builds a campsite next to a swamp?!). There never seems to be anyone in the office during the business hours they claim, and those are only 1-7:00PM. It's brilliant on their part. Checkout is two hours before the office opens, so you won't be able to complain or get anything handled before you leave. Forget getting firewood, but that's OK, 'cause there is no room for a campfire anyway. You're not allowed to actually use the trashcans or dumpster for normal travel waste, by the way. Signs say no food or beverages, food containers, etc. This place is unbelievably cramped and crowded with not nearly enough facilities for this many people. The seasonal people are unbelievably rude to the short term stay folks (no idea why). And there truly odd people wandering around in the middle of the night. No kids is a plus for noise, but I'd rather have kids disrupting the quiet than relentless, massive, swamp bugs. Also, they allow dogs.. bark all night, yap all day, untrained, loud, sometimes leashed dogs. Avoid. You are better off at a truck stop, rest area or parking lot. We will be requiring a refund as well as compensation for the damages to our motorhome and belongings. But since the operators make sure to not be available, we'll have to seek our reimbursement/refund when we get home.

Years ago the fields that now have trailers and rows of roads where once strawberry fields.. yes,years ago... The Bachelders worked very hard to have one of the nicest trailer parks in wells and If not southern Maine. Mr B and Mrs B started a great summer place and Mark and Sandi with the hard work of there sons and significant others continue the charge. Reading reviews of disgruntled yelpers all I can say is read your contract before signing it. There's no hidden agenda. Everything is spelled out and always has been on how the park is and how its run. It's a family park and a friendly park. If people dont abide by the rules then they will be delt with in the best way possible. As I remember alcohol was the only thing I can remember over the 30 years I was there that caused problems but where delt with professionally and swiftly by park management. When your in a trailer setting like beach acres and your a seasonal or daily renter you have to be respectful and neighborly to all around you. They have camp rules for a reason. To make things nice for all involved. In mine and my famlies 30 plus years there we met fantastic people and we gained lifelong friends and that even included the wonderful people who run Beach acres. They have a great business because generally there's a waiting list to get in there. Unfortunately my folks passed last year but the best days of my parents lives as well as my extended family was at beach acres. We have the best memories ever.They had rules then and my whole family abided by them whether it was for a day,a weekend,a week or a whole season. I'm glad we had the privilege of doing business with such a great family business. My parting comment to yelpers if you want to go here for however long.....know the rules and fully read and understand there contract if your a seasonal renter. There's no hidden secrets..Its just pretty straight forward... 3 sets of my extended family where seasonal renters and we never once had a issue or a problem. because we knew there contract and we new the park rules. It's a beautiful place to get a way and make great memories....Go and have fun ! And be respectful !!! PS..The store and office staff where always the friendliest and best !

Peaceful Riverfront Gem Just Minutes from Portland, Maine!…read more I absolutely loved my stay at Riverbend Retreat! It's hard to believe this quiet riverfront campground is so close to Portland, Maine, and all the amazing restaurants, lighthouses, and coastal attractions nearby. One day I was kayaking on the river surrounded by nature, and the next I was exploring Portland Head Light and enjoying dinner by the waterfront -- the perfect mix of peace and adventure. Even though it's just a short drive to town, it truly feels like you're in the middle of nowhere -- calm, private, and surrounded by trees and the sound of the river. I would absolutely love to have a seasonal site here someday! If you're looking for a Maine campground that combines the best of nature and convenience, Riverbend Retreat is a hidden gem worth discovering.

While many will disagree with this review a few of us experienced RV'ers will know exactly why I…read morerated this RV resort the way I did. In fairness the park is doing its best to become a 100% seasonal owner RV park. The management should place the traveling RV's in a separate part of the park away from the seasonal residents until this transition is complete. However until this is done, those of us who have been on the road for six months or longer and have stayed in more parks than we can remember, we are not looking for a park that crams your RV into a spot that will hardly hold a tent, hours of annoying loud music vibrating your RV and shaking your windows, huge hundred pound dangerous breed dogs being walked by children, teens having golf cart races, a safe place to walk your small dogs without having tons of children scaring them and laughing about it, neighbors acting like drunken fools at midnight, free WiFi that never works however you are offered an upgrade at an additional cost, etc, etc. I believe by now you get the idea. Don't get me wrong, if this is what you are looking for in a RV park then this is your park. Matter of a fact it deserves a five star for managing to even fit a 32' travel trailer in between several RV's that are decked out with storage buildings, elaborate decks/sunrooms, fences and vehicles lining the small road. I can't make this up, one of the sites on the end actually built a Windsor wall to prevent anyone from turning down "their" road. Because of this you have to navigate up to 20 vehicles that line the road then blind back your RV into a tiny spot. Most experienced travelers are seeking piece and quite which is a far cry in this park. The only reason I booked this park was because I had stayed in another Sun Resort in Mystic Connecticut that was perfect for my age group. That particular park was very quite and laid back with plenty of room to walk my two small six pound dogs without having to torture them to walk in the middle of the street holding their urine and poop while passing by RV's with people glaring warnings not to allow your pet to not unleash its bladder or bowels on their little tiny spot in this world and the fear of getting mauled by huge dogs on chains not being watched by their owners. However it's ok for them to allow their pet to drop huge piles on your campsite and keep walking. My wife and I felt like the park pooper scoopers. I don't want this type of drama. All I want is peace and quiet. Why campgrounds think that experienced RV'ers want to deal with this is beyond me. I actually know exactly what a sardine feels like in a can after my stay here. The staff was nice, especially Phil, who by the way was doing his best to help me thread a camel through the eye of a needle while backing (for which I have over 40 years of doing so) however someone on his pocket radio thought something else was more important. However don't trust what they tell you about sites being booked. I asked three times to move to a couple different sites that I watched empty my entire visit, however I was told they were reserved. Getting hooked up and pulling out was a nightmare with trucks and cars parked out into the middle of the street. Some campsites had as many as 12 people and five vehicles staying in one RV across from us. When I checked in I ask for a good quite spot. What I received was far from it. I believe I would have been better off boon docking at Walmart. The night before I left I had to walk around the park and politely ask people to clear their vehicles off the road to make room to pull my truck and camper out. What a nightmare. I'm sure the management will respond with something smart to say, however they will probably be right. I should have looked for a park that advertises large private campsites without seasonal RV'ers and without all the bells and whistles. To Sun Corporation, it's only a matter of time before a small child gets mauled to death by a vicious dog, drowns in your pool where parents don't stay with them, someone getting seriously injured by a child racing a golf cart or a child getting ran over by a vehicle from walking out between all the trucks and cars that line each side of the small roads. Your goal should be to look at Seaside in Mystic Connecticut and try to model that park.

The web site is extremely deceiving, and any photos that are posted are very old. There were many…read moreconcerns with our stay at this establishment. I won't list everything because it would be too long, and will just share the most serious. There were only 5 total campsites occupied during our stay (3 seasonal, 2 regular campers) and everyone we spoke to felt disappointed by the expectation from the web site vs. the very different reality. I hope to save someone else from making the mistake of booking this place. 1. There are no ponds, only swamps. See photos. The web site advertises 3 ponds, even referring to one as the "glamping pond." I promise they are swamps that are entirely taken over by invasive milfoil. Swimming is not only prohibited, but would be impossible and unsafe. As a side note, floats are not allowed in the pool (the only place to swim at this campground). 2. The layout is not at all like a campground. It is an open parking lot. There are no trees and no shade. The camp sites are like parking spots (see photos) with no trees or privacy between sites. 3. They advertise a schedule of activities for the kids. There were zero activities the entire week we were here. There is a rec room, which has tables/chairs, a tv, air hockey, and some board games. 4. Safety-there are no staff members that you will find if you need anything. There is a lady who works the front office but she is often not there. I turned on the oven in our cabin and it immediately started smoking due to sticky burned goop that was left by a previous guest, filling the cabin with smoke and setting off the fire alarm. No employee noticed or came. 5. Dog park-another deceiving part of the web site. It is a very small fenced circle with a tiny dog house in it. Be careful, the dog house has a hornets nest in it. 6. Since there is nothing to do at this campground, we found ourselves driving to off site activities daily. Most things are 45 minutes away. There is a nice beach about 15 minutes away. The nearest grocery store is about 15 minutes away (there is no camp store on site, they only sell ice at the office). I was really looking forward to floating in a lovely pond and enjoying a campground with all the amenities that are advertised here. The theme of the week was how we had been "scammed" and "catfished." We did our best to stay positive and make the best of it. My toddler enjoyed the playground and the bouncy house.
