The TV volume was extremely low and was bothering nobody. I could hear multiple crying children in the distance over the low volume of my tv but the staff didn't knock on their camper doors and tell them no crying after 10pm. Apparently adults can't be respectful adults and enjoy themselves for an hour when their kids go to bed. Will never come back to this place.

This was our second stay at the campground. We returned because we had a decent experience the…read morefirst time a few years back. Bad Experience: Prior to booking our reservation, we called and spoke with someone about our specific gear needs and they recommended a few sites that we should request in order to fit and feel comfortable. While there was an additional fee to reserve a specific site, we were told to book online and enter the range of sites we preferred and one of those would be reserved. You can imagine our frustration and panic when we arrived to what I would call one of the smallest tent sites in the campground - one that wouldn't fit our 6 person tent, let alone our second tent, our screen house, and leave space for a car. We expressed our frustration with the woman at the counter who apologized for the misinformation we were given. She then explained that for an additional charge, we could upgrade to an RV site because all of the large tent sites were reserved. Mind you, we just drove 2.5 hours and it's now dinner time so driving back home wasn't quite an option. I was not impressed to find out that as a result of one of their employees providing us misinformation, we could pay even more for a larger site. I would have just paid the small fee to book a specific site had I been told this was going to happen to us. People make mistakes, that's understandable - though it's frustrating to leave us in a position to be forced to pay more as a result. After further negotiations, the woman at the counter did upgrade us and provided us a small discount - resulting in us paying an additional $15 above the original reservation. Note: this experience won't prevent us from visiting again in the future. We've just learned that we are better off booking over the phone and paying the fee to reserve a specific site. The Good: - the campground and facilities are clean and well kept - the staff are friendly - the pool is nice, clean, and kept at a nice warm temp on cooler days - the campground offers fun activities to entertain families - the Island Explorer is a free shuttle bus that will bring you into town so you don't have to compete for parking - it's located about 20 minutes from Acadia NP and from Bar Harbor with plenty of stores in either direction for all of your forgotten items

This place is good but there are pros and cons. The pros…read moreare the unisex shower rooms; they are huge single rooms that have a spacious shower, toilet, sink, and hot water constantly that is included with your stay. But on the other hand there is typically always a wait because in Bathroom area only has 8 and if people aren't going in with there significant others it fills up fast. There is also free WiFi which is nice. The amenities were great The camping site was extremely small. We could barely fit our small 3 person tent. The fire ring was only steps from the area we could put the tent. And then there was the opening to the field that we could see other tents as well as the play area for people. It was hard to get any privacy, I could clearly hear my neighbor tenters, and we didn't have many trees so it made it hard to hang things. We made the most of our site but the next morning when our neighbors left we asked if we could switch to that site because it was more secluded and they wouldn't let us which was a little disappointing. The pool was closed the whole time for some reason (I didn't know why). The place is pretty nice, the people are nice, but I was hoping for a better site. I am used to camping deep in the woods so this is just a personal opinion but I prefer more privacy but I didn't know!

I can't begin to say how NOT worth this campground is. First the beach areas are very small and…read morefilled with rocks so you can't comfortably stay on the beach. The Cafe is wayyyyyy OVERPRICED, the campground is boring and overcrowded. The General Manager is awful doesn't care about any complaints or concerns you have he's nasty and unwilling to help with concerns. The staff is nice they treated you friendly. It's way way way to overpriced isn't child friendly with only one playground that's not that nice. The maintenance staff is very nice and help in anyway. Not to mention Bar Harbor itself although beautiful downtown restaurants food is awful and with only t-shirt shops or ice cream stores so if you're looking for some shopping you'll only get t-shirts. So all and all I'd skip Bar Harbor and go to Candem Maine but if you go definitely ski the KOA.

Stayed here labor day weekend 2025, and to say its was a complete and utter disappointment would be…read morean understatement. For years my wife has wanted to stay at this campground and when we finally made it happen it was such a disappointment. We booked our stay in March 2025, and reserved an ocean front back in site water electric. We arrive and they have is in a pull through across from the Ocean Front site we booked water and electric. My wife called the office to see if a mistake was make and Brenda at the office implied that my wife had no idea what she had reserved even though we had an email confirmation showing we had reserved an ocean front site. Brenda then completely dismissed my wife saying well we don't have any available anyway. There was no attempt to make this right whatsoever. We understand booking issues arise but for no communication prior to our arrival of the change was frustrating especially since we would have chosen a full hookup site had we been informed of the unavailability of an ocean front site. Our site was incredibly unleveled causing us to be unable to use the main entrance to our camper requiring our guests to walk through our bedroom to gain access to the bathroom and living room of our camper. We had emailed the campground about the experience as their handout requested to contact them before writing a bad review. Well it's over two weeks later and no one has responded to my wife's email. I would strongly recommend you skip this KOA they certainly do not care about your experience just your money!

I'm no stranger to parks and beautiful natural places, but Acadia is like a dreamscape. There's…read morestunning ocean views from crumbling gorgeous cliff sides. 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.

Acadia National Park has been on my list of "must visit" parks for years. I've been talking to…read morevarious friends about a trip there for a while. While searching for a last-minute 4-day weekend birthday trip - the timing seemed to work out to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia. I was here from 30 April - 03 May and loved it. Not everything was open, but enough was open that I was able to explore and see most of what I wanted in Acadia (Cadillac mountain opened ON 30 April so, we were able to drive to the top, park and walk around without a permit/pass before season starts in a few weeks. We hiked Beehive, Jordan Pond, Ocean Path, Homan's Trail and a few other short park and walk items. By far, my favorite was Beehive as it's just scary/steep enough to give you a thrill, gorgeous views. I also loved Homan's trail - easy and short, but beautiful rock work. The ranger also told me that one of the women who originally donated a ton of the land for Acadia and wanted to do so anonymously was last name Homan, so this is honor of her. And what a beautiful trail it is! The visitor's center is small but as always, friendly and helpful rangers who helped me prioritize my must-sees and map out the best use of time/driving to get to everything I wanted to do in two short days. Schooner Point lookout is also an easy/quick stop off before entering one of the park entrances - and a beautiful view of the ocean. Bar Harbor is charming and fun and welcoming and at that time in late April/early May - no waits for anything as season is just beginning. Can't wait to come back!

We arrived late in the day and went to Anemone Cave. OK, this was a bit of a fail. The coastal scenery was nice, but the area around the cave was very slippery and I never made into the cave after seeing how hard it would be to get in there and then back out. Someone familiar with the site told me there weren't any anemones there anyway. So that was a bit of a fail. But the next day we went up Cadillac Mountain, drove around the main part of the park, stopped at the beach and Thunder Hole before having a late lunch at Jordan Pond. It was all very nice and we enjoyed it. The next day, we went to the western side of Mt. Desert Island and saw the part of the park over there. Very nice and much less crowded! Overall, it's a beautiful place and I would definitely recommend it if you are in Maine and have the time (and if you dont, you should try to make time for it).

This was a great base to explore the area from and we really enjoyed our time there. The only issue we had during our stay was connectivity.

Summary: we will not be staying at this campground again, nor will the friends we were camping…read morewith, and we will be recommending AGAINST this place to anyone that's interested or that we think might be interested in traveling to this fantastic part of the country. Mirroring comments from other users, we were packed in to campsites barely wider than our rigs with awning nearly touching the rig in the next site. We also really enjoyed tripping over the neighbors sewer connection - as an added benefit. There are ZERO activities, nothing for kids - this is the first campground I've been to that has no playground. Nothing. That might be intentional based on the staff interactions - my take is that they are not kid people. Or people people, in some cases. The pool was OK, but we were concerned about the contradicting pool rules that were posted so were quite on edge. As other commenters have stated, the staff seem to arbitrarily enforce non-existent or non-posted rules. We were harassed by one staff member for driving near an area that was posted 'No Parking'. I spent some time with that person trying to understand the connection but gave up. Note that vehicles were accessing this area during our entire stay. This resulted in a smug manager visiting our site - and under implied threat of getting kicked out, we offered an apology for the interaction. If we had been camping alone, I would have left that moment and enjoyed one of the many other campgrounds in the area. This was an absolutely HORRIBLE experience that we will not experience again. At least they made some effort to change their signage while we were there, I assume, as a result of our wonderful interaction, but it's still unclear and does not convey their ambiguous intention. Or maybe that's what they intend. Oh, and the dog park - here's another Narrows too rule - dogs MUST be restrained on a 6' leash while in the dog park. Despite the absolutely beautiful surroundings, this site is a NO GO for us. We chose this place because it was the cheapest. Don't do it. Advise against it. Spend another $20/day elsewhere and you will likely get some positive customer service, among other standard campground amenities. Thank you.
