Bar Harbor / Oceanside KOA Holiday
User Reviews

Stayed in an Oceanside cabin here on a recent trip to Acadia National Park, and my wife, dogs, and I loved it. The cabin is cozy and spacious, right on the water, with a propane grill and a fire pit... Literally all we needed. There's also a gas station nearby thats within walking distance so it's easy to get more firewood, drinks, whatever without having to drive away. We did have some issues with hot water in that it was fairly nonexistent, but we worked around it and it wouldn't be too big of a deal if it's warmer out. When we come back up this way, we'll definitely look at staying here again.

We stayed here on a recent trip to Acadia. The cabin was absolutely perfect: clean, warm, & well stocked with kitchen and bathroom necessities. The campground had a lot of activities for kids and everything seemed well kept. Only a 15 mon drive from Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia. We LOVED our stay here. We would definitely stay here again!

We have been full time for 5 years. We are here doing the North east color tour. We tow a car hauler and booked their big rig friendly site for $135 a night. Once we got there they said they couldn't accommodate us. While there was plenty of places to park our car hauler they said no we weren't allowed. Take it to Walmart they suggested...... We were treated like second rate citizens. I will never return again to this campground. Smugglers den or Narrows too were both incredibly accommodating and kind. Choose to give them your money. They explained to me that this is a corporate owned campground which makes complete sense as to why they don't care at all. When trying to make our reservations as well, we called at 7:00 at night for after hours and the gentlemen who answered the phone was rude and not at all helpful. STAY AWAY from this campground. To many other good ones to waste your time and money here.

We loved this camp ground. The employees were so kind when we checked in! However, the woman cooking lobsters was extremely rude. As well as the woman making breakfast the next morning. Maybe just a bad day for both. Food was great. We were also 15 minutes behind leaving as we had an issue with one of our slides. We had an employee waiting on our campsite 5 minutes after 11:00am for us to leave. We get checkout is at 11 but to be sitting there watching us was odd. We were out of there by 11:15. By the time we were finished hooking up our truck he was already done checking our site. It seemed unnecessary and only doing it to make a point. Great spot and amenities. I wish they would enforce the speed limit a little more. We witnessed a few close calls.

One of my happy places. Amazing views, love being able to wander the tidal areas during low tide. Great location for access to Acadia and Bar Harbor area. Windy at times right on the ocean, fair warning. Good sized sites, could be a bit more level. Bath houses, laundry could be nicer/cleaner. Big dog park, but it was frequently nasty from folks not cleaning up after their pets. Shame on them, but the campground should have someone do doggy duty more frequently.

Clean. Beautiful views. Spaces were a little tight but normal for a KOA. Very quiet at night. Staff was great and friendly. Prices at cafe were a little high but food was good. Great location to visit Acadia.

Overall we had a great time. Friendly people and great location 20 or so minutes from Acadia. Couple complaints: we paid for a “premium tent site” that said it was waterfront (it was not) and advertised for a sand tent site (it was in fact gravel). We still appreciated being pretty close to the water, and definitely was secluded vs. the majority of the place. But expected more than what was paid for.

Nice place to camp. If you get lucky you could probably get a spot by the ocean. We were about 3 streets up. Staff is very friendly. We made reservations with there van to be taken to Bar Harbor and then be picked back up. Drivers are really friendly too.Took the Oli's Trolley to Cadillac Mountain and back 2 hour trip. Spent one day walking around Bar Harbor and shopping. Had a Great Time. Went to Acadia National Park.
