Bar Harbor - we've been to Acadia 3 times, always stayed at Blackwoods campground which is one of the park campgrounds. No hookups, but great campground. One neat thing to do is go to "Thunder Hole" at night and stargaze. Acadia Park is open 24 hours, and there are no crowds after dark!
Boston / Cape Cod - my first thought is that those are two different trips. Or you could spend a day in each, but not really see much.
For Cape Cod, we've stayed at Atlantic Oaks campground roughly in the middle of the Cape. The Cape has the "Railtrail" (old railroad bed converted to a bicycling trail), and Atlantic Oaks is right on it. You can travel up and down the Cape by using the bike trail. The Rail Trail is mostly straight and flat, so easy to go a long ways.
If you want to do the "Pilgrim thing", we stayed at Pinewood campground years ago. Just be aware that the boat Mayflower II is at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut right now being renovated / rebuilt, so it won't be back at Plymouth for a few years.
my dad isn't really keen on driving the rigs through beantown and logistically it looks like we have to. I really want to do Boston big so maybe I'm gonna scrap the idea and add days to other stops.
