Campground Reviews

When a cabin is clean and ready you should let people in. Hotels do this all the time. It would add to good will. You need to redo the children’s play area .it’s so dirty and old.

The staff is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The sites are close together, which is the only downside for us. It was easy to get to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

Bill and Sandy were such wonderful hosts. We felt welcome by all the staff and the facilities were clean! We will definitely be back!

Very nice location, friendly staff. The only thing that I think could be improved upon is the dump station where it can get backed up with people lining up for the one that has the regular hose.

We enjoyed our stay at the campground the only drawback was the smoke from all the fires and the mosquitoes. The staff was great! We are returning in a month we love the state of Maine! Chris

Price a little high. Great customer service from the team. Did NOT feel safe with mixed showers.

Made our reservation 6 months in advance! They put us in a TINY site (for a 35ft 5th wheel). Told them-they didn't CARE. Told us to back in-our front door was on the WRONG side! (not ocean front). So we PULLED in-couldn't get our truck out, so we were STUCK. They put another giant 5th wheel next to us, and we could barely get out. VERY STRESSFULL. Also gross red, buggy mud around our campsite. :(

We appreciate your input. Everyone has a different idea of an ideal site and although 373 is in the top 10 sites requested here, it is not the site for you. The red debris is seaweed & other oceanic materials that the seals and fish feed on. We are sorry that it offended you.

Nice pull through site with a nice patio, table set and gas grill. Right near the water and close drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

Freezing shower the first night was rough after a long day of Hiking ������

Love the text messages informing us of the days events at the campground and love the fact I can charge things (like the tie-dyed shirts) to my site. The only negative aspect I had, and nothing at all to do with the campground or staff, was lack of parental control over some of the children and people allowing their dogs to bark excessively. But again, nothing to do with you guys. Loved the place.

Excellent amenities ie shuttle to downtown and visitors center as well as cafe on site to get lobster

My SEVEN families, have been going to BH KOA for 30 years, this year there was confusion about how many nights my daughter booked her site for (we thought it was 3 but it was only 2), when we noticed it was past 11 (check out time). We were off the site in 20min. They charged us a 20. late fee even though she moved to a premium site (more $$). They REFUSED to refund the $20. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE!

We had a good view, but paid a premium which is to be expected. Good facility except the majority of the laundry machines were broken using Covid as the excuse, of course. Otherwise a very nice park. No sewer hookups available near the water.
Jul 27, 2021
We really enjoyed our stay, the facilities were clean and accessible and the employees friendly. I was disappointed that we paid a premium based on location but were not on the water and the person in the site across from us chastised our children for walking up to the water. They did not go through their campsite to access the water.

The plus is they can provide discounts for adventures. The minus is you can't book until you've arrived & during heavy travel seasons, sightseeing/adventure bookings are hard to obtain upon arrival to campground. Park grounds in need of TLC, esp with vegetation; trees/bushes esp those in close proximity to campsites are overgrown. Escort to campsite was helpful. Office ladies 'short.'

Location is awesome. Staff is awesome. Owner is a bit brusque. Was supposed to get pull thru but didnt.
Jul 27, 2021
THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS IN THE TOILET. NOT THE FAMILY FRIENDLY CAMPGROUND I'VE BEEN GOING TO FOR 30YRS. ZERO STARS

Thank you for your input. The service you received is not what we strive for and we hope to do better next year as we see that you have rebooked for 2022.

This is our favorite campground in the US and we love this site because it has a great water view & is very close to the ocean yet isn’t as expensive as the waterfront ones. Barb (campground manager) is great at making sure everything is as perfect as possible. We are staying the whole season this year (May-Oct) & have booked again for next year!
Jul 26, 2021
Perfect

Another pleasant stay at Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. The campground is always clean and the new dump station is very accessible.
Jul 26, 2021
Staff is fantastic as always. Our only complaint were the adults flying through on electric bikes, other than that it was just perfect.
Jul 26, 2021
Lots are narrow and there are few trees. It is a great campground with plenty of activities for all ages. Take advantage of the shuttle into Bar Harbor since parking is expensive and difficult. Loved the lumberjack show down the road.

Beautiful weather, enjoyed our stay very much. Grandkids loved the train and playground
Jul 26, 2021
Staff is always so welcoming and helpful. Love this KOA. Had a great tent site that wasn't to far from the playground and bathroom for my son.
Jul 26, 2021
This was my second year... excellent as usual even with the rain the bathrooms were kept pretty darn good. wonderful natural Maine setting for camping.
Jul 26, 2021
The site was not level and was muddy and had dog poop on the site. I had a cold shower at 9 pm and half the washing machines did not work.
Jul 26, 2021
Yes friendly people, top of the line establishment very impressed indeed

Amazing spot!

The campground is beautiful and clean, but I was in a tent surrounded by RV's. I thought there was campsites in the woods, I used to come here every Summer and this trip was not what I remembered at all.

The only thing nicer than the views at this campground are the people who work there! One person was kinder than the next. The activities for kids were great. The facilities were spotless. This campground is clearly well loved, well-maintained, and will be our top choice for all our return trips to the Bar Harbor region!
Jul 25, 2021
Excellent staff, great activities for children. Lobster Cafe was excellent and the kids enjoyed getting ice cream. The views at this campground can’t be beat. Best view ever!

The entire staff was extremely friendly. Our only complaint was that the fire pit for our cabin was on very uneven ground and at the bottom of a hill making it impossible for us to sit comfortably around it.
Jul 25, 2021
Our stay was short, but sweet. Would have liked to have a pool there for my son, and the firewood was very green, not dry.
Jul 25, 2021
Way too expensive for what? Switched to Smugglers cove for almost half with nicer sites
Jul 25, 2021
Beautiful sunsets, Very friendly Staff, great location for Acadia. Only negative we have is the pullout couch mattress in our deluxe cabin could definitely use an upgrade!

Great campground, beautiful views, conveniently located & we loved the lobster cafe!

The 36th annual trip to Bar Harbor KOA speaks for itself...36 years and counting. As seasoned campers, we appreciate the details management and the KOA crew attend to daily, weekly and annual. Annually upgrading the systems, enhancements to the various sites, and expanding rental opportunities will enhance the good times had by all. Thank you.

The bathrooms were dirty, after numerous complaints about the smeared BM on the stall wall. Children ran around unsupervised and played in and on the bathroom toilets. On the plus side, anything you need from the camp store can and will be delivered for you.

Clean. Beautiful views. Spaces were a little tight but normal for a KOA. Very quiet at night. Staff was great and friendly. Prices at cafe were a little high but food was good. Great location to visit Acadia.

We camped here for a week and loved it. We had the perfect site and it was pretty close to Acadia National Park.
