Bar Harbor-Oceanside KOA

This place is as pretty neat. We splurged a little for a waterfront site. Downside is it only had electric and water. Supposedly they have a honey wagon that comes through. We woke up to a gorgeous view every morning. It was a little to cold to sit outside.

The campground was clean and had a cute little stand that had breakfast in the morning and a lobster dinner at night. The lobster and corn were tasty but the coleslaw and postage salad side were substandard. We got it to go to take it back to our MH and within seconds the bottom of the bag was falling out and lobster juice was everywhere. So be careful. They also had lobster rolls, mussels, etc. and ice cream for dessert.
The campground had tight spaces but with picnic table and fire ring. It is also a great location for getting around. There was a laundry room with a lot of machines. Everything was very clean including the bathrooms.
There is a lot to do in the area so it makes for a great vacation.

Ok, I get it.. It's Maine in the summer so prices are high but $78 a night for partial hook-ups when you're packed in like sardines is outrageous!

We were fortunate enough to get a site on the water but it was a tight un-level fit for even our touring van.

We would stay here again but more during the off season and only on the water.

I can't say much about the facilities as we did not use them but the dog park was clean and the employees were all super friendly. The GM was great as well, originally booked for two nights but after booking we realized that the area was expecting heavy rains the next day and we couldn't justify paying $78 to be stuck inside our van all day so she let us cancel with no fee!

MDI is a beautiful island! This campground is on the island right when you cross over from the mainland. The price was high, but the location worked great for us. As Bar Harbor has become quite commercial, we only spent part of our time there and much of our time exploring Acadia National Park. This KOA was more convenient for us in exploring the island than staying in Bar Harbor. We did drive by the Bar Harbor RV park, however, it's commercial location and no-reservation system did not work for us. This park worked beautifully for us.

We had an end site, which created a spacious area for us. Some of the sites are incredibly close together, but if you reserve in advance and carefully choose your site you will find great options. We loved being near the water and having a tiny window view of the bay from our campsite. The laundry facility was extra large and extremely well maintained. This park offers an outside restaurant-like experience every night, however we did not utilize it. It had many of the typical KOA amenities. Although the price was high (our price reflects and extra $5 per night for our 3rd child), we would stay here again and reserve a spot earlier in the year so that we could have a waterfront site...the location was beautiful and convenient for touring the island.
