Best Campground I’ve Seen

This is an absolutely beautiful campground with some tent sides literally on the sound. I woke up every morning to the loons calling under rolling fog. Just beautiful. The campsite strategically spaces sites apart both spacially and with elevation. It’s mostly covered with thick pines so even walking to the bathroom gives the illusion of a hike. The tent sites are beautiful with flat cedar pads built level for your tent(s). The bathrooms are also cedar making them smell amazing. I plan to go back there many times!!

Beautiful sites and close to Acadia NP

Absolutely love this campground! My aunt and I stayed for a week while visiting Acadia National Park. Sites right on the water. Woke up one morning to a bald eagle in a tree next to our site. Showers and toilets on site. Wifi available at one of the buildings where they also sell coffee in the morning. Close to hiking as well as lots of restaurants with great seafood. Would recommend to those looking for a nice campground for car camping while visiting Acadia.

Awesome campground

We had a secluded oceanfront tent site that was absolutely beautiful. We had access to the water as well as some beautiful sunsets. It was 20 minutes to Bar Harbor and the most popular Acadia hikes. The shower house was very clean!

Beautiful site with everything you need

This idyllic campground is set in its own little bay with easy access to the water and stunning sites nestled along its edge. The campground was everything we could have asked for with a spacious tent platform, beautiful view of the water, and clean bathrooms with showers. The grounds also had some very nice hiking trails on them that provide a nice escape from the already very quiet camp.

Perfect

The camp ground was everything I could ask for. Well kept, remote, and quite. We got a great plot right on the water which was great to wake up to and watch the sunsets on. Located in the center of the island, which makes all the spots in Acadia easy to access.. will definitely be back

Fantastic campground, perfect location on Mount Desert Island!

Stayed at site D21. They limit occupants to RVs less than 20’ in length and have about a 50/50 mix of tent campers and small RV campers. Furthermore, about 2/3 of the tent sites have platforms to use for your tent, so it’s very convenient. Facilities are top quality - extremely clean and convenient with quarter-showers. They have a ‘gathering place’ building that is used for information, breakfast / ice cream treats / coffee, and free wifi access if you need to get connected. The campground has amazing water sites right on Somes Sound, but my understanding is that they book fast and are reserved months in advance, typically by the same families who go back year after year (and understandably so!). You can rent kayaks / canoes, etc along with all applicable gear and launch from their “floats” which is a long floating dock in between a few of the sites in the C area of the campground. Absolutely wonderful, loved it!
