Bar Harbor Campground

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!

The Bar Harbor Campground is very well kept and clean. It has several bathrooms with showers spread throughout the grounds, as well as trash dumpsters and water lines. The grounds are beautiful with a mix of open sites along the ocean side and protected/wooded sites deeper in. There’s also a small pond with campsites around it. The sites are very small. Between the picnic table and fire pit, our tent was basically touching the car. There was no room! The campground is exactly in the right spot. It’s close to Bar Harbor but far enough away to be secluded from the crowds.

First time staying here. Super quiet and very well maintained. They now accept reservations where they did not a couple years ago. Nice level gravel RV pads with enough room for big rigs. Tent areas are wooded but surprisingly very few bugs. Three shower areas, large laundry building and on the free bus line to downtown Bar Harbor and the National Park.

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.

Large, mostly wooded campground. We camped in a Class A and the site was nice and wide. This campground would be great for tent camping because of all the trees and privacy. There are 2 restaurants very close that we walked to. Both were excellent, lobster pound and BBQ. Very close to Bar Harbor and Acadia N P
