Easy access from highway, level spots to set up. Very quiet at night. Well manicured property with a stream, pool and other facilities. Only downside……the WIFI, like most campgrounds best to bring your own. Beautiful campground with friendly staff!
This campground does not reserve your site. After you make your reservation, arrive at the check in gate, they give you a map and the hunt is on! You need to drive through the very crowded campground to locate an open spot that fits your rig and has the hook ups you paid for. Easy on management, stressful on the camper. Not a resort experience. Check in at the gate was rushed and brusque. Lots of “Don’t” signs throughout the campground, but no enforcement of those rules. There are family activities planned, pool, playground, etc.
Clean well kept family owned campground. Located a few miles off 81, in the country surrounded by beautiful views. It’s a mix campground of seasonal campers and short term campers. Very family oriented. Very nice off leash fenced dog park.
Well maintained, located on the Mohawk River. Shady, grassy areas. Boat launch and pier. Friendly people. A perfect campground.
The campsites are well spaced apart, some wooded and some are not. The campground was quiet, no road noise, safe. A fairly new Pickle Ball court was a pleasant surprise. Plenty of space to walk your dog. We were not able to connect to WIFI during our stay. Once your reservation is made (we texted the owner to make ours) reservations are on the honor system that you show up. No prepayment was required. An invoice is emailed to you with payment options the morning after you check in. It was refreshing to be trusted, like campgrounds used to be run.
Friendly staff! Perfectly maintained grounds with clean updated bath house and laundry. Cozy forested campground, felt private despite having neighbors. Conveniently located and safe.
Forest like setting, clean well maintained. Felt private and secluded. Clean bathrooms and showers. Friendly camp staff.
Campground has been in business for 50 years we were told. Good signage off the road, easy to find. Spaces are close together. Some have only water and electric, others have sewer. Honey truck service and a dump station also available. Laundry was higher than any other campground we’ve stayed at, 4.00 per washer. Bring your quarters to the bath house also, showers are pay per use. Check in was efficient, the woman who checked us in was friendly and so were the other ladies in the office. That friendliness stopped with male camp employee, he was curt and quick to remind you of rules when you aren’t even thinking of breaking any! If you asked a question during his orientation speech, he was quick to cut you off and answer in a way that did nothing to make you feel welcome. We overheard him speak to all our neighbors in the same lecturing tone, like a parent to a tiresome child. The impression they give off, with being in business for over 50 years makes them value their guests less. We will be staying at one of the many other campgrounds during our next visit to Bar Harbor.
Some things you should be aware of before booking: The office, playground, dog park, pool, laundry are located at the top of the hill. Camping spots are downhill, a good distance from the office and amenities. Trash is located off site in a pullout on the road you drive in on. There are 2 showers for women and 2 for men. Both are old and not well maintained or in our experience clean, either. In general the camping spots are not well maintained, weedy, un-level and picnic tables are weathered and warped. This resort campground is composed of mainly residents, the rules (we observed) apply to the overnight campers, not the residents. Children of the residents run free all day and past curfew in the evenings unsupervised. The setting is quiet, the views from the upper level are lovely. With some updating of bath facilities, cleaning and leveling of campsites, uniform enforcement of rules, Pleasant Acres could become a resort destination.
