Oh, the colors!! Also, probably the largest "Tent" site I've ever been on
Acadia is a fantastic national park and really not that large. Although these are some huge campgrounds and the sites are huge allowing you to be pretty spaced out from your "neighbors". We stayed on one of the non-electric tent sites (B134) on the back end of one the "loops" and were nestled right into the woods with no one right by us. I really can't believe that more people don't come and camp in the fall, yes it's a little cooler, but that's nothing a good sleeping bag and a nice fire can't fix. However, there was almost no one around and we had so much space to ourselves. The park is probably great in the summer for doing some extra biking, hiking, kayaking, but the fall is just as nice, plus you get to see the amazing colors as the leaves change. Got to setup and have a nice lunch and then explored the park, amazing just driving around and seeing the colors and stopping for a few hikes and to see the sights. Came back to had dinner on the nice picnic table, used the clean and seemingly abandoned (not by the staff, but no one else but use seemed to have used them) facilities. Then got to experience a wonderful northern rain storm... You get to see a photo of the last time I used my tent (I've had it almost 15 years) and even though I had just redone the waterproofing (again) it gave out right around 4 am and the rainstorm wasn't just outside our tent but also in... Thankfully you do get to park right at your site, so we spent the rest of the early morning in the car and then decided to try and see if the storm broke and we could get a glimpse of the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain and then explore more of the wondrous park and the beautiful foliage.
