Forest Ridge Campground and RV Park

Ruth Moore

I am a local healthcare provider and reached out to ask permission to walk from the road to the Woodlawn Trails. My team and I like to walk on slow times or lunches, and asking permission was the right thing to do. Sadly, the answer was no. The owners weren't rude, but they stated that my daughter and I walking on our lunch hour would be too much risk and liability for them. I get it, but I also get there is a life after tourist season, and I was raised to believe that locals help locals. In our case, we would have traded off a day of trash patrol for walking access that would have saved us a drive. But ok. We'll drive. I wonder if Woodlawn is as picky about walkers, since the Dyers post "no trespassing signs" facing the Woodlawn trails, but use the Woodlawn trails as a selling point. Not very neighborly.... In any case, I won't recommend a business that is so afraid of liability that they deny a simple request from a local provider. We can walk elsewhere.

We stayed one week and were very pleased with the campground and owners. Very quiet and friendly. The site was level and had full hookups for 45' coach. Lots of room. The owners were knowledgeable about all of the surrounding areas and gave us the best advice on when the best times to tour the area. Located in the middle of some historic and beautiful country just a short drive to Bar Harbor.

Read the rules before you book this place and it will explain it all. The campground is clean and very quiet all hours of the day. The transient sights were mostly empty during our stay this past August. We stayed a week and saw a lot of campers coming in for just one night, even on Friday and Saturday wich is odd for mid summer in such a popular area. The owners were there but don't expect to be smiled at or spoken to. The staff that live on sight are similar. As others have said in previous reviews you feel like your watch at all times for rule breaking. It's like staying with super strict parents that want you to be seen but not heard and I'm 49 yrs old. We weren't here to party, we aren't those kind of people. We didn't feel comfortable sitting outside by our fire pit the hole time we were there. On the plus side it was clean, quiet and I felt safe walking around withy dogs. The 5 mile and hour rule did keep the dust down but my truck wanted to die at this speed

Not really happy with service at this campground. Mistake on our part we got there to early. Person at desk would not accommodate us when the site that we booked was empty. Decided to go to another campground who who accommodate us. So worth having to pay for another site. Campground was nicer and staff was much nicer and better service. Bar Harbor was much more accommodating and far more reasonable in price. Located closer to town and Acadia. Regardless of what check in time. I get the rules. Every other place I’ve been if space is available will accommodate.

We spent two nights at Forest Ridge. The campground is clean, small, and the people are exceptionally nice. They have a wealth of information of things to do and places to eat. They know the best places to go in Acadia NP, and were very helpful. The sites are level, clean and the hookups are in good working order. Try the blueberry pie at Union River Lobster Restaurant. It's delicious!! We enjoyed our stay very much.

Quiet, small. Equitable, fair rules strictly enforced. The owner and his wife are personable and nice. We have summered in other camps. This one is best for us.

This was one of the best campgrounds we have ever been to. Friendly and welcoming with great recommendations, clean and quiet, with magnificent amenities; beautiful nature walk, pool, cable for rainy days. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star was a simple text after we left blaming us for a missing peice and just charging my card automatically for a replacement without giving us an opportunity to see if maybe we accidentally took something that wasn't ours. After receiving the text, we pulled right over on the highway rest stop to check our gear, but only found our own (which was what we had to use at the site). It was a little bit of a let down to be charged so quickly without a courtesy call. Although it was a cheap charge, it's a shame that cheap charge couldn't have been footed by the profit of the 5 nights we stayed there instead of blaming and charging us for something that may have been missed in a previous site check.

Great sites and quiet.

Great campground for seeing Acadia and Bar Harbor. Clean, well kept, first class RV campground.

I really am enjoying my time here at Forest ridge campground in Ellsworth Maine. I've had zero issues with power or water or sewer. The laundry is more than adequate the owners very thoughtful and accommodating. Hope to be back next year.
