    Schoodic Woods campsites are reservable up to 2 months in advance at 10:00am EDT. There are no first-come, first-serve sites. All campsites are by advanced reservation only. Schoodic Woods is located in breathtaking Acadia National Park on the Maine coast. Located on the Schoodic Peninsula, this campground is 1.5 miles (2.5 km) southeast of Winter Harbor. It is approximately 60-70 minutes from Bar Harbor and the main section of the park.

      Schoodic Woods Campground — Acadia National Park

      Quieter Area of Park

      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!

      Bar Harbor/ Oceanside KOA Holiday

      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.

      Outrageous pricing under new ownership

      Pay no attention to any reviews that are a year older as there are new owners now. The prices have tripled and there are 7 pages of rules you have to sign off on!! This campground has lost its personality! The previous owners were fantastic and extremely accommodating. New owners are invisible and everything is automated online and pricing is ridiculous! This used to be a very busy place but not anymore! I hope the new owners figure it out before it’s too late!

      Great location, super crowded

      The 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.

      Get comfortably back to nature at Schoodic Campground

      We 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!

      Good option to access Acadia, but some downsides

      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.

      Perfect for Retirees and Couples Near Acadia

      The location of this campsite couldn't be better. It's just a short drive from Acadia National Park, Ellsworth, and numerous other hikes and coastal attractions, making it a perfect base for exploring the area.

      However, I would primarily recommend this campsite for retirees and couples without children. The park doesn't offer many kid-friendly amenities beyond the pool, so families with young children might find it lacking in entertainment options.

      On the upside, the serene and tranquil atmosphere is ideal for those seeking a peaceful getaway. The facilities are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty of the region in a convenient location.

      10/10 experience!

      The owners were so incredibly nice and helpful! They not only surprised our girls with picks of their own antique dolls on arrival but they gave us their own brochure with hidden gems all around the area. We got to hike some of the best spots without the crowds and even got to catch starfish at a spot nearby. The sites are a bit crowded but the view we had more than made up for it. We will 100% be returning!

      This Campground Has A Drinking Water Issue!

      The two staff encounters we had were friendly and the staff had a desire to please. The grounds were pleasant. We visited when there were not a lot of campers and the weather was dry. Two of the four clothes washers were inoperable. We did not use the washrooms or laundromat. Upon arrival we were advised that the recent hurricanes caused water issues, but that the water was tested daily and everything was ok. During our set up process the water that came out of the tap was terrible & disgusting (see photo). We talked to the office and demanded bottled drinking water and that the poor water quality from the faucet be addressed. After 'checking with management', we were allocated two gallons of bottled water per day. Staff later stopped by in the process of flushing the water lines in our section of the campground and ran the water until it was acceptable(but not totally clear). Our water problem, was reportedly a new problem, not the hurricane problem. Bottom line after reading other reviews, some from a year or two ago, MT DESERT NARROWS CAMPGROUND HAS A DRINKING WATER PROBLEM and apparently, ownership has so far elected not to address the problem with a treatment system. Most frustrating- they were not entirely forthright about the issue.

      If you’re looking for a camp site close to Acadia without the crowd, look to MainStay in Winter Harbor. About an hours drive to the main Acadia but just 5 minutes to the Schoodic Peninsula.

      Schoodic Woods Campground — Acadia National Park

      Amazing Campground and Park

      We stayed 7 nights here and really enjoyed the campground and surrounding area. We were in B loop, site # B19 we had water & electric hook up. Our site was very private most of them are in this loop were in.  We were across from the bathrooms which the bathroom area has Wi-Fi. Since we were close we had Wi-Fi at our site which was nice. The sites are very big and all in this loop are pull through sites. Big tall trees, lots of song birds and no bugs the week we were there. There is a visitor center onsite and clean restrooms. No showers onsite so come prepared. If you have the senior lifetime National Park pass the sites are 1/2 off. 

      Loop A the sites weren't as nice or as big and most not private. We liked the B loop much better.

      As you leave the campground and take a left Frazer Point is about a 5 minute drive. Excellent place to see a sunset. There are picnic tables and fire pits if you want to just hang out there. The sunsets were amazing. We had a hard rain at sunset that only lasted a few minutes. When I turned around there was an amazing double rainbow. As it faded it became a big pink dome. We had never seen anything like it. I showed it to a ranger and she asked me to post it on the Acadia NP Hiking group on facebook. I have shared it in this review.  

      There are lots of trails for hiking in the park. This part of Acadia is peaceful and laidback. 

      Once you pass Frazer point it becomes a one way loop that goes along the shoreline with overlooks and Schoodic Point. Beautiful drive. It's 2 lane so a great place to ride your bike or walk. I believe it's about 5 or 6 miles through the National Park. 

       When you come out of the park there is the Bunkers seafood & Spirits. WE had a lobster roll and steamed mussels. It was good. A little further down the road is the pickled Wrinkle, next door to Me & Ben's dairy Creme. Great Ice cream. There's always a line so be patient. 

      There is a small grocery store in town (Winter Harbor Provisions) they had a great selection from meats to veggies. There are a few shops in town yet not much. We ate at Chases it was ok. The mudslides were amazing yet the food was just Ok. 

      We drove to Prospect Harbor & Milbridge (there's a grocery (Bayside) in Milbridge too).  Driving 186 back from Prospect Harbor we stopped at a farm that had a little fresh farm stand/store that had a sign out on the road. We bought fresh lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, beets and local honey.  Then we passed a Fresh pie farm stand that had pies and slices of pies and cookies for sale. We also saw a sign for farm fresh eggs and Ray's Meats. Ray's meats was amazing. The best big ham steak, ground beef, Ribeye steaks and more. They cut everything while you wait. It was all so good.

      Our 1st fave on our x country trip

      LOVED it here. We had a great spot with front row views of the water, just steps to the Adirondack chairs. Neighbors were regulars and had great tips for area musts. We slid on on a cancellation. The little shop at the front has the best gems. Family owned and operated, helpful and friendly staff, and steps to awesome lobster rolls and clam chowder. Close to everything. The weather was perfect. There was one super loud lady on our last night (maybe slightly over served or angry??) but nothing headphones couldn’t cure…I was surprised it went on for as long as it did with quiet hours starting at 9, but it was the only “downside” of our stay. That bad apple didn’t ruin it for us though. Would definitely come back anytime!

      Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA

      Great KOA!

      My 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.

      Schoodic Woods Campground — Acadia National Park

      Quiet National Park

      Excellent campground with plenty of space in between each campground. Lots of trees so you don’t have to see all of your neighbors. Bathrooms are clean and look nice inside. Only negative, there are no showers anywhere on the premises.

      Mt Desert Narrows Camping Resort

      Nice campground!

      Beautiful sunsets over the water and proximity to Bar Harbor & Acadia NP make this campground a must visit.

      Be advised many sites do not have dump stations, so be sure to know what you’re signing up for when reserving your spot.

      Most spots are on uneven to very uneven ground, come prepared with whatever method you have to level out your setup. We could’ve used an extra set of the camco yellow leveling pads.

      Showers are a little small but clean and hot. Washer/dryers work great.

      Mt Desert Narrows Camping Resort

      Not Impressed

      I would’ve given only one star but the view of the water is lovely. However the campground itself is less than thrilling. Next to no maintenance that I can tell. Our site (91) is very unlevel, the grass is 8 inches high, there are ruts and a sinkhole that you need to navigate carefully or twist an ankle. And although it thankfully remains empty - the site beside us is a ‘pull in’ meaning is we do get a neighbor, we will face each other and share literally less than 10’ in total. We will return to Acadia but not this campground

      Fantastic

      This campground is such a hidden gem. Large level sites, full and partial hookup, wifi, play area for kids, laundry facility, and bath house. Jeff and Lynn have really made it a great place to stay. They are constantly upgrading and looking for ways to make your stay enjoyable. They are extremely knowledgeable of the area and are happy to give advice to share for any adventure you are planning. The wifi was upgraded in 2022 and is lightening fast. I was able to work and take zoom calls with no issues.  When in the area again, this will be our only location to consider staying.

      Nice campground, convenient location

      We enjoyed a four day stay. If you don’t need a full hook up, you can stay closer to the lake, which we will do next time. The campground is clean, has good amenities, and the people who own it are very nice and helpful. Our site was also very level.

      Schoodic Woods Campground — Acadia National Park

      Great campground, mediocre staff

      We came back to Schoodic one year after our first trip, so we knew what to expect. The grounds are still gorgeous and the sites are immaculate. The problem at Schoodic is the staff. One staff member was fantastic. She was polite, helpful, warm and knowledgeable. Everyone else complained about being overworked, under staffed and just about everything else they could complain about. One of the volunteers has a god complex and he loves to show it off. We had an issue with our setup and instead of explaining the issue and providing an alternative, he acted like an overzealous teen and got confrontational. I remembered him from our previous trip because of the same behavior.

      Another issue we encountered were the bathrooms. At multiple points, there was no water pressure, so we couldn’t wash our hands or use the toilets. Aside from that, the bathrooms were frequently dirty. And to top it off, they still don’t have shower facilities anywhere on the site, nor do they have them in the area. Camp showers are prohibited and the closest paid shower facility is 70 minutes by car. This is where Schoodic has really failed.

      I would love to return, but I don’t want to go several days without showering while also having to deal with disgruntled staff members and volunteers.
