We are planning to go tent camping this summer in Southern Maine. Does anyone have any favorites? Does anyone have any advice on places to stay away from?

Answer
I would vote Sebago Lake State Park. Hands down. Terrific lake for swimming, and boating if you choose. Beach to hang out on, and shady trees around the sites. You can reserve sites, but there are also sites that you have to just show up to get. There is access to bathrooms and showers. Super affordable and in my opinion, better than a commercial campground.

Anyone know a good place to go tent camping in NH or Maine?

I have between 4 to 6 Adults and 2 or 3 small children and 2 cars. (not sure yet). We would like running water, but no electricity is not a big deal. We will be using tents and want to avoid the big RV parks and the commercial places. No Pools, golfcourses, clubhouses, arcades etc. We want our children to experience the rustic NH wilderness while still being safe. If anyone has any recommendations or knows a good place to look please help me out ! Thanks.

Answer
Here is the website for Exeter Elms in Exeter, New Hampshire. I have stayed there in the past and it is a top notch operation, Great tent sites on the river, clean showers, and it is close to the beach, Portsmouth, and New England dragway. I was in Ash tenting area #4A . http://www.exeterelms.com/
Happy camping,
