Amazing campground. Feels a little like a national park with the wild and natural landscaping. Great views and beach area.

    Amazing campground. Feels a little like a national park with the wild and natural landscaping. Great views and beach area. Very quiet. It does not have a playground or any other “resort style” amenities, so may not be best for some young families or those looking for pools, laundry, and bath houses. But for those looking for a beautiful spot nearby Acadia with spacious sites, full hookups and phenomenal internet this is your place. We loved it and kind of want to keep it this areas best kept secret… but I’m sure the owners (who are very nice, and we’re so kind) would appreciate getting the word out! We will definitely be back.

This is a wonderful place to stay on the quiet side of Acadia NP. The sites are level and easy to access. The grounds are beautiful.

    This is a wonderful place to stay on the quiet side of Acadia NP. The sites are level and easy to access. The grounds are beautiful. The dog park is good sized. The owners & hosts are very nice & helpful. Lots of restaurants nearby for wonderful lobster rolls, ice cream & blueberry pie. My only disappointment was that there’s no recycling program, even for redeemable bottles & cans (which we decided to bring home to recycle). Other than that, this is a wonderful place to camp. We stayed 5 nights.

    One of the best campgrounds we have ever visited to date. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The grounds were immaculate and the sites roomy. Fantastic WiFi and Cell Service. Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia NP are absolutely stunning but I can honestly say there were times we just wanted to stay back at the campground. We had a wonderful, quiet, and relaxing stay. We are already talking about our next visit. Thank you!
