The Mount Desert Campground was conceived and created by Marie and Arnold Allen in 1958. The Allen's goal was to maintain a quiet, clean, tenting campground where families could come to relax, enjoy the natural beauty, and make memories. For the next 25 years, the Allens enjoyed a very loyal following of campers who returned here year after year.
In early 1984, the Allens sold the campground to one of those long time campers of almost 20 years, the Craigheads. Now, all these years later, we Craigheads strive to maintain the very best campground we can- so the children of those long time campers from years past can, in turn, make new memories with their kids.
We do not offer lots of frills and gimmicks but we do provide the quietest campground with the cleanest, most up to date facilities anywhere. We look forward to welcoming you to the Mount Desert Campground and we will do our utmost to make your stay a pleasant one.

Guide
Campground is large but very well designed. About half of the sites are spacious but others are more crowded. Very well maintained with cleaning crew in everyday to maintain restrooms and trash receptacles. The campground has access to ocean trails and Cadillac Mountain. No showers in the campground but private showers are available right outside the campground. The park shuttle has a stop at the campground and I never had to drive out of the campground. It was awesome since I visited at the busiest time of the year.
Scout
We thought our camp site was perfect . There was just enough privacy for us. Plenty of trees between us and our neighbors. The showers were easy to use and got hot fast, 5 minutes was honestly long enough. The area was nice and clean. There was even a great view when walking my dog. Acadia was about 16-20 minutes away depending on where you wanted to go. Would definitely stay again.
Legend
We spent 3 nights in Acadia National Park. Our first night was at the Blackwoods Campground and the last 2 were at the Schoodic Woods Campground. This review is for Schoodic Woods.
Before visiting Acadia I didn't realize that the 2 areas of Acadia National Park are pretty far from each other. Blackwoods Campground is on Mount Desert Island and is only about a 10 minute drive to Bar Harbor whereas Schoodic Woods Campground is on the Schoodic Peninsula and is closer to an hour away. I found Schoodic Woods to be more peaceful and more spaced out than Blackwoods. It felt further removed from the usual action of a national park. The sites were large and private. We stayed in a long, pull through site which I honestly tend to avoid because they sometimes feel less private but that was definitely not the case here. Our site had electricity, water hook ups and a fire ring.
The bathroom (no showers) was probably the nicest and cleanest I've ever been to at a campground.
There are several hiking paths from the campground including one that takes you down to the bay which is about a mile away. The Schoodic Peninsula has a ring road which you can drive around and we stopped at Schoodic Point which was spectacular- huge waves crashing against the rocks. The small town of Winter Harbor is also only about a 5 minute drive from the campground.
All in all, I really loved this campground. We had a very peaceful time!
Guide
Quiet and private sites in tent only - some extremely private! Simple clean facilities - no hot water or dish cleaning area. A few nice hikes on this part of ANP (visit the lighthouse but don’t wait for a parking spot…park and walk down .5 mile road!) while farther from most of ANP, all is very easy to get to, not more than 30 min to Bar Harbor. We also stayed 2 nights in Blackwoods and while nice, this campground was more private.
GuideBusy but nice sites-all are pull through- fairly flat and wide for some privacy. Facilities clean-no cleaning station or hot water. Busier part of the park but very central to all - stayed here 2 nights in the RV/non-electric loop and then had a spot at Seawall which was much quieter and private (stayed in tent only on seawall…) short walk from campground to small ocean vista. Also left from the campground to hike Cadillac Mtn South Trail (no pass needed!)
LegendMost private national park camping sites I’ve ever experienced
Traveler
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.
Ranger
Nice and quiet during our stay. Friendly staff and clean facilities.
Ranger
The KOA staff were very friendly and helpful, the facilities were very clean, and the store was well-stocked. The sites were a bit close, but the neighbors I had during my stay would be out and about during the day if I didn't happen to be out and about in Acadia NP or Bar Harbor myself... so that kind of made up for it. The first few nights of my stay was spent in the "Premium" section where we were on the other side of the road from the "Oceanfront" sites--it almost felt like Oceanfront sites when Big Rigs weren't blocking the view. The next 5 nights we were at an "Oceanfront" site, which was really great and worth the extra money to watch the seals, birds, and easy access for kayaking. HOWEVER--despite knowing privacy isn't really something you can find at most KOAs, it was SHOCKING to me the lack of social awareness some people have at sunset. Despite being next to the public oceanfront area (where lovely chairs and tables are provided) people would literally walk to the Oceanfront campsites and stand there snapping photos or just hanging around at sunset, even if my husband and I were sitting down at our picnic table eating our dinners and trying to enjoy the sunset together. (Picture provided [with blocked faces) of just one of the couples one evening standing right next to our firepit... maybe 10ft from where we were setting up dinner on our picnic table.) So... be prepared with how to handle that if it's something you think may bother you, too.

We had a pleasant stay. The roomy showers were a great surprise!
RangerNice little campground. $15/night now and is paid through a slot at the office/restroom building (see pictures).
ScoutIt is nice campground quiet
Ranger
Picked this location because it was close to several locations we could take day trips to the coast.
Visited Bar Harbor, Eastport and several places in between.
Because of those activities, we spent most of our time here sleeping and preparing 1-2 meals a day.
Evenings here were pretty quiet and not much traffic after dark. Bathroom was good but no water or garbage service.
Ranger
Stayed for two nights after Labor Day. Only one other camper in the park and we never saw them but occasionally we could hear a voice. Other than that, it was quiet.
There are about 9 campsites, each with a picnic table, a fire ring and a large camping and parking area for each site.
The best feature of this campground is the view. There is a Lake on both east and west sides of the camping area. Three sites are view of both lakes from the camp sites. I woke up to a view of one lake and my wife saw the other lake from our camper.
The campground has three pit toilets. The large size of the camp sites makes it feel more secluded than it is
We did hear something like a lumber mill operating one morning. Not sure what that was all about.
A Ranger stopped by and visited with us. He then offered us a brochure on the camping area we are planning to visit next. Nice customer service right at our camp site!
Scout
Despite taking place during the period of social distancing, everyone at the SF-160 campsite strictly followed the clearly posted epidemic prevention regulations. This created a safe and comfortable space for everyone. Experience Traffic Jam 3D right now!
ScoutI stayed in a small site, just me and my vehicle. I asked for a quiet spot with elec and the site was perfect. It is basic, but more like what you would find at national parks, which I prefer MUCH MORE. My spot was shaded and level enough to have a tent, vehicle, chairs and table (not provided at my site), and they have a fire ring.
It isnt the usual RV sites that are sterile and squished in like sardines, so if thats what you looking for, this isnt it.
I paid $36 for my night, on par with national/ state parks, but much cheaper than most commerical camping grounds. The area is a little overpriced, so it was nice to stay somewhere reasonable, especially at the end of the season.
THere isnt wifi, my car (ATT) got better service than my phone (Tmobile).
The road is decent, maybe a few spots to watch out for, and they ask you to keep the speed down (5mph) so they are trying to take care of it (or not let it get torn up too much)
I didnt use the shower, but the bathroom was plumbed.
TravelerThe Bar Harbor KOA delivered what it promised, but I am not sure we’d return. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They deliver nicely bagged firewood and have daily garbage pickup. The bathrooms were clean and camp store well stocked. The Island Explorer bus for Acadia stops at the campground. There are rv, tent, and cabin options. Our waterfront site was terrific - gorgeous view, and we could launch our kayaks directly from the site. The fire pit was big and sturdy. There were great sunrises and sunsets. The location is an easy drive for downtown for Bar Harbor, North East Harbor and South West Harbor.
My challenge with the KOA is the sites were so close together. Everyone was really packed in, with no buffer between sites. The 339 - 342 sites were literally bumper to bumper. It is a very busy campground. If you are looking for privacy, this is not the place to go.

ScoutWe just spent 4 wonderful nights here and it is possibly my favorite campground, ever. The campground is relatively new and although they could have fit more sites in here, I am so glad they did not. The sites are carefully designed so that although you might hear your neighbor you likely will not see them. We sleep in our van and also have a tent for storage and changing. Every tent site has electric, and water is available at the bathhouse. There is also a dishwashing station there, as well as trash, recycling, and food scrap bins. There are no showers, but you can wash up in the bathhouse and also heat water at your site for a quick wipe down. That was fine for us for 4 nights. There are some negative reviews on here about the lack of showers but maybe this is just not the campground for them. There are plenty of other campgrounds in the area that have showers. If that's what you're looking for ....
We stayed at A48 and loved it. The driveway is deep, so we felt very secluded, especially at night. The only thing we didn't like about this site is that the fire ring is in the middle of the site. We moved the picnic table to the side and had room, but it did. limit our options for the tent a little bit.
This is a dark sky park so no string lights or anything like that and as a result it is also VERY quiet at night. Very dog friendly and everyone seemed very responsible as far as no barking and picking up after their pets.
At night we drove over to Fraser Point and took amazing photos of the northern lights. Not for the feint of heart, though — it is VERY dark! This is such an amazing campground, I almost don't want to tell you because it feels like a hidden little secret!
GuideWe stayed here for two nights. We had a nice spot on the c-loop.
The spaces are (more or less) private and spacious. The best thing about this camp ground is the total darkness and silence at night. A truly wonderful experience in a world that often is polluted by light.
Close by are two nice hiking trails and a lighthouse. All definitely worth a visit.
We would definitely return.
TravelerWe stayed at Seawall campground for a week. Took me 5 days of being diligently by my computer as the “bank” opened up to get a site. Finally did. Thankfully. However once we arrived, we came in to a 95% at capacity campground with over 50% of the sites having no one on them. And it stayed that way for a week. Booked up, and no one there while others get the shaft. Outside of that, the sites were nice, the rangers were great and the facilities were upkept well. NPS is failing us all with online booking.
ScoutNice little site, great views

This campground was in a good location to access Acadia National Park. Some nice sites, but definitely at a premium. No extra amenities. We were given a site along the highway, and I was very unhappy there. The site isn’t even in the main campground area. I would have stayed somewhere else if I knew that’s where our site was located. No privacy and it lots of road noise. I did not want to sit outside. Our picnic table was in shambles and chunks of the table fell off when my son tried to sit there. It was in usable to us.

Overall, this was a nice place to stay. The laundromat was helpful. The bathrooms were fairly clean. We had a beautiful view from our campsite! Not all campsites had full hookup and we were told that one of the dump stations worked, but as we were leaving, we realized it didn’t.
