Duck Harbor Campground

Camping at Duck Harbor was one of the quietest, most peaceful experiences I have ever had. There are only 5 campsites, all with covered, wooden platforms to sleep on. In early October, right before the end of the season, none of the other four sites were occupied.

Camping at Duck Harbor was one of the quietest, most peaceful experiences I have ever had. There are only 5 campsites, all with covered, wooden platforms to sleep on. In early October, right before the end of the season, none of the other four sites were occupied. There is a fresh water pump a short hike away and the hiking trails around the southern half of the island are wonderful. I could not recommend it more highly for anyone who enjoys camping off the beaten path and wants to avoid the crowds of the Mount Desert Island part of the park.

The trails here are brutal. You need to be in good shape to even handle the easy trails. That is the one pictured. People were passing me by like I was standing. I do recomend a hiking stick I don't know how... The campground is the hardest to book in Acadia National park, only 5 tent sites. The location is what makes it worthwhile.

My adventure-loving Dad brought our family here when we were kiddos in the 1970s. Incredible beauty and escape from reality! Be sure to hit sunsets from Eben's Head. Enjoy beach peas and blueberries in mid-summer. Great mountain biking. Swimming in the ocean will make Turner Pond feel like a hot-tub! If you like the Great Outdoors, you'll love Isle au Haut! Put this place on your bucket lis... My adventure-loving Dad brought our family here when we were kiddos in the 1970s. Incredible beauty and escape from reality!
