Mt Desert Campground

This campground was perfect location to Acadia and to town of Bar Harbor. The shuttle comes right to the campground that will take you into town-that was a huge draw for us as parking a giant truck downtown was not ideal. Some of the water front spots are extremely tight and you do not have much space between RVs-some are a little more spaced out. We will def come back again because of the ease of access to all the places we wanted to be!

Mt Desert Campground is a rare place - heavily wooded with oceanbay sites. Best for tent campers, it does have a limited number of water and electricity sites that can handle travel trailers up to 20'. We've vacationed here off and on for two decades and measure all other campgrounds against it. Most sites are very private and many of the tent sites include wooden platforms due to uneven topography and wind along the waterfront. But that's what makes it great. It's always packed with families and kids but it is super quiet at night. And access to Acadia National Park is what makes it great. Plus Mt Desert Campground is right in the middle of Mount Desert so its easy to get to any part of the island.
