Bar Harbor Hotel Tips by diver-x

Mount Desert Campground: Clean and quiet family camping

Mount Desert Campground is on the water on Sommes Sound. They have a boat ramp, dock and kayak and canoe rentals. The campground is convenient to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, and a bus stops at the front office.

Unique Qualities: The bathrooms and showers are very clean. Hot showers cost 50 cents for 5 minutes. There are many camp sites on the water, but there is generally a waiting list for them and a minimum one week stay is required. For stays less than one week, you can have a wooded site. I'm rating this campground more expensive than average, because at $35 per night, that's the most I've ever spent to camp.

Address: Route 198 Somesville, Mt. Desert, ME 04660

Comparison: more expensive than average
