Great relaxing place with nice RV pads! They have long term and short term RV sites. We stayed in a short term spot near the water. So nice! The staff (Christian and Conner) are super friendly and helpful! You can tell they love what they are doing! The store on site has everything you need and at great prices! We definitely will be back!

We always love bringing our motorhome to this friendly and beautiful little park. Fine location and good utilities make your stay great. Close proximity to many shops, restaurants and attractions have kept us coming back. But the views are everything here, eagles and herons soar while we fish or crab off the docks right in front of our home away from home.

This was our 6th time stay at Bar Harbor because we love it some much. It's so nice to stay right on the water and to fish from the back of your camper. The staff is always friendly and the bathrooms are kept clean.

This is a beautiful campground on a beautiful river. We had a riverside site which was perfect. Although sites are close together, we never felt the lack of space. Sites are blacktop with a cement pad and are level. Bathrooms/showers modern and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. We will be back.

A Relaxing and Welcoming Stay – Will Definitely Return! This was my second stay at Bar Harbor RV Park, and once again, I had a very enjoyable experience. The campground is clean, peaceful, and well-maintained. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more pleasant. Before arriving, I was advised that the area can experience flooding during rain, and sure enough, there was some flooding near my campsite after a rainy day. While that was the only downside, I really appreciated that the staff gave a heads-up in advance. It shows they care about transparency and helping guests prepare. The location itself is beautiful, but I did give it three stars only because of the flood-prone areas during bad weather. Otherwise, everything else – from the facilities to the atmosphere – deserves high marks. I plan to keep Bar Harbor RV Park in my regular rotation of campgrounds to visit each year. Looking forward to returning again!
