Lovely campground near Acadia

Sites were spaced out enough for privacy. We had a site with a wooden platform that was perfectly level. There was a enough tree cover that we didn't get soaked during the rain. We went tent camping, but they had some very nice looking cabins on the grounds.

Best place in the area

Quietside Campground is the best place to stay in the area. It is a 5 minute drive to Acadia National Park, has free warm showers, flushable toilets and beautiful campsites. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I’ve extended my stay here and will be coming back.

Great place best price

My wife and I rented a "hobbit" cabin for our anniversary for 3 nights at 50 dollars a night it was a great deal. The on site baths and showers were clean and maintained great. There is trash site easily gotten to, they sell on site many camping necessaries and fire wood. We loved our time there and look forward to returning next year

Great price, great people, OK location.

Quietside campground's worst feature is it is about a half hour to the major areas of Acadia National Park. Other then that the campground is a very nice, basic campground. There are two bath house with hot water and showers and flushing toilets. In addition, there are a couple port-a-pots. The sites are pretty private. We have stayed several times, for tent sites 30, 29, 25, and 26 are probably your best bets. There is a common room with an old pool table, some chairs, and WiFi. Campwood and ice are reasonably priced. The owner is super nice and helpful. We will stay here again for sure, but if this is your only visit to Acadia you may want to stay on the other side of the island to have easier access to the park bus system.
