RE: Bar Harbor Maine

[marin]

 
DH and I are going to Maine in Sept. We would like to stay in Bar Harbor, on the ocean. Does anyone have any first hand experience with the following campgrounds:
 
 Bar Harbor KOA, formerly Barcadia
 Lamoine St Park
 Patten Pond
 Mainayr campground
 
 Other ideas or suggestions appreciated. It s just the  2 of us. Thanks...[]

We always stay in Blackwoods CG in Acadia NP.  No hookups but a nice campground.[]  Bar Harbor is only a few miles away.

And you can walk to the ocean from Blackwoods CG too... They take reservations as well.

We stayed at Barcadia, now KOA, last September during Labor Day week.  The campground was relatively quiet, I guess everyone s back to school at that time.  Not many popups and tent campers but a fair amount of 5th wheels and bigger campers, which are located in a different area.  We stayed at site 311, which was right on the water.  A little tough to get into (our camper is pretty long) but once we were set up we thought it was a terrific location.  Bathrooms were very clean and staff was very nice.  They have a nice store with your basic necessities too.  I would absolutely go back.   We paid $45 or so a nite, which I guess isn t the cheapest, but if you sign up for a KOA membership you get a discount - ours paid for itself with that one trip.   I also liked that it was right at the tip of Bar Harbor, so if you need something you only have a short ride up to the main strip which has grocery stores, walmart, etc.  
 have fun!

Wow, is $45 a night for a camp site really expensive or is it just us?
 
 We went to Bar Harbor a few years ago, before we had a PU, and rented a two bedroom cottage for $60 a night.
