“Peacefull, quiet and charming place.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011

Excellent place for rest...Nice quiet campground away from touristic spots at south end of the island. Got there without reservation at 11 am on friday July 1st. Many places were still available. Lot of space on each site. Full shade. Some sites were too close together specially in the center of loops. Rangers are nice and welcoming. Saw some deers at dawn. You go asleep and awake with wave sounds. Inexpensive. But two things prevents me from giving a 10/10; the lack of playground and showers. Have to go 5 min away in a store to wash yourself!

“Beautiful location - fell asleep to the waves!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010

I would give this campground five stars, but gave it four only for lacking showers.

It's a great location. A previous reviewer mentioned it was too far away from the main area of the park and Bar Harbor. I preferred being removed from the crowds actually. The actual Seawall is a stunning landscape. My husband and I camped in the B loop and we could hear the waves as we fell asleep.

We have camped a lot in the Northeast and this campground was by far the cleanest. Bathrooms were well maintained. I wish they had showers, but a local convenience store has showers up the road for $1 for 3 minutes. Kind of a rip off, but hey, it's camping.

It's very wooded so you feel secluded from your camping neighbors. We lucked out and didn't have any noise issues. I guess it's the type of people going to National Parks.

If you're visiting from the city, make sure you look UP at night... you won't BELIEVE how many stars!

Acadia is a must visit. Absolutely stunning scenery.

“Nice quiet campground”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

people found this review helpful

I stayed for 3 night with my girlfriend here in a tent. It was a very nice campground and the park rangers were very nice too. It was equipt with plenty of parking space, a picnic table a fire pit with a GOOD grill grate to go over.

There is plenty of water spigots in any direction and almost every site is close to the bathrooms. Some sites are closer than others with less privacy. But it is a quiet campground, so it isn't obnoxious.

The only main downfall is that it is on a off section of Acadia so you have to drive to most places. There are some attractions closer. However, Blackwoods campground fills up very quickly so this was my back-up and worked out well.

I would stay here again.

“Inexpensive campground but far away from attractions”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2010

people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Seawall campground for 3 nights. It was the most inexpensive and only one of two Acadia campground available when we booked. The Seawall area is scenic -- definitely worth a visit. It's not as touristy as the other parts of the island though the flip side is that the main attractions are typically 45 minutes to 1.5 hours away by bus. I probably would not stay here again though a first-time visitor or a budget visitor may want to consider it.

We also stayed at the Robbins Motel across the street which was an extremely convenient location bus-wise to Bar Harbor and the park trails (10-20 minutes away). Across the Robbins is Bar Harbor (private) Campground which is probably where we'll camp out the next time we visit.

“Too crowded”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2008
2
people found this review helpful

Unless you like small, crowded camp sites where tents have to be pitched on gravel, this place should be avoided. The sites are too close, allow no privacy and provide no grass. It is okay for a night or two if you want to hike locally, but make your appointment with the chiropractor before you leave.
