Acadia Campground Help

Need some help with a campground selection for those that have been there. I'm in the beginning phases of planning a trip for next June to Acadia National Park. I have never been, so most of my campground selections are going off of internet searches and reviews. So far I really like Schoodic Woods Campground. Very spacious and private from what I can tell. Only problem so far, it looks like it is easily over an hours drive to Bar Harbor where we would like to eat out the 4 days we are there. Are there any other campgrounds in the area that are like Schoodic Woods? I do not mind not having full hook-ups but if I'm going to be camping on top of someone, I would prefer full hook-ups. Also, what are your favorite places to eat at while in the area? Thanks for the help.

    We were in Acadia NP in late June and stayed at Blackwood. The campground was very clean and well maintained. It seems that no matter where you stay, you are a quite a ways from Bar Harbour. We ran into construction in and around Bar Harbour and also near the entrance to Acadia. None of the maps are worth much due to the detours not letting you know how to get to the park entrances because many roads on the maps don't have names on them.
    The park itself was beautiful. We took the carriage tour and enjoyed it.

    We stayed at Blackwood inside the park. Seemed to be fairly centrally located. Campground was quiet and sites were separated with nature.Blackwood
