"Close proximity to Bar Harbor and a lot of the main attractions of the national park. Showers are just outside of the entrance to the campground, coin operated."
"Super short walk down a path to the oceans edge complete with cliffs, rocks and waves!! Just really a lovely place to camp. Close to many other attractions in the park!"
$60 - $81 / night
"We love the state parks and unorganized, off the beaten path camping. This is definitely not that!"
"This is a nice campground located close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park."
$22 - $60 / night
"Schoodic Loop Road -- less popular than the main park "Park Loop Road", provides access to gorgeous shore line views and more hiking trails, but RVs and trailers aren't allowed past the campground entrance"
"Although it is quite a ways off the beaten path, Schoodic Woods Campground is well worth the travel time. The campground is new, so it is sparkling clean."
"Desert, Maine which is right next to the fabulous town of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Forest."
"Our site was right next to a potable water spigot, and within easy walking distance to a bathroom building which includes full plumbing and metered showers (4 quarters for 5 minutes)."
$29 - $90 / night
"**Campground Review: **
Hadley’s Point Campground is located on the north side of Mt Desert Island and just a short distance from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park."

"It 11 miles to Bar Harbor town proper and only 8.7 miles to the Hulls Cove Acadia National Park visitors center and the entrance to the Cadillac Mountain Summit Road."

"This campground is quiet, walking distance to the ocean. Family oriented. There are however, no showers. Most of the walk in campsites are only steps away from the parking lot."
"We stayed at the tent walk in sites (D25) The sites are close together but otherwise, well maintained."
"Some of the sites are very close to one another...we happened to get lucky with a site with more space. The proximity to Acadia and Bar Harbor was fantastic."
"Showers rooms are every other for social distance are clean and like bathrooms cleaned daily. It is a great convenience to Acadia Nat’l Park."
"Lamoine State Park is a great option if you want to be close to Acadia but away from the crowds.
There are both tent and rv sites, which are intermingled in the campground."
"Another awesome state park in Maine! We loved the location; so easy to get to Acadia National Park but well out of the fray. We had site 42: not right on the Frenchman Bay (a gorgeous thing!)"
$35 - $125 / night
"Mountain View is beautiful. it captures Maine very well!"
"Many spots not as close to water as we were. Spot gravel and took us few extra minutes to move around to find most level Part . Owners great and on site."
ScoutPretty 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
ScoutNice campground if you are small and can get some shade otherwise you are in a field with little or no shade.
RangerThis campground has something for everyone. Tent sites hidden in the woods, RV sites for all sizes and cabins for the glampers. Amenities are wonderful. Very clean facilities with showers, laundry and game room in the middle of the grounds. They have a waterpark for campers and day guests and a private pool just for campers.
TravelerWell maintained grounds with amazing views and sunsets. The bathrooms and bath houses are extremely cleane.
GuideWe have a tiny trailer that fits in a tent site. But when reserving online, being unfamiliar with the campground, we were prompted to enter the total length of trailer + vehicle. That put us in loop C with huge RVs much closer together than the other loops. That being said, we still got to stay in Acadia. The site was adequate and not as close to the neighbors as I feared. We didn’t have reliable cell service. The shuttle bus takes 50 minutes to get to Bar Harbor, by car it’s closer to 30. There was really nothing to do at the campground except camp -no hikes or trails directly there. Showers were ~2 miles away, open 4-7 pm and $1.50 for 2 minutes of water. We stayed 7 nights, most people were there 1-3. Several sites were open each night in our loop.
ScoutIt's well provisioned with clean free hot showers, it tends to have some availability of some kind even quite last minute in the season which is nice. There's a lot of full season campers. A downside is this is a significantly noisy and busy campsite, every single day there are golf carts coming and going, mowing, weed whacking, children up until late. It felt dangerous driving my trailer in because small children kept whizzing by on bikes and scooters, not stopping even as I was backing my trailer in, kids were throwing trash on the ground. If you're not a busy family person, it doesn't feel very relaxed and my headphones got a lot of use.
Prices are significantly more expensive than marked on here, most people come with large vehicles and do sewage outlets so the shower bathroom can be far if you need it. You pay a premium to be in the region during the season but it will run at least 1700 a month, which is more than enough for a full apartment- and I'm getting a small grass spot with electricity and water, nothing else. For convenience to the island and more affordable groceries in Ellsworth it is well situated.
ScoutCampground was quiet with spaced out sites and had a really nice outdoor shower! Lori and staff were friendly and it was easy to call and book a spot. Really great views of the ocean and Deer Isle. Stayed at site 8 which had unobstructed views of ocean and close to path to beach. Def worth the visit
ScoutClose to Acadia a plus. Shuttle doesn’t run until late June. Pool is cold in June. WiFi is spotty. Great views of bar harbor. Not all sites full hookup but it’s coming next year. Would stay again. Clean bathrooms but some showers don’t have moveable shower head and that’s tricky depending on your height. Hot h2o though and great water pressure.
ScoutI stayed here for a few months. I really enjoyed my stay. The campground was quiet, and the area was pretty. The staff were also very nice. I intend to stay here again next time I'm over that way.
