Over the years, Red Apple Campground has garnered top awards from the Maine Campground Owners Association, the Northeast Campground Association, and the National Association of RV Parks & Campground Owners. In 2017, U.S. News and World Report ranked Red Apple Campground as one of the top 11 family-friendly parks in the United States.
Loving the Maine “Lobstah”!
Guests at Red Apple Campground are just a short drive from scenic beaches, lighthouses, fantastic seafood, and, of course, fresh Maine Lobster. The campground opens in early May and closes in October. The area is so rich in attractions that you’ll be tempted to stay the whole season.

Red Apple keeps things interesting. One of the campground’s most popular perks is the daily “Lobstah Service.” Guests who order a locally sourced crustacean by 10 a.m. will receive the hot, steamed delicacy to their site by 5:30 p.m. the same day. Guests can specify size and quantity when they order.
Adventurers can embark on a Whale Watch boat, go deep-sea fishing, or ride a masted schooner for an old-school nautical experience. Take an excursion on a real Maine lobster boat and see how they are harvested. All of this and more is available right in downtown Kennebunkport, only five minutes from Red Apple.

Shopping and the Shore
Great retail is a key feature here. Kittery outlet malls are only 30 miles south. L.L. Bean’s flagship store in Freeport is open year-round and located about an hour north.
Prefer sandy beaches over sales? With great shores in Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Ogunquit, Wells, York, Old Orchard Beach, Saco, Cape Ellis, and more, you could hit a different beach every day if you desired.
