Welcome to Riverside Campground, located at 2295 Post Rd, Wells, ME 04090. As part of the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, Riverside Campground offers camping in Wells, Maine, with a focus on its riverfront location.
Riverside Campground is noted for its compact campsites, which some reviewers have found to be too close together. The campground is promoted as having a riverfront location, but customer reviews indicate that the river is "disgusting dirty" and not easily accessible or visible from the riverfront sites. This discrepancy has led to dissatisfaction among campers who felt the river was misrepresented.
Key points about Riverside Campground based on customer reviews:
Customer reviews highlight the close proximity of campsites and the disappointing state of the river. One reviewer mentioned, "Way too small of camp areas. Felt like the next person was sitting on top of us." Another review stated, "The RIVER is promoted as an asset, in fact it’s DISGUSTING DIRTY, not even visible or accessible from the RIVER FRONT sites. VERY MISLEADING!" Despite these negative aspects, the campground is acknowledged for being safe and clean.
If you're considering Riverside Campground, be aware of the compact campsite sizes and the condition of the river. While it offers basic amenities like hot water and is considered safe and clean, it may not be suitable for those seeking spacious campsites or a scenic river experience.

Way too small of camp areas. Felt like the next person was sitting on top of us. I watched at least four other people driving and look how small the spots were and took off. We went there to relax not to have people two feet away from you. The employees were not friendly. There is no camp store there is nothing in the building but his desk. No wood to get for the fires. The only real good thing that I can say about this place is that it does have hot water.
The RIVER is promoted as an asset, in fact it’s DISGUSTING DIRTY, not even visible or accessible from the RIVER FRONT sites. VERY MISLEADING! Also, I have never seen so many sites, packed SO TIGHTLY together. Not a place to hang outside. Safe, clean, friendly.
Nice, smallish campground In a great locale. Cable TV (poor signal), good showers, internet. Lots of seasonals who seem to have a good time. The place is noisy! Very close to busy train line & roadway.
This campground has new owner and they have really tried hard to make things better. Buildings have been updated, playground has been updated, pool is well maintained. Many people come back year after year. We have been seasonal here for years and you can't beat the fact that the beach is literally a bike ride away, or that children can run around with other children and enjoy themselves. Well behaved dogs are allowed.
This is an RV park, a very small one but NOT a place to "camp." Drove 2 hours to this site, new site for my family of 4, we like traditional tent camping. Showed up after hours, (office closed) got our paperwork and drove 50-100ft to our camp site, almost drove past it cause it was so small. The sites are basically 20 feet wide by 16 feet deep. We brought 2 vehicles truck and SUV, and we could only park them on our site. Essentially, they give you a site the size of 2 parking spots, no privacy or space between you and the next tent. This is not a camp site or camping. They shouldn't even offer this kind of service they are not equipped for it. The plot sizes are deceptive they are not spaced out as you see in their information online. They provide what seems like the bottom of a steel 55 Gallon drum dug into the ground to make your fire. The picnic table is a nice touch, but that's its. The "river" is also not a river. It is an elongated pond. The water doesn't move. If it does, it's very slow and is only good for breeding bugs. Hyped up to sound like a place you could have privacy In the woods, play in a river, have everything you need, but it is NOT. I can't tell you much about anything else, we got there, saw this patch of grass they consider a camp site, and immediately started looking up hotels to stay at. Cost me another $500 on top of the fee to stay at this place which only refunds half. They can keep it. If I can convince you not to set up a tent at this place its worth the money. No pictures to busy trying to leave but truck me the place looks clean but this seems like money grab to rent a parking spot to camp on.
Very cramped, very run down and dirty. Trailer park feel. Very tiny not so nice pool
I stayed here for about 10 days. The park is well maintained, everyone there is extremely friendly and welcoming. I will definitely stay here again when I find myself on the coast. I really enjoyed my stay here.
