Bar Harbor Campground - Maine

Closest campground to the town of Bar Harbor. Wooded sites as well as ocean view sites are available. Advance reservations are not accepted. When you arrive, you must drive around and choose your site. As people leave in the early mornings, there is a rush to scoop up primo sites by current campers by placing markers (ex. a chair).
We got a site with an ocean view and were able to hook up the satellite without a problem. Site was spacious and level.
Hikers beware - just because you can see the ocean does not mean you can get there from here. There's a cliff with a 40' drop to a road before you can get to the water. We never made it.
Although there are ample washers and dryers in the laundry room, doing laundry in August is cut-throat!! Ladies sneered at us because we were occupying half of the machines with all of our laundry at 8 a.m. Hey, you snooze, you lose.
Overall, it is a great launching point to explore all of Mount Desert Island.
