My campsite for the next 2 nights.
Stanley W.

This was a fantastic find. When I arrived at 10:30 in the morning I only wanted to get some information about the island. I was given a couple different maps and was given several things to do for exploring and hiking. After that I was told that my site was ready and I was able to get there and set up all before 11:30 am. Now this is not to be expected because check-in is 1 pm. I got lucky. The whole place is very clean, well maintained, and the friendly atmosphere is exceptional. Even the bathrooms are spotless. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be returning.

Enjoying the beautiful evening with a campfire outside our cabin.

Our family stumbled upon Hadley's several years ago and we've made it a point to return each year since. We love their friendly, helpful staff, their cabins, the cleanliness of the campground and the location. Located just outside of downtown Bar Harbor, it's a quick trip to Acadia National Park and all the wonderful things that the area has to offer. After a day of hiking, sightseeing and/or enjoying the downtown, it's nice to return to the peace of the campground away from all the hustle and bustle. Hadley's offers tent sites, camper sites and (our personal favorite) several cabins. Their cabins offer 1 queen sized bed, a set of bunkbeds, a bathroom and a heat/air-conditioning unit.The cabins also offer a small covered porch, a picnic table and fire pit. Most of the cabins are pet friendly so your pup is more than welcome to tag along! Reservations are old school - can only be made by calling - and begin after the first of the year. If you call during the first couple days they begin taking reservations, it may take a couple hundred calls to get thru, but I promise, it's WORTH IT!! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place and their awesome staff and will be coming back for years to come.

Someone who looked homeless came unannounced into my campsite at 1030 pm!, when my kids were asleep in the tent. When I asked why they didn't announce themselves they got offended and gave me a really hard time, getting very upset with me, even after simply explaining why I was uncomfortable. This happened 2 different nights. After this they then called my wife while we were on a hike very upset with me for questioning why their staff members came into out site 2 different nights unannounced. I thought, in reality, if I pay $500 for a few nights in the woods I had the right, as a customer, to ask simply why they kept coming into my campsite; but apparently I was wrong when it came to this campground. If you like paying tons of money for campsites to have staff come into your site to bother you in the late hours of the night this is the campground for you.

Folks, I don't really know what to say other than 'you just gotta come here!'…read moreI love this place! I came through on a hum last year, stayed for 2 nights and 3 days. Told Shirley (the owner) I would be back "next year" to help out, and here I am, Aug. 8th, 2019, sad to leave after spending 4 weeks in the grand teepee, helping out around the camp. Off route 1, into the woods, to grandmama's RV we go! But it is so much more... tent sites, group sites, great trails, and great vibe from the surrounding community. But what you really want to know is; this is a great base for exploring coastal Maine & Downeast. Now understand 2 things... Downeast is on the coast, but when the term 'downeast' is used, it is very much a reference to the culture of the folk who grew up and live here and have also known it through the generations of their family. Once you get here, you're in the thick of what "coastal Maine" really is without the crowds of Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, etc.. from Cottonwood you will find within 20 mins. Never crowded beaches with all the beauty of those other places... and you can also make a day trip of getting to Easport or Calaise and just breath in New Brunswick! Oh yeah, bring your passport... One of the other things I love about camping here, are the various small sites that are suitable for bicyclers and bikers who travel with minimal gear and need to stop for short stays. Even though its right off the road, once in, you're cast into the woods! Oh yeah, and I can't think of another camp with such a great bath house along this route... Cottonwood Camping is truly a great experience and my pick as a base for exploring Downeast, Coastal Maine, the far north on the east side of the U.S. Shirley Cotton makes it happen! She is the BOMB!!

I can honestly say this place was easy to find and very photogenic. Easy to recommend.read more

We stayed here on the B Loop 54 and loved the location. This campsite is more isolated and spread…read moreout than others. We walked around the other campsites and they were quite close to each other and not as much privacy. The Picnic table at our campsite could be updated. The Campsite overall has a fairly flat area and plenty of space for our 6 person tent, coleman tent over the picnic table and chairs. The check in process was easy and directions to our campsite were easy to follow from the map they gave us. Note, there is a water station next to the check in house (we only found about it on our last day). You will have to get firewood (easily found as you come into Acadia), ice ($4-5 a bag) and shower (practically outside the campground for 1.75 cents for 1 min 45 sec of shower ...add 25cents for extra 15 seconds). The bathrooms are clean. The only thing was that they ask you not to was at the sink ; rather bring water to your campsite, wash it there and just bring back the dirty water for disposal - bring a water bucket or two. The campground is very centrally located and we found ourselves only about 20 minutes or less from all the places we wanted to go to.

Reserving this campground is tricky. Exactly 60 days in advance of your desired trip, you must be…read moreon recreation.gov at 6am (if you're in CA) and have in mind a handful of spots that you'd like to park your tent. In fact, it's a good idea to check online which spots might potentially be available a few days before you actually book. If you make a mistake while reserving, may the good Lord have mercy on you because corrections are more difficult than the reservation itself. Camping in Blackwoods is pleasant, clean, spacious, has respectful guests, and plenty of trees to tie up a canopy to protect from the sudden rain showers. With much to like, there's quite a bit of inconvenience. Having no showers on the premises is my biggest gripe. After hiking for most of the day, there's no getting around needing a shower. If you drive (that's right, drive) down the road a little ways outside the campground, there's a place that sells showers for $3 in quarters (that's 12 quarters) for 4 minutes. Apparently, you can obtain 12 quarters with a credit card, but reviewers warned that sometimes the machine is out of order so BYOQ. While Blackwoods asks that you only bring local wood for campfires (within a 50 mile radius), our party found the local firewood (which can be purchased at the shower place or across the street from the shower place) too wet from the frequent showers. Thus, making a campfire was challenging and frustrating even for our resident Eagle Scout. Undeniably, the restrooms are clean, but I found myself without toilet paper in some of the stalls. Luckily, a friend was able to hand me some TP. Speaking of paper, there are no hand towels or soap in the bathroom; however, I did see one outlet in the bathroom that some were using to charge their phones. Another inconvenience is that there is no dishwash station. In fact, not only do you wash your dishes at your camping site by walking to the spigot to get water (make your own hot water), but you have to walk to a different and farther station to dump your dishwater out so as to not clog the pipes with food. When it comes to dishwashing, there's a lot of walking back and forth. Get your 2 buckets. Get some water for washing and another for rinsing. Walk back to camp site. Heat up the water. Wash your dishes. Rinse your dishes. Walk to wash water disposal. Walk back to camp site. For entertainment, the amphitheater had nightly presentations. On one occasion, we attended one on animals in the park, but at the first sound of thunder, the ranger called it and we all had to go back to our camp sites. Surprisingly, our campground and Acadia NP in general was bereft of animals. Living in the suburbs of CA, one can see more wildlife than in Acadia NP. Before arriving at the NP, I had full intentions of using the free shuttles, but the shuttle schedules and transfers could cost you hours of time so we opted to drive our own car and brave the limited parking. Camping successfully at Blackwoods requires grit and determination. If you got it, go for it.

My kids loved the pool which proved to be stiff competition to all the hiking and site seeing in Acadia. Smuggler's is very dog friendly to those dogs on a leash.

They give you lobster, pot, salt, shell crackers and plenty of advice if you've never cooked a lobster before. You just need your own butter. All for $7 a pound! (August 2018) In all a really great place to make memories. As I write this, I think they're even having some sort of entertainment tonight with hot dogs and music.

There are lakes, streams, ponds, scenic lighthouses, boats, bikes, trails, gardens, crazy hikes with vertical iron rungs, rolling forest hikes, lighthouses, and more! The main issue you'll run into is crowds.. lots of people want to come here, especially in July and August. Best thing to do, go in as early as possible, do some things, take a break, go back again after 3. If you're early, you can get a parking spot then work from there. If you are flexible on time, take advantage of the shuttles, but be warned, they may be full, and they don't run every 10-15 minutes, so plan accordingly. I would be in the park by 7, have plans maybe on a tour in Bar Harbor late morning or early afternoon, then head back after 4, and I got to all the must-do's, ie hiked the Beehive, the Bubbles, Cadillac Mountain sunrise and sunset (reserve this early as spots sell out, I booked mine 3 months in advance the minute they released and they were sold out shortly later, especially sunrise tickets), Jordan Pond and popovers, Bass Harbor Lighthouse, as well as some boat tours in the area, including very successful whale and puffin watching. For more hints and tips, I watched some YouTube videos, there's great info out there, especially the videos from Ash, a former park ranger, who has loads of helpful tips to get around and not spend your trip sitting in traffic or waiting in a parking spot.

Did we go in a wrong entrance or something?!…read more I was underwhelmed for sure. We walked a few trails and took some photos but ??? Im very glad we hit Cadillac Mountain - that's where it's at!!!
