Coastal Maine campground recommendations

We also enjoy Narrows Too in Trenton which is just outside of Bar Harbor. It sits right on the bay. We just could not eat enough of that fantastic Lobster at such a reasonable price.

They only accept tents, PUPS, and TCs (no dually) and no generators but if that describes you I suggest you look at Hermit Island Campground, Phippsburg, ME. It is right on Casco Bay and quite rustic.
PS. I'm not sure about vans. At one time they did allow but not currently listed. I'd call in check if you have a B. Or pack a tent.

If you want quiet with lots to do near by, try HERE

Bar Harbor KOA Oceanside. Pricey but the phenomenal sunsets make it worth it.
Poland Springs Campground, Poland Springs. Nice, more rustic campground on a great lake for paddling.

Narrows Too in Trenton (Bar Harbor) Maine.

It has large full service Ocean Front sites. The sites look out on Frenchman Bay so more of a tidal flats view but still very nice and still salt water. We were just there this past weekend and it is a really nice place. The sites are wooded, on the sides, and private between RV's, flat and easy in and out and very large.

We have stayed at KOA Oceanside before. The sites are nice there but more wide open and the ocean front sites do not have sewer service for the most part.

Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are all so beautiful. Lots to do and see. Plan at least a week.

Here's a tip about Narrows Too. The premium, non-ocean front sites are about $45.00 per night cheaper and are right across the street from the ocean front sites. (Yellow sites on the campground map) Still full service, still wooded and private. You can still see, smell and hear the ocean from the cheaper sites and then spend the money you save on some of the delicious sea food that's for sale everywhere down there.

The best weather is normally end of July and first two weeks of August but remember it is the New England coast so the weather has a mind of its own. The only thing the weatherman in Maine guarantees is that it's going to get dark at night!

We were allowed. 1 night stay (touring the area and just passing through) ,. I would look at it esp if you want longer term camping. It wasn't on the water but near.

Paradise Park Resort in Old Orchard Beach and Blackwoods in Acadia NP are both nice. Blackwoods has no hookups though. Generators are allowed, and there are water spigots here and there.
