    Love Acadia. It was my favorite place to visit in the summer when we were in Bar Harbor.

    Good morning ! Great video! Nicely detailed, and I do like the new way you did it too, with the layout map of each campground, and circling the sites that were good enough to pass the Lou, "keeper" requirements to go down in the books. lol All the campgrounds were very nice, but I really liked the Schoodic Campground the best ! Beautiful pictures!! The Starfish were amazing! Hey, in the 3rd picture of the starfish, you have in the video, did you notice the thing that was on the muscle shell to the left of the starfish ? It has a circular disign, on it, I wonder what it was that was attatched to its shell ??! Just curious , you know me, lol. Well, wonderful video Lou really enjoyed it alot. Take care, vicky : )

    Good video Lou. I have been to Acadia / Mt Desert Island many times. I always end up staying at the Walmart in Ellsworth, not the campgrounds due to my lack of advanced planning or they are closed for the season.

    Excellent review of one of my all-time favorite places! I've tent camped at Blackwoods many times and visited Seawall as I was exploring the island. Taught my kids that you could survive just on the wild blueberries along the trails in August. And Thanks so much for covering Schoodic! It is on my must stay list for this year. Please tell me you got a chance to walk the low-tide sand bar between Bar Harbor and Bar Island, if not you must go back!

    Great presentation of information and I really appreciate the extra touches you added (graphics and your preferred sites). I was a little discouraged that you didnt find any sites in B loop of Blackwoods as that's where I'm targeting in May as a tent camper. Was that because there really weren't any (based on your criteria) or because you were focused on RV sites? Thanks in advance.

    • @LivingOurDreamNow

      My focus is on RV campsites, but I do include some campsites for those that tent camp. Lou

    Enjoyed your video on Acadia. What month were you there? The campgrounds seem to have a relatively short season and only a two month lead for making reservations.

    @LordMDP Před 3 měsíci +1

    Hey Lou, great video! We're getting ready to take our camper for E Tenn to Acadia. One question. A67 in Blackwood only shows TENT for allowable equiptment. Think that's a mistake?

    • @LivingOurDreamNow
      @LivingOurDreamNow  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Recommend you call the campground to verify. I’d be leery to reserve a campsite for an RV if the online campsite description only says tent for allowed equipment.

    Thank you for the informative video. We are interested in staying at this campground. Do you know what the T-Mobile and Verizon wireless signal is there?

    • @LivingOurDreamNow
      @LivingOurDreamNow  Před 3 měsíci

      I stopped doing upload and download speeds because nowadays signal varies widely depending on the device. You may be able to check camping location review apps for signal information.

      All campgrounds have nearby beaches. None have a beach co-located at the campground.

    You mentioned that you did not find any showers on the campgrounds. How did you manage that? Do you have a portable shower or a shower on board your RV? Do you (or anyone else in the coment section) know of any public showers in/near Acadia?
    Thanks in advance!
