    Micro A-Frame Cabin

    Quiet Piece of Peace!

    I’m pretty proud of this A-frame! As a single female - it is QUITE amazing to be able to calm this little piece of peace a joke away from home!

    Micro A-Frame Cabin

    Absolute Gem

    This little slice of peace was well worth the drive! My fiancé and I stayed for just one night and spent the entire time hanging out around the fire or lounging inside the A-Frame. Very very cozy and wonderfully peaceful.

    Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA

    Cabin Sweet Cabin

    My cousins, my husband and our dog rented a deluxe cabin in September, and it was perfect. The cabin provided all of the amenities of a home including linens, dishes, cookware, heat, a/c and even cable tv. Outside we had a small deck with a grill and a fire pit on the ground. It was the perfect place for our group of six to retire at the end of a day of hiking.

    The cabin we stayed in was not secluded in any way. Our neighbors were right next to us on all sides, but it wasn't a problem for us at all. Just something to keep in mind if you're looking for a more rustic experience.

    Hadley's Point Campground

    Pet and family friendly campground BUT crowded and crawling with ticks

    Hadley's Point is a private campground just outside Acadia National Park. This campground prides itself on being family-friendly and welcoming to pets.

    Children are allowed to bike throughout the campground until dusk. While we stayed, there was a campground-wide Fourth of July bike parade. The kids loved it. 

    Pets are welcome but cannot be abandoned in the motorhome when you leave. Plan to take your pet with you everywhere.

    Hadley's Point offers laundry facilities, showers, a heated pool, cornhole, and shuffleboard. While the pool is heated, it is not hot -- or even very warm. But this is Maine we are talking about, and I'm sure that the water was warmer than it would otherwise have been. 

    The campground is primarily designed to accommodate RVs and motorhomes. The large fields and open lots for RVs provide ample parking and the campground offered electricity as well as other hookups. 

    Cute cabins offer cozy sleeping (but no running water) for visitors without tents or RVs. 

    We brought our tent and felt a little like second-class citizens at this RV-focused campground. The tent sites were tiny. Our large van, tent, and screened-in pavilion covered the entire site, leaving very little walking space. Our site also lacked trees for shade and hammocks. 

    Worse yet, the campground has an infestation of Black-Legged Deer Ticks -- the ticks responsible for Lyme disease. We found two on our son during our stay. I hope they treat for these ticks soon because it poses a huge risk to their campers. 

    There is a lot of potential for this campground but they need to spray the grounds for ticks and create more comfortable sites. They could be awesome if they shifted their focus from trying to fit as many people as possible to creating a comfortable camping experience for all. 

    Pros:

    - Heated pool

    - Bathrooms cleaned regularly

    - Laundry

    - Good price

    - Good location

    - Playground

    - Kid and pet friendly

    - Island Explorer Bus stops at the campground

    Cons:

    - Cramped sites

    - Ticks

    - Crowded

    Oceanfront Camping @ Reach Knolls

    Quiet and nice

    Clean, orderly and peaceful. Great campground for small rigs, pull behinds, vans and tents. Water view sites are very limited so book ahead. Sites 12 and 10 offer good water views. Other sites range from secluded to close. A very quiet and peaceful rocky beach is found down a nice path with two metal bridges. Sunset views were great. The CG showers are located at the office with two enclosed outdoor showers and one indoor shower. Hubby used the outdoor shower and thought it was great. Rather than toilets, the CG provides “privies” - basically permanent porta-potties in nice large wood sheds. All were exceptionally clean, but flies can be bothersome to some. The location is very rural so little nearby things to do or places to eat. But that was part of the charm.

    Searsport Shores Ocean Campground

    Ocean camping

    Great campground. Bigger than we expected. Our site looked right over the water. Direct access to Maine's rocky shore. Everything you need to be comfortable including hot showers and bathrooms cleaned three times a day. A basic rec room, playground, beautiful gardens, clean sites. Rvs are so close together and some seasonal snobs, but also tent sites some drive up and some walk to more private/dispersed. Small store friendly staff. Some sites have a wooden deck for picnic area overlooking water. Laundry, wifi, made it an easy week. We had rain and wind a couple nights, tarp went over tent as not permitted in trees. Just fine. We will definitely be coming back.

    Bar Harbor Campground

    Great Location - Close to Acadia NP

    This is a nice campground located close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The campground does not take reservations so you can pick whatever open site you want and if you want to extend your stay, you can. When you arrive, you get a map, find an empty site, get set-up and then go back to the office to register. Once you’re in the park if you want a different site that has a better view or FHU’s, the best thing to do is drive or walk around the section you are interested in and if you see someone packing up put a personal item (chair, table cloth, etc.). Then head to the office and let them know what site you are moving to. Weird system but it seems to work as this is how things have always been done. All different types of sites are available from FHU, electric/water, or privative sites. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There are some sections that are nicely wooded which is great for the shade in the summer and to add a little privacy. Other sites are right on the ocean with great views but these sites are pretty close together and hard to get since the campground is first come, first served. Roads in the park are paved but some corners can be a little tight for big-rigs, best to unhitch your tow car up front in case you have to back up. The camp hosts do a great job of keeping the campground clean and were always out and about cleaning sites, fire pits, and the bathrooms.

    This campground is in a good location right off Route 3 and a short drive to Bar Harbor. There is the Island Explorer (free) shuttle that have various routes and stops on Mount Desert Island and Acadia NP. The shuttle stops at the campground so you can hitch a ride downtown or to the park and not have to worry about parking.  The shuttle has a bike rack so you can bring your bike and pets are allowed.  The campground is very clean with no litter and well-maintained. The bathrooms were very clean showers are 25 cents/5 minutes. There is a really nice large swimming pool perched right along the water, nice little nature trails/dog walking areas, laundry, game room, shuffleboard, playground, water access, arcade, and more. 

    Just outside the campground (within walking distance) is Utter Heaven an ice cream shop and Mainely Meat a BBQ joint. Across the street is a Pirates Cove– a mini golf course on steroids. During the summer season this place is really busy but calms down when kids go back to school.

    Cottonwood Camping & RV Park

    A Wild West experience!

    This campground is absolutely adorable. RV, tent , Treehouse camping to camping out in a Teepee! I surprised my husband with the Teepee- we were not disappointed! A huge Teepee with a very comfortable queen size bed- a couch, table, area animal rugs , coffee maker and a fan if needed. We were asked to bring our own bedding due to Covid regulations - which we did not mind at all. The very clean restrooms were located nearby , which was convient. The staff was so friendly and very accommodating. Sleeping in the TeePee was an incredible experience and we would definitely do it again - so fun! All we needed was a horse- haha! The owner also offers horseback riding lessons and trail rides.

    Lamoine State Park Campground

    Nice park outside of Acadia

    Nice campsites. Clean bathrooms. Wood available on site. Treehouse is fun! Nice hikes around the water. Great place to camp close to Acadia and Bar Harbor.


Guide to Lamoine

Lamoine, Maine offers access to camping options along Frenchman Bay, with elevations generally under 100 feet above sea level and a maritime climate that brings cool evening temperatures even in summer. The area serves as a convenient base for exploring the Maine coast with approximately 25 miles of shoreline spanning the Lamoine peninsula. Campgrounds near Lamoine range from basic tent sites to luxury glamping accommodations with varying levels of amenities.

What to do

Kayaking from waterfront sites: Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA offers kayak launches directly from waterfront campsites. "We could launch our kayaks directly from the site. (If you don't have a waterfront site, there are 2 water access areas that anyone can launch from). The kayaking from the park is very good, with protected access into Mt. Desert Narrows," notes Heather C.

Stargazing on quiet nights: Seawall Campground provides exceptional stargazing opportunities away from city lights. "For stargazers, the short walk across the street to the beach will give you some unbelievable views of the milky way when the night is at peak darkness," shares Kyle R., who visited the campground twice.

Blueberry picking in season: The Bar Harbor Campground offers unique seasonal activities. "Mid July to Mid August free blueberries campside," reports Tammy H. The wild blueberries grow throughout the campground and are available for campers to pick and enjoy during peak summer weeks.

What campers like

Island Explorer shuttle access: Bar Harbor Campground provides transportation options that eliminate parking hassles. "The campground is on the Island Explorer (free) shuttle that have various routes and stops on Mount Desert Island and Acadia NP. The shuttle stops at the campground so you can hitch a ride downtown or to the park and not have to worry about parking," explains Nancy W.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Oceanfront Camping @ Reach Knolls offers marine wildlife sightings from its beach area. "We went swimming at their beach and saw a seal!" reports Michael K., highlighting the natural encounters possible during stays at this less crowded glamping alternative near Lamoine, Maine.

Reasonable firewood pricing: Most glamping and camping locations sell firewood, but prices vary. "Don't buy their firewood ($8), there's tons of bundles being sold on the side of the road for half the price and double the wood!" advises ReJeana G. about shopping around rather than purchasing at campgrounds.

What you should know

Reservations vs. first-come basis: Some campgrounds require advance booking while others work differently. "This is a first come first serve campground. Show up find an empty spot. Pay for it and it's yours," explains Celeste M. about the Bar Harbor Campground system, which contrasts with reservation policies at other glamping sites near Lamoine.

Site quality varies significantly: HTR Acadia has inconsistent site quality depending on location. "My challenge with the KOA is the sites were so close together and it was very crowded. Everyone was really packed in, with no buffer between sites," reports Heather C., explaining why site selection matters.
