Mount Desert Campground

This campground is beautiful, in a great location and perfect for tent, camper van or very small trailer camping. 

We stayed on two sites due to the availability of the waterfront site we wanted.

The first night we were on site C29. This site was OK, it had water and electric, was level and easy to park a small camper on. The site also had a view of the ocean across the street and down the boat ramp. With that said, the site wasn't as private as others as it was on a corner

The next two nights we stayed on site B7. this site also had water and electric, the site was private and had a tent platform. There was a nice view of the water and direct water frontage, the water access was pretty steep so you probably wouldn't be launching a kayak or swimming from it, but probably could cast a fishing line if you wanted. Most of the waterfront sites can not accommodate a trailer so we lucked out with this site. It appears sites B5 and B6 could also accommodate a small trailer. 

As for the rest of the campground, it was very well maintained, bathrooms and showers were always clean, campers were quiet and respectful. 

The gathering spot is a good place to grab a coffee or pastry, I just wish they had a small camp store for supplies. 

Proximity to the main attractions at the park and Bar Harbor was also great.
