A Kennebunkport glamping resort has been sold to a national company.

Streamside RV Resorts and Campgrounds on Wednesday announced its court-approved purchase of Sandy Pines Campground on Mills Road in the coastal tourist hub.

It’s the company’s 40th acquisition across 17 states since it formed in 2023.

“Our team has admired this property for some time, given the immense charm and draw of the Kennebunkport area,” Jen Milam, chief growth officer at Streamside RV Resorts and Campgrounds, said in a statement. “Sandy Pines is a beautifully done resort in a fantastic location, and has become one of the premiere camping resorts in Maine. We are dedicated to preserving its deep ties to the local community, honoring its unique coastal character, and ensuring it remains a premier Northeast outdoor destination for generations to come.”

Sandy Pines has been going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy after narrowly avoiding a foreclosure sale in March.

The campground features 83 RV sites, 46 tent sites, 66 glamping sites, lodge, general store and snack bar, heated saltwater pool, bathhouses, playground, laundry facilities and more.

Atlantic Hospitality will continue to manage the park until the end of the 2026 season.

“We are incredibly proud of what we built at Sandy Pines, and finding the right steward to carry its legacy forward was our highest priority,” Justin Grimes, managing partner of Atlantic Hospitality, said in a statement. “From the beginning, our goal was to create a place that celebrated the spirit of coastal Maine and fostered lasting memories for generations of guests. We are confident that Streamside shares those values and will continue to build on the strong foundation that our team has established.”
