Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse
Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park

We finally went camping on Mount Desert Island in Maine in Sept of 2002. What a beautiful place! With Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and the beautiful Maine seacoast, there is too much to do in one weekend!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Outdoor activities, seacoast, wildlife, Acadia National Park
  • Cons:Lots of tourists
  • In a nutshell:Rugged outdoors, quiet villages and beautiful sunsets!
