Nice campground. We got a beach site. Sites were a little closer than I thought they would be. Water access for potable water. Bathrooms and showers were nice and heated. The seafood place across the street was really cool with a nice atmosphere.

Can't beat the location! So close to Hull's visitor center and Bar Harbor.
The campground itself was nicely kept up. We stayed in a tent in the tent/RV section with water/electric hookups. It was nice to be surrounded by trees instead of just one huge open field. That was more for strictly RV sites.
We walked around our first day and realized most sites would be great to stay. The ocean view spots had a nice view of water and mountains, but also a simple walk from other sites to see it.
A nice place to call home for the week!

We stayed here in a class A MH for four nights, 30amp and water, pull thru site. What a wonderful place! Reasonable pricing, excellent location, very friendly folks! Sites were spacious, clean and attractive. Heavily wooded area for tent camping. RV sites were more open (which we prefer). Shower houses were clean and .25cents for five minutes but definitely seemed much longer. We bought live lobsters and my husband thought (on a whim) that he would see if the front desk might just happen to have a lobster pot. They sure as heck DID!!!! That blew us away 💞🦞

Had a great 6 night stay at the campground the week after Labor Day. We started off in a tent site, but moved to an electric/water site for the last two nights. There were plenty of openings as it was the end of the season. Staff was very accommodating. The issue was, there is a strict no generator rule, and we were planning to use ours. The bus stops here which is excellent. Facilities are great. Good dump site, plenty of trash receptacles. Campground was very quiet and there is a variety of site types. Bathrooms are clean. Showers are great and well worth the 25 cents for 5 mins. I would definitely camp here again for easy access to Acadia.

There’s an excellent coffee shop up the road, and the lobster place across the street is not to be missed.

Our family stayed here three nights while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It was a great camp ground! We loved the heated pool and laundry facilities. The bath rooms were clean and the showers were hot. Also we loved that the free bus to the visitors’ center came right to the camp ground and was just one stop away. The only downside was the walk from our RV campsite (way in the back with a great view of the water, and close to the playground and pool) was a long walk but you are probably visiting Acadia to hike so it’s not that big of deal or maybe bring bikes if you don’t want to walk back and forth. The staff were very helpful. And bonus it is right across the street from a great lobster pound and ice cream place!
