Bar Harbor Campground

My husband and I have been going here for over 30 yrs and was always pleased until last year when it was taken over by American Campgrounds. No more first come first service, no choice of campsite, no benefit for staying more than a week. No improvements made either. Very sad

We had such a lovely stay at Bar Harbor Campground. We spent our days walking the dogs around the campground, and biking to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Everyone was so friendly. Can't beat that view, too! We were even lucky enough to see the Northern Lights! We can't wait to come back.

We stayed here last year for a night in the tent only ocean front lot. We came back this year for a week in the S loop. I was a little nervous reading the reviews on the new ownership but we had a wonderful time. The spaces were large and private. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. I saw someone most mornings cleaning them. Showers were hot! All of the staff we met were incredibly friendly. There is a laundry facility on site. Excellent proximity to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We have camped in the National Park before but the sites here are much nicer, larger and quieter. We can’t wait to return!

VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NEW MANAGEMENT! Our family have been very happy campers under the previous owners for many memorable years. What made this campground exceptional was their flexible model of first come first serve and owners who genuinely cared about their loyal campers, many native to Maine. Over the years we met some wonderful residents who appreciated how affordable it was to take their family on vacation. We recently had to cancel our reservation due to an unexpected family issue and were not able to get a refund. The previous owners understood their clientele and were very fair as they weighed each incident as needed. The new owners seem to use their policy as a one size fits all rather than trying to work with and accommodate existing customers during this transition. This campground grew and excelled over the years from word of mouth and sadly I don't see this to be the case now. Prices have doubled and the overall satisfaction with management is questionable for many regulars. It's a shame what has unfolded and for many families, this beautiful location will no longer be an option.

Great campground with amazing views of the bay. The campground was huge with great trails running along the coast. The trail was in a meadow, with pretty plants, wild Maine blueberries, and wild cranberries. The campsites were clean and pretty. The sites were also mainly free of bugs. The laundry room was nice. Wash and dry were 1 dollar, and there was a change machine that accepted 1 and 5 dollar bills. The public bathroom was sort of clean, and the showers were really nice. The shower was a quarter for 5 minutes. There was also a nice TV room and a quaint little rustic arcade. There was a lobster place right across the street from the campground (of course), and there was a bus stop that shuttles people around Acadia for free. I love this campground, and I highly suggest you stay here if you’re visiting Acadia!
