Acres of Wildlife Campground

Stayed with my family in August. I wanted to love it. Pros: plenty on the schedule for young kids. I like that it has a restaurant . We weren’t able to go to the restaurant (we tried but it was closed that day- my fault for not checking the schedule). We did get some great breakfast sandwiches from another place on the campground near the beach and a very nice lady worked there. The beach area is nice. Many playgrounds. Camp store selection isn’t bad. Close to Sebago area. There are paddle board rentals which were a big highlight! When I booked our cabin the front desk was very pleasant. Cons: The people that work in the camp store are hit or miss and sometimes treat you more like a nuisance than a guest. The dark haired young man made us super uncomfortable. Maybe we caught him on a bad week, but without knowing for sure I’d say he lacks people skills and because he’s young I think he needs feedback so he can grow and learn. (Also, not really a pro or con but just a note to fellow coffee fans: bring your own coffee if you can or plan accordingly. We were in one of the treehouses and there is no decent coffee on the campground just a Keurig with Wal-mart brand pods you need to purchase. Because it takes 10 minutes alone just off the campground due to the rural proximity a run for decent coffee is at least 45 minutes). Kids going back and forth the road on a golf cart blaring music and shouting and pulling into empty camp sites, one of which was right next to ours, on repeat. I have teenagers myself so I could deal, but considering many other reviews say similar things I thought it was worth mentioning. We chose Acres of Wildlife because it had mini golf and disc golf, but the mini golf was not cleaned and had debris everywhere, and the disc golf course was not maintained (why even bother mentioning it on your website?) Showers are due for a remodel. We’ve camped at plenty of places and while this one has sooo much potential, it feels like they spend a lot of money on golf carts to be able to provide rentals instead of the actual campground. Maybe we’ll give it another chance someday but improvements could be made.

Every staff person we spoke to is extremely friendly and engaging. They constantly had activities going, although our family did not partake. The on-site store literally had anything you could think of. Bathrooms were very clean, and we liked the creative set up. This is the reason for a higher rating than I would normally give. Our challenges were the entry road. It was extremely long and extremely bumpy causing us to dread ever needing to leave the Campground. Our site was very narrow, but long enough and had an area in the back for the fire. It was not easy getting into the site, but once we did, it was OK. It was very quiet in our area, and the people next to us were very nice on either side. This worked out well since they were extremely close. We did enjoy the fire pit being in the back of the site. However, I felt like we were sitting with our neighbors and afraid to disturb them by even having a conversation. With all of this said there was nothing the staff could have done differently, it just happens to be the layout of this area, so we did not say anything to anyone. We enjoyed the quiet and the kindness of the staff.

The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. We had a couple little hiccups but maintenance was there quickly to fix things. The road coming into the park is a bit rough and the mini golf needs some repairs. But we had a great time with our family reunion and everyone was happy with our choice with Acres of Wildlife Campground.

We booked during the week so we did go in knowing the restaurant and snack shack wouldn't be open this time of year during the week but we sure did miss them! We made sure to bring our own meals to cook. It was however super quiet since there were only a few campers in our section which really made up for it!! This is our 2nd time here and we will definitely be back. The staff is great and the campground is a really good one!!highly recommend!

I remember coming here year after year with my best friend and his family when I was a kid. Absolutely some of the best times I've had and now that it's been over 15 years I truly miss this place. Scuba Steve in the summer. Magic shows, hypnotists, games activities were endless. The Halloween weekends and haunted hayride was great. You guys are awesome and glad to see this place is still thriving.

So we had a weekend planned here for Memorial Day!! Very excited. A few days ago we had our camper stolen. With plenty of advance notice I simply called and asked for a refund due to scenario. They said no sorry. Then after losing $60 I got a partial refund and I was charged to cash their check at their bank. Turned a fun weekend into a little rethinking where to go next time. Very disappointed…… Thanks Josh
