Dixon’s Campground

Les emplacements de tentes sont bien situés et pas trop serré, au milieux des bois.
Les sanitaires sont rudimentaires mais propre.
La douche est à 0,25 $ les 5 minutes mais c’est habituel dans la région.
Le Wifi est gratuit à l’accueil.
Petit bémol pour le dépanneur de l’entrée où il n’y a pas beaucoup de choix.

Very nice campground. Clean bathrooms, especially when I compare them to other campgrounds I’ve been to. Convenient location, only able a 10 minute drive from the beach. Campsites are also nice.

We tent camped here for the first time this (2015) Memorial Day weekend and really enjoyed the experience. We were on site 9 which looked to be one of the best tent sites, very clean and shaded, away from other campers and very quiet!
— The grounds were kept up very nice
— The bathrooms were cleaner than I expected
— The showers were very warm (25 cents per 5 minutes)
— They give you a gate pass to get in and out when you please ($ 5 refundable deposit)
— Very friendly staff
— So close to everything — York, Ogunquit, Kittery
If you’re craving real coffee shop coffee and a breakfast sandwich, head out to St. Joes on route 1, only a couple miles down the road, its amazing!

First impressions were pretty good, as they seem to be very well organized and efficient. The sites were decent, but ours was a little on the small side. Since it was our first time, we didn’t know which sites to pick… but now we have a list of a few favorites for next time. The location was perfect, and we went to both York Beach and Ogunquit. The showers and bathrooms were pretty decent, and they had outdoor sinks for doing your dishes, etc. They also allow dogs, which is nice. We’ll be back next year!

I’ve been camping here for years and years and always enjoy Dixon’s.
Perfect for car camping near one of the East Coast’s best beaches; they have sites for every preference — wooded, grassy, rv. I prefer the wooded sites and they have a number of them with just enough privacy to make you feel like you’ve got your own site., not as wooded and spacious as a State Park, but hey, maybe that’s part of why all the states are broke! Definitely not like one of those European free for all campgrounds where you just claim some space the size of your tent! I was bummed out this year to find that they cleared out a few trees and spread gravel in my former favorite area of the campground, now it’s all gravelly and not comfy and cozy anymore; but it’s only a small area of the entire place.
The bathrooms are just what you need for camping and kept surprisingly clean — quarters for the showers, but it’s like 25 cents for three minutes, just enough to keep people from hogging.
If you bring bikes Ogunquit Beach is only a four mile ride away, and you can save a bundle on parking, skip the traffic, and burn off ice cream cones on the all uphill ride back.
Ma and Pa Dixon and the staff are all really nice and if you want to practice your French there’s always a bunch of Québécois around.

This was not the best campground i have stayed in. It was ok, no loud people, basic security gate like most, but my complaint is about the bathrooms. There is no «bath house» the bathrooms are for both gender and when you walk out of the stall you are outside, kinda like flushable porta pottys with showers on the ends… wasnt really my kinda thing. i have no complaints about anything else, except for the price too it was kinda expensive compaired to other places ive stayed. it is close to everything though which was nice.

We stayed there last Labour Day and had an awesome time. Unfortunately our reservation got a little messed up, and we wound up in the tent site near the seasonal RVers. Loved the campground itself, the amenities, the lovely people who run it, the value, etc. However we found the seasonal RVers to be quite rude and disruptive during our stay. Quiet time is stated to start at 10PM, but they had loud parties until almost 2AM. Nobody wants to hear Bob Marley full blast at 1AM after a day of traveling. When we complained to management the next day we were told that it was an ongoing problem. The management was excellent, apologized profusely and promised to address the issue. The next night we were treated rudely by the seasonals, with comments being made about how they «are the ones that keep the place open.» However at 10PM the owner came by and told them to quiet down and they did. Each night at quiet time we saw the owner patrol the campground, and there were no problems after that. This will not deter us from returning there again, and we plan on spending a week during the summer of 2008. We will however request a tent site well away from the Seasonal RVers!

My husband and I took an overnight trip up to York pretty spur of the moment; we looked online and on the wonderful criteria of «best-​looking-​website» we chose Dixon’s. Made an easy reservation since we wouldn’t be there until around 7 or so, and arrived just a bit afterwards. They’ve got your standard little store with firewood (6 $/​bundle), grill racks, marshmallows and the like, and set you up with a car gate pass so you can enter/​leave whenever you’d like to. Now, it’s been a while since I’ve been camping in an actual campground instead of, you know, in the woods, so I’d never encountered that before – pretty cool and very useful! They also had a pool, and room for RV camping.
The sites themselves had quite a range… some were all by themselves in little secluded enclaves, while others were pretty close with only a cars-​width in between. Fire rings are included, and the bathrooms were decent – very well kept up it seemed, since there were no wads of toilet paper covering the ground. Showers are beautifully hot with nice racks and benches to set things on, to the tune of 50 cents per 10 minutes.
All in all, we greatly enjoyed our night there, making s’mores, talking to the Quebecquois that were all around us, and enjoying a night out by ourselves.
