Bar Harbor Maine

We stayed at Bar Harbor Campground which is on the island. Free shuttle stops there with great frequency. Reasonable prices by local standards. No reservations, no credit cards but they took a check. We had no problem getting a campsite in the middle of the summer.

Lots of other choices, but I'll stay there again.

X2 for Bar Harbor campground

Bar Harbor KOA is on the island-it's right after the bridge.

Pros: Well run, clean, fantastic sunsets, lobster bakes/pancake breakfasts on-site, lots of kids activities

Cons: Small sites, price

Only place I'll camp in Bar Harbor.

Bar Harbor Campground is a favorite of ours, but we liked Blackwoods in the park itself also. No hookups and a little stricter on overall length but we like the no frills places anyway.

We have stayed there 2 or 3 times and enjoyed it. The shuttle bus is very convenient. If you enjoy bicycling, you can take your bikes on the shuttle and then cycle the miles and miles of trails in the park.

Check out Schoodic Woods CG on Schoodic Peninsula part of Acadia NP the quiet side

.

Schoodic is like 45 min anyway from Bar harbor itself. We like to dry camp at Blackwoods. ST

We stay at Narrows Too just before you cross over to Mt Desert Island. FHU and pretty large sites.

Toolguy5, what kind of campground do you want? Full hookups or none?

We love Blackwoods - been there a few times over the last 10 years. Tight maneuvering in the campground for bigger rigs, but sites are pretty roomy once you get setup. No hookups, but water is available to fill your water tank.
