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

The risers on the speed bumps were way too high. It cause our burners to come loose, a shade fell from the window, and one of the slides skipped a tooth causing it to not open properly. Also, the WIFI was terrible. We live out of our camper and rely on a decent WIFI to pay bills and communicate outside. When we returned to our hometown I had to drop my camper off to a RV repair center and spent several hundred dollars to repair it. Needless to say our stay was a two out of five star review.

The…read morereservation process: Easy - Called the phone number, talked to a lady who took down my CC number and immediately charged me for the first night. The location: Not as far from Wells Beach as the maps make you think it is. Yes, there are campgrounds that are closer, but not by much... and then the reason we picked this was because those closer ones were all booked! The campground, in our opinion looked like a trailer park if you look at it from the gates/road. We sat in our car and contemplated on what we are getting into for a few minutes! The checkin process: Was hilarious. The caretaker/owner is ex-military... and he will make it known to you. He's very friendly... not charming, but very straightforward and thorough in explaining the rules and ways to contact him! His weather report was spot on (and contradictory to what the news channels forecasted... he attributed that to - his days in the army!) Anyway... after about 15 minutes of smalltalk we finally got our access card, got to know our camp site location, and we were on our way. The site: We got site #92. It was one of the more remote sites AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! So, the camp/tent sites are at the far end of the campground - which was fine with us (being as far away from the trailers as possible). Maybe it was the heavy rains the night before and the fact that it was to rain that night, but there were just two more occupied tent sites... the rest of them were open. The camp site does indeed have a great tree cover and the site is perfectly level. We noticed the water runoff patterns from the night before and set up tent keeping that in mind. The noise level: Other than the train that rumbled by the first night (and it seemed distant), there was minimal traffic noise. There are bugs... big, persistent mosquitoes. But I wouldn't hold that against them... That's what I've had to deal with in MainE! The things that we weren't happy about: 1. The bathroom/toilets are TINY! I mean, a 6' 2" person's knees would be jammed against the door if you were using the toilet... and you'd graze your elbows if you didn't tuck your arms in while turning around in the shower! They were clean for sure, but the size of the facilities makes me wonder if it was designed for Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. 2. The fireplace was a hole in the ground lined with a metal circle. This after how the caretaker bragged about not having to put the fires out at night because his fireplaces are awesome... was a disappointment. Add to that the fact that the wood we got from the office was expensive AND DAMP! I had to use a whole box of fire starter pieces (from Kittery Outlets) to get a smoky burn going the next night! I'd stay here again for the well maintained, level, soft pine grounds and the tree cover... but I hope they renovate their bathrooms accommodate taller adults!

Late review from July 2022…read more Came here for a glamping trip for a bachelorette. I shared a cabin with another friend and the accommodations were really nice. This was my first time every doing any sort of camping so this was a nice first-time experience. The cabin came with a window ac, a small coffee table and I think a mini fridge. 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.

Let me start by saying I rented 2 side by side RV sites next to each other because the website says…read morefor large group tenting these sites are bigger and offer space for group tenting..my site hardly fit my tent and one other tent. I couldn't even put my screen house. Day 2 it rained which happens wouldn't have been an issue except the road gave away from above making 2 foot valley of water and rocks that slammed into my tent and caused one of the cars to only be on 3 wheels and another with the 2 ft ditch underneath it not being able to even drive out. when I went to the office to tell them they said " that's the risk you take when renting an RVtv site" it was NEVER TOLD TO US THAT SITE FLOODED OR THAT THERE WAS A CHANCE THE ROAD WOULD HAVE MADE A MOUNTAIN OF ROCKS SMASH INTO MY TENT. Also they put logs around the edge of the site that held in the foot of rain that accumulated soaking everything we brought. IT took 4 hours for them to come and refill the valley of dirt that gave way under the cars and they send 2 young girls with buckets to help recover the tent from the avalanche of rocks. day 3 during breakfast I look up and a golf cart was racing toward another 2 of our cars and slammed into between them causing damage to both cars. A 3 and 4 yr old decided to play in it causing this damage. Had the cars not been there the golf cart would have gone right into my daughters tent that had my granddaughter sleeping in it.. again the office was contacted and didn't even come to help the situation for over an hour. When they got there said " well things like this happen and called the police to file a report" They never once came and talked to us or offer an ounce of compensation. This campground is very expensive and canceled all activities because of the rain which I understand but could have rescheduled some of them the following day since we only paid to go to this place because of what they had to offer. The manager of guest relations was extremely rude and wanted nothing to do with anyone and sent the young assistant to me whenever I went to the office. They did absolutely nothing to make the situation any easier for any of us. I will NEVER EVER go back there. Why would they advertise large tent groups to rent an RV site if the sites flood??? Terrible experience never again!!
