What to do

Acadia day trips: From Timberland Acres RV Park in Ellsworth, you can reach Acadia National Park within 30 minutes. "Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are about an hour away and definitely worth a visit," notes a camper at Pumpkin Patch RV Resort.

Downtown exploration: The Bangor area offers cultural attractions. "You are about fifteen minutes to downtown Bangor which has some good restaurants (we like Timber Kitchen and Bar and Blaze), a casino, and a large outdoor concert venue which has big name musical acts throughout the summer," reports a visitor to Pumpkin Patch RV Resort.

Water activities: Campers at Patten Pond Camping Resort enjoy access to the water. "There is a small beach at the lake where you can swim and kayak (for rent). People at the office are very nice, polite and accommodating," according to one review.

What campers like

Private sites: Some campgrounds offer more secluded camping experiences. "This is a small, wooded campground with large private sites. They are working to improve the campground everyday," notes a camper at Greenlaw's RV Park & Campground.

Convenient locations: Proximity to services ranks high for campers. "Nearby is shopping, a grocery, fuel stations, restaurants and more," according to a Pumpkin Patch RV Resort visitor. Another camper at Timberland Acres RV Park appreciated being "30 minutes from Acadia National Park" with "nice amenities."

Quiet atmosphere: Many campgrounds maintain peaceful environments. "The park is quiet, except for the planes overhead as it is looking located in the flight path for the local airport, but you soon tune this out," reports a Pleasant Hill Campground visitor.

What you should know

Seasonal availability: Most RV parks operate within specific timeframes. Timberland Acres RV Park runs from "Mid May to Mid Oct" while Mt Desert Narrows operates from "May 15 to October 9."

Internet connectivity: Wi-Fi quality varies significantly between parks. "Our Verizon phone got good reception and our hot spot worked well. The campground wi-fi was decent at our site but that depends on where you are in the park and what time of day you are using it," explains a visitor at Pumpkin Patch RV Resort.

Site types: Campgrounds offer varying degrees of privacy and amenities. "The waterfront sites ('300's' section) have great views but are very pricey. Some of the '800' and '600' section sites are cheaper than the 300's and still have partial water views," explains a camper at Narrows Too Camping Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Campground selection: Consider age-appropriate amenities. "This campground caters more to adults and does not have too much for kids to do," notes a Pumpkin Patch RV Resort review. In contrast, Mt Desert Narrows offers "a swimming pool, horseshoes, volleyball, laundry, and bathrooms."

Beach access: Some parks offer water recreation opportunities. At Patten Pond Camping Resort, "The campsite has a nice pond attached," and "there is a small beach at the lake where you can swim and kayak."

Quiet options: For family tranquility, look for secluded spots. "Last site on the deadend road and was very secluded. We loved our stay!" reports a visitor at Greenlaw's RV Park & Campground.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing: RV sites vary in size and proximity. "There is pretty good space between sites so you don't feel cramped or right on top of your neighbor," notes a Pumpkin Patch RV Resort visitor. Alternatively, at Mt Desert Narrows, "The RV spots are a bit narrow, but have a nice firepit with grill and good picknick bench!"

Leveling considerations: Site terrain affects setup. "Our site was a full hook-up pull thru which was perfect for our one-night stay. All the hook-ups were well-placed and we did not need extensions to connect," explains a camper at Pumpkin Patch RV Resort. At Pleasant Hill Campground, a visitor noted their "site was relatively level and we were ok until things dried up and we could finish leveling."

Water quality awareness: Some parks experience water issues. At Narrows Too, "The rust level is high in this campground so I didn't feel comfortable washing laundry."
