Campground Reviews

Great campground near Bar Harbor. We had a waterview site and throughly enjoyed it. Lots of activities for kids so it can get busy yet it’s easy to find a beach area and relax on the water.

My daughter and son-in-law have camped at this site for a few years now. We had the pleasure of joining them this time for what turned out to be a wonderful visit to the beautiful state of Maine! My wife and I traveled from NJ renting a deluxe cabin at the Oceanside site. The cabin was amazing, KOA staff phenomenal! These folks truly make your stay a special experience!

My son loved the banana bike rentals and the places activities. The staff at the Lobster Trap was very kind and personable.

Great spot

Very nice campground, but needs some work on the sites such as grave.

Good location, friendly staff. However, our tent site was located directly behind registration and was pretty terrible. It 200 ft away from a main road, which was noisy throughout the night, taking away from the camping experience. It was also a shared site with 2 sites placed on an open field with little to no privacy from any side. These site details were not communicated at booking

Amazing stay at KOA oceanside in Bar Harbor! Can’t believe the incredible customer service by the staff by simply sending a text and the location & views are everything. We stayed in the airstream and had all the essentials we needed. We will be back!

We spent three nights in an airstream and while the location we were in was lovely (we were near cabins), bed was comfy, and park staff was attentive, we only had hot water one day. It was nice to be on MDI…just expected more for the price we paid. First time at a KOA and first time in a RV. Decided both are just not for us. Live and learn.

I didn’t know I needed a reservation to see the sunrise on Cadillac mountain. I went to the store wondering where else I could go because we really wanted to see it. A very kind employee gave me a business card for a woman who drives a shuttle bus up there. Also, there was a very helpful man who rode in the cart. Sometimes he had his dogs with him. He helped me with the buses and more.

Wonderful! We will stay here again for sure! Camp ground was perfect! Great staff, great location. The river view was spectacular. Enjoyed watching sunset every evening while there. We have a pull thru site with patio. This was definitely a better location than the sites in middle on grass. Some of them didn’t have sewer and it was pretty packed. Sites on water best!

This was supposed to be a pull thru site. We barely could pull thru. We were second from the end and had to make several maneuvers. Behind our site was the activity center, showers and bathrooms making it very noisy in the mornings. Kids were racing around in carts and not paying attention and I nearly collided with one. They couldn’t have stopped if a child stepped out.

Your rates are pricing people out we need to look else where

We had a site with a water view. It was easy to access, amply sized, with electric and water. The camp was spotlessly maintained, the staff friendly and anxious to enhance our experience. Texts with firewood availability, special entertainment and food made the stay friendly and fun.

It was disappointing when I could not drive the car to our cabin to unload our belongings. We had to use carts.. My husband has bad legs and balance. The bathroom was quite a walk for him as well. Next time I will ask for a cabin with a bathroom. Thanks again, your staff was great.

Very friendly personable employees and management!

Enjoyed our stay very much! Positives - Friendly Staff, Trash p/u services, Views and clean surroundings, Bathrooms clean and easily accessible, Entertainment was great and the text messaging service is a great idea!! Opportunities - Pets - Barling (early) - need to better oversee this or enforce? Challenge, I know. Internet - Could connect but no, or very limited service. Wood (purchased) was wet

We loved the campground and the cabin! We will definitely be back. We explored the area as well. We spent time on the beach, the kids rented tricycles, we did ceramics and made whoopie pies. The location was great for the things we wanted to do off the campground.

We stayed for 2 nights and we wish we could’ve stayed longer. The staff is friendly and we loved that there was always an activity available for the guests and children. We highly recommend this place and we’re definitely coming back.

We had a cabin stay and while we enjoyed our time there, there were a few things that would keep me from staying here again. Bathrooms: Semi-clean but foul odor. Showers - only three and very hard to get into. Facilities too far away. To pay for a cabin and have to walk at least 2/10 of a mile to get there seemed a bit much. Not much for activities for teens and adults.

One of the most picturesque campgrounds we have ever stayed in - surrounded by Ocean. People were extremely nice. The diner cooking lobster was a huge plus. Our site was very very small - we could not even t-bone our truck and had to park in an unused area. "Unisex" bathroom should have outside access for stalls - made me uncomfortable. Poor signage should have road names.

We loved our studio camping cabin! It had everything we needed, and great proximity to the water and campground happenings. This is my favorite place to stay in Bar Harbor!
Aug 01, 2023
Great communication with guests re activities… loved the text messaging Our lot was shockingly dislevel and lots were SO CLOSE together!
Aug 01, 2023
We were so pleased with Cabin 801. The waterfront site was so nice. Anytime we came in contact with a staff member, there was always a smile and they were so friendly and knowledgeable. Only drawback was the sewerage odor which seemed to be often. We would not hesitate to stay again in the future as the campground is beautiful and well maintained.

My biggest concern is that our site, 272, becomes more public access each year because there are no clear markers between us vs. public beach. Each year we’ve watch people traipse through our site to and from the beach. This year alone a kid climbed/stood on the table, many passed between us and the fire we had, 1 was directed from the beach to pee at the back of the site. Better marks would he

WiFi was absolutely pitiful. In and out constantly throughout our 2 week stay. Called the office and never got a reply back after they contacted the 3rd party managing the WiFi. Campground is a beautiful spot, which is why we keep returning, however it is very expensive, driving the need to stay on your A game. Bathroom cleanliness is also degrading.

Terrain assez large pour placer un abri moustiquaire à côté du VR. Salles de toilettes et douches régulièrement nettoyées. Personnel à l'accueil attentionné.

Best staff at any KOA I’ve ever stayed in

Very friendly staff, great location being at the top of island to launch into adventures

This is the best KOA we’ve stayed at in Maine. It’s very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We love it here and we plan on coming back yearly.

Wonderful staff, beautiful campsite. Had good Wi-Fi at campsite so we could research activity plans in the area.This was very helpful in order to get the most from our stay. Would definitely stay there again.

Parfait séjour. Les plus: service courtois, service de livraison de glace et de bois, vu sur l’océan magnifique. Les moins: l’arrivée très tardive de notre voisin(passé 22h.), propreté des toilettes en baisse(sale, manque de papier) Difficultés de réserver des sites de choix même un an d’avance. Au final ce fut un agréable séjour!

The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful! The first day, I texted the office to order firewood and ice (great idea, I wish more campgrounds did that), and I could not believe it was delivered in about 10 minutes. I was thinking a couple of hours. And that happened all week. When we had a campsite water pump alarm go off outside our site and texted, Jane was there in minutes.

Love the location and the site. We stayed in a camping cabin, which was perfect. I'd love to give a better rating but the bathrooms need some attention, the cafe not open Tuesday and Wednesday is a bummer and there weren't any activities on those days either. The location is amazing though, so we'd love to come back if the bathrooms were addressed (water leaking from toilets left it gross &smelly)

A beautiful place, friendly and directly on sea.

Advertised a water front site. Did not get a waterfront site. Very small site surrounded by people. Not relaxing. Way to many children.

KOA Bar Harbor Oceanside earns their 5 stars! The staff are courteous and friendly. The sites are all roomy. Ours was at the oceans edge and was beautiful! Many water side RV sites plus tent sites and nice cozy cabins. I highly recommend this KOA!

Beautiful site right on the water. It was fun watching the tide come in and go out.
