“$25, err, $21 picnic”

Reviewed 6 June 2013

As many other reviewers have noted this place looks great at first glance. The pictures are pretty deceiving though, as there isn't really a beach and though the oceanfront section is very nice it was (even at the end of May) basically covered in what looked to be long-term RV rentals. So there's a nice dock, attractive house, trees...and then... More

Problem with this review?

Aaron, Thanks for the flattering things you did say about our beautiful spot! I'd like to take a moment to address a few other things you mentioned. We do not have any long term seasonals at the ocean. They were renting a site, just as you were. We do say we offer tent & rv camping, simply because, we do.... More

“Pricey with rude and unreasonable staff”

Reviewed 4 June 2013

We were initially going to stay the night here. We found the campground cute but pricey (at $59 for two tents and four people). We left our cooler in the campground and went in to explore town for a couple of hours. When we decided that we were going to head further north to Acadia Park, we headed down to... More

Hello, Once again, I can only say that we are sorry you were not happy with a visitors fee & that you feel that 4.00 per person is high, & that you found the owner to be somehow rude. We, the owners, Suzanne & Steve have travelled throughout Maine seeking out campgrounds & looking at their fees. We have found... More

“Great time!”

Reviewed 6 October 2012

We did a lot of research before choosing Gray's and it was everything we hoped for. Our campsite was one of the wooded sites, very quiet with spectacular scenery. Being from Nebraska, we were pretty impressed with the with the whole lobster deal! The bathrooms were just fine and we both found the 25 cents for the shower no problem.... More

We had the best time at Grays Homestead Campground. Just got back and have already booked for next year. It is quiet and peaceful and the scenery is spectacular! Got a photo of the sunrise and couldn't stop taking pictures of everything in view! there is no pool or playground so there is really nothing for the kids to do,... More

“What a delight!”

Reviewed 6 September 2012

We arrived here to take their last RV spot and loved it so much, we stayed again on our way home. They have "primo" oceanfront spots - literally on the harbor complete with walkway to floating dock for fishing. They have a few cottages and spots tucked up in the woods on a hill. We noticed a few spots together... More

Thank You for the lovely & honest review. We'd love to see you back anytime. So glad you liked it! More

“Our first stay here... but not the last!”

Reviewed 5 September 2012

We tent camped here over labor day weekend, and we absolutely loved it. What a beautiful setting, you really couldn't beat it! I loved the beach! The facilities were basic, but were clean and sufficient. We were only looking for basic camping, and it was great for us and our dog. I am very surprised that previous reviews have said... More

Thanks, so much, for your really nice, honest review. We hope you come visit again. More

“Try It... You'll Like It”

Reviewed 19 August 2012

Stayed in the cottage while out kids camped. An excellent week long stay (except for the rain, which Steve Gray doesn't contriol). Staff was extremely friendly, solicitous of our needs and very helpful. Quiet and peaceful, close to the ocean... who could ask for more?

Thanks for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your cottage & the location We hope to see you back here some day soon. More

“Not for tents!”

Reviewed 26 July 2012

We tent camped here for two days and were very disappointed. This was one of the most expensive tent sites we've ever had and definitely the smallest with the fewest amenities! The water on site was not posted as undrinkable but when you filled a water bottle there was very noticeable debris. You had to pay for a shower but... More

As I write this response, we are in the height of our very busy time with new & repeat customers. Our tent & rv sites have been filled for the weekend & we have been receiving many compliments about the beauty of nature here. We do try to keep our place really nice for people. I'm sorry that we were... More

This is our favorite campground! Very quiet, beautiful scenery and lots of wholesome fun for kids in the tidepools! A special thanks to Cindy, Max and Boo for making us welcome!

Thank you, so much for your lovely review! We are always thrilled when young people give us a good rating & want to return to us. We love to hear their excited voices from the shore while exploring all the nooks & crannies. Nice to see them learn about the creatures that live in the tidepools & interact with nature... More

My mom gets one week a year for vacation and we planned a 4 night stay at the campground and paid 142.00 in full for our deposit.

Allyson, again I am terribly sorry about your mother's illness. I did respond to you personally, through this site, about a week ago but have not heard back from you about a refund & getting more information about your cancellation so I may know who, in our office, responded to you on the phone.
