    Bar Harbor Campground is the Closest Campground to the town of Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and other points of interest. We offer quality camping, at affordable prices and we accommodate the smallest tent to the largest RV. This quiet, family owned campground, open from Memorial Day to Columbus Day, is perfect for families of all sizes. We are a family owned campground, and our focus is on making your stay a great one. We do things a little differently here. Most noticeable may be the fact that we don't accept advanced reservations. When you arrive, we give you a detailed map of the grounds, and invite you to drive through and pick the site that really suits your likes and needs. Find your spot, get set up, then come and see us in the office. As you can see from the map below, we offer everything you might need for memorable stay, and with Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park close by, we're the perfect choice. Make sure and check our policies page to familiarize yourself with the campground rules. Please note that we do not accept credit cards, but we do take checks, and we have an ATM located in the office.

    Alton, Maine

    I ask that you bring your own firewood! Otherwise, you are free to leave a small donation if you use any of the wood I have on property! I may or may not be on the property during your stay. Featured in MotherEarthNews Magazine! HERE

    WINTER CAMPING: 4 WHEEL DRIVE REQUIRED!! I have bedding but I suggest you bring sleeping bags rated for sub-zero temps as the cabin is NOT insulated. You are welcome to bring a small buddy-heater with you, or, one can be available to rent. The clear panels do act as a greenhouse and the cabin can retain warmth during daylight hours. Read my reviews HERE

    SPRING CAMPING: We like to call this mud season. Along with that comes the emerging of blood-sucking vermin (aka mosquitos and black flies). This is Maine. Please bring repellent. There is a bug net in the cabin to put over the futon.

    SUMMER CAMPING: Please see Spring Camping and then remember that there may be a total of 10 days that the temperatures may be unbearable (but the garden loves it).

    I cannot control the weather. I just provide a super awesome place. I am always available to help make your stay top-notch! Without you, there is no me..

    Please: no check-in's after 8pm! Thank you for understanding!

    The Passadumkeag River down the street offers great fishing opportunities! A short drive to the Penobscot River as well..

    Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is a shirt drive with a few hiking trails.

    Baxter State Park & Acadia National Park are each an hour and a half away (just in opposite directions).

    Searsport, Maine

    Penobscot Bay is the deepest body of water in the Gulf of Maine…and I live at its shores with my husband Steven, father Zaven, a flock of sheep and goats, three hives of honey bees, extensive gardens and lots of space to make art and good food.

    Together we run a family campground that was established in 1965 and steward the land…we provide a place for people to come and relax, wander through the organic gardens, explore the beach and re-connect with themselves and others. We’re proud to be part of the working waterfront of Maine where recreation, fishing and shipping ply the same waters and provide a sense of purpose for all sorts of people.
