    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!

    Shore Hills Campground & RV Park

    Lovely River View

    Nice campground with a mix of tent/rv sites some in the woods, some by the river and some pretty close to the road. The sites were fairly close to each other but we had a  site at the end that had wonderful views of the river and we could angle our camper so we had privacy. The river is tidal and so unless you want to wade threw mud there is not access beyond a couple hours around high tide. Bath house was old but clean. Coin pay for hot water in the showers. Old school in that you have to call to make reservations and they do not accept credit cards. A few children but it was mostly adults the weekend we visited. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing.

    Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA

    Best camp views of 2025 season

    I’m always appreciative when booking KOA. This site did not disappoint. Tricky parking but wonderful to have the views to myself and one other neighbor. Beach front, able to swim and SUP right from the campsite. Amazing fire pit. Bathrooms are far, and only 3 showers, one was down. But they were clean. Overall will book again.

    Mount Desert Campground

    The best Campground in Maine

    This place is the perfect mix of feeling like you're rustic camping on the water with decent amenities. Not many RV's will fit so, mostly tent camping. Un-level sites have platforms to put your tent on. The office even has hammer and nails for you to use to secure everything. Fresh ground local coffee every morning and local Giffords ice cream at night at their "Gathering Place". Kids ride their bikes everywhere. I'd say kids get to be just the right amount of feral here. It's a safe, quiet and fun park. Best you'll find on MDI and in Maine. It's one of our top in the USA, to be honest.

    Pemaquid Point Campground

    Nice place, pleasant staff

    A 1/2 mile from the coast and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. No complaints. Shower, laundry, and ice available on-site. Each campsite also has water and an electrical outlet for charging your devices.

    Blackwoods Campground — Acadia National Park

    Clean, quiet, beautiful

    Despite being a fully booked campground our stay was very enjoyable. It was quiet, other campers were respectful. The bathrooms are dated but clean. There is a designated dishwashing drain to keep animals away from the campsites. Best part though was the lack of biting flies and mosquitoes!

    Cold River Campground

    Just ok

    Pretty small site but nice layout. Wifi was terrible. Had to listen to an argument from a neighbor. Someone was parked in the spot and had to move so i could back in
