Review: Blackwoods Campground – Acadia National Park
Posted in Camping on June 29th, 2009 by ChrisBlackwoods Campground is one of the two camping areas within Acadia National Park. It is located on Route 3, five miles south of Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island, in Maine. We stayed there for seven nights, from June 13th to June 20th. It is a beautiful campground, and we cannot wait to return.
Our campsite, prepared for the rain.
The rangers were very helpful during our stay. When we arrived, they made sure to give us a larger site since we were staying so long. The sites are all gravel, raised up from the area around it. I recommend bringing a sleeping pad or something else to sleep on. The bathrooms were nice, cleaned frequently, with flush toilets and running water. There are no showers in the campground, but there are coin operated showers on Route 3, just north of the park entrance. Also, the park does not sell any firewood, but there are plenty of people along Route 3 that sell it at a fair price.
