“Nice Cabin near Acadia National Park”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

We stayed there 3 nights(8/1-4th) while visiting Acadia NP in one of their camping cabins. We are a family of 5 and we were happy with its basic setup including 2 sets of bunkbeds(sleeps 5), heater, microwave and refridge. At age 50 we have outgrown tents, but enjoy camping so the cabins worked great. They even had a covered porch with chairs.
It is convenient to Acadia NP about 15 miles, and close to restaurants and stores.
The campround caters mostly to RVs, Motorhomes and senior citizens. There was nothing for kids to do in the evenining. The activity center was not open in the evening and the heated pool closed at 7pm. It would have been nice if it was open till 9pm to enjoy after hiking in Acadia.
The campground was quiet. Bathrooms/showers where super clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly/helpful.
We would recomend Narrows Too campground if you are looking for an economical place to stay while visiting the Acadia NP area. The scenery is nice overlooking the bay and mountains. It's interesting to see the big tide changes up north.

Room Tip: all 10 cabins were equally nice

“Expensive,Misleading”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2010

person found this review helpful

Site says "Spectacular oceanfront and ocean view sites"This is False.It is a small bay.With the tide,it becomes just a big mud hole in the evening.Nothing "spectacular about that"The park is pretty much all gravel,very little grass.Sewer drains don't have threaded couplers.The park was quiet and well maintained.Pool was closed first 2 days of stay,so we never got a chance to use it.
For 100 bucks a night,i would think they would at least offer free wi-fi,i get that at about any other campground for free at half the cost of the stay.
It is the last campground on the bus route that takes you to destinations in bar harbor and the park.I found out through others that the trick is to drive to the Acadia visitor center and catch the bus there.It is the first stop for buses.From campground to Bar Harbor on the bus takes almost an hour and a half!They never mentioned the Visitor Center trick to me when we almost missed our boat tour trying to get back in town.(Never try to park in town if you have a cruise scheduled)
They had a couple activities scheduled,ice cream social and an Elvis impersonator.I would not recommend the so called ocean view lots,premium or otherwise.Way to much money for what you get.

“This place is right in the middle average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2010

people found this review helpful

When we checked into this place they gave us a sight right next to the water. They then handed me a very large bill. I explained to them that I was a member of “ Ready Camp Go!” and that I should be paying only $20 per night (after paying a membership of $200) They then apologized and gave us a site way in the rear, even though the rest of the place was empty. The place it self was OK not a great location.
The Ready Camp Go membership is a waste because you are treated like a second-class citizen when you check in.

“big changes”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2009

We have been staying at this campground for 20 years and a lot has changed some good ,some not so good. It used to be a small, quiet campground, the water sites had no sewer and were smaller. The campground has been taken over by a corporation and turned into a "camping resort". The prices have really gone up, we paid $80.00 a night for a water site in the off season!!!!!! What did we get for this?, water, electric, sewer and a great view, period!! Wi-fi was extra, no free news papers, no pool (it was Sept.), no activities, 2 years ago they gave free fire wood, not any more, the bathrooms were clean but so is the one in my camper, I really can't see the justification for the very high price. They sites hve been changed in the rest of the campground as well, it now resembles a large parking lot!! I guess that must be what campers with big motor homes want because it was crowded. The views vary depending on how many campers are packed in.
I guess camping has changed people are looking for easy easy pull thru sites and campgrounds with the services of a resort hotel. Although Narrows Too has beautiful views, clean bathrooms, friendly staff (they are employees not owners!!), I feel that you don't get much for you money, they could have at least given me a voucher for free wi-fi we stayed for a week at a cost of almost $700.00!!!
As a side note, although it was not the falt of the campground, road work was being done every night and because of the way the campsites are located we got to be kept awake by the sounds of truck back up beepers and the banging and hammering of workers putting gaurd rails into Maine rocks!!!
It is a nice campground just be prepared to pay for it!!

“Beautiful spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2008

Beautiful, peaceful, clean. We stayed 11 days on a waterfront site. It couldn't have been better. It was quiet, private with trees on each side and pets allowed. The staff was very friendly and helpful - even told us where to go to see a Moose, well maybe... Now we were there in mid-September after the season so can't speak for season visitors.
