Campground Reviews

Jul 07, 2025
I booked a deluxe cabin with 2 queen beds and 1.5 baths. I got a 1 bedroom 1 bath cabin. When questioned I was told there was a disclaimer saying the cabin may not look exactly what I booked. It was false advertising no matter how you sum it up. Then I was told that campground does not have any 2 bed, 1.5 bath cabins. Really dishonest. I would not stay there again and would not recommend it.

The cabin was not what we expected from photos or descriptions. I don't think you should show cabin photos that are not on site. I would have rented a larger cabin if I knew the deluxe was what it actually was. You described a full kitchen, we had a dorm fridge and microwave. During my check-in three other people were angry about the same thing. Seems very dishonest of your company. Won't be back

Great, poor Wi-Fi was the only we were not happy with.

Most campgrounds I've stayed at have a rule, when it's dark the bikes go up. They were out racing, no head light, almost got taken out a couple times walking. And a head on with a car because they didnt look. Otherwise everything was perfect, will definitely be back. Thank you!

Great site right on the ocean! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Next time we head this way we will definitely book again!

The stay was great. Area for improvement: the septic bump on my site was too high. It was higher than my tank exit therefore my tanks would not drain

Staff was great and friendly. Bathrooms clean and well maintained. However, campsite was too small for our size trailer. It was difficult to get the trailer on the site properly. Also had to roll over rock obstacles at roads edge when leaving. If you can pick a site near waters edge, I would recommend. If you get an interior sure, not great.

We had a fantastic time. There were a couple of minor maintenance but, but they were dealt with almost immediately when they were reported. The staff was very on top of things and incredibly responsive to any requests or needs. The facilities were fantastic, and we will definitely be back. The style of cabin with the little bunk room was a fantastic fit for our family of five!

Very disappointing stay. Tent site description on the website is not accurate for the site we received. I actually upgraded to a camping cabin because of this when in reality I should have been offered some sort of refund for false advertising. Sites are too close together. The camp store was not stocked well. Overall experience was poor. Won’t return and won’t recommend.

Always a pleasure staying at the Bar Harbor KOA! We stay here every time we get on the ferry in Bar Harbor to go to our vacation home in Nova Scotia. We feel welcome with our 5 dogs and there is a large fenced in dog park, lots of beautiful land and oceanfront beach to walk on and even a nice little cafe on the property. We’ll be back again and again!

We stayed in a deluxe Oceanside cabin. We did have some water pressure and a plumbing issue, however everything else was great! The facilities were clean and all the staff were super pleasant and accommodating! We will definitely be back when we come back to MDI.

The tent sites are too close from each others. Only 3 showers for too many people. Only 1 sink to do your dishes. Toilet paper way too thin, you just pray not to get diarrhea. Clearly overpriced!

We enjoyed our stay very much-the staff were all very courteous, the grounds were clean and well-kept and the views to the ocean were lovely. We enjoyed the Lobster Trap Cafe and wish we’d checked it out earlier in our stay. The lobster roll there was better than the ones I enjoyed at Abel’s or Thurston’s!

The employees are very nice- the food was great but overall an average campground- super tight sites- if your site isn’t next to the water it’s not worth the stay.

This campground rocked! We had a waterfront spot , it was wonderful. I usually boondock and have not been to a KOA in 20+ years. This KOA is a 100% definite recommend. Go for the waterfront. You won’t be sorry

Very good stay , warm welcome by the Koa Team, great installation. Only Little negative point is the quality of the camp fire wood which was not dry enough making fire more difficult

It was our 3rd year and we will be back! The staff were super friendly and very responsive. Quickly took care of our requests such as a leaky heating/cooling unit and firewood. The floors of our cabin weren’t the cleanest and the WiFi was really not useable. However, the cabin was VERY comfortable for us and the family. Such a nice stay!

We had a pleasant stay. For the amount we paid, we would have liked to have the grass mowed. Plus we were on a water site and people thought they could just walk through our site.

Love the lobster cafe. Customer service was wonderful. Staff was polite and accommodating.

The amenities were outstanding. The Lobstah Trap Cafe was a plus. Friendly staff.

The mattress on the sleeper sofa was completely unacceptable. It squished flat and was full of coils. There was no way our adult daughter could sleep on this. We borrowed a bunk bed mattress from my sister's cabin.

We enjoyed our visit, thank you

A repeat visit for us at this beautiful oceanfront location, with many waterfront sites. Clean sites and bathrooms, and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Love it here. One of our favorite campgrounds in the country.

This is the second time we have stayed at BH / Oceanside KOA in a ocean side site. They sites don't disappoint. We love the proximity to the park hikes. How can you beat the ice cream at the cafe after a long day hiking??? Staff is super friendly and always willing to help answers questions. We requested firewood after getting off the shuttle... it was ask the site BEFORE we got to our site.

A pool would make it perfect. Move playground away from campsites, esp the expensive patio ones! Too loud!

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.
