If you are sticking with the coast, you can start at Kittery (Kittery Trading Post). We stayed a bit away at a CG in S Berwick last year. Moving further up, Saco/Biddeford area. Unless you have kids that NEED to stay near the Old Orchard Beach attractions, I recommend staying at either KOA Saco or Homestead on the River. OOB is only a few miles away.

Freeport and LL Bean and other outlet shopping is a must. We usually stay at the Freeport-Durham KOA along the 'B' row. It's about 5-6 miles to freeport

Booth Bay is tough - CGs are full and the driving can be nasty. We will stay near Portland or Freeport then drive up the few miles.

Next in line is Acadia NP. Lots of CG though we generally stay at Timberland Acres. Most of their sites are huge. It's about 15 miles to Acadia and Bar Harbor (where the parking is next to impossible). There are several other good CGs in the area. Excellant restaurants in Ellsworth

Further up is Harrington. Small quiet CG, Sunset Point. Npt musch except sight seeing. We stay there and enjoy a lobster dinner that the CG owner will cook and bring to your trailer. Last fall, just over 3 pounds of lobster dinner was $28.

Next - Lubec and Roosevelt's Campobello Island summer home, New Brunswick (need a Passport). Not a lot of CGs nearby but the one we stayed in was OK, but we had some heated discussion with the manager that kind of spoiled our stay due to the tight site and their lack of action. Others love it though.

Lots of sight seeing but you do need to trave back roads to get near the shore. Many good restaurants as well - don't miss the seafood

CGs in the South tend to have RVs lined like cordwood and are $$$ plus huge summer traffic
