Not much has changed since the last reviewer complained about the preponderance of sand spurs a year ago. They are still all over the place. Walk the doggie by the pond across the street and not in the RV park. The grass needed mowing. Park is satellite-friendly. Access and interior roads are in pretty good condition. Easy walking distance to the Boomtown knick-knack and grocery store/cafeteria/giant fireworks store. Cafeteria food was so-so; I'd eat there again so the wife can avoid cooking for a night. Campground is next to a truck terminal with giant floodlights that burn all night: but with the blinds down and curtain closed, it wasn't a big deal. Surprisingly, it seemed to be fairly quiet the night we were there (or I was just really tired). In spite of the long grass and sand spurs, this is a decent stop for the night at the $12 rate. It's on our list for en-route campgrounds to use.

Very nice campground, fast and friendly check-in. Most of the sites are quite large and several of the pull-through sites are satellite-friendly. Interior roads are in excellent condition (gravel) with plenty of maneuvering room for big rigs. There are several signs on the roads clearly directing you to the campground entrance. You can easily tell there is pride of ownership - everything is very tidy here. The only reason I didn't rate this a "10" was due to road noise (I-95 is in very close proximity) and the occasional train. Not a big deal though, we run our AC fan in these situations to drown out the noise. We would definitely return here again. Keep up the good work RVacation!!

We stayed here a couple of years ago and it was okay for an overnight stop, but this place clearly needed lots of TLC at that time. In April 2009, they converted this to a KOA franchise (usually I hear about campgrounds *dropping* their franchise or KOA drops them), so this was a surprise. I was impressed with the positive change that has occurred here - the somewhat confusing and complex interior roads now have excellent signs (desperately needed on our last visit) that make navigation significantly easier. The pull-through sites are only water and electric, but convenient if you don't want to unhook. Everything looked neat and very tidy. The interior roads are either pavement or gravel and what I saw was in very good condition. Check in was friendly, efficient, and fast. We will definitely stay here again! NOTE 1: They are honoring the Good Sam discount for the rest of the 2009 camping season. NOTE 2: Choose pull-through sites 112/113 or those pull-throughs closest to the office for good satellite TV performance. As you get farther away from the office, there is a row of very tall trees that will block your signal (starting around 122 and continuing to site 126.)

NOTE: If you use GPS to route you to this park, it will invariably route through Endicott and under an overpass with 12' 6" clearance! Read the site's web site for an alternate route. Check in was fast and the lady behind the counter was pleasant and friendly. The typical campground map was provided with our site noted and the path to it marked. Unfortunately the map did not represent the current road layout as two roads on the map did not exist. My navigator wife always counts roads to determine where we should turn (this method has worked well for 45,000 miles and over 100 campgrounds to date), since the roads are not there, we missed our turn. I decided to continue on around the loop in the wrong direction and go back out and start over again. Halfway through the loop, the "grandson of the park developer", a fellow who looked to be in his 30s, met us and I thought he was going to give us a little navigation assistance. He seemed very agitated and was talking a mile a minute - it was difficult to get a word in edgewise. When we pointed out the map was in error, he said it wasn't and seemed even more agitated. I recommended to him they could easily prevent future problems by investing $20 in signs with arrows directing you to certain site numbers, but he was clearly not interested in listening to customer feedback. After a few minutes of dealing with him, I was concerned that he was going to have a stroke or go totally weird on me. It would be in Pine Valley's best interest if this fellow is prohibited from interacting with their customers. The middle-aged man (apparently the campground owner and father of our stroke candidate) admonished us about going 10 MPH and not 5 MPH in their office/entrance area - this was not even inside the campground! Enough about our "welcome to Pine Valley." The entrance to the park was easy to spot with a large sign. The entrance road was in fair shape with plenty of parking room for big rigs. The interior roads are dirt with lots of large rocks and in most places, quite rough. With rain, the roads are a muddy mess, without rain, the roads are a dusty mess. There are several seasonal trailers and 5th wheels here, some of which are quite junky looking. The sites are good-size, mostly on grass, and most seem level. We had a *really* strange feeling about this place due to the two people we dealt with - almost like we were part of a Steven King novel. Even though we have family in the area (and close-by), I will never use this campground again thanks to our 'warm' reception.

Very friendly and helpful owners - we felt very welcomed here. Interior roads are sand/very fine gravel and in excellent condition. Plenty of maneuvering room for our 40' coach. Some of the campground will have an inch of standing water after a heavy rain, so have waterproof shoes/boots available. The campground, with only about 50 sites, has enough real estate to install another 200 sites! Sites are all back-ins with a nice concrete patio at each. The primary clientele of the campground are seasonals and the primary attraction is fishing and crabbing. As such, there were only about four or five sites available for transients, with the rest occupied by seasonals. None of the sites are right on the river, but it isn't far away and you will enjoy the river-view ambiance. There is a long pier available to sit and ponder, or fish/crab as well as a boat ramp for your use. Campground is very satellite-friendly. We will use this campground again. Campground entrance is N 35.16276, W 76.69325.

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.**<<

The density of this place reminds me of my days of living in an apartment complex - people packed into almost every square foot of the property. If you want to find a large grassy area to walk your dog, good luck. As others have mentioned, it is extremely well maintained (and has great interior roads) but it has the ambiance of a college apartment house on a Friday night (continuing with my previous metaphor.) There are large numbers of seasonal sites here. This park began life as a KOA, so that will give you an idea of its design. Most of the park is NOT satellite friendly with its preponderance of trees, but the cable TV was quite good with channels up into the 90s. Wells Beach itself is crowded and parking at the beach is almost non-existent. My advice is to skip this place, and I'd also skip Wells Beach if you can.

We usually don't stay at KOAs due to their premium expense and the fact that most KOA sites are usually a little on the small (as in narrow) size, but once in a while we make exceptions to our rule. We spent a couple of night here due primarily to their good ratings and it seemed to be the best campground in the area. The campground entrance is a little hard to spot, and I'm glad I used a lat/long for our GPS navigation (entrance is N 43.659020, W 72.387496). We were promptly greeted, check-in was easy by a friendly and accommodating counter person and we were escorted to our site. The access road was in good shape as were interior roads. We are 40' long and I found the interior roads provided adequate maneuvering room. It rained lots here recently and most of our curb-side patio area had standing water which made it a little interesting. We wanted a site with a clear view to the south for our satellite TV and satellite Internet and they gave us #7 which had a good view for the Datastorm dish (83W) and DirecTV on 101W. This is a nice RV park and the cost was about average for the area. We would definitely stay here again.

A pristine and simply wonderfully intimate campground (it sits on less than five acres) on the Moose River (as you might imagine). Interior roads are good, sites are level, and most of the river-front sites are actually quite spacious (contrary to a prior review.) Only two sites are 50 amp, but the 30 amp power at our site seemed to be quite good. There are dozens and dozens of channels available on their cable TV ($3 a day extra) and the picture quality was quite good. The free WiFi signal was strong and the speed was good. There are fun activities (for adults) every weekend and the owners live on-property and are very involved in making certain everything looks good and works properly. The only reason I didn't give this place a 10 was because it didn't have 50 amps and concrete pads at all sites. We were here originally for two days but extended for two more days because we enjoy the place so much.

Expensive and if you stay a week or longer, they expect you to pay for electricity (nobody told us this at check in, but we got a phone call hours after we left expecting payment for $32 worth of electricity.) Speaking of electric, we had 30 amp but the breaker would blow with a sustained load of 25-28 amps. We told our Energy Management System we had 20 amps available, and we didn't blow the breaker after that. All power pedestals are at the *very* rear of the site as is water (you better have extensions). No telling where your sewer hookup might be located. The sites are large and ours was fairly level. If spite of this park being rated as "big rig" access, that pronouncement is very marginal (we are 40'). We complained about low hanging limbs on check in and they did get busy and trimmed a bunch of trees. When we left, it was *very* slow going around the campground loop to leave due to *very* tight radius curves. The primary clientele for this campground are local/regional 5th wheels, travel trailers and tenters. There are quite a few seasonal trailers/5th wheels permanently in place here. The pool looked well-maintained, and the grass was nicely mowed.

Additional charge of $3.50 if you want to use your air conditioner. The power at sites 4 and 5 were poor with voltages of 108 under full load. We had to use our Hughes autoformer here (like we do at a lot of old parks in the Northeast.) Our site was not very level. Road into the campground in very poor condition as were the interior roads. Tree limbs need pruning. The visual appeal of this park is very poor with many junky seasonal campers that look like they haven't been moved in years. Some sites will have a clear view to the south for satellite, but you will need to walk around and look for one. This is a *very* tired old park that is in dire need of some TLC and capital improvements. It is highly unlikely we would ever stay here again.

An okay place - not a destination RV resort, but simply a nice little campground in a fairly remote area (remote means *NO* Wal-Mart). The 20 or so pull-throughs easily accommodated our 40' with toad. Check into the restaurant when arriving. A side trip to Ruby is recommended as a good example of an old mining settlement (not a good trip for a sedan - 4WD *not* necessary, but truck/Jeep/SUV would be preferred.) The restaurant was fine - our Saturday night special was prime rib and it was pretty good. Unlike the previous reviewer, I don't think there are a lot of activities in the area. The little town can be easily 'done' in a couple of hours or less. There is a wildlife viewing area which we didn't use. If you are into exploring the back roads, this is a trip for you and this campground will be entirely suitable. Lat/Long for the entrance is N 31.593889, W 111.300914.

It's a fairly popular place for snowbirds with a monthly rate of about $260 including electricity. There are not that many 50 amp sites. If this place was full, it would be a little tight, but I'll guess it was maybe 60-70% full in the peak of the season when we were there. We could pick out our own site in the "C" section, so we didn't have any space issues. It's an okay place, out in the boonies and pretty quiet at night except for the coyotes howling and yipping and the burrows braying. The sounds of the country don't bother us - we much prefer the critter noises to trucks and horns. This is a pretty laid-back place, so don't expect a four-color park map or an escort to your site :-) The little casino on the property (and gas/diesel station/convenience store) had maybe 50 slots and the payout seemed extremely stingy - we left after spending a total of $12 in the 2 cent slots (no penny slots and the minimum bet I think was 40 cents) over a 15 or 20 minute period. (We're NOT big gamblers and do not go out of our way for this activity - die-hards might love this place.) Latitude and longitude for the driveway entrance to the little casino is N 32.243406, W 112.726928 (the RV park is set back to the East of the casino - look it up on Google Earth).

Good signs made this easy to find. Friendly, attentive service. Escorted to our site. The premium sites are very nice and some are quite large (and most are satellite-friendly.) Overall maintenance very good and trees are trimmed. Lots of seasonal campers here, but plenty of non-seasonal back-ins and pull-throughs available. Playground for the kids and picnic pavilion available. As a bonus, they are a Passport America park so we paid $18 per night for three nights. Overall, a fine place to spend a few days.

Very convenient to I-80. Well marked and easy to find. Extremely long pull-through sites with plenty of maneuvering room. Friendly owner, well-maintained, and satellite-friendly. Some highway and very occasional train noise, but not that noticeable or objectionable in a closed up coach.....Great overnight stop.

Park is only one year old. Friendly park host! They have monthly rates and take AAA/Good Sam. They have a Jacuzzi, sauna and seven private restrooms with showers. Sites are back-in with good maneuvering room and are long enough for a 40' coach with toad. Gravel roads. Sites fairly close together, but this is very typical of commercial campgrounds in the area (reminded me a lot of Alaskan campgrounds.) Very satellite-friendly which means don't look for shade trees! GPS: 37.8052° N, 107.6672° W.

Pull-through sites are too close together - in our area the sites were about 20' wide. Site not that level. The young man at check in assigned us a site near long-term campers - we really enjoyed being awakened two mornings at 6 AM when the fellow started his truck to go to work. Why he put us near the perimeter with the long-termers is a puzzle since there were plenty of other spots available. I haven't figured out their landscaping - they have some nice landscape beds, but the rest of the place looks unkempt in terms of grass and weeds. This RV park is OK - not great, but OK.

Simply a wonderful laid-back campground with the longest pull-through sites we have ever seen in 35,000 miles of camping. The pull-through sites must have been 100' long. If you want a place to stay close to Clear Lake, this is the one!

Former KOA. Pull-through sites are long enough for our 40' coach and Jeep toad without unhooking, but a little on the narrow side (like the usual KOA.) Grounds are well maintained and there is a nice treed picnic area complete with tables and grills. There is a pond on the property and a small playground for the kiddies. Most of the sites are satellite-friendly (something we always look for) which means no trees for for many of the pull-through sites. This is a great stop while traveling (immediately North of I-80 @ exit 342) or spend a couple of days here and picnic under the mature trees. The entrance is well marked and is extremely easy to spot the campground right after exiting the Interstate. We would stop here again for sure.

There isn't much going for this place. I suppose it is somewhat better than a truck stop due to electric/water hookups (and mowed grass), but it would be a close call on spending $28 here or listening to idling trucks at a truck stop all night. (This place was worth at the most 10-12$ a night.) Things got off to a questionable start when I walked into the lobby of the motel to register and almost reeled from the sour, musty smell. This place smelled like a house that has been closed up for ten years. After dialing "0" on the lobby phone to summon a person (the lobby was completely unattended I suppose due to it being lunchtime), things really got interesting when I tried to communicate with the front counter person. His poor command of English made it extremely difficult to communicate. We did manage to complete the registration process but asking a question and expecting to receive an answer I could understand was completely pointless. Finally I heard something that sounded like "go pick out a site", so our registration process was finally and mercifully finished. Driving to the rear of the motel where the 'campground' is located brought us a vista of seemingly randomly scattered water/electric pedestals over a large area of grass with no apparent order. Only a few (maybe six or eight) pull-through sites in the center were obvious in their orientation and most of these were occupied by long-term campers. This was 'free-form' camping at its finest ;-) We drove around and found a place where we didn't have to unhook the toad (we are 40' plus towing a Jeep) and we could easily leave going forward. Leaving gets interesting: When we were ready to leave, I started hunting around for a dumpster or trash can and could not find one. I finally resorted to depositing our bag in the small trash can placed by the lobby door completely filling it up. Oh well... Wanting to dump (at least they had one) meant we had to pass through two large evergreens guarding the exit. We are 8.5' wide, the exit was about 6.5' wide (no kidding!) I had to hold up a tree branch as far as I could while my wife drove through. Even at this, we still couldn't completely clear the trees. The dump was interesting - it is an open 6" pipe coming up an an angle in a concrete slab. At least somebody placed a large broken chunk of asphalt paving over the pipe to keep the neighborhood critters out. The only reason I didn't give this a "1" instead of a "2" was the grass was mowed. Do yourself a favor and keep driving by I-80 exit 46.
