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.
The reception at this campground is very friendly. Pitches are fairly spacious, but still a bit close together. Garbage is picked up from you in the morning, which is very nice.
The sanitary facilities are quite outdated and, in addition, could definitely be a bit cleaner.
The pool is clean, but everything around it also looks very outdated and worn.
We had a pleasant time here and would definitely recommend this place for a few days.
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.
Very friendly and helpful
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.
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.
Pros: 30 minutes from Acadia National Park 50 AMP, sewer & water hookup Nice amenities
Cons: Gravel site No shade
Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Lots of Amenities
Cons: Gravel site Not much shade
We stayed in a large tent site. Very quiet and clean. We also fished off the dock.
I wasn’t super thrilled when we first pulled in, but after exploring the campground it’s clear the folks that run it are campers. It is well planned out and the dachshunds have a blast.
Shore hills has good prices and great views. The sites are large. The people are nice. It is the only place we have stayed at more than once.
Camden Hills state park is in a great spot, close to town and has a waterfront access. If you have a bigger rv you’ll want to stay in the field sites in the front of the park. The higher you go the better for tenting it is as it gets more forested.
We had a great weekend here, it is in a great location to get to downtown Ellsworth or go into Bar Harbor. The sites were big and spaced out well and the vibe of the campground is great.
Nice state campground with tons of hiking trails right from the campground. We stayed in a non-hookup site for $38/night- very expensive but we wanted to stay in the area and enjoy the hiking trails. Most sites don’t have enough sun for solar, and those that do, are FHU sites. Go figure. We were in site #65, recommended to us by the ranger as having the most sun for our panels. 65 was nice because it was set apart from other sites, and kind of enclosed so it was nice for the dogs. But it’s in direct view of the dump station so if that bothers you don’t pick this site!
The drive up Mt Battie Rd was worth it for the views at the top. RVs are ok to drive on this road, and there’s RV parking at the top.
Showers are free, hot, and good pressure, but they are the creepiest campground showers, rusty and dark. Dump station and potable water are available.
There’s a little free library book exchange at the ranger station at the entrance. Verizon service was usable but very weak, ATT was better, and fine with the weboost. The campground offers wifi at $3 per day per connection, but we didn’t use it.
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.
Slept in my rental car because of cooler temperatures. Office staff were very nice and accommodating. Nice sites and easy to navigate. I paid for a shower but it was cold. They gave me the money back right away. Just ask other campers which showers worked for them. Some are finicky, but that is just like many other campgrounds, no reason to give less stars. The gas station down the street was clean, efficient and friendly too.
The check-in couple were awesome! Chatted for a while and made us feel welcomed. The campgrounds were very nice, and our tent site was the largest site on the grounds.
The loss of one star is the pricing. I guess the campgrounds were bought out by some corporate conglomerate last year, and the current pricing shows. We paid $75 for one night. There was water to the site, but no electricity.
Despite a very recent personal loss, the owners welcomed us with open arms and heartfelt greetings. The grounds and sites were well maintained. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well stocked.
When we arrived, we were given a map with available sites marked and free reign to pick the spot of our liking.
The pricing has increased from the dyrt's listed prices. We paid $40 for a tent site with elec. and water.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
It's not our type if place, as the sites are rather close together, but it's a nice campground. Extremely clean, well- maintained. It's obviously a labor of love by the owners, because it is in pristine condition. Seasonal sites/Community events throughout the summer. Very Vintage Vibe!!
I am new to pulling a small camper, and staff was great helping me secure a site that was easy for me to back into, and beautiful. Staff and other campers answered some basic questions graciously. The grounds are well kept and the facilities were clean and inviting. The shop was amazingly well stocked.
I will definitely return!
We stayed in site # 31. It was a nice sized site and very shaded. We had water & electric and there is a dump station onsite. The had a problem with the water so we filled up at the Camden Fire station which was close to the campground. You can pay a few extra dollars for WI-FI it's worth it. The sites are not level yet in the hills they usually aren't. There is a section of campsites that are along the side of the office that have no shade. If you like sun those sites are for you.
The auto road was closed so we didn't get up to see Mount Battie. You could hike it yet my husband couldn't hike due to health issues. The day use area is across the street from the campground. It has some hiking trails and a nice place to just hang out.
The town of Camden is quaint and has shops and good places to eat. Traffic is bad yet worth it. If you like Thai food Long Grain is so good. You need a reservation or you won't get in. They were so busy they even quit taking to go orders. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had.
We drove to Searsport and went to a antique/nautical place to buy some lobster pot buoys nice little shop. We stopped at McLaughlins on the way back and had some dinner. It was ok. Lots of people said it was good yet pricey and just ok.
We found a great Mobil RV guy Chris Burbelo (207) 322-4526. We had issues several places we stayed and he came out & fixed it all. He fixed our slideout, a leveler, a window and the fridge. We went 2 months with our slide stuck in. He made our trip. Highly recommend him.
Camden Hills wouldn't be our first choice, but we were returning to Maine to retrieve our trailer after some truck trouble, and wanted something close to where we left the trailer. Sites were pretty picked out by the time I made plans. so I chose a "Medium" site and hoped for the best.
It was tricky getting our 20' trailer into site 13. I'm not the best trailer driver (long truck, short trailer) but I do get lucky from time to time. I backed the trailer in between the trees as a neighbor laughed, trying to avoid the culvert for the stream which would have been a disaster. The truck/trailer wouldn't fit, so once the trailer was parked and leveled, I "parallel parked" the truck to get it off the road.
I had a Falcon Guide to the Maine trails, and that, along with the park map, allowed us to do a nice loop of Mts. Battie and Megunticook. In order to not block the site, we packed up and asked to park in the "overflow" lot near the park shops.
Some of the turns in the roads were a little rough for bigger trailers, but we did okay. The dump station is further in the campground, so don't try to leave and miss it. Wifi seemed pretty strong but we kept turning it off. I didn't ask about how much it costs.
Camden was a nice town; parking was problematic. The campground is about 2 miles from town, so not close enough to walk. It seemed like there were a lot of portapotties around, but that could be due to the Mt. Battie auto road traffic. We didn't try the bathrooms or showers.
Try to do your homework regarding sites, and anyone with a trailer should try to get a large one.
This is a hidden gem. We really enjoyed this campground and the good people staying there. I would go back and stay longer next time.
We stayed 7 nights in site # 24. We had water & electric and there is a dump station onsite. Our site was waterfront we were right off the beach. The site was level and had some shade. If you have a small camper you can pull in forward and your door opens to the water. I couldn't pull in I had to back in yet having the dinette overlooking the lake was nice. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The lake has 26.5 miles perimeter and a maximum depth of 124'. We had loons come in close to our site. Saw an Eagle too.
We sat our chairs in the water and cooled down everyday and floated on our noodles. Great relaxing place.
The owners Shawn and Margaret do a nice job maintaining the campground and enjoy taking a dip at the swim beach like the rest of us.
There is a playground, a nice area to keep kayaks if your not on the water. There were adirondack chairs along the beach and the nice grassy area overlooking the lake. There are boat docks for smaller boats and some floating docks you can swim out to and enjoy.
There is a small store where the office is and a group bonfire pit every evening many of the people gather there.
There are some seasonal sites some are set up so nice.
They offer a pump out service twice a week which is nice.
The town of Ellsworth has everything you need. Walmart, home depot, the Global beverage store, laundry places, and best of all Martha's Diner. The best eggs benedict with ham. Shawn recommended it. Bangor isn't far either.
There is a vintage/antiques place called Relics that has great finds.
Dorr Lobster and seafood market serves lobster & crab rolls and sells fresh seafood. We bought some cooked, picked lobster meat and made lobster Alfredo for dinner. Very tasty!
Finn's Irish pub is good to. we had a good meal there it's on Main street. My husband had corned beef and cabbage I had Shepherds pie.
We found a great mobile Repairman that fixed our slide out while we were there. It broke the 2nd week of June and we couldn't find anyone to fix it. His name is Chris Burbelo his number is (207) 322-4526. He did a great job it was a cable slide and we'd had the motor & gear replaced before we left florida. It wasn't bolted to the wall correctly & it tore from the wall broke the chains and the cables all went slack. We spent 2 months with the slide stuck in. Chris works at a RV place in service and does side work on his spare time. He did several things for us and did a great job. Worth a million!
Thank you Shawn and Margaret for the great experience and Chris B for fixing our slide out.
Probably closed1
Had a wonderful 4 days at Duck Puddle. An amazing view of the lake from a site that was very level. The staff were all friendly and the facilities were clean and stocked. Can’t wait to come back!
We stayed here from Thursday to Sunday in site #67. I would recommend requesting a site other than 66 or 67 because it backs right up to the water pump system for the RV park, which is quite loud when the pump turns on and off. Other than that, campground was great. They have a store with basically anything you need. There's a Walmart down the road. It's 30 min from Acadia NP, 15-20 min from Bar Harbor and about 15 min from Ellsworth. Showers & boathouse was clean and showers were some of the best I've had on a campground. Good water pressure & hot. Lots of seasonal campers. Everyone was pretty friendly. You can also get lobster from the camp store (cooked or live). Our spot was nice bc it backed up to the woods. The larger rig sites in the back are more open with no tree cover. Laundry building is coin operated and was super convenient. Campground is VERY dog friendly! Lots of dogs being walked and on campsites. We would stay again for sure.
Sennebec Lake Campground provided a blend of relaxation and adventure for the kiddos and the campground's commitment to modern conveniences is evident, with amenities that bring together comfort and wilderness living. During our stay, remarkable service provided a seamless experience. We have a 35ft RV, and we faced no issues getting in and out of the property and the sites across the water were level, with no extra leveling needed.
The campground's location was a highlight, offering easy access to the towns of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland, each having with their own unique New England charm. Sennebec Lake Campground is a sanctuary for families seeking a serene escape without sacrificing modern comforts.
