Wasamki Springs Campground, Scarborough, ME - Aug 22-25
This was another too expensive, fairly unpleasant campgrounds in an area we wanted to visit. We would not recommend it! It was right under the landing pattern for the Portland airport, so jet noise was frequent. There were many tall oak trees, which dropped acorns, loudly bonking on our roof, startling the cats (& us!). It was full of seasonal occupants. Hard to believe that people would knowingly come back to such a place! Despite the cg, we enjoyed the area.
Places we visited for hiking & birdwatching were Rachel Carson Natl Wildlife Refuge, Natl Audubon East Point Sanctuary at Biddeford Pool, Scarborough Marsh Wildlife Area, & Fort Williams Park. We saw 8 lighthouses along the coast -- Portland Head Light, Portland Breakwater Light ("The Bug"), Cape Elizabeth Lighthouses East & West, Sprint Point Light, Ram's Ledge Lighthouse, Wood Island Lighthouse & Goat Island Lighthouse. New birds we saw in this area include Solitary Sandpiper & Willow Flycatcher.
