Acadia National Park Seawall

Stayed at Seawall for three nights while in the park recently. Check in was very easy and the rangers were helpful in explaining the campground rules.

Check in was very easy and the rangers were helpful in explaining the campground rules. My site was in the A-loop and was very well maintained. Bathrooms and water were conveniently located to the camp sites and were well kept. It is a bit of a distance from the Bar Harbor side of the park and driving through the Southwest Harbor is slower speeds, but the traffic through was minimal. Exploring the towns on this end was a good experience as they were not as busy as the other side. Even considering that most of my park activities required driving to the other side, I still thoroughly enjoyed staying here.

Seawall Campground is an official national park campground for Acadia, but it’s a good 20-40 minute drive from the main attractions of the park (depending on where you’re going). The only spot it’s close to is the Bass Harbor Lighthouse. It’s dog friendly and has water and bathrooms, but no showers. If you’re bringing a dog, you can sign them up for the Bark Ranger program here! (Metal tags availa...

Much more out of the way than Blackwoods Campground— you’ll have to drive to get to Acadia’s main attractions, and the closest town (Southwest Harbor) is not as tourist/camper-oriented as Bar Harbor. Convenient for sunset or sunrise visits to Bass Harbor Lighthouse, and only a 5 minute walk to the Seawall picnic area (great for stargazing and sunrises) or a 15 minute walk to the natural seawall (b... Much more out of the way than Blackwoods Campground— you’ll have to drive to get to Acadia’s main attractions, and the closest town (Southwest Harbor) is not as tourist/camper-oriented as Bar Harbor. Convenient for sunset or sunrise visits to Bass Harbor Lighthouse, and only a 5 minute walk to the Seawall picnic area (great for stargazing and sunrises) or a 15 minute walk to the natural seawall (beautiful at sunset). The campsites are a bit more separated from each other than the ones at Blackwoods, and the amenities are otherwise the same (flush toilets, potable water, and a dumpster, but no showers).
