Acadia National Park - New Campground

[wxtoad]

Acadia NP is opening a new campground later this summer. Schoodic Woods Campground is over on the Schoodic Peninsula just southeast of Winter Harbor. It will have a total of 96 campsites: 34 RV sites, 50 tent and small RV sites and 12 hike-in sites. Some sites will have electric or electric/water hookups.

The Acadia NP website has the new campground opening on 1 Aug 2015 on a first-come/first-served basis for the rest of the season. However, heavy winter snow has delayed the scheduled opening until 1 September.

Beginning in 2016, the campground will be part of the National Recreation Reservation Service (NRRS) and will be open from May to Columbus Day.

Since Ocean Woods CG closed back in 2009, there has been no place to camp on the Schoodic Peninsula.
