We stayed here for our time at Bar Harbor and loved it! When you arrive, they tell you to drive around the campground and find the spot that you like. Then you head back to the office to tell them which site you selected.
They do not accept credit cards for payment. Cash or check only. And they do not take advance reservations. The place filled up for Labor Day weekend, but was pretty quiet during the week.
There are open, waterfront, and wooded sites. All of them in great shape. The restrooms were clean and all of the showers were in great working order. The showers are 25 cents for 5 minutes.
The campground is a stop along the local bus route, so you can get to Acadia NP or downtown Bar Harbor via the shuttle.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if we come back to this area.

Note that the rate above was for 7 nights. Technically the 7th night was free. We pulled in on a Monday just after noon.

We pulled in on a Monday just after noon. The helpful staff told us that she thought two water view sites were still available. She was right.
I'd give K11 5 stars! We had space between our neighbors and a nice water view.
After you pick your site, all first come, you then go back and pay. I could not be happier with the campground and our site. Sometimes you get very luck on sites. A local told told us that he had been to the park for the last 9 years and never got a water view site. Another person said they always come on Sunday or Monday at noon and they always get a water view site.
Good pool, clean restrooms and small dump.
There is restaurant that sits on the edge of the campground. They have good BBQ and there is a great ice cream place there.
Short drive into the park and town.

This will definitely be where we land next time we roll in to Baa Haaba.

As there are no reservations they tell you there are plenty of sites which is true but many sites may be too small for you to actually fit into which does cause some problems. The sites vary in size & accessibility as people can pick their own site you get a small travel trailer in a site which would easily fit & 45' RV & vehicle then alternatively a large RV or 5th wheel has to fit into a site made for a small travel trailer leaving 1/2 out on the road.
Ok. That's the downside.
The good thing is that they have a full range of sites with 30 & 50 amp ( 50 amp are full hook up ) , some with no power & others with water & power.
Good water pressure.
Internet which is good.
It has a local bus to take you to both Acadia NP & Bar Harbor. This service is free.
Laundry washers. $1.00 & dryers $1.00

One of my favorite campgrounds on Mount Desert Island, this is the closest campground to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park and a stop on the free "Island Explorer" bus service. While there are two National Park campgrounds on the island that offer many wooded and private sites, those campgrounds are dry. Bar Harbor campground offers hookups and wooded, private sites. If you want privacy, and a woodsy feel vs. the "parking lot" feel, while enjoying hookups, this is the place to stay
Facilities are great, close to lobster pounds, and walking distance from a great ice cream stand.
They have a few "water view" sites, but they are completely exposed and close to each other.
Keep in mind that they do not accept reservations nor do they accept credit cards (they do accept checks and have an ATM on site). This can be very convenient if you do not have a reservation on a busy weekend and need a place to stay. Acadia gets very busy during the summers and most other campgrounds fill up way ahead of time, specially on the holiday weekends. You should be able to find a spot even during the super busy labor day weekend.
They offer fee wifi and has decent Verizon LTE coverage, I can't say how strong the signal was since I did not pay attention.
I have stayed at 7 different campgrounds on the island (I live just an hour away) and this is my favorite place to stay on the island.
