Topic: Anyone interested in a NE Roundup? Posted: 15 May 2011 at 9:26am |
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 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.

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.

G4royce, did you make any reservation yet at Dixon's? Did you get any info about a group?
Techntrek, what site do you have? We are very interested and can make reservations any time. We will probably use this w.e. as our jump off for a weeks vacation in NH, VT and the Adirondaks. |

Not sure yet, my father was going to call them today to work out the details and book our 2 sites. I'll let you know when I know.

Ok, now he's ticking me off. He tried to negotiate with the owner's of Dixon's so our extended family wouldn't have to pay the visitation fee when they come in (some are staying at local hotels). They wouldn't budge so he didn't make the reservations yet. He's talking of maybe going to a place we considered earlier this year (Point Sebago, which is on a huge lake about 45 minutes inland from Ogunquit). Very nice place and I wouldn't mind going there, but the decision was made and everyone has been told - family and on this forum. I should have made the reservations myself. Argh!

I feel your pain! We are still open for location if it is necessary to change on your end. Keep us updated. We've been further down east and way up along the NH border inland, but never camped in the southern beaches area. It wil be new to us where ever we park the Pod. W&C

I was gonna call Dixon's tomorrow to make my reservation. I'll hold off until you finalize your plans Tech.

Ok, we will be at Ocean View. The downside for a roundup is their 4-night minimum for camping in July and August. Maybe its a slow year because of gas prices and the economy and if you called them they would allow a shorter reservation, I don't know. When my father called they did say they had more sites available. I will be on site Z. If the 4-night minimum is an issue I understand if everyone wants to go elsewhere. http://oceanviewcampground.com
