Acadia NP - rv length

Hi all-

We are planning to visit Acadia next summer, and we much prefer state and national parks over other campgrounds, so I am obviously focusing on the two campgrounds in Acadia. My concern is their website is very cautionary about allowing campers over 35’ in, and from what I understand it is due to the roads in the campground

Our fiver is 40’. Being a fifth wheel, I have been able to navigate right roads in national parks before and fit into spots that are 30-35’ long. The website says they will turn your way if your camper is too long. Does anyone have experience with this? I tried to call but the office is closed until May.

    Anyone stay at bar harbor campground? Any issues with not getting a campsite since there are no reservations?


    We stayed at Hadley's Point right down Rt 3 from Bar Harbor CG. We went by Bar Harbor several times and there were always open sites (2nd week in September). I think the no reservations thing hurts them. When I made reservations at Hadley's, most of the other CG in the area were full.
