Meadowbrook Campground

Midcoast Maine


In Phippsburg, this friendly campground sits on Beaver Pond and is well located to take advantage of pretty Popham Beach further down the peninsula. Facilities are good (heated pool, nature trails, camp store), though you'll be sharing the grounds with many RVs. Rustic cabins are also available.
