    Quietside Campground

    Quiet

    We stayed here one night in mid September in a non electric site. Quiet place. Cute cabins and hobbit huts! The bath house we went into had one shower for the men and one for the women. The toilet and sinks were combined into one stall with 2 stalls for the men and 2 stalls for the women. Nice owner and we paid less than for a comparable site at a Maine state park.

    HTR Acadia

    Quarry Ledge Campground by Modern America

    As of 9/25 address is not in Apple Maps, we had to enter Somes Sound View Campground. Nice campground, sites are nice size, fairly private and mostly level. Our site has water and electric on the wrong side. Excellent shower house.

    Duck Puddle Campground

    Great waterfront sites!

    We love coming to Duck Puddle in the shoulder season (spring and fall) when it’s quiet. The waterfront sites (61-66) offer direct access to the lake and have trees between the site for a more private feel. Some have a private dock for fishing or sitting, others have a small beach area. The lake is great for swimming and paddling.

    The rest of the campground is more busy and has the sites closer together, which isn’t our scene. Lots of fun stuff for kids to do and evening activities if you like that sort of thing.

    Balsam Cove Campground

    Great place!

    We stayed here one night in September in a Tuesday. Quiet, very few people. Had a non electric site without water and paid the same price as the state park in Camden. This place had much nicer showers and bathrooms. Would return!

    Hadley's Point Campground

    Nice looking park ! clean

    Nice site one of the more expensive campgrounds in the area. Polite staff I asked if I could rinse off the front and back of Airstream as they have dusty roads here. The said no not even without soap. I asked no we are on a well. First time I was told no in two years of travel . Even in upscale parks most let you rinse the bugs off

    Not a real complaint just a note .

    Meguniticook by the Sea Campground

    Overpriced!

    Corporations are buying up the private campgrounds and charging ridiculous prices. The three around Campden, ME have 4 day minimums making the most basic RV site $ 225 to $260 per stay.

    Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA

    Great choice

    The Campground offers basically everything that’s needed for a good experience. There are kids amenities and activities, there’s a shop inside of the campground with a little of everything you might need. We rented a site next to the ocean, and it was great!

    Jo-Mary Campground

    Yea, beautiful location, but overpriced & lacking

    They charged us almost $400 for two tent sites, for two nights.  They are clearly resting on their laurels, need to hire more help for peak periods, be in the office when they need to be available and answer their phones and return phone calls, and also need to check for garbage left by previous campers and have their port-a-potties emptied way more often (gross!)

    If you can get past the price gouging and lack of attention to detail, the place IS beautiful and enjoyable.

What to do:

  • Hiking: Explore the numerous trails in Acadia National Park. One camper mentioned, "The southern ridge trailhead for Cadillac mountain leaves from the campgrounds and connects to a bunch of other trails," highlighting the convenience of hiking right from your campsite at Blackwoods Campground.
  • Wildlife Watching: Keep an eye out for local wildlife. A visitor at Seawall Campground noted, "Many other reviewers have reported seeing Moose near or in the campground here."

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms. A visitor at Schoodic Woods Campground remarked, "The bathrooms are clean and look nice inside."
  • Quiet Atmosphere: Many enjoy the peaceful environment. A camper at Seawall Campground shared, "The best thing about this campground is the total darkness and silence at night."
  • Spacious Sites: Campers often mention the generous spacing between sites. One reviewer at Schoodic Woods Campground said, "The sites are carefully designed so that although you might hear your neighbor you likely will not see them."

What you should know:

  • Reservations: Some campgrounds require reservations, while others operate on a first-come, first-served basis. A visitor at Bar Harbor Campground noted, "This campground is huge, and takes no reservations, so it works great for us who don’t like to plan ahead."
  • Limited Amenities: Not all campgrounds have showers or full hookups. A camper at Schoodic Woods Campground mentioned, "There are no showers onsite so come prepared."
  • Wildlife Caution: While wildlife is a highlight, be cautious. A visitor at Seawall Campground warned, "We did see dozens of deer... by far the most wildlife of any of the three Acadia campgrounds."

Tips for camping with families:

  • Family-Friendly Activities: Look for campgrounds with amenities for kids. A reviewer at Smuggler's Den Campground said, "The playground was great for the kids. The swimming pool was a highlight as well."
  • Quiet Hours: Be mindful of quiet hours to ensure everyone has a good night's sleep. One camper at Hadley's Point Campground noted, "The only problem was kids running around during quiet hour."
  • Plan for Meals: Bring easy-to-cook meals or snacks. A visitor at Mount Desert Campground mentioned, "The camp store has wonderful provisions including homemade bear claws in the am to enjoy with coffee or tea."

  • Check Site Sizes: Make sure your RV fits the site. A camper at Schoodic Woods Campground advised, "Choose your site carefully if you have a large rig."
  • Dump Stations: Know where the dump stations are located. A visitor at Hadley's Point Campground mentioned, "The only negative was lack of enough sewer necessitating a $12 pump out."
