Looks like we'll definitely be at Dixon's Aug 10-14, arriving late on the 10th and leaving early on the 14th. Its a 10 hour drive one-way for us.

I don't know that we will be able to make this roundup, but I agree that Dixon's looks to be the best for our taste. We are more the woodsy type. I'm pretty familiar with the area. We spend a few days every February in Wells. The teacher needs quiet time away from the kids. The location of Dixon's is a little south of the more congested Ogunquit/Wells area. The Rt. 1 traffic can be brutal during the summer months.
Unfortunately I've never paid much attention to the campgrounds when up there, but now owning a TT, we'll be more mindful of them.

I'm good with Ogunquit, ME as the location for this roundup, especially if it means we can have a forum admin in the group. I'd like to tentatively suggest the weekend of Aug 13-14th. We'd probably come up a day early and maybe stay longer or continue up the Maine coast to Bar Harbor after. I can call the campground and see if we can get a group discount. I'd also like to suggest we have a pot-luck dinner and communal fire on the Sat evening. Looking at those campgrounds I would suggest we stay at Dixon's as it seems to have reasonable rates/policies, good location and nice wooded property. Pinderosa looks to be a field next to I95. Beach Acres is no pets, no credit cards, and no advance reservations! Burnette's looks great but they don't accept pets. Wells Beach has nice attractions but is really expensive. Ocean View looks very nice but they have a 4-night minimum to make a reservation. Sea-Vu looks like it has very few trees and is more for bigger RV's. Also looks pretty crowded. I would pick Dixon's first and maybe Ocean View second choice. I spoke directly with Techntrek and he's asking his family up there what they think of Dixon's. What does everyone else think? |

I'd say set a time and place and then let people book a spot for themselves.
If ya'll want to shoot for Ogunquit, here is the list of campgrounds we are considering. They are all between 3 and 7 miles from the center of Ogunquit, the denser part of the town right on the ocean, not where Google Maps puts their little red dot. We chose that town because it isn't far from 95 and its in the southern tip of the state (as opposed to driving another 6 hours to get somewhere on the northern coast), plus some of our family will be staying at a resort in the area which we've received a personal recommendation for (Meadowmere).
http://www.dixonscampground.com/index.html http://oceanviewcampground.com/ (very cheap, $38 per night for full hookups) http://wellsbeach.com (looks very nice but the rates are a little high) http://www.burnettescampground.com (right on the beach and it looks nice, but no rates on their site so they could be very expensive) |

We're interested. How does one go about organizing something like this? Timing would be our biggest constraint, as I'm sure it is with others.

We'll be in Ogunquit, ME with our 'pod August 10-14 for a family reunion. Not sure which campground yet but there are several that look promising.

Can you include us from NJ. We have many attachments to New England and Massachusetts!!! We'd love to get together with other podders nearby.
