My personal pick - Glen Ellis campground, where the Ellis and Saco rivers meet. More of a resort with ballfields, pool, tennis courts, etc, but still pretty spread out and comfortable. They even have remote tenting where you leave your car behind. http://www.glenelliscampground.com/

Enjoy.

So we ended up at Lafayette campground. Checked in on Tuesday the 18th. We were warned there was a bear at the campground the previous few days. This scared the GF. Sure enough, 5am on Wednesday, we had a visitor. The bear was only 10 feet from the tent! I wasn't able to get a picture due to my girlfriend holding on so tight and shaking. She didn't sleep a wink that night. Needless to say, we packed up and stayed at the Indian Head resort in Lincoln the next two nights. Very nice place!! the jacuzzi's, heated pools, indoor/and out, and the 50 inch plasma in the room were very nice!! I don't think we'll be camping again this year. Hopefully we can get out there again next year!

Thanks for all the recommendations!
