Merry Christmas to all. Can anyone recommend a good camp ground in/around bar harbor. Thank you in advance.

Bar Harbor Oceanfront KOA. Worth every penny.

We stayed at Narrows Two a few years back. Great view and nice pool. Not far from town would stay again.

A couple of years ago now, we spent 2 weeks at Bar Harbor Oceanfront KOA. We had a waterfront site, which was easily the most beautiful and picturesque site we've ever occupied. And the most expensive @ $95/nt back then (no sewer hookups on waterfront sites).

Every night in the center of the CG, a guy comes in and cooks up lobsters and corn on the cob for sale. Decently priced and totally awesome! You can rent kayaks and paddle the area, which is well protected.

The CG is a short ride to Acadia or the town of Bar Harbor. The non-waterfront sites are nothing to get excited about, so if the price of those turns you off, look elsewhere......

Me too. Bar Harbor Campground, but do not try eating a whole lobster. Man, what a mess. 🙂

We like the Bar Harbor Campground also. We've also stayed at the KOA and it's also good, but we like the Bar Harbor Campground better.

We've stayed at Patton Pond RV Resort a couple of times. Big rig friendly and they have their own lobster pound - will cook them at no charge for you, love that. You tell them you want two at 5:30 and you walk up and lick up two hot lobsters at 5:30.

I'm also a fan of Bar Harbor Camoground for the location - ideal if you are there to spend time in the NP. I was worried about getting a site but it's a big place. You can have a cooked lobster dinner delivered to your campsite (as is true for many CGs in Maine.)

Also stayed at Narrows Too. Great view if you can get a waterfront site!

Bar Harbor Campground on the left just before the entrance to Acadia National Park. Big sites, paved roads, quiet, clean bath rooms, and friendly staff. Cash / checks only, no credit cards. No reservations. Drive in and check in at the office. They give you a map and you go pick out a site that is not being used. Set up, then go back to the office and pay for your stay. Stay six nights and the seventh night is free. Great place to stay and within walking distance to the Bar Harbor ice cream bar. Enjoy.

Narrows Too is a nice big rig friendly and wide open campground. I believe they take reservations. There is also, a KOA not far from there they do not take reservations. These both are on the out skirts of town of Bar Harbor. There are shuttles that stop at just about all campgrounds in the area. You can get into town from these shuttles and take exursions or other shuttles to take you around to the sites. Afterwards catch a shuttle back to the campground. Very convenient.

Above are all good suggestions....but goldanggit -- don't forget to eat some authentic Maine lobsters!!! 😉

Be sure to have dinner at the BBQ restaurant at the Atlantic Brewing Company. It's on the island, look it up. And be sure to have a Coal Porter. Merry Christmas.

Two years ago we spent two nights at a nice RV park located at the South end of an airstrip. Arrived on a Sunday evening and I have never seen so many private aircraft together at one time. Turboprops and Jets lined up to carry their owners home to other East coast destinations after a week end vacation I suppose. Nice destination!

We stayed at the Bar Harbor Campground a few years ago. No complaints. Quite large and close to town but they don't accept reservations.
