Campground Reviews

Something has to be done to improve water pressure for the showers. When many are showering there is absolutely no water in our cabin , not even enough to flush the toilet. We pay $315 a night and at that price hot water and decent pressure is expected . Beautiful views and family keep us going back .

Bottom line is that we pay way too much for way too little. Cabins are dated, the water system is overtaxed and we rarely had hot water.

My family and I enjoyed our stay very much . There was plenty of kids activities that kept them engaged.

Staff was friendly, lots of things for kids to do, all including crafts, games, a bounce pillow, riding carts, bingo, tie dying. Sunset view is spectacular, and Sunday morning pancakes were delicious. Only complaint is that we arrived at 11:00 a.m., and they told us we weren't allowed in until because of cleaning. When we finally got in at 4:00 p.m. the floor was dirty.

They sent a text that the store was about to close and asked if we needed anything - firewood, ice, etc. We were out of the are and they delivered firewood to our cabin. Our cabin wasn't cleaned out when we got there. The previous people's garbage and even KOA map with their name on it was still there.

We didn’t have kids with us this time so we didn’t get to experience all they offer but it was very crowded, meaning campsites seemed to be on top of each other. I would think for the price they charge ($175 per night) the sites wouldn’t be dirt and gravel, but they were. The dust at times was tough to take. The location was good since it was close to all of the things you want to experience

Bathroom not always clean and no activity for young adults nor music of any entertainment! Food and firewood way to high when you can buy across the street for $5.00! The view was nice though. I think overall the camp site is priced to expensive! I felt bad that my children didn’t have anything to do while staying here.

Our stay at the Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA was incredible! From the delivery of ice and wood, the kid activities, the Lobster Trap Cafe, the train rides around the park, it was nothing short of spectacular! Waking up to the smells, sounds, and views of the ocean was breathtaking. We would highly recommend!

We had a great site. Totally worth paying more for the ocean view site.

Great site and amenities. The bus to Acadia was very convenient.

We had a beautiful site, however, there were sites in the campground that were much less appealing. I guess it depends on the pricing level you choose. We have camped at many KOAs and this one has some amenities that I've not seen at other KOAs such as a Honey Wagon service that will come to your rig and pump out your sewer system. Staff and service was great.

Great location, great shuttle bus to Acadia and town. HORRIBLE WiFi Patio sites were shoddy, some sites were nice, but others were tucked in in a weird orientation. Grounds could be better manicured considering the money coming into this place. Great snack bar, laundry and dog park.Loved to ocean view positioned Adirondack chairs. No swim pool,or decent beach access . Kid park dangerous,no fence

What a great experience here at the KOA Bar Harbor/Oceanside. Our cabin was clean and well taken care of, the bath house was always kept clean, and the view WOW is just a beautiful site to see. Someday we will be back to visit this amazing distention.

Gorgeous campground, we had one of the best sites near the ocean. I totally understand you should expect dogs at campgrounds but there were people walking them THROUGH campsites, which is totally not cool/not proper campground etiquette. One woman walked her dog through someone's site who had their own dog and gave THEM dirty looks when THEIR dog started going nuts. I'm coming back in off season!

Bathrooms were not clean as normal. Paper towels never worked The grounds were not maintained very well These are the things that always impressed us before.
Jul 26, 2025
Everyone was friendly, the cabin was clean, the location was close to Acadia. We would recommend this location and would enjoy staying here again! Thanks for a great visit!

Deluxe studio cabin was just right for our fam of 4 (two adults two kids under 10) and we also enjoyed the screened-in porch to have some additional room to spread out and relax. Campfire area was perfect setup for our extended family to join us at the fire and roast mallows. Staff were super friendly - even stopped by our site & adjusted our kiddo's bike seat for him as we didn't have tools! A+

Very pleasant stay at Oceanside KOA in Bar Harbor area. Close to all the things we wanted to see and do. Offers amazing views. Clean campground, soft green grass for the dogs. Lobster truck onsite was a bonus. Received a chewy package with ease, the office called and left me a message. All in alll the best place to stay if you want to visit this area. Free public transportation stops here.

Checkin went smoothly. We found several issues with our cabin as well as the cost we paid. We stayed for 5 days with another family who stayed in a deluxe cabin like ours for the same amount of time. They paid significantly less and had a full sized refrigerator, a stove and other accommodations that our cabin did not have. We found it hard to believe we paid more and yet received less features.

Beautiful spot in the "cozy oceanfront" site #308. KOA has a fabulous property there along the coast. Great views and activities for kids and adults alike. Just wish everything wasn't so expensive...I've had oceanfront sites before in the last 25 years and here I paid more than double the cost of my previous most expensive site. This area is for those with deep pockets who don't care about price.

Very friendly staff and our site right on the water was outstanding! Great location too. However, the shower/bathroom situation needs improving. Our biggest complaint is that we waited in line every night to shower. There were only three showers on our side of the campground, which was shared by numerous RV sites and tent campers. The tent area needs its own showers. WiFi was nonexistent.

We had an awesome 11 day stay at the KOA. The waterfront location is spectacular. The staff was very helpful, the daily communication was great. Plenty of activities for the kids. Te on site lobster shack is a nice touch. I’d rate this location a 5 star except the wi-fi is spotty, our site was difficult to level and had a little too much dirt for our liking, overall we had. We’ll be back.

This is a great and quiet campsite. We stayed on the water. Views were great and it was super easy to hop down to Acadia.

It was great to be close to Acadia NP!

We stayed two nights in a camping cabin while visiting Acadia National Park. The cabin suited our needs perfectly. We appreciated the mini fridge and the coffee pot that takes kcups. The mattress was a little thin for us. We did end up putting the twin mattresses underneath to make it more comfortable! We also recommend putting signage on the gravel road leading to the cabin parking. Thanks!

We were very impressed by all the amenities that the deluxe cabin came with. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed their stay. Thank you for quickly helping my other group with their cold water and lack of a porch door. That quick attention really makes an impression. Having things like a lobster bake offered is a huge plus. We will certainly be back.

We had horrible customer service by the three women at the desk on 7/20/25. Large branch broke off over our tent (that happens, I understand) and the women at the desk laughed at us, called it the widow maker, belittled us and refused to even move our firewood. There were cabins available and they refused bc of the 2 night req.Incredibly rude, you lost a loyal customer.Manager did help eventually.

Location is amazing, right on the waterfront, close to Acadia National Park. I was disappointed in the layout of the sites, very close together and at odd angles. Picnic table/firepit placement made it very difficult to get into my site correctly even with very small trailer. I had to move my tow vehicle (which was inches from my trailer) for another trailer to be able to park.

We had so much fun in Acadia and our cabin was outfitted perfectly for our needs. Loved having the mini fridge and coffee maker, electricity to charge our devices and cozy enough beds to sleep in to be in prepared for the next day of adventures. The staff were kind and helpful. Lovely beaches at the campsite too!
Jul 23, 2025
Everything was perfect! The campground had everything we needed, great location in relation to Acadia and downtown, all the facilities were clean, and the staff was beyond friendly! I’ve already recommended this KOA to multiple people, before even leaving to head home from our trip, and I can’t wait to return again in the future!

We liked our cabin, but for some reason it smelled like a barnyard. I went and got a candle and air freshener. It helped some. Our clothes even picked up the smell. Otherwise everything was great.

I had a great time! The cabin, bathrooms, and bath houses were very clean. This KOA is in a great location and very close to Acadia National Park. I would definitely stay again.

A wonderful, helpful staff. The grounds were well maintained. Nice water views from many spaces, but many spaces lacked any shade. The men's room near the laundry needed some maintenance and repair.
