Owners and Staff: Nice.
Camp landscaping and surroundings: Beautiful! Right on the water.
Good sites: 8, 16 Bad sites:

Cell Phone Service: Cell service in area.
Clean restrooms and showers? yes. Restrooms and showers need updating? no. Coin-metered showers. Are restrooms accessible from all sites? yes. Additional comments on restrooms and showers: Always very clean, best restrooms so far!
pool, ocean, river, fishing, boating, docks or moorings, recreation hall, playground, camp store, pets allowed; A one hole golf "course". Was fun, but there is no green so it was just driving and chipping. But it was still a blast! The "fairway" grass could have been cut shorter. Lost 6 balls in the tall grass.
What is nearby? restaurants, grocery stores, ocean or lake, nature trails.
Last comments: Overall the campground is beautiful. However it neglets to state that it is a mile from route 1, next to a municipal active airport and active train tracks- complete w/train and very loud whistle. (we called it our "Planes, Trains and Automobiles vacation".) It was very loud, we could always hear Route 1 and the airplanes took off very early. Also, we were quoted one price on the phone and was told a completely different price upon arrival. ($20 per night MORE!) There was a question of "off season" but it only applied for certian sites. AND THE BIG THING which they didn't tell us, is that if you use your credit card it is $5.00 PER DAY more!!! She said the credit card companies charge so much for use of the machine! But per day??? She only swiped it once and it cost me $30 extra dollars. Was not happy about that, and it really bothered me the whole trip.

wow, I am so sorry to hear you had a “noisy” time here. We stayed there and found it to be very peaceful.
I did make note of the small airport on my review, but we didn’t hear any planes early in the AM
(http://www.thatscamping.com/index.php/camping/single2/chewonki-campground1/) or any train noise. I wasn’t even aware there was a train nearby!
