Last-minute Reservation

I planned a trip to Acadia National Park only a few weeks out and this was one of the few campgrounds left with available tent sites. Being able to see the lighthouse on the way out was definitely a plus, and the worker in the office was friendly. Bathrooms and showers were clean enough. However, like other reviewers said- the wood provided there does not burn, everything worth seeing is a half-hour drive away, and campsites are basically right on top of each other. There were not even any trees separating the sites next to us, but thankfully no one showed up there. Apparently there is also no one to patrol the grounds at night so bring earplugs or music. We had some neighbors that were extremely loud until 1AM, well past quiet hours that were supposedly “strictly enforced”. I emailed Bass Harbor Campground and was told I should have notified them, but who was I supposed to tell when the office was already closed? Kind of disappointing that we could not sleep and our complaint was dismissed. This place will do but maybe find a place a few months out and go there instead if you can.
