Sun Outdoors Old Orchard Beach Downtown

Okay, so I've never even heard of this place before the summer of 2025, and if you don't know about this place, it's definitely worth the trip. I stayed in one of their cozy camping cabins with my sister, her partner and my nephew during the week of August 10th, and although we were only there until Wednesday of that week, it was a nice relaxing three days (if you count the day we arrived at the campground).

I also love the trolley service that takes you to the pier and back for two dollars, which saves a lot of walking if you're not familiar with the area. Would I camp here again? The answer is YES, especially if I get to go old school with a pop-up camper. Or camp out in a tent. Either way, I hope I get to come back again and explore more of the campground.

Have been coming here since it was Hid'N'Pines since the corporate buy out it has become increasingly more difficult to get a decent site and the maintenance is going downhill fast. Stayed for 10 days upon arrival 1 of the showers in the ladies room nearest me was out of order 3 days in another broke. Neither was fixed by the time I left. Paid the fees to ensure our site wouldn't get moved and corporate decided our site was going to be a seasonal so we got moved, plain bad business all around stay away from this camp ground and any others owned by this company.

After driving 11 hours, we arrived 9:10 and the office was closed, but a man working nearby offered to show us our campsite. There was a kids movie going on and the streets were crowded. We were lucky he was there as everything is so packed in, we would have had a difficult time finding it by ourselves.
We got set up and I went to take a shower. 2 minutes in, there was no hot water. Not warm water, there was no warmth to the water - no difference between all hot and all cold on the spigot. I finished showering as quickly as I could, very disappointed.
We got up in the morning and left at 11. This campsite was almost $100. And no hot water for $100 is too much.

We stayed at this campground for 4 days and had a great experience! The place was super clean—we saw the crew passing through day and night to keep everything tidy. There was a really good energy throughout the campground, and it felt safe and welcoming.

It’s located about 800m from the beach, which made it super convenient, and there was lots to do nearby. The staff were all friendly and helpful, which added to the positive vibe.

The only small downside is that the campsites themselves were a bit small, but honestly, it didn’t bother us too much because everything else was so well maintained.

Would definitely go back!

This was our first time at Sun out doors old orchard beach. We rented the two bedroom cottage there were 4 Adults.
1) the master bedroom had broken blinds. The only lights in both bedrooms are recessed lights so if you want to read a book at night with out keeping you partner up not possible. We could have used hangers. The bed was very squeaky and the pillows were awful luckily we brought are own.
2) the second bedroom has no fan no air conditioning.some plugs did not work. Very hot at night! (door closed or open)
3) The kitchen had dishes, cups, glasses basic kitchen staples. We had only one bowl (huge) the grill tools were broken and one of the outlets in living area did not work. It could use a cookie sheet.

4)On cleaning mostly good but floor needed a washing and there should be a floor mat inside the door coming in.

5) we loved the porch with fire place and the camp ground is beautiful. We were there the last week in May 2025.
Not at the peak season
comfort areas were clean.

6) over all we had an good experience. Very close to grocery store, laundry mat on site. Close to Old Orchard beach walkable.

The web site would be helpful if they would put details on what is available for kitchen supplies. A check list when you arrive to make sure you have everything.
You need to bring sheets, pillow cases, light blanket for bed, towels, washcloths, dish towels, garbage bags hangers. They do provide paper towel and dish detergent. We were happy we brought our own pillows but they do provide them.
