When is the best time to go to Camp Ellis?

When planning your trip to Camp Ellis, the best time to go depends on your priorities, but generally, the summer months from July to August offer the warmest weather and most activities. For those seeking classic beach weather and all the quintessential seaside experiences, July and August are ideal. The days are long and sunny, great for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the ocean. You'll find all the local seafood restaurants, ice cream parlours, and shops in full swing during this period. This is great for families looking for a traditional summer holiday by the sea. If you prefer a quieter experience with pleasant weather and fewer crowds, late May to June or early September are excellent choices. The water might be a bit cooler for swimming in May and early June, but the days are still warm enough for beach walks and exploring. Early September offers a lovely, relaxed atmosphere as the summer rush subsides, but most establishments are still open. Couples often appreciate these shoulder seasons for their more tranquil setting.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Camp Ellis hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Camp Ellis hotel?

Port Inn & Suites Kennebunk, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff was excellent. We had a newly renovated king suite. We tried to use the coffee maker but it didn’t work. We contacted the front desk and they sent someone up right away but they couldn’t get it to work either. They found that three of the outlets were not working. They brought another one up and used a fourth plug and that worked. They also didn’t have a light bulb in the entry light which made it very dark. They didn’t have the right one but I’m sure both of the above will be fixed for the next people who book. We tried to use the car charger but that also was broken. The breakfast was just ok. They gave us a doggie bag for our dog which was a nice touch. It had a dog dish and a couple of dog biscuits. We liked the location and the room overall. It was very quiet which made it enjoyable. We booked Mon - Wed. I’m sure everything will be fixed and we would stay here again because the staff was great!"
