Mount Desert Campground

I am also responding to the reviews below. I am one of the campers that stayed on one of the sites. As this being my first time visiting this campground, I had high hopes when hearing how well they accommodated us to get us a site with electric due to a health issue. Within 10 minutes of arriving( and after a 10+ hour drive) we were rudely yelled at and told we were being too loud and that quite time was at 9- with it being 915 we respectfully set up and went right to bed. The day the camp office told us quite time was 10pm not 9pm as the staff had quoted the night before. So every night after that we all were in our campsites in our tents asleep by 10 pm and made sure we were quite even before quite time to be respectful. With that we were met with more disrespect the next day when they interrupted a special family gathering to ask if we were “ guests”.The staff was completely rude the entire time we were there. We were happy with just leaving and finding a new spot to camp until we got a horrible phone call accusing us of the most absurd and disgusting thing, that as respectful campers would NEVER do. With no proof- and also no mess even on our site they called yelling at us saying we were banned. I hope readers take this as a warning and book elsewhere. We came on this trip for a surprise engagement and an anniversary of our fathers death and it is sad that this is how we have to remember the end of our trip. I cannot believe the response on here from the owners, what a terrible way to run your business. And if any charges for anything that we did not do shows up on any bank statements we will all take the proper actions and contact the BBB. God bless

I 1st found the Mount Desert campground when I was 15 years old bicycling up here with a friend of mine to visit her family. I keep coming back her over 50 years and the breathtaking views and friendly people have never disappointed me.nnI call it glam ping as there are flush toilets hot showers platforms to pitch our Tents on and gorgeous views of the solmes sound. The craighead family that run this campground are conscientious hardworking and a delight to spend time with.nnExcellent job of helping everybody to feel safe during this the endemic with social distancing and testing anyone from outside of Maine or New Hampshire to make sure that all were COVID -19 negative.nnI look forward to when we gather again next year!

Best place we've found to go camping while have many other thing to do in a short drive. We can't wait until we have the time to go back and stay agaon

I almost don't want to write a review because I don't want to give away the specialness of this place! It's an amazing campground even during normal life but I was incredibly grateful to them for all the care they took for staff and visitor safety in terms of Covid. Limited capacity, well ventilated bathrooms with limited #s, masks, required tests for travelers from some states), and great signage/communication throughout the entire process even before arrival. Given so much of people's incomes up in the Bar Harbor area is dependent on seasonal visitors, their commitment to all our health was amazing. Huge thumbs up!

We've stayed here a few times when vacationing in Maine - we go to hike in the State Park as well as enjoy downtown Bar Harbor. We tent camp and have always had a great experience. Bathrooms are always clean, sites are spacious, and we love going down to the floating docks to swim, go crabbing, or take a nice kayak paddle. Very family friendly and great location for all nearby attractions.
