Tent Reviews

I came for one night with my 11 yo son, as he was headed to a summer camp in Seal Harbor. KOA allowed us to break up what would have been a 10 hour round trip for me (mom) and enjoy some time together. My son LOVED everything about this KOA. From the beaches to explore, the fantastic food options (lattes and lobster and icecream!), helpful staff, great activities & play around. Def recommend!

We enjoyed staying at KOA Acadia. I think the two issues we had while there was that we paid extra to be on the ocean and we had an ocean view, but weren’t on the ocean. It wasn’t the site pictured that we paid extra for. Also, we went to a tie dye event and weren’t told it would cost money until after my daughter made a shirt. At that point it’s too late to return it. We wouldn’t have d

Campground is very clean and well kept. People working there are friendly and helpful. Location is very convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

We had a wonderful experience in spite of the weather! The front desk was super accomodating with a tent location change with more room, and everything was clean and easy to access.

It had everything we needed from food to fire to delivery services and laundry. It was a great experience with our ground of 27 people!

This was our 4th stay and it was great as usual, the camp was clean and spacious. The group site we had stayed before and both times, our fellow campers complained about the road noise. It would be great if you had another group site on the other side of the campground, perhaps it would be less road noise? We won't be staying at this group site again because of the noise factor. TY!

The biggest takeaway was that the restrooms and showers were always clean and in good condition. The tent location (424) I had was nice and away from crowds as well, with easy access to everything. My only complaint is the firewood that is sold at the site was overpriced and had too much moisture to burn. You're better off getting wood from an off site store. Otherwise, it was a great stay.

The most absolutely friendliest and helpful staff I have seen anywhere in years. Amazing views and amazing location to all POI. I am making KOA my yearly pilgramage to renew my soul.

The people at the front desk were nice at check in. The site was clean and showers were clean, although one shower did not seem to be able to get hot water. Easy distance to bar harbor and Acadia. Would stay here again.

AWESOME tent site! Felt like staying in the woods but so many handy dandy amenities-including running water and close bathrooms that were very clean. Wood and ice at the camp site was super convenient as well. 10/10 reccomend!

We are very easy campers and always follow rules yet I was told 4 times during checking that I had to be out at 11 as they are closing. I said no problem. I continued to be told over and over. I am not a moron. I was out at 4am hope that was good enough.

Lovely stay don’t know KOA had so many amenities to make for a comfortable stay. 10/10 would book again

I was very pleased with the proximity to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National park. The campground was clean and organized and I appreciated the amenities at my tent site (water and electric). I could see the sunset through some trees and only wish I had booked a site directly on the water.

This KOA was fuller than the others ones we stayed at on our trip. Not sure how to describe it, this one seemed more like a camp ground than a glamorized campground. It was nice to see, we weren't the only crazy tent campers in the middle of October. All the tent sites were full. The ladies in the store were so nice and helpful. Really made us feel welcome.

I was very impressed, the bathrooms and showers were very clean. I loved the location by the ocean.

Very clean and well attended to.

Very cozy and comfortable area with plenty of beautiful scenery. With more than acceptable tent sites on the water or in the wood. Very fun and happy camping we had for the Columbus holiday week.

We loved it! The perfect amount of activities for our kids

This is a beautiful and quiet site! We stayed for almost a week in October while we explored Acadia. This KOA has everything you need - clean bathrooms, individual showers, a place to get hot food, and amazing staff! The grounds were kept clean and we enjoyed being able to sit out and watch the sky at night. I highly recommend this site if you are camping!

Beautiful site with view of the ocean and sunset through the trees. Great warm showers and always clean toilets. Staff all really friendly and helpful. Absolutely loved our trip. The only thing I wasn't too keen on were the acorns hitting the tent and our car all night. Will definitely be back.

We have stayed here several times both tenting and in the cabins. This last stay we asked to move sites and we're accommodated. The staff is friendly and they have everything you could need. Beautiful ocean frontage and they cook lobster.

My boyfriend and I travelled from Ontario to tent camp here and the campsite was unreal. The staff were polite and helpful when navigating our site and getting firewood. We felt safe, and had a lovely time through the 4 days we were there.

Awesome view from our site; the site was large enough to put up a tent far from the firepit; toliet was clean and not too far; ALL workers seemed interested in making the experience in and out of the campground as great as possible; the tent site had a great grassy area (not gravel, not pavement); the on-site lobster roll truck was delicious, convenient, affordable, and informative; stop the spam

We booked a tent site that was perfect for camping with our tent and car. We could park on the tent site and we also had a nice partial water view! This was our second time visiting and we will be back to stay here again. It’s a great spot to stay and tour the national park.

Reservations were easy . Very accommodating! Very quiet. Little difficult to find should be more signs for anyone coming in after dark. Would return for sure.

Facilities were clean and the campers generally abided by the silent hours. Getting things from the camp store was made easy by the free delivery service offered. The only downsides were (1) the campsites were very close together with no real privacy, and (2) the website made it seem as though the sand campsites were on the waterfront but in face that was not the case.

The service was so friendly and crazy fast (I think they were just waiting for me to order wood or ice �) And the cleanliness was great. More amenities than I could use in a month. And the beauty of the area soothed my soul.

Check-in was smooth and we were greeted kindly. They explained how to text if we need items delivered to our site + all other amenities. Our tent site was clean & had a little stand to prep gear or fill your bottles. I will say though, the mosquitoes were a bit to contend with back in the low 400s tent loop in late summer, so bring your products of choice. It’s a stop on the island explorer too!

Packed like sardines and there is nothing about being oceanside. We paid $$$ just to have a parking spot with no water in view and not even full hook up. Mostly for extended stay folks.

Space is a little bit small. Ocean view was limited but satisfied

Bar Harbor KOA was such a beautiful place to stay on our visit to Maine. Great views, WONDERFUL staff, and a great experience all around. We will definitely be making this our go to campground when we visit in the future.

We did tent camping. Campsite was very clean when we got there and left it in the same condition. Beautiful spot right by the water. Bathrooms and showers were also very clean every time we went to use. All the little fun extras made for some extra fun. Second night we stayed the skies were super clear and could see the stars. Coffee was a little pricey.

Incredible campground for a family stay and delicious food!!

Five stars! Great service, great staff, great location!! We stayed in a ocean view (premium site) for our stay to say location, location, location WOW what a view sunrises and sunsets every day! Quiet location! Clean restrooms and showers and less than 20 min away from Acadia! Worth every penny we will be back!

We loved LOVED loved this campground. The staff was friendly,informative and made you feel like lifelong friends in conversation. The views all around were stunning. We loved the rock fire puts but not all sites had them. Ours didn't and that made us all very sad as they are super cool. The kids had fun hunting for crabs in the shallow waters and I really enjoyed looked for little shells. The bathrooms were nice and clean. More clean in the morning than evening, obviously. And the water was HOT. I liked the individual showers. My son could go with me and I didn't have to send hi. With his brother. He is still not at the size I want to send him in a male restroom alone to shower. So, that was nice, we could get showers next to each other and I didn't have to worry. This place is located close to acadia national park and bar harbor. We were all over both lol The campground has its own little restaurant which is also a nice perk. We would definitely stay here again and for longer next time.

The view alone is worth 5 stars! ⭐️ We are sad we were only here two days! The location was breath taking! The little stand next to the water with the electric was a life saver as it had a roof on it to help protect devices as they charge. We were right on the water and it was magical
