Best RV Parks & Resorts near Roque Bluffs, ME

Several RV campgrounds near Roque Bluffs offer full hookup options for travelers exploring coastal Maine. Sunset Point RV Park in Lubec provides waterfront sites with 50-amp electric and water hookups, though the spaces are positioned quite close together. "RV sites are very close together and there is not much space between you and your neighbor," noted one camper, who recommended sites 12, 12A, 12B, and 16 for the best views and largest spaces. Timberland Acres RV Park in Ellsworth accommodates big rigs with full hookup sites including 50-amp service, while Narrows Too Camping Resort in Trenton features pull-through sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. Mt. Desert Narrows Camping Resort offers level gravel sites, many with ocean views, and operates seasonally from May 15 to October 9.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months and fall foliage season when campgrounds throughout the region fill quickly. Most RV parks in the area maintain dump stations for those staying at partial hookup sites, with some offering pump-out service for a fee. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with stronger Verizon coverage reported at most campgrounds. Between limited winter operations and seasonal closures, most RV parks near Roque Bluffs operate from May through mid-October. Many campgrounds are situated near Acadia National Park, though travel times can range from 20 minutes to over an hour depending on the specific location. Pet policies are generally accommodating, but restrictions apply regarding leaving animals unattended in RVs. Campground roads are typically gravel with occasional potholes, and some waterfront sites experience strong afternoon winds that can damage awnings if left extended.

    Schoodic Woods Campground — Acadia National Park

    Mosquitos, Mosquitos, Mosquitos

    This is a National Park which was very clean with some large sites. It was somewhat big rig friendly. I was traveling with two other motorhomes (caravan) and my site was the smallest. Electric and water was good - no sewer. WiFi was non-existent unless you got a site near the main office. Cellular reception was very mediocre. If you want to lose contact with family, friends, business... this is the place to go.

    The rules are extremely enforced. My left tire on the car was 6 inches on the grass... the rangers left a violation notice on my car. Unfortunately my site was quite small for a 40 foot motorhome so I had to park very close to the road. One evening, just after showering, I hear a bang on the front door. Ranger S.S. (Initials of ranger) told me I am not allowed to run the generator. My generator was not on. It was the 3 air-conditioners on the roof. Standard AC’s from the factory. His body language was obvious that he did not believe me so I offered to show him where the generator was - since it is a diesel pusher, right up front where we were talking. Also... why would I be running my generator if I was hooked up to 50AMP service. I also told him that generators are not located on roofs of RV’s. He finally relented when he saw I was getting quite aggravated with his body language. Another camper near our site told me that she was treated very rudely by the staff. I do not know who she spoke to but Ranger S.S. needs to take interpersonal skills classes and maybe a class on where generators are looked on motorhomes. They obviously will harass someone that is not doing a generator violation but do not enforce barking dogs...

    There was only one dump station for Loop B. Each RV took about 15 minutes. If you are third in line, you will be waiting... Since there is no sewer, you would think they would offer more than one dump station.

    No matter if you wear long sleeves and long pants, plus use bug spray, the mosquitos are vicious. Between gnats and mosquitos, sitting outside to eat is nearly impossible. Otherwise, this is a visually beautiful park.

    Schoodic Woods Campground — Acadia National Park

    Acadia National Park's Quieter Side

    This campground is a gem! It is located on the Schoodic Peninsula which is the quieter side section of Acadia National Park but no less breathtaking. Here you get to enjoy the hiking and biking trails, amazing coastal scenery, quaint towns, and a peaceful campground in one of America’s top 10 parks without the crowds and craziness of Bar Harbor and Acadia NP located on Mt. Desert Island (which is only an hour away). I absolutely love the Schoodic Peninsula and the town of Winter Harbor which has such a “Downeast” Maine feel.

    The campground opened in 2015 and has 200 sites all within a 15-minute walk to the ocean. Although most of the campsites are designated for tents, there are some available for RV’s. Sites have a decent amount of privacy so you don’t feel like you are right on top of your neighbor. Since the campground is is relatively new not all the trees have filled in from construction but they did a great job preserving trees and shrubs. It is best to reserve online as this park fills up and very rarely has a walk-up site. The ranger station will not make reservations over the phone so don’t bother calling. (Acadia NP is a “fee” park so you will need to buy a park pass.)  All sites have electric (20/30/50) and some have electric and water only reflected in cheaper prices

    Fee (per site, per night):

    $22 hike-in tent sites (primitive)

    $30 drive up tent/small RV (20 amp)

    $36 RV with electric only sites (20/30/50 amp)

    $40 RV with electric and water (20/30/50 amp)

    $60 group tent sites

    Picnic tables are at every site but fire pits are only at RV sites as no open fires are allowed in the tent section. Tent sites are allowed to use portable camp stoves such as white gas or iso-butane cartridges. The bathrooms have flush toilets and potable water but there are no showers or laundry facilities. There are some places in the nearby town of Winter Harbor that have shower facilities of which the ranger station has information on.   A dish-washing station if located at the bathrooms which is really handy and kept clean.  There is a dump station located towards the exit of the park if you have an RV. 

    Surrounding the campground are miles of biking and hiking trails that are easily accessible from your campsite. There is a six-mile loop that takes you along the beautiful rocky coast with views of lighthouses, islands, forests, and wetlands. An additional eight miles of carriage roads and four miles of hiking trails wind through the park.

    The town of Winter Harbor is located two miles from the park and a ferry dock which takes you to Mt. Desert Island. The Acadia Island Explorer shuttle provides free transportation between various locations, island attractions, and towns (and is dog-friendly and can accommodate bikes). The shuttle operates from late June to mid-October and is a great way to get around if you don’t have a car or want the hassle of parking.

    Located at the Schoodic Institute is the Education and Research Center which offers interesting programs and has a visitor center. The town of Corea has a great waterside restaurant where you can sit outside and eat lobster while watching the boats go in and out. J. M. Garrish Café in Winter Harbor is a great place to get a bite to eat and an ice cream Sunday.

    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.

    Bar Harbor Campground

    Worth the gamble!

    The campground is first come, first served and has a seventh night free deal. Cash or check only. With a lower cost per night, free wifi, full hookups and a chance for a water view, we decided to take the risk and show up. We had several options to choose from, but that wouldn't have been true during our stay. We saw some pretty big rigs with very awkward setups in smaller, unlevel sites because there weren't any other options when they showed up.

    We liked our site. C4 is a pull through with full hookups (30 amp). It was level, clean and a short walk to the water view, shower house, and laundry facility. We also liked how close we were to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and other attractions. Mainely Meats and Udder Heaven ice cream was a quick walk from inside the campground (there was a walking access to them). Across the street from them was Pirates Cove mini golf. We visited each and would definitely recommend as a treat to anyone staying here. The only downside was that they were decreasing their hours and were only open until 8, and if you were out hiking etc it made it an all out sprint to be there before closing. Pirates Cove is open until 9p right now.

    We didn't need our WeBoost, the cell signal was fine, and the camp's wifi was great. Laundry was super clean and nice with approx 10 washers and 4 dryers ($1 each). Showers are $.25 for 5 min and were very clean.

    We are suckers for pinball and had been eyeing the machine in the little shack arcade when you first pull into the campground. Save your money because most of the games had out of order signs and the pinball machine should have too.

    We would definitely stay again and hopefully would be lucky enough to get a water view next time!

    Forest Ridge Campground

    Surprise of the month!!

    We travel the country for 4 months during the summer and fall. Tomorrow we check in to Acadia NP for 14 days. We arrived in the area without a reservation. We put The Dyrt to the test and found Forest Ridge in Ellsworth, ME. What a terrific find , last minute or not. Super friendly staff, large full hookup sites, most shaded, some sunny. Level gravel most pull through and many big rig sites. About 20 minutes outside Acadia NP, where there are no hookups except for electric on Scoodic..

    Smuggler's Den Campground

    Great Campground

    Amazing campground. Staff is extremely friendly. Campground has a small camp store, a heated pool and children's pool, large home style gas grills with picnic area, horseshoe pits, a large playground for children and a large field for anything from badminton to football. Multiple sights with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. This campground has every possible kind of sight, RV, pop-up, tent, Cabin, Rustic Cabin, and tents on platforms. All sights are decently leveled having some slight grades for drainage so no sights are flooded. Camp store has firewood, ice and other essentials including live lobsters. Campground is extremely close to Acadia Nation Park and does have access to a few parts of the park within walking distance. Local brewery and Winery within a 15 minute drive of the camp ground. There is a local grocery store and ice cream shop within walking distance of the campground. Downtown Bar Harbor is only a 25 minute drive away.

    Seaview Campground

    Nice full hookup

    Had a choice of 3 campgrounds in the Eastport area during Covid but we wanted full hookup for our little teardrop trailer. We are very happy with this place. Location is good and if the border wasn't closed it would be closer to even more sights to see! The owners are nice and very responsive. The site is plenty large (there are some BIG rigs here) and we can see the bay from it although we are maybe 150 feet away. Most campers seem to be here for a long term rental and they are a quiet group. I think there are many more amenities during ordinary time. There's an IGA grocery store nearby and that's been a bonus. I would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

    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

    Great location

    Cons: Gravel site No shade


Guide to Roque Bluffs

RV campgrounds near Roque Bluffs, Maine occupy a unique section of the Downeast coastline where dramatic 20-foot tidal changes transform shorelines twice daily. This coastal region experiences cooler summers than inland areas, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 65-75°F during peak camping months. Wind conditions can be significant near waterfront sites, particularly during afternoon hours when steady breezes off the water are common.

What to do

Paddle the tidal waters: Launch kayaks or canoes from West Bay Acadia RV Campground where a cleared area at the water's edge provides access to productive fishing grounds. "There is a nice path leading to an overlook and down to the water which is tidal. There is a beautiful cleared spot at the waters edge with a swing so you can enjoy the view and watch the tides (and seals come and go)," notes one camper. Time your paddling excursions around high tide to avoid navigating through exposed mudflats.

Visit Quoddy Head State Park: Located near Sunset Point RV Park, this park features a historic lighthouse and coastal hiking trails. "Nearby is Quoddy Head State Park which has some beautiful oceanfront hiking trails and a picturesque lighthouse," reports one visitor. The park marks the easternmost point in the United States, making it an ideal location for sunrise viewing.

Explore Schoodic Peninsula: This less-crowded section of Acadia National Park is approximately 10 minutes from Mainstay Cottages & RV Park in Winter Harbor. "About an hours drive to the main Acadia but just 5 minutes to the Schoodic Peninsula," confirms one camper. The peninsula offers granite shorelines, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing with significantly fewer visitors than the main park sections.

What campers like

Waterfront camping: Many RV parks offer direct water access, with Mt Desert Narrows Camping Resort providing premium waterfront sites. "We got a waterfront lot but the brush is blocking most of view. The park is lovely and we look forward to what we discover!" shares one camper. Another adds, "Beautiful view, quiet and serene. Not far from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor."

Dark sky viewing: Some campgrounds maintain strict lighting policies to preserve night sky viewing. "Recently added is a short nature trail and off leash dog park. Another great thing about this park is that it is a certified dark sky park. Campers are asked to turn outside lights off so there is no light noise to interfere with the beautiful sky full of stars, planets, and meteor showers," notes a visitor at West Bay Acadia RV Campground.

Fresh local seafood: Several campgrounds provide facilities for cooking locally-caught seafood. "The campground has free use of lobster pots, burners, and propane tanks if you want to cook your own lobster and there is a seafood place right down the street that sells live lobster. Or you can drive about 25 miles to the town of Cutler and buy them fresh off the dock," reports a Sunset Point RV Park guest.

What you should know

Tidal considerations: The dramatic tides impact waterfront activities. "Beware that the tidal range is around 20 feet so make sure you paddle around high tide or you will have to cross a mucky, seaweed covered, rocky clam flat to get back to shore," advises a camper. Allow approximately four hours for water activities between tide changes.

Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds operate from mid-May through mid-October. "We opened in 2021 and has amazing waterfront views and nice full hook-up sites," notes a West Bay Acadia visitor about the newest RV park in the region. Some facilities reduce services after Labor Day.

Cell service and WiFi: Connectivity varies widely between campgrounds. "We had a strong Verizon signal so we didn't rely on their WiFi," reports one camper. Another notes at Narrows Too Camping Resort, "The wifi was hit or miss. All sites and patios are gravel with some grass between them."

Tips for camping with families

Pool availability: For families seeking swimming options, several campgrounds offer pools. "There is a swimming pool, horseshoes, volleyball, laundry, and bathrooms. The bathrooms and showers were cleaned daily and in good condition when we were there," shares a Narrows Too camper. Another visitor notes, "The kids loved playing on the playground and going down to the water at low tide."

Grocery accessibility: Stock up on supplies before arriving at remote campgrounds. "Grab groceries in Ellsworth if you want to save $," recommends a Mt Desert Narrows camper. Most smaller towns have limited shopping options with higher prices than mainland stores.

Child-friendly campgrounds: Not all RV parks cater to families with children. "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," notes one visitor at Narrows Too Camping Resort.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose sites strategically based on views and separation. "RV sites are very close together with no physical separation between them in typical RV park fashion. The best sites are 12, 12A, 12B, and 16 which have the best views and are the largest sites," advises a camper at Timberland Acres RV Park. Request specific sites when booking to secure premium locations.

Sewer hookup availability: Not all waterfront sites include full hookups. "I thought I had full hookups. Come to find out none of the oceanfront sites have sewer. They do have a honey wagon that will pump you out on Mondays and Fridays for $25 a pop," reports one camper. Verify hookup configurations when booking.

Awning caution: Strong coastal winds can damage extended awnings. "Warning: do not leave your awning out while you are away from your camper as the winds can really pick up in the afternoon and damage them," advises an experienced camper. Retract awnings when leaving your site, especially at waterfront locations.
