    Red Apple keeps things interesting. One of the campground’s most popular perks is the daily “Lobstah Service.” Guests who order a locally sourced crustacean by 10 a.m. will receive the hot, steamed delicacy to their site by 5:30 p.m. the same day. Guests can specify size and quantity when they order.

    Adventurers can embark on a Whale Watch boat, go deep-sea fishing, or ride a masted schooner for an old-school nautical experience.  Take an excursion on a real Maine lobster boat and see how they are harvested. All of this and more is available right in downtown Kennebunkport, only five minutes from Red Apple.
