Our family enjoyed a great stay in one of the cabins at Bass Harbor Campground at the end of June. We were there for five nights in cabin 5 which has a loft which the kids loved. The cabin was very nicely maintained, and very charming. We appreciated and used the microwave, mini refrigerator (there was a tiny freezer compartment in the top of the refrigerator) and coffee maker. There were plenty of electric outlets too. The campground was very pleasant, and had a family owned nature to it. The bath houses were not brand new, but we always found them clean and pleasant. The laundry room was also very nice, and to wash and dry a load of laundry cost $3.00 in quarters. There is a nice big utility sink on the side of the bathrooms for washing dishes. Each cabin and camp site has its own water spigot and we thought the water tasted very good. We loved the pool and got to use it a couple of times. It was clean and the water felt great. We also found the other campers to be very quiet and respectful.
We enjoyed walking to the lighthouse and the location near the Ship's Harbor and Wonderland trails, but the drive is at least half an hour to get to the main sites of Acadia. All in all it was a great home base for seeing Acadia and we really enjoyed our stay at Bass Harbor campground!
