Amazing Campground and Park

We stayed 7 nights here and really enjoyed the campground and surrounding area. We were in B loop, site # B19 we had water & electric hook up. Our site was very private most of them are in this loop were in.  We were across from the bathrooms which the bathroom area has Wi-Fi. Since we were close we had Wi-Fi at our site which was nice. The sites are very big and all in this loop are pull through sites. Big tall trees, lots of song birds and no bugs the week we were there. There is a visitor center onsite and clean restrooms. No showers onsite so come prepared. If you have the senior lifetime National Park pass the sites are 1/2 off. 

Loop A the sites weren't as nice or as big and most not private. We liked the B loop much better.

As you leave the campground and take a left Frazer Point is about a 5 minute drive. Excellent place to see a sunset. There are picnic tables and fire pits if you want to just hang out there. The sunsets were amazing. We had a hard rain at sunset that only lasted a few minutes. When I turned around there was an amazing double rainbow. As it faded it became a big pink dome. We had never seen anything like it. I showed it to a ranger and she asked me to post it on the Acadia NP Hiking group on facebook. I have shared it in this review.  

There are lots of trails for hiking in the park. This part of Acadia is peaceful and laidback. 

Once you pass Frazer point it becomes a one way loop that goes along the shoreline with overlooks and Schoodic Point. Beautiful drive. It's 2 lane so a great place to ride your bike or walk. I believe it's about 5 or 6 miles through the National Park. 

 When you come out of the park there is the Bunkers seafood & Spirits. WE had a lobster roll and steamed mussels. It was good. A little further down the road is the pickled Wrinkle, next door to Me & Ben's dairy Creme. Great Ice cream. There's always a line so be patient. 

There is a small grocery store in town (Winter Harbor Provisions) they had a great selection from meats to veggies. There are a few shops in town yet not much. We ate at Chases it was ok. The mudslides were amazing yet the food was just Ok. 

We drove to Prospect Harbor & Milbridge (there's a grocery (Bayside) in Milbridge too).  Driving 186 back from Prospect Harbor we stopped at a farm that had a little fresh farm stand/store that had a sign out on the road. We bought fresh lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, beets and local honey.  Then we passed a Fresh pie farm stand that had pies and slices of pies and cookies for sale. We also saw a sign for farm fresh eggs and Ray's Meats. Ray's meats was amazing. The best big ham steak, ground beef, Ribeye steaks and more. They cut everything while you wait. It was all so good.
