Mainstay Cottages & RV Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available at Mainstay Cottages & RV Park, a small, drive-in property on the water in Winter Harbor, Maine, running from May through October. The park has just nine full-hookup RV sites, each with electric, water, and sewer connections, and accommodates rigs up to 50 feet. Sites are on the smaller side, which reviewers note consistently, so larger slide-out setups may feel tight. A dump station, drinking water, and pet-friendly policies round out the practical amenities.

The location draws most of its appeal from proximity to Acadia National Park's Schoodic Peninsula, reachable in roughly five minutes. Schoodic Woods Campground - Acadia National Park sits just over a mile away for campers who want a comparison point or need overflow options. The park backs up to Winter Harbor itself, and Mark C. notes it is "located on Winter Harbor, great views." A small ferry nearby connects to Bar Harbor, and a few restaurants are within walking or short driving distance.

Crowding is not a significant concern here. With only nine hookup sites, the park stays quiet, and multiple reviewers specifically mention the low-key atmosphere as a reason to return. WiFi is available but has drawn mixed feedback, so campers relying on connectivity should plan accordingly. Cell service details are limited in reviews. Those looking at camping near Winter Harbor will find this property well-suited to RV travelers who want full hookups, easy Schoodic access, and a smaller, less congested setting than the main Acadia campgrounds.

A small, well-maintained RV park with only 9 sites offering peaceful harbor views and proximity to Schoodic Peninsula. Many guests appreciated the quiet location and cleanliness, though sites are notably compact.

Beautiful and pleasant

If you’re looking for a camp site close to Acadia without the crowd, look to MainStay in Winter Harbor. About an hours drive to the main Acadia but just 5 minutes to the Schoodic Peninsula.

A Small Gem

Very small RV site. Located on Winter Harbor, great views. Steps away from the small ferry that goes to Bar Harbor and a few minutes to Schoodic Peninsula. Couple of nice restaurants close by. Owners are very nice.
