Sandy Pines Campground

$ | 277 Mills Rd., Kennebunkport, ME, 04046, USA Fodor's Choice

The "glamping" (glamorous camping) tents, camp cottages, and A-frame hideaway huts on wheels deliver as much comfort and luxury as a fine hotel (with a few caveats, including communal bathing areas), but let you be up close and personal with nature. Each option has its own flair: some have a safari-like vibe; others have nautical touches; and a couple have a mid-century modern feel. Couples-only options include an Airstream, a shepherd’s hut, and a glass house.

Pros

  • The glamping areas are quiet zones
  • A heated saltwater pool
  • All lodgings equipped with outdoor sitting area, picnic table, and fire ring

Cons

  • Expect all that comes with being in nature
  • Glamping options are not pet-friendly (but dogs OK on RV and rustic tent sites)
  • Three-night minimum stay (seasonal)

York Harbor Inn

A mid-17th-century fishing cabin with dark timbers and a fieldstone fireplace forms the heart of this historic inn, which now includes several neighboring buildings and three on-site restaurants.

Pros

  • Many rooms have harbor views
  • Close to beaches and scenic walking trails
  • Kid-friendly

Cons

  • Rooms vary greatly in style, size, and appeal
  • No ocean views at the Chapman Cottage
  • Only Harbor Crest Inn is pet-friendly
