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.
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.
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.
Ranger
We had a pleasant stay. The roomy showers were a great surprise!
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.
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.
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.
TravelerHello! I love camping. This is a great vacation for me. I really like to rest in nature. Fortunately, I found the best solution for myself best literature review writing service and these authors helped me a lot. For me, this is an incredible pleasure, but during the session at the university, I cannot do it, I have a lot of tasks. Come experience the charm and convenience of Bar Harbor Campground, where your perfect camping getaway awaits.

Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Lots of Amenities
Cons: Gravel site Not much shade
GuideWe stayed at this campground unexpectedly as two places I was looking at would not accept reservations less than 24 hours in advance. They had availability, offered wooded tent spots, and were affordable as some campgrounds anymore are charging an arm and leg to camp. When we arrived, the girls in the office were super sweet. They had the essentials needed if you are in a pinch, a cute gift shop for the Bass Harbor Lighthhouse (bring your lighthouse passport with you to get stamped here), have coffee/muffins in the morning, washrooms were very clean, laundry, dog park, dog run, small rec center, and pool. Tent sites are nicely wooded and spaced out, so you are not on top of one another. Quiet hours are between 10 PM and 7 AM, and it was so nice to camp in peace and quiet with others wanting the same thing. There are homes close by, but they are fenced off and really are out of sight, so it's not really an issue. The Bass Harbor Lighthhouse is literally 500 feet away. We could hear the bouy ding from our campsite. There are two beautiful hiking trails .7 miles away from the campgrounds: Ship Harbor and Wonderland, that bring you to beautiful ocean views. One of the Acadia Park entrances is 5 minutes away. Southwest Harbor is a short ride away to grab an ice cream or a nice dinner. There is a brand new mini golf center further down the road that is amazing!! The Acadia Mountain trail is not far nor is the Cranberry Island Ferry. This was a prime location to see another side of Bar Harbor, see beautiful sites and avoid the crowds of downtown Bar Harbor. So happy I stumbled across this campground by accident. I would highly recommend and will definitely return!
Guide
I wasn’t super thrilled when we first pulled in, but after exploring the campground it’s clear the folks that run it are campers. It is well planned out and the dachshunds have a blast.
GuideHad a great time early in the season. Dog friendly and quiet.
LegendNo reservations and an awesome shuttle system- our favorite things about staying here.
This campground is huge, and takes no reservations, so it works great for us who don’t like to plan ahead. And also, there’s an amazing free shuttle system, that allows dogs!, that picks you up right at the campground. There are multiple routes you can transfer to and they take you into town or throughout Acadia NP, which is so nice for us as we are in a motorhome with no tow car. Also, Acadia NP allows dogs on most trails! Mind blown.
Campground is great- there is a type of site for everyone. FHU sites all along in a row for those big RVs who like that parking lot feeling, a tent area where you park and carry your things to your camp spot, heavily wooded sites that feel like a more traditional campground, and more open sites where there’s enough sun if you rely on solar. Some sites are just 30 amp power and water, and there are dry camp sites as well. RVs can camp in a dry camp site, but no generators allowed at all (another favorite thing for us!).
Laundry room is huge and clean, washer and dryer are huge and work well and are only $1 each (quarters only).
There’s a dump station. Water at the dump is non-potable but you can fill your tanks at one of the many drinking water spigots throughout the campground, or pull into an empty site, like we did.
Showers were ok, $0.25 for 5 minutes.

Sites were spaced out enough for privacy. We had a site with a wooden platform that was perfectly level. There was a enough tree cover that we didn't get soaked during the rain. We went tent camping, but they had some very nice looking cabins on the grounds.

This is a hidden gem. We really enjoyed this campground and the good people staying there. I would go back and stay longer next time.
We stayed 7 nights in site # 24. We had water & electric and there is a dump station onsite. Our site was waterfront we were right off the beach. The site was level and had some shade. If you have a small camper you can pull in forward and your door opens to the water. I couldn't pull in I had to back in yet having the dinette overlooking the lake was nice. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The lake has 26.5 miles perimeter and a maximum depth of 124'. We had loons come in close to our site. Saw an Eagle too.
We sat our chairs in the water and cooled down everyday and floated on our noodles. Great relaxing place.
The owners Shawn and Margaret do a nice job maintaining the campground and enjoy taking a dip at the swim beach like the rest of us.
There is a playground, a nice area to keep kayaks if your not on the water. There were adirondack chairs along the beach and the nice grassy area overlooking the lake. There are boat docks for smaller boats and some floating docks you can swim out to and enjoy.
There is a small store where the office is and a group bonfire pit every evening many of the people gather there.
There are some seasonal sites some are set up so nice.
They offer a pump out service twice a week which is nice.
The town of Ellsworth has everything you need. Walmart, home depot, the Global beverage store, laundry places, and best of all Martha's Diner. The best eggs benedict with ham. Shawn recommended it. Bangor isn't far either.
There is a vintage/antiques place called Relics that has great finds.
Dorr Lobster and seafood market serves lobster & crab rolls and sells fresh seafood. We bought some cooked, picked lobster meat and made lobster Alfredo for dinner. Very tasty!
Finn's Irish pub is good to. we had a good meal there it's on Main street. My husband had corned beef and cabbage I had Shepherds pie.
We found a great mobile Repairman that fixed our slide out while we were there. It broke the 2nd week of June and we couldn't find anyone to fix it. His name is Chris Burbelo his number is (207) 322-4526. He did a great job it was a cable slide and we'd had the motor & gear replaced before we left florida. It wasn't bolted to the wall correctly & it tore from the wall broke the chains and the cables all went slack. We spent 2 months with the slide stuck in. Chris works at a RV place in service and does side work on his spare time. He did several things for us and did a great job. Worth a million!
Thank you Shawn and Margaret for the great experience and Chris B for fixing our slide out.
Scout
The setup is great, plenty of space. And access to the beach is awesome. We went for a morning swim and swam to the platform. Awesome experience!
GuideMy family and I stayed at this KOA this past week. It was agreat experience! That staff was awesome and over the top accommodating. We had a pull through site with full hook up right across from the on site Lobster Trap Cafe. The site was spacious and comfortable. The whole campground was neat and clean. Staff members pick up trash throughout the day at all of the sites. The Lobster Trap had a good menu, and great customer service. They are mainly open in the evenings but also appear to serve lunch and breakfast on the weekends.
The camp store was well stocked also. There is also an island shuttle bus stop right at the entrance to the campground. There is a gas station and take out restaurant ( Island Take Out) right across from the entrance as well. There was a nice dog park as well. Cell service with AT&T was great. Cell service with T-Mobile was spotty. We did not try the campground wifi. The only down side to the trip was gnats and mosquitos, but that was all over the island and no fault of the KOA. This was one of the best KOA's we have visited and we will definitely stay there again when we visit Acadia.
TravelerBeautiful, quiet location with views of the deer isle bridge and access to walking the beach. Owners are so nice and friendly and accommodating. Sites are mostly private and have space. Very clean.
ScoutHappy Journey I'm like this hiking
RangerThis is a great place to stay if you are exploring Acadia National Park, especially late in the season as I was because a lot of the other campgrounds are closed by mid-October. This friendly site is just a stones throw from the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse right off Highway 102A. Nice campsites even though they are a little close together, but what campsites aren't? Lots of options here from big rigs to tents to cabins. Nice play area for the kids, a laundry, recreation room and large, clean facilities. There are campsites on both sides of the highway.
RangerI'm not rhe biggest KOA fan, but they are very convenient! Great little place to sleep. Of you've been to one, you've been to them all! Lots of spots for big and small rigs. Water and electric hook ups too
ScoutSmall campground but suprisingly quiet tent spot even though they are close and wooded. The shower rooms were a little weird, not the cleanest but much appreciated hot shower. The separate toilet stalls were pretty clean. Bring your shower shoes. Nice staff.
TravelerIt’s farther from Bar Harbor but that’s ok. You get a difference experience away from the busy part of the Park.
