This is a very quaint, quiet campground. The staff was very helpful and friendly. What we liked most was that our dog could swim all day in the river and no one bothered us. We camped there with friends and we were able to pull up next to each other awning to awning. All in all it was a great place for us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Has a small arm gate for "security" operated from the office/camp store that, if someone wanted to, could be bypassed by driving around the barn before the gate. We got a kick out of the British flag flying under the American Flag on a pole next to the office. Alot of seasonals. No discounts of any kind on rates. A dumpster along the entrance road where they dump the animal waste with many flies buzzing about. We paid the 31.75 and set up. Since the coach was hot from travel and we had 4 dogs with us I asked if I could run the air for an hour to cool it down. I could, but it cost me another 3 dollars extra. I paid the 3 and went to the RV to get changed. I left the door open to get cooler air until the ac had a chance to start working, then changed into a pair of shorts. I had just finished pulling on my shorts when there was a knock at the door. The lady that owned the campground was upset that the door was open and the AC was on and we were wasting electricity (That I had paid extra for). After that fiasco, things went smoothly and we had a quiet pleasnt night. Loads of goats, chickens and horses around. It was a clean and neat campground but I would not go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is centrally located near some of the major attractions that southern Maine offers. We had a very pleasant stay. The facilities may be older, but they are kept very clean. Children have a lot of activities to keep them entertained; volleyball, full basketball court, inground pool, playground, woods, open fields, and nearby beaches (aprox 1.5 miles). This was a great vacation because the children were able to keep busy at the facility so we could relax! There is a good combination of families and retired adults who stay there. One of the most positive aspects of this facility is the owner refers to you by your name, even after check in. I have not had personalized service like that in a long time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground itself is older and in need of some touching up, but was just purchased in May 2002 by a family who is working on that. The campsites are tucked into spruce trees (full hookups are in a field in front of the building). The the S. Coastal area of Maine, there are limited choices unless you want one of the huge campgrounds in Wells. The other neightboring campground Salty Acres actually looks better but we really wanted a full hookup and chose Shamrock. It is very quiet and private and since you are at a destination site, not staying to enjoy the campground, is perfect for the price and convenience to Kennebunkport, Oquinquit, etc. We were very glad we stayed here after viewing the mecca campgrounds off of busy Route 1 in Wells. We camped here in a camper.
