We stayed in our camper. The site had full hook ups and was large enough for our large 5th wheel. Our site had shade trees, fire ring and was quite. The employees were all very pleasant. The location is about a mile from Acadia hiking and a half mile from Bass Harbor Light house.

Great place to enjoy Acadia NP. Easy to find, close to light house and restaurants. Hosts are very friendly and the price was really good compared to every other campground. Clean bathrooms and showers. A lot of other amenities for the family, but we were there to just see the park. Highly recommend.

This was such a sweet little cozy campground! We spent half of our stay on Mt. Desert Island at this campground. The facilities were all really clean, the campground employees were SO kind and helpful (shout out to Sarah at the front desk who suggested a couple of the best activities we did during our visit, and Mike who helped us trouble shoot our RV!), and it was so conveniently located to explore the southern end of the island. The only thing to note which didn't bother us too much is the sites are on the smaller side and very close together, so it isn't super private. Overall, we loved our stay and we hope to come back and check out either the yurts or tent sites next time!

Overall, this was a very quiet and clean campground. Everyone was super nice and polite (staff and campers). Bathrooms were clean for the most part. The only real issue i had was my site (and most sites around us) was on the small size and had several stumps that made it annoying for our large tent (family of 6). Outside of that, due to its location and all other factors, its a fantastic little gem to get away from the crowds closer to bar harbor.

A great campground right near a lighthouse and Acadia National Park. They have bathrooms, showers, camp store, and even a dishwashing station outside their bathrooms. I got a site in the back, with electric, and it was perfect for my week-long stay. They also have a pool, a rec room and a little playground, perfect for the kiddos. Loved being able to walk to the lighthouse and having an easy drive to Acadia! The staff were also so nice and pleasant, this will definitely be on my list for campgrounds I'd stay at again.
