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.

Top Camp Ellis Hotel Reviews

Inn at St John Portland In-Town

10/10 Excellent

"Very charming place. The shower is very very small otherwise the stay was 5 stars."

Portland Harbor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, well-situated hotel. Front desk personnel were helpful and courteous. Sean and Simone were so kind in finding us the perfect room to suit our needs. Olivia at the bar in the evening was professional; we enjoyed our conversations with her. Great coffee-nook with perfect additions for a continental breakfast. Thanks to all who helped make our stay so enjoyable."

Hampton Inn Portland Downtown - Waterfront

8/10 Good

"First, the positives: location is perfect for a Portland visit. Easy walking distance to downtown and the harbor. Not far from the interstate. The staff was courteous and helpful when asked, and the property was clean and felt almost new. The negatives: for nearly mid-four figures a night there need to be more amenities. The in-room coffee was Motel 6 grade, and the breakfast as well. On our last morning, for whatever reason, the breakfast buffet, already rather skimpy, was missing many key items — no yogurt, no fresh fruit — and this not even midway through the service. As far as housekeeping goes, we stayed three nights, were away from the room most of each day, but our room was never made up. We did finally ask for some fresh towels and a resupply of tissues, and we are low-impact guests who really don’t need our bed made every day, but I was surprised that there wasn’t even an effort, or at least advance notice that we’d have to ask for housekeeping despite seeing them active in our corridors each day as we departed. I sensed that either the property was having trouble filling staff positions, or maybe they were being squeezed by their corporate overlords. In sum, for that much money I expected a little more, some extra touches that would elevate the experience beyond the basics."

Fireside Inn & Suites Portland

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great little spot- close to downtown Portland (about 15 mins). Very cozy rooms and I loved the hot tub. I want to go back in the summer to enjoy the beautiful patio (my trip was during a cold September weekend). Staff were friendly and helpful and their grab and go breakfast had tons of options."
