It's called Hid n' Pines right in Old Orchard Beach. We have been staying here for the past 5 yrs. I love the place but there prices have sky rocketed since we first started coming here . For a family of 4 they were $55.00 a night 5 yrs ago. Now they are $75 a night and thats just for two people, each child is another $5 a night and the dog is $2 a night. So with two kids we payed $87 a night. Kinda high but considering we are in walking distance to the beach and attractions it is still well worth it. Especially when I have friends that come up every year with us and rent a "SMALL" cottage for $1950 for the week! The $87 a night doesn't seem so bad. 
Many years back and with a couple kids, we would stay at a small family owned CG outside of Saco on Rt 5. It was then a working farm with fresh corn and other veggies for not very much. I recall the rates as we had a reservation Bayley's the first time in OOB which wasn't honored. We ended up 10 minutes away at Homestead - then went back for several years. That rate then was a whopping 6 bucks a night, water and electric. Just looking at the ad on the net, still not too bad at $40-$45 a night and new owners vs the OO Beach area. I also stayed there myself two full summers when I was working on a power plant project.
That entire area is a great place to go though OOB area gets a little raucous now for me but even now if we go to Maine, will usually spend a day on the beach.

It is an outdoor kitchen. I use it all the time. It is equipped with a fridge and sink. It comes in handy so the kids can keep their drinks in the fridge and are not constantly going in and out of the camper.

Thanks! That hitch seems really nice too. I love having the ability to tow 3 different types of trailers if needed.
Thanks!
Problem is the camping bug has been around forever, we've just been mooching off my parents when we take the kids to places. Can't wait to start planning trips to the local parks and maybe start extending our range in a couple years when the kids are a few years older.

Thanks, Roy. The 5th wheel has seen better days. It is 29 years old. I spend more time fixing in it than we do using it.
The hail took out two skylights and a side window and frame popped out on the way home today. So, the offending holes are covered with contractor trash bags.
