Drum roll please…and the best family campground goes to… Peaks Kenny State Park! Well at this point, we still have a few more to go. This trip marks #10 out of the 12 Maine State Park family campgrounds. We were split on favorites before with one of us on team Lily Bay and the other rolling with team Cobscook, but after this weekend, Peak Kenny has claimed the #1 spot for the both of us; just for now of course.
