We camped here in June 2009.
We pretty much had the place to ourselves.
I have a pick-up truck camper w/ a motorcycle trailer attached.
The owners set me up in a site, with open sites to either side to store the MC trailer once unloaded. Early evenings are "buggy" in June, so our screenhouse tent was very useful in the early evening skeeter swarms.
Its very nice and quiet on this side of MD Island. Yet there are lots to see and explore.
It is a 1/2 hour drive from Downtown Bar Harbor, yet it is a very nice drive.
The owners were very nice, the sites and bath houses were clean and adequate.
Nothing fancy here, just a nice campground ,in a nice quiet setting.
I'll be back, as Quietside Campground suits my need just fine.

We have stayed at Quietside in one of the log camping cabins and in a tentsite another year. Both times were great, (even though it rained). Clean, convenient bathroom and nice hot showers. tent sites are built up on platforms so tent doesn't sit in water if it rains. cabin had comfortable beds and a bookshelf stocked with good beach- reads. All around good bargain, can't wait to go back!

My husband and I used this campsite on our recent vacation in Bar Harbor. On our way up there I called several times to let them know we would be late checking in - she never once returned our call to let us know all was well and that we could check in whenever and our key would be there, which we discovered upon arrival. This did cause us stress, though, not hearing back from her all day. DON'T EVER EXPECT A CALL BACK AFTER YOU'VE PAID YOUR DEPOSIT. And then based on the cleanliness of the cabin and the showers, I' m not sure what she does...

We stayed in a cabin which was warm and definitely quiet which we wanted. However, the cabin wasn't particularly clean - it didn't even look swept.

When we booked the cabin the female owner told us that it was "close" to the bathrooms. This is important because I have to go many times throughout the night. We arrived to discover "close" meant through a clearing, down a dirt path, continuing over a wood chip path, over a "bridge" which was nothing more than a couple of planks of wood over some still water, down more path, past another cabin, through another clearing and THEN you arrived at the bathrooms. This was cabin #6. Which was right next to two other cabins. Our neighbors were quiet, but we definitely saw them. So if she tries to sell you on privacy, too, don't buy it.

Then because of the water behind our cabin we had tons of mosquitoes which are a problem there anyway but definitely not fun in the middle of the night when all you want to do is go to the bathroom.

For the last night, we had asked to change cabins to be closer to the bathroom. She said it was booked. However, during our trips to the bathroom we never a saw a car out front and the next morning it was uninhabited. RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE She probably just didn't want to clean two cabins. What are we paying for???????

We will NOT stay here EVER again. They are unprofessional and, through their silence and unprofessionalism, rude.

My initial contact with Quietside was wonderful, they seemed incredibly accomodating and added an extra night onto our stay last minute. Unfortunately, it stormed all night and we woke up a bit soaked (which is Mother Nature's problem, not Quietside's). There wasn't any running water available during our first night/second day and no where to go the bathroom/shower (the toilets were FULL to the brim with...you can only imagine). When we let the main office know we were thinking about getting a room in town and were dying for a shower and toilet they simply said, "uh, yea" instead of offering us a dryer or cabin which they did for another commentor. This review probably makes my husband and I sounds a bit "snooty" and we aren't...we are major campers and drove 18 hours to camp in Maine. BUT, not having a shower or toilet after an 18 hour drive is a bit much, even for us.

Also, our site was not at ALL what we had expected. We like our privacy when camping, we don't like looking over our shoulders and seeing our neighbors, their tents, coolers, etc...We felt a bit misled by the websites description of their sites. The site we were in, we had 3 sets of neighbors and could see and hear all of them. These sites are not as private as they come off as being (private from the road but not private from your neighbor). Also, get ready to get in your car to do ANYTHING. There isn't any access to hiking, swimming, etc. You are basically camping in someone's front yard, sheltered by trees. I think next time we are in Maine (we LOVE it there) we will be camping at the State Park and just fork over the dough so we has bathrooms and stuff to do during the day.
