Great place for a few nights
Very friendly staff. Outdoor pavilion with chairs and TV. Great showers. Most sites are large and secluded with fire pits and tables. Dog Park in back. Wi-Fi is iffy at the site, good at the pavilion.

Great getaway
This is our first campground... I'd say the bathrooms are clean and the campground itself is pretty spacious when it comes to parking which isn't what I saw with alor of others. We extended our stay because its been the staff and environment has been really nice. We have site 35 which has been secluded and nice. We are going to 11 which has a partial waterfront view but not super close to water.

Just A Place To Crash
We stayed one night. Standard Maine camp - neighbors 20’ away on three sides.
Price is $25-$70.
This is a good spot if you’re visiting Jonesport or Cherryfield.
Staff is very friendly.

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.

Great campsite for visiting Acadia
We stayed at Somes Sound Campground for 5 days. It was extremely pleasant. Our site was on a hill but getting the camper in was easy. Water pressure was low, but the WiFi was awesome. The young children were a little loud at times, but ok. There were several 1 or 2 night neighbors in tents. But there was plenty of firewood available cheap. The bathrooms were clean and well placed. It was also on the Somes Sound / Atlantic Ocean. The views were breathtaking.

HTR Acadia
Quiet clean and great for families.
This campground was the perfect spot to hand the hammock for the week. Close to Bar Harbor as well as many areas of the park. They have a clean bathhouse, swimming pool, waterfront with a dock for reading or fishing or just watching the sun rise. Sites are mostly for tent campers with several the will support small compact trailers or Class C. All sites have electric and water but no black water hookups. They will come pump you out for a $25 fee, which we thought was reasonable. This park was very quiet and personnel who worked there very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay here.
