We chose this campground over the one in Lubec because it was rated higher but upon comparing the two, we moved to Lubec. This park has nice views. The office was not that friendly. Wi-Fi is available for $3 an hour or $30 per month. If we return to the area, we will stay in Lubec. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground, on the ocean or bay side, is fairly roomy. Our site was a little tight to get into due to some rocks and the pier. However, the view was great. Mosquitoes, (yes you're on the water), are hungry! Campground was very friendly and had a "bring your own" food meal one evening. Would stay again, however, not at the site we were on. Other than the backing, the roads and access are very good. Wi-Fi worked well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were on site #10 next to the fishing pier and lobster shack, right on the water. What a view. Seals and porpoises swimming by our window. Check out the surrounding fields for deer. Staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant and lounge were a pleasant surprise, even cooked our lobsters for us! The Saturday night dance with DJ and pig roast were great. Eastport is a quaint seaport town with nice shops. Don't forget to visit the mustard factory. Rate for the site was for 4 adults. Cannot wait to return. Bring your passports so you can hop over to the Canadian islands right next door. Ferry is in Eastport. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV park is difficult to rate. Eastport is a wonderfully laid-back little Maine coastal city and can't be beat for a summer respite in an unhurried corner of the U.S. Seaview Campground could be much more than what it demonstrated during our four-day stay. Our extremely friendly and helpful desk clerk provided an energetic and useful orientation to Seaview and the surrounding area. We were assigned ocean view site S12 (remember this site number) and after a bit of confusion (like how the heck do you enter this site) we got situated. The sites and access roads seem to be laid out without much planning and sites were stuck here and there. The highway entrance was clearly marked, the interior roads are in good shape, but the ocean view sites are not all that level. The ocean view sites are close together, but about the same as the average KOA. The ocean view sites are terraced like auditorium seating, so unless you are in a very low camper, you should have a view of the bay. The ocean view pull-throughs are very long so even 45-footers will have no problem. Now for the ugly. We complained about our 30 amp breaker tripping off at about 25 amps of sustained load. After two days nothing was done. At the same time, I mentioned a leaking water faucet on site S13, it was still leaking when we left. They have a nice little restaurant on-site and the first night we were there, we had a wonderful lobster dinner and dear wife had a wonderful margarita - all served and bar-tended by workcamper, hubby of desk clerk. The last night we were there, the restaurant experience was a disaster. There was one poor guy trying to tend bar, wait tables, and I strongly suspect he was also the cook for about 15 patrons. His margarita was awful. We gave up and ate in our coach. All this was happening while the owner of Seaview, was firmly stuck to his bar chair chatting with his mates. In spite of the premier locale, we will not be back. **>> Navigation note: Do NOT go north on US 1 to Eastport. The road is far worse than any road we encountered on our way to Alaska. Use Maine highway 9 to Calais, then 1 to Eastport.**<< We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was the most expensive campground we stayed during a three week trip, and we didn't even have an ocean-front site. We paid less per night in Bar Harbor! The advertised free WiFi turned out to be a 30 minute free trial that didn't work at all for us. There was no cell phone connection possible and the pay phone was out of order. The sites away from the ocean were very plain - full hook-ups, but just a grassy field. It is definitely not a place for people passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The ocean view is dynamite. You can see the Old Sow from the campground. The Old Sow is the second largest whirlpool on our planet. The Bay of Fundy is there as well. It's a very nice campground with a wonderful staff. The grounds are kept up extremely well. There is great fishing available to those who fish right from their dock. While there I got some great photos of a beautiful bald eagle just sitting in a tree close to the campground. Another time a smaller eagle came down to the dock and sat atop one of the dock post. I spotted a mother loon with her baby on her back as she swam past the dock. That was a wondrous sight to witness. There are whales in the area, and we lucked out and saw a finback from Campobello Island which we visited during our stay. Great place to visit, too. All in all, it's a lovely place to stay. Would gladly go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great view of the Bay, to bad that the sewer hockups are spotted wrong. If you want to use sewer hookup, go into spots the wrong way and run sewer, water, electric under coach to off side. This is the best place in the area for FRESH SEAFOOD, the owner is a lobster fisherman, and the camp worker knows how to cook,,, all the locals eat here.. Needed blocks to get level jacks to level our Rv unit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed the campground. The views were great and the lobster and steamers at Basil's were the best we had while in Maine! We had no problem with the roads or the sites and the people in the office were very helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
From the shore, the park has a beautiful view of the ocean. The ocean view sites are very close together and other campers obstruct your view. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice campground, you have a choice of wooded area, sunny area or water view area the sites are big enough for slides. We were only going to stay 2 days but decided to make this our base for a week so we could go to many of the surrounding attractions and even into Canada. The staff was very nice and helpful, we even had our mail forwarded there and they brought us the newpaper every morning at no extra charge. Really nice park I don't know why the previous reviews had such a problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There is only one word to describe this park but, since this is a family website, I can't use it. You visit it and you make up your own mind, but don't make a reservation until you do. I'll give you a hint: Camping on the waterfront in Indonesia when the tsunami hit would be better. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is so far away from everything until you literally think you are going to
drive off the face of the earth. The owners insist that you pay in full when you make a reservation, and state they will not give a refund without two weeks notice, and no refunds whatsoever after you arrive. Once you arrive, you can see why they have this policy. This campground is one of the worst I've seen in 20 years of camping. The sites are so close together, ingress and egress is terrible, the roads to the "sites" are terrible, and I don't think there is a half-way level spot within 20 miles of this campground. This is not a good place for motorhomes or fifth-wheelers and I strongly urge you to visit it before you make a reservation. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As the good people who run this site keep warning us, be sure to read all the reviews and
get several opinions before making a decision. The folks who run this site also make every effort to keep "shills" from planting false reviews. The two reviews prior to this one, I can assure you, were planted by "shills" or friends of the campground, or the owners themselves. There is no possibility of a difference of opinion. This park has sites all jumbled together with no ingress and egress room, RVs are almost touching other RVs, with little room for slideouts and awnings, sites are unlevel, and it is completely unlike the description. If you feel you must stay in Easport, I urge you to make a one-night reservation, then go see the place. You will probably pull out and leave your one-night fee. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We felt this campground was a real find and extended our stay a week. Their premium sites are down the hill from the office. A number of them front (width ways) on the Bay of Fundy and the rest of the premium sites are terraced up the hill with great views. Long dock into bay for you to tie up your boat. Upper, non premium sites do not have water views. Pull thrus are long and wide and easily handle 40' 5th and toter plus some. Good laundry. OK outside location for modem hookup. Campground has on-site restaurant serving great grilled steaks and lobster dinners (lobsters are
kept fresh in a cage (locked) at the end of the dock. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Probably the nicest, friendliest park we've stayed at this year. Owners were terrific. There is a restaurant on-site. They have a lot of planned social activities throughout the year. There didn't seem to be the stuffiness of the mega-resorts in southern Maine and the Bar Harbor region. Fellow campers were friendly and easy going. The park itself is right on the water. You look across the bay into Canada. The scenery in the area is incredible and there are many points of interest. There aren't the huge tourist attractions of other places in Maine but if you're willing to drive a few hours further you'll reward yourself with a pleasant, relaxing and educational experience. We camped here in a camper.
