Default Overnight camping trip in Acadia NP

Left last Thursday for an overnight camping trip in Acadia NP. I only live about 215 miles away.

I stayed here for $32, it's the closest campground to Bar Harbor and they don't take reservations and it's cash or check only. There were and usually are plenty of tent sites.

Here is my site.



On top of Cadillac Mountain.











The next morning in and around the park.























Beautiful area and I was able to get about 600 miles in all together. If you haven't been to Acadia NB it needs to be on your list!

Thanks for looking!

-Keith

Good to see you parked in the no parking zone for your last pic!

Glad you enjoyed the Park Loop road and our area, I'm lucky to be able to ride the Loop every day, and it never get's old or boring, no matter how many times I ride it.

Awesome Pics. Thanks for sharing. Maine is a State that we have not traveled to (on the bike) but will have to add it to the bucket.

Looks like a good time, nice pictures!

Been up to Bar Harbor 3-4 times on Columbus day weekend. Stay at Bar Harbor Koa. Beautiful area especially in the fall. Nice and cool crisp air with beautiful scenery.

I would love to get up there with the bike sometime.
