Very efficient check in process. Very welcoming staff showed us to our site and then checked back a little later to see if all was well (Thank you Garrett!). Site was clean and our waterfront view was spectacular! Very nice campground with great people all around.

Great atmosphere, and beautiful views

Very clean camp ground. Personel friendly. We stayed in cabin 809. The cabin was clean and conveniently located. The only drawbacks are that the bed was noisy creaked when sitting or sleeping. Also, grab bars in the bathroom would help getting in and out would add a safety measure. But we had a good time. Thanks.

Really great customer service and activities. Grounds were well-kept, laundry area clean. We honestly weren't around too much as we were exploring the park, but every interaction and experience here was top-notch.

I’ve been coming here since it was Barcadia, and while I don’t like a lot of the “corporate” changes since the new ownership, it will always be the campground that I knew and loved as a child. I wish you could book out more than 11 months ahead, you used to be able to do a year at least.

It was perfect staying in the cabins. They were a little more close then we would have liked but over all it was nice.

Been coming for 8 years! Have loved your KOA for years. Have reserved for 2024, but a couple of things concern me. The price is starting to get out of reach for what is offered. You need to think about adding a pool. I am not a fan of coed bathrooms. No need for it, and ridiculous. Speaking of bathrooms...there were issues of cleanliness this visit. I've stayed at numerous KOAs, and restrooms w

We not only liked our site but everyone connected to the KOA were very helpful.

My family and I absolutely love this campground. Everything is so well run and you cannot beat the location!

Our favorite campground! Just wish the Lobster Cafe wasn’t closed on Tues. & Wed. We’ve been coming here for years & this is the first time it’s ever been closed all day any day…Lots of time we just want ice cream, but notice that kids want to rent the peddle bikes…Staff is all wonderful, especially Jane!

Overall I love this place and have come back a couple times. However, I was disappointed in our site this time. I prepaid for an oceanview deluxe campsite. However, we were not truly oceanside, but had a view of a swampy marshland. Not nearly as pretty and more full of mosquitoes than an oceanside site would have been. Staff are great! Very fun for kids.

We only stayed for one night didn’t get in til 7 as our whale watch was canceled in the am and had to go in the afternoon instead over all super cute the camper didn’t smell the best but for one night and the camp infront of us barked the whole time we had a fire so we put it out and went to bed. Maybe we will try again at some point

Excellent customer service!! The tent site we had was absolutely beautiful and right on the bay. The bathhouse was one of the cleanest I have seen in a KOA. We will definitely be back whenever we are back in Maine.

Our campsite was nicely mowed and was on the ocean. Beautiful view! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Love the fact that they pick up garbage daily. It’s quite pricey, though, and to have your camper pumped out is high, also. Was very disappointed that ONLY ONE washing machine worked in their laundromat… shouldn’t get to that point. Nicely maintained campground throughout!

The staff were amazing and very accommodating. The campground was very clean The only negative would be that the laundry facilities were not in working order. Overall stay was extremely nice

Wonderful campground with great staff.

The extra bathroom by the wagon corral (that is not there) on the map needs to be taken off. Distance to bathrooms is something that is a huge consideration when booking with my little ones. The kabin area could use a little more mulch during big rains but other than that, we had a great time! Loved having a food option on site and the kids loved the activities!

Great stay! Friendly staff, our cabin was clean and tidy. Would come again in a heartbeat

Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpful. Park was very clean and store had a wide variety of items. Bus pickup conveniently located at front office and taxi/2 ubers available. Water front sites had beautiful views and a fair amount of space with nice firepits. Cons: multiple washers out of order, mosquitos were bad, and wifi was weak. Some scheduled events did not happen as posted. Overall great

Loved the Lobster cafe! The food was very good! The lobster was the best we had anywhere in the Bar Harbor area! The sunsets were beautiful. The campground was quiet and clean, the staff was super friendly, helpful and attentive. We will stay here again!

Good: location, scenery, staff were great. Bad: cabin stunk like filthy wet dog. Huge negative for me. Why am I paying full price for a cabin that smells dirty wet dog? Staff advised they’ve had many complaints. Never would stay at a KOA cabin again that allows pets.

The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. They were wonderful. Nice cabins. The activities for kids were great too. Our son absolutely loved the train!

Friendliest staff, that are overly communicative! I knew what was going on in the campground 24/7. We even had an alert that some theft had happened and to secure items. Very clean/well kept grounds. The bus stops at the campground to bring you into bar harbor and into the NP. The dog was even allowed on the bus! Pick up a schedule from the front desk!

Beautiful campground with great service! Very close to both downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. Will definitely stay again if we are ever in the area!

great place, people and views

Had a great water front site with lots of tree cover. Enjoyed the sunset very much. Also enjoyed the on-site food in particular the lobsters. One recommendation, the prizes for bingo included alcoholic beverage mix. I would recommend not giving alcohol related prizes, there are younger people participating and not everyone drinks.

Very nice place to stay. So much to do on the campground. Other activities are close by. The staff are great.
Jul 15, 2023
Staff was very good. Excellent location, with great harbor views. Only two concerns that I have is that it is very pricey and at those rates some of the sites could be better leveled.

Do not tent camp at this KOA. Bathrooms are not close to tent site. There is standing water that causes mosquitoes to be in very high concentrations near the tent site we were in. The site also had churned mud making it difficult to set up camp. Please note that sites are waterview, not waterfront. You must be in an RV for water frontage. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained.

Best campground we’ve ever been to! Beautiful views, wonderful staff and lots for the kids to do. Booked again next year!

The deluxe cabin was excellent! Clean, comfortable, and great amenities. It exceeded my expectations. The campground itself was well-run and had great activities for kids and families.

We loved everything about our stay! Large spots, great food/snacks at the food shack, delicious lobster rolls!, safe for the kids to ride their scooters around, clean playground area, and plenty of activities for the kids to enjoy. And very friendly and helpful staff and the store delivery service is the best! We spend almost a week here and would definitely go back.

We’ve been coming for years, but this year was tough. It’s getting too expensive to stay here and it felt kind of empty (maybe people are priced out?). It has so much potential and is a special place. It would be great to see it more “alive” again. Staff were mostly new and we missed former favorites.

Despite the rain, KOA personnel were very helpful and accomodating! We enjoyed Bar Harbor and the surrounding areas, and seeing "our" camping friends!
Jul 12, 2023
Excellent location! Clean sites. Friendly and attentive staff. The unisex bathhouse is great for families with children. The text messages of activities and last calls for wood and ice were helpful.

This place was awesome! The staff were really wonderful & I love that we could just text the front desk & get ice, fire wood, etc delivered right to our tent! Loved the live music & beer tasting feature one of the nights we were there as well, what a fun touch. Tent sites are cozy & close to the water. Would definitely stay here again!

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

Holy-ever-lovin-shirtballs this is the best KOA we've EVER stayed in!!! I mean, you'll hate it, don't go here - leave room for us to come back. Kidding aside - Nicest people ever. Beautiful camp spots. We'll stocked store. Incredible location. Loved every single second of every single day. Thank you all so much! We hope to return soon.
