Staff was very helpful and friendly! And I love the ability to send and receive texts for info and services, or camper concerns or inquiries.

Great service. Great views. Lots of activities for the kids. Very dog friendly! Clean sites. Short drive to Cadillac mountain, down town bar harbor, shopping and restaurants. This was our third year and we will continue coming back.

Beautiful campsites, facilities were very clean, and I can’t say enough about the hospitality exhibited by the personnel. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely campground, wonderful staff!

Great setting and location, sites a bit too close together, would prefer a site closer to the water but I'm sure everyone wishes to be in those sites. The "Lobster Cafe" is an excellent feature to this location and the food was perfect.

The staff was amazing - helpful, efficient and professional! Our site, 349, could have had better drainage - lack of gravel/rock.

great view, good location, lots of friendly people and security was amazing

Absolutely loved our stay. The staff was super friendly and the whole campground insanely clean everywhere. We loved it and can't wait to come back

All staff was wonderful- Sam helped us find our site that was provided as an alternative from an amazing staff member working in the office:( Michelle was exceptional, trying to help us create a plan for next year. When there was an issue with our water pipes, men immediately came to fix them. Excellent stay! Thank you!

Nice spots near the bay. Plenty of room to roam. Good food at the cafe. Quiet when it needed to be. Clean!

Hosts were very accommodating. Campground was in a gorgeous setting. Great little cafe where you could get breakfast, a lobster roll, and ice cream. Fine selections of local beers and wines. All in all great place!

The new pavilion is a great addition to the camp... love the improvements without making it too posh

We paid for a premium space that was 2 spaces together with tents on one side and our camper on the other. It was a shared space that we shared with folks we didn’t know who had lots of kids! They said we had a water view. Had to climb up on the picnic table to see it. not many trees. I won’t stay there again. They do have plenty of kids activities and cooked lobster one night for purchase $36

Been going to KOA for quite sometimes. Not in my opinion a good one..Internet was very weak..boil water/no chorline alert entire stay of 1 1/2 weeks. Get your wood somewhere else, wet not dry. Bathroom sometimes not cleaned expecially in am. Water pressure very low. Employees worked hard and very nice though. Won't come here again. Go somewhere else I would say

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic and grounds were clean. The week we stayed was not long enough! Beautiful sunsets, and a great little cafe. We watched the neighbors kids enjoying all the amenities and then at quiet time is was silent. I will say that the text messaging system was very valuable. The campground felt more like a neighborhood to us, thank you

We have been here many, many times over the past 20 years and it's one of our favorite campgrounds. The location is perfect and the views are spectacular. We love kayaking in the bay - especially at dusk. The facilities are impeccably clean and there are always friendly staff members around to help when needed. We really appreciated having a dog park available, too. A fantastic place to stay!

Site #94 was uneven and difficult to level my short trailer.
Aug 27, 2021
The staff was very friendly, we felt very safe. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Great experience! The ocean front sites were awesome

GREAT TIME !!

Was a nice getaway. Some guest do squeeze a little more space from those around them. (Slide out in our space.) need to ensure pet area grass is cut regularly.
Aug 25, 2021
sites are way to close together, no privacy and cant hardly have a camp fire because your neighbors vehicle is right on top of you
Aug 25, 2021
We always recommend this campground to others! We had a fantastic time even though the weather was a little miserable and our stay was short. Our oceanside site was fantastic and the kids loved playing in the tide pools as always. The activities director this year was fantastic. She had such great ideas for the kids' activities.

Everything was great! Did notice that the grounds were not kept up as they usually are. We are sure that as in all states, there was a shortage of staffing because of Covid. Also, some of the office personnel did not seem very happy. But it has been a tough year for everyone. We still had a good time and will be back next year. Thank you.

We would have rated it higher, but we had to interact with Michelle in the office.

The Lobster Trap is nice. Bathrooms were clean. Unless a forested site they pack RVs so close together with nothing dividing them. No trash pick up at site. Due to a bad bacteria found in the drinking water we had to boil before using and there was no offer for inconvenience. No free bottled water or site rate breaks. All shoulder shrugs when I asked the office. We won’t be back.

Our camp site was great, overlooking the harbor. The campground was well maintained and clean. Everything was thought out and organized. A highlight and unexpected pleasure was the lobster dinner and s'mores at the cafe our first night there. We were grateful for the shuttle that drove us into downtown Bar Harbor.

Staff nice and helpful but price for staying here was horrendous. Never spent so much for a gravel site. $147 to be exact. Wanted a tent site but they wouldn’t let me stay in my van because of the hurricane rains that night. They had bad water (couldn’t drink) and only posted at the checkin desk. Just happen to see it. The message did not get sent until the next morning. Definitely won’t use

Drank and brushed my teeth in the water. Got sick and had to leave a day earlier before my actual departure date. Spent $260 for a one night stay. Got a message saying to boil water until further notice a day too late. Meanwhile in Ellsworth days beforehand was showing cases of contaminated water and people getting sick. Didn't get to do anything during my stay except frequent their bathroom.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry you didn't feel well during your stay. The water issue were resolved immediately & days prior to your arrival. In addition, please be assured the cabins were never effected. Again, we are very sorry for your experience and hope to see you again.

We love the Bar Harbor KOA! It's our favorite trip of the year. See you in 2022!
Aug 23, 2021
Ok, no frills, no pool. Clean bathrooms.
Aug 23, 2021
While the location is beautiful, the overall experience was poor. The water safety was compromised and we were on a boil water advisory for our entire week- long stay. No bottled water was offered to campers. 25$ for a bundle of wood? 60$ a day to shuttle our family of 4 to Acadia...and not show up 3 times? Ridiculous! Grouchy store staff. Value for your $...just not there.
Aug 23, 2021
Love the location. We had a decent site and staff efficiently checked us in and took us to our site. Although camping is great for kids it would be safer for everyone if no one was allowed to ride bikes around after dark. Kids don't pay any attention and dart in front of you when driving and walking. There is a check in rule which is not followed so staff do not have time to ready site for incomin

The facilities are very old and not practical. The vost is unreasonably high because of the market price for accommodations. Not worried. Wish Koa would become more adult friendly.
Aug 23, 2021
Love that the sites aren't perfect and that you have maintained a natural waterfront... cable could be better
Aug 23, 2021
Absolutely loved this campground and site was perfect. The only issue I had was our cable did not work the whole stay. They said it would be fixed after we left.

This was our 2nd 3 night stay. Very nice campground.

The water shower is too cold and the merchandise from the store is at least 30% more expensive than the other stores near by. For example the gallon of water was $7 and the store at 4 min drive was $1.50. Same w many items. I was surprised by this overpriced specially with the water, considering that they were having a warning for not using running water as drinking water due to an issue.

Tall grass at site….patio was all weeds. Not worth the extra money…. Dogs barking non stop. Informed management

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.
