great camping cabin, clean bath and showers, gorgeous sunsets. Lobster Cafe was exceptional. We will be back.

We were not happy about the way your system picks a spot and you are not allowed to change it even when other spots are open. We loved the fact that you had meal options all during the daytime available to purchase. The laundry mat is way over priced. $7 a load is way to high. Most KOAs are around $4 to $5 a load. And very upset this campground does not have a heated pool at the price per night

The stay was very good. But the bathrooms need a lot of work. Toilet where not working right.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Love the enhanced activities. More shade over by corn hole would be great. The speed limit is not enforced and given how busy the road is it seems like it should be. Also extending store hours would be great. We LOVE this campground- can't beat the location!! Redemption is great but expanding to recyclables would be even better!

For a Holiday KOA, I found it somewhat below standard. I found the site pricy for what you get for a tent sites. Very rough terrain and difficult to park. The shower facility was in disrepair repair. The location and text service was excellent, but I have stayed in far superior holiday KOAs for a lot less. The location and convenience next to the park, drives the price not the campground itself.

We had a good time at KOA but there could be many improvements. Our beds were so uncomfortable anytime someone moved the entire cottage shrieked. The mattresses are terrible, old and warped. There is not even a kettle to make tea/coffee and it's 6.50 USD to get a coffee on the grounds! There is no feeling of community that we have experiences elsewhere.

Stay was great. The kids had a blast with the activities. Fire/ice delivery was great as the store was on the opposite side of the campground from us. Checkin was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. I was disappointed with the size of the site that we got. Seemed as though it was the smallest of the ones in our area and we struggled with two tents and two cars (but we made it work!!).

Uneven, small site. The area to park the trailer should have been moved closer to the utilities. Very little room on the picnic table side.

Best KOA yet. Staff very responsive to our needs. Site and the view wonderful. Family with us loved the KOA camping cabin. Definitely going back to a KOA again!

Our truck and 5th wheel were too small to fit in the site 212 in a very cramped park with everyone’s tow vehicles parked outside their rigs. We had to back in to a pull through site. However, the view was spectacular from the third row back from the ocean! The staff was amazing and the activities for the children were spot on!!

Lovely campground right on the water. They have little beach areas with a few chairs for enjoyment. Wish they had more full hook up sites.

As we are full time we didn't use the facility other than the laundry and it was clean with 7 machines each. We had a spectacular site overlooking the water and the staff was very friendly. It was convenient for our daily adventures. If ever in the area again we would stay here again.

Great location for visiting Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Staff very friendly Shuttle bus to town and visitor center pick is right at the campground so no need to drive anywhere.

It was a wonderful stay. We enjoyed everything about the camp. SUNSETS ARE INCREDITABLE!!!

What a great campground, especially the location. I absolutely LOVED the tide-pools. Getting to and from Bar Harbor was so simple. Site #355 was amazing with the HUGE shade tree over us the entire stay; about 10-15 degrees cooler than in the sun. Thanks for a great first trip to Bar Harbor; would love to bring the grandkids here in the future.

This campground was owned by my father years ago. We took the grandkids up to show them the state that their great-grandfather loved. We had a wonderful time. The additions that the KOA made are wonderful for the kids. Highly nrecommend.

This was our third year at bar harbor Oceanside Ave we love it. The staff is friendly and helpful the cabins are great and you can’t beat the view from 802. The campground is clean and well maintained. Looking forward to next year

Stayed here for a few days. Had a pull in site with full hookups. The best part about the site was you can view the bay from the site, or walk to it. would definitely stay here on my next trip to Maine.

Campers are so close together that you can see in to each others windows. Could be that’s is just the first time I’ve stayed at a park like this. The campgrounds I have stayed in have trees. This was more like an RV park.

Staff were amazing and the campground is beautiful!

Everything about the experience was a 5 - except the internet service which was spotty at best. Great site, beautiful campground, nice facilities, and friendly people. I would definitely come back.

Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA is a yearly trip for us. Facilities are always well maintained, the location is perfect for visiting Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor, and the staff has always gone above and beyond to make the experience comfortable, memorable, and fun.

Staff here does an amazing job, very attentive and friendly.

Great location and friendly staff

Holy cow, coming from Wisconsinites that is a real compliment. We loved our view of the ocean and seeing seals and sea stars when the tide receeded. The lobster food truck and lobster dinner was also a welcome experience. Can't wait to come back soon!!!!

Lobster shack and campsites are super cool. The view is incredible! The dog park was not cleaned up at all, poop everywhere and LOADS OF MOSQUITOES THERE. Also, the firewood that was given must have been wet because we could not get a fire started even with a fire starter, the starter would burn and then sizzle out! Other then those two things we enjoyed it!

We’ve lost count how many years we’ve been coming here - somewhere around 21-22 years on Site 362. We’ve seen LOTS of changes over the years and interacted with lots of KOA folks and think this year there was something extra special about the staff. They were fantastic - Helpful, friendly and calm under pressure. Thanks for a great stay, keep up the great work and we’ll see you next year!

Great location, friendly staff, fun activities and lots to see and do nearby!

The airstream was dirty. Mouse droppings, the smell of weed/smoke, cobwebs, etc. seeing droppings made the whole place feel dirty. We didn’t want to even sit on the couch. We had no hot water for a whole day, so we had to take cold showers. The only good thing was the location. When we told staff about the issues, they seemed like they couldn’t have cared any less. This was not worth $500.

Beautiful campground friendly knowledgeable staff

It was a lovely KOA, the people were friendly, there was no WiFi which meant no tv and when you have a toddler who could sometimes use a little distraction while adults are setting up or packing up, tv time is useful. So that was disappointing, other than that we enjoyed our stay very much.

We had another amazing stay. It feels super safe for our kids to bike around, the campground is quiet and full of very respectful guests. Site 255 is stunning, we have looked at other sites on the campground, but I think we have our favorite already. The staff were always very kind and helpful! Making us deliveries of things even including a shuttle bus schedule! We can’t wait for next year’s

Very convenient and close for visiting Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We go there every year with a very large group of friends. They all had the same feedback: the staff is very welcoming , very easy/simple to checkin. Wonderful and clean facilities. It is the best of the best, thanks to Michael the manager and his staff, they always make our stay magic, and very memorable. We love it, and we will be back soon !!

This campground is awesome! Acadia was incredible, Bar Harbor was amazing, and this place puts you right in the middle of all the action. You're just minutes from Acadia National Park and minutes from town, which makes it super convenient for exploring everything in the area. The service and people here are top notch—friendly, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. We had a great stay and will definitely be returning. I would 100% recommend this campground to anyone visiting Acadia or Bar Harbor
