We thought our camp site was perfect . There was just enough privacy for us. Plenty of trees between us and our neighbors. The showers were easy to use and got hot fast, 5 minutes was honestly long enough. The area was nice and clean. There was even a great view when walking my dog. Acadia was about 16-20 minutes away depending on where you wanted to go. Would definitely stay again.
Ranger
Nice and quiet during our stay. Friendly staff and clean facilities.

The KOA staff were very friendly and helpful, the facilities were very clean, and the store was well-stocked. The sites were a bit close, but the neighbors I had during my stay would be out and about during the day if I didn't happen to be out and about in Acadia NP or Bar Harbor myself... so that kind of made up for it. The first few nights of my stay was spent in the "Premium" section where we were on the other side of the road from the "Oceanfront" sites--it almost felt like Oceanfront sites when Big Rigs weren't blocking the view. The next 5 nights we were at an "Oceanfront" site, which was really great and worth the extra money to watch the seals, birds, and easy access for kayaking. HOWEVER--despite knowing privacy isn't really something you can find at most KOAs, it was SHOCKING to me the lack of social awareness some people have at sunset. Despite being next to the public oceanfront area (where lovely chairs and tables are provided) people would literally walk to the Oceanfront campsites and stand there snapping photos or just hanging around at sunset, even if my husband and I were sitting down at our picnic table eating our dinners and trying to enjoy the sunset together. (Picture provided [with blocked faces) of just one of the couples one evening standing right next to our firepit... maybe 10ft from where we were setting up dinner on our picnic table.) So... be prepared with how to handle that if it's something you think may bother you, too.

Sites are right on top of each other--better hope you like your neighbor! Otherwise, good location if you're traveling in a van/RV to the Lubec area and want a spot near town. Showers are a bit tiny, but great in that they're not coin-op nor on a timer.

Pay no attention to any reviews that are a year older as there are new owners now. The prices have tripled and there are 7 pages of rules you have to sign off on!! This campground has lost its personality! The previous owners were fantastic and extremely accommodating. New owners are invisible and everything is automated online and pricing is ridiculous! This used to be a very busy place but not anymore! I hope the new owners figure it out before it’s too late!
ScoutDespite taking place during the period of social distancing, everyone at the SF-160 campsite strictly followed the clearly posted epidemic prevention regulations. This created a safe and comfortable space for everyone. Experience Traffic Jam 3D right now!
TravelerThe 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.
TravelerHello! I love camping. This is a great vacation for me. I really like to rest in nature. Fortunately, I found the best solution for myself best literature review writing service and these authors helped me a lot. For me, this is an incredible pleasure, but during the session at the university, I cannot do it, I have a lot of tasks. Come experience the charm and convenience of Bar Harbor Campground, where your perfect camping getaway awaits.
LegendPros: Location overlooking Johnson Bay 50 AMP & water hookup 4 miles from eastern most point in US
Cons: Gravel site No shade No sewer hookup

This is a huge campground. So many of the campsites here are lovely, many with views of the water and the amazing change of tides. Some are perched on a slope with tent platforms level but not much else on the site is. Pit toilets. There are showers at the main area, a bit of a walk or drive. There is a boat launch area a short distance away and the kayaking is great. This campground was so quiet and peaceful. We loved it.
Guide
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.
GuideMy family and I stayed at this KOA this past week. It was agreat experience! That staff was awesome and over the top accommodating. We had a pull through site with full hook up right across from the on site Lobster Trap Cafe. The site was spacious and comfortable. The whole campground was neat and clean. Staff members pick up trash throughout the day at all of the sites. The Lobster Trap had a good menu, and great customer service. They are mainly open in the evenings but also appear to serve lunch and breakfast on the weekends.
The camp store was well stocked also. There is also an island shuttle bus stop right at the entrance to the campground. There is a gas station and take out restaurant ( Island Take Out) right across from the entrance as well. There was a nice dog park as well. Cell service with AT&T was great. Cell service with T-Mobile was spotty. We did not try the campground wifi. The only down side to the trip was gnats and mosquitos, but that was all over the island and no fault of the KOA. This was one of the best KOA's we have visited and we will definitely stay there again when we visit Acadia.
ScoutHappy Journey I'm like this hiking
ScoutI love it
RangerI'm not rhe biggest KOA fan, but they are very convenient! Great little place to sleep. Of you've been to one, you've been to them all! Lots of spots for big and small rigs. Water and electric hook ups too
ScoutSmall campground but suprisingly quiet tent spot even though they are close and wooded. The shower rooms were a little weird, not the cleanest but much appreciated hot shower. The separate toilet stalls were pretty clean. Bring your shower shoes. Nice staff.
ScoutReally nice staff Nice size lot clean. And shuttle bus stops on site for bar harbor and Arcadia
TravelerAwesome wooded campground . Stayed 2 nights on short notice. Great hospitality . Really enjoyed our short stay.

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.
GuideGuests are very kind, quiet and respectful of others and of the campground. Everything was clean and in working order.
TravelerOne of the nicest, cleanest private campgrounds I've ever seen. Tent (van / truck) sites are flat, private, quiet, and some have ocean views! Facilities are well-maintained and very clean. Abundant trails wander through forest and Blueberry meadows with ocean views. And there's a back route to walk to ice cream and bbq!
GuideThis 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.
GuideMy boyfriend and I stayed here and loved it so much. Right by Acadia, only $34 a night for a tent site. We got the best site, right on a small pond and secluded. You drive right in and pick your site. The best thing was that they don't take reservations so when we decided to extend our stay we could! I will ALWAYS go here if I'm going to Bar Harbor
RangerNice spot for families. Neat stuff to do. Friendly staff. Only negative was lack of enough sewer necessitating a $12 pump out. But at least it is available. WiFi is sketchy with low signal and frequent drops.
GuideThis is a very well-kept campground. Being in a prime location near a national park, it is both pricey and crowded. The sites are fairly cramped-- not awning-bumping-the-neighbor cramped but you are reminded not to dump your tanks while your neighbor is outside having breakfast. AT&T cell service was good. The Wifi in parts of the campground was very good but not where we were staying(I suspect the access point was having issues). Plenty of amenities and activities for the kids and a good camp store. Our site was very level with good hookups. Given the scenery and the proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Forest, I would definitely recommend.
RangerThis KOA has many amenities for families and kids. Lots to do. Daily texts about breakfast, afternoon activities, evening meals. Very helpful office staff! Clean bathrooms and showers. Sites by the water are beautiful, but don’t have sewer hookups (typical for water sites). We are one row back from the water and have a beautiful view. There are chairs to sit by the water and a nice area to swim or put kayaks in. 8 miles to Acadia NP, and easy access to local grocery. Nice place, but don’t like the sites further from water. Just looks like a parking lot. No trees. Just baking in the sun. If you like your site, you can call “dibs” on it for the following year.
TravelerLoved every minute of our stay. Almost every site has a water view. Bathrooms are clean. Showers are free. Loads of hiking and dramatic coastline to be explored.
