Wild Acadia Camping Resort

Wild Acadia Camping Resort offers families the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Mount Desert Island area by staying right in the heart of it. Situated near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, the resort provides a base camp for outdoor adventures with the amenities that make camping comfortable for families with young children.

For kids, camping in this region is a transformative experience. Days are filled with Acadia hikes, tidal pool exploration, and sea kayaking; evenings bring campfires, s'mores, and stargazing in skies that are dramatically darker than most kids experience at home. The rhythms of a camping trip — waking with the sun, spending all day outside, gathering around a fire — create some of the most enduring family memories possible.

The resort accommodates families of all ages and configurations, with facilities that include restrooms, showers, and potentially on-site food options. Strollers can navigate the grounds and nursing facilities are available. A typical family of four should budget around 80 dollars per night for a campsite, with rates varying by site type and season.

Summer weekends book out months in advance, so reserving early is essential. Shoulder season visits in late May or September offer lower rates and smaller crowds while still delivering the beauty of the Acadia region. Pack bug spray, rain gear, and a solid weather plan — Maine summer weather is famously unpredictable, and being prepared ensures nothing derails the adventure.
