Summer 2016 at Acadia

Thanks for the heads-up:C

I'll be there in May-will be interesting to see how busy it gets. Renting a cabin at the Oceanside KOA. Can't wait!

Sure... Now you tell me, we have reservations at Oceanside KOA in June.

Yup, same here.

We try to make it up there every year or so, usually in September for "Open Lighthouse Day" (second weekend in September). This year we are doing the Grand Slam Lighthouse Tour (17 lighthouses by boat) 7/30/16. then we'll do the self-guided tour of Acadia NP. If you haven't done it before you really should, get the CD at the welcome center best $12 I've spent. While I was listing to the story I kept thinking "I know that voice", I looked at the CD case only to find out it was an old friend I was in the Camera Club with years ago (small world).

Here's a link to it:

Here's another thought for you... They just open the new Schoodic Woods Campground is located on the Schoodic Peninsula section of the park. It's in Winter Harbor which is across Frenchman Bay from Bar Harbor. Here's the best part, they offer free water shuttle service to Bar Harbor which you can pick up several different tours of the Park (even hiking tours).

I really wanted to stay there this time, but I was afraid my RV would be to big and I really like Oceanside KOA.

The sites on the new B-loop are BIG. 50-70 feet in length, and from a satellite view they are wide and well spaced out.

We'll be there in June.

Thanks for the heads-up on the sites, but 'I'm already booked in at the KOA. Maybe next year... or maybe I'll do it in September, I'm only 2.5 hrs. away.

We'll be there late June till about Sept 1. Thanks for the link on the boat tours
