Lovely campground. Good mix of nature and amenities. Great location- 10 minute drive to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. Great customer service- everyone was very helpful. We liked the convenience of adding firewood, ice, coffee, or whatever else we needed to our online account and paying everything at once when we checked out. Definitely planning to return next season!

One of the best campgrounds I’ve ever been to. Everything is so well maintained and properly organized. Clean and neat restrooms. Great place, we really enjoyed our stay.

Wow, what a gem. We tent camped and found everything we needed. We basically used it as a spot to sleep and didn't take advantage of the water sport options but they looked excellent. It was less than ten minutes to Cadillac Mountain gate and about twelve to downtown Bar Harbor Quiet and lots of trees. Platform spots on the water looked amazing but our tent for six would not have fit which was fine. The doughnuts at the Gathering Place were delicious on Tuesday morning. The staff was sweet and the best part was the limited length of the trailers made it quiet even more with out larger trucks hauling in big pull behinds

Nice campground with some stunning sites right on the water. Other sites are great as well,.and the Gathering Place is a wonderful idea. Bathrooms are clean. I'd give this place 5 stars if not for the pay showers. This is pathetic. $1 for five minutes. Quarters only. What are you thinking??? Ridiculous.

Questions & Answers

Is it really nice up there and how are the prices

Keep in mind you're only allowed one car per campsite. Additional cars need to be parked by the main road at the entrance, which is nowhere near the campsites.

You can reserve a site on their website. It's very easy to use, you get to pick the site you want to camp on, and you can see pictures of the sites.

The restrooms are cleaned throughout the day and are some of the cleanest I've seen in a campground.

Is there picnic tables & fireplaces on all sites? Is there an area to lunch a canoe if your site is not on the water?

Skip Griesche | May 16, 2018

Yes, there are picnic tables and fire pits on all sites. For launching a canoe there is a boat ramp and also a public dock.
