One of the nicest Federal campgrounds we have stayed at so far. The campsites have a good amount of space between them and overall it was quiet at night. The bathrooms were cleaned daily even during the shutdown. The sites are open to the sky with almost no branches overhead. It's a nice spot for star gazing.

The sites are open to the sky with almost no branches overhead. It's a nice spot for star gazing. We were here in October and we started to hear the fishing boats leaving the harbor around 5am. We enjoyed using the free shuttle to explore the hiking trails on the peninsula. The bike trails were challenging with loose pea stone gravel but scenic and fun.

This is a sensational representation of the “quiet” life of downeast Maine. The sites are very roomy and private. At night it is very quiet and very dark. Millions of stars to gaze at in quiet solitude. The area AND the campground is very family and dog friendly. Many MANY trails to hike, carriage roads to hike or bike, and gorgeous scenic drives.

At night it is very quiet and very dark. Millions of stars to gaze at in quiet solitude. The area AND the campground is very family and dog friendly. Many MANY trails to hike, carriage roads to hike or bike, and gorgeous scenic drives. If you need a playground on site…then you should look elsewhere…but if your kids love the outdoors and using their imagination…then these spacious private sites fit the bill. We stay several times a year and still love it. No full hookups, but they have a clean dump station.

This campground is perfect for a number of reasons. It’s so quiet here. I loved being able to take trails straight out from the campground and hike the beautiful peninsula. Winter Harbor is a quick bike ride or bus ride away. Has great restaurants and somewhere to buy groceries. The landscape is incredible. You can see all wildlife ( if you have dogs watch out for porcupines) Go to blueberry hill... This campground is perfect for a number of reasons. It’s so quiet here.

Has great restaurants and somewhere to buy groceries. The landscape is incredible. You can see all wildlife ( if you have dogs watch out for porcupines) Go to blueberry hill and take the flat trail to find plenty of blueberries. You can take a ferry over to Bar Harbor. It’s a gem!

I loved this campground. It was spacious enough for our rig and pickup truck and the site was clean and level. No sewer hookup but not a deal breaker. It was also beautifully secluded enough that you didn't see your neighbors. We stayed at site B14. The only issue we had was the water spigot leaked. When I addressed it with the ranger she said they would take care of it but it would probably be a... I loved this campground. It was spacious enough for our rig and pickup truck and the site was clean and level. No sewer hookup but not a deal breaker. It was also beautifully secluded enough that you didn't see your neighbors. We stayed at site B14. The only issue we had was the water spigot leaked. When I addressed it with the ranger she said they would take care of it but it would probably be after we left. I hated to leave the water on due to the leaking so it was a little hassle to turn the water on and off. Although we visited Bar Harbor several days, this spot is in close proximity to the town of Winter Harbor where there is a grocery store and plenty of quality restaurants! We loved driving around the loop, getting out and exploring the area as well as meeting the local folks! It's a very lovely campground and so relaxing within Acadia National Park. Definitely worth staying here and would come back again!

We have stayed at campgrounds in all four corners of the country and places in between. This was probably our favorite campground. It was quiet, clean, and private. The bathhouse (no showers) was modern and spotless. The campsites are tucked in amongst the trees and feel secluded. To get a campsite, you have to be online and ready to reserve as the clock hits 10:00 Eastern Time. We did this...

The bathhouse (no showers) was modern and spotless. The campsites are tucked in amongst the trees and feel secluded. To get a campsite, you have to be online and ready to reserve as the clock hits 10:00 Eastern Time. We did this and tried to get site B-28 but someone got it from under us. We picked site B-19 as a second choice and it turned out to be so much better. B-19 was a pull through, but it was long enough to make it private. If you get a chance, definitely try to stay at this campground. B Loop has electric and water connections. There are also some good hiking on the peninsula and nice bike trails. While staying at Schoodic Woods, we enjoyed visiting Bunker’s Seafood and Spirits and Musquito Brewing.
