Gorgeous setting, close to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. Island Explorer shuttle picks you up to take you to the various Areas on Mount Desert Island. Staff was friendly, the other families staying there were not trashy and it was a comfortable atmosphere. Can't comment on the facilities other than the bathrooms because we were constantly on the road site... More

10-15 minutes to town, 15-20 minutes to Acadia National Park. We did not have a water view per se but it was close enough to the water to have outstanding views - especially of the sunset. Site relatively level. Kids enjoyed the pool. Staff was helpful. We would definitely stay at this campsite again.

We have been coming to this area and the campground for 7 years now. Since its been bought by Encore it has gone down hill. The staff was friendly but very lazy as the grass on our site had not been mowed for several weeks and we stayed for 10 days. The fire pits were not cleaned out since the... More

Well situated on Mt Desert Island. Our site was clean and relatively level. The view from site 37 is wonderful. Unfortunately we had very noisy neighbors talking until 2 am and unfortunately the management did do anything to enforce their own rules. The rest rooms could have been in better shape. Wifi availability throughout the campround rather than a hotspot... More

I just got home from a five-night stay at Mt Desert Narrows. I had a tent site, T22, and my brother and his family had a waterfront hookup site. The views from my site were fantastic; from my brother's (I forget which number) were great but there were a bunch of trees blocking the view a bit. When I first... More

With that said, we have 3 kids and they found the campground completely boring.The pool was extremely cloudy( we have a pool at home and it didnt look good to me so the kids didnt... More

We stayed in Site 139. Full sun still the mid afternoon. Site was big most others were too. Playgrounds could use some updating. Low water pressure. Pool was like bath water. No one came around to tell us the fire has to be out. Which was nice. Campground noise level was quiet for the amount of people that were there.... More

Without knowing very much about the area, I chose this campground. I wish I had known much more about what my actual waterfront choices on Mt Desert Island were. We stayed in slot 87, the 2nd highest price point. PROS: Clean campground. Pool if we had wanted it. Plenty of showers close to us. Tree'd wide spot, and very long.... More

We have been camping at Mount Desert Narrows for 10 years now. Since the campground has been bought by new owners and reservations made through Encore, the place has gone downhill. Office staff was ver friendly. We have always liked the location and the size of the sites, but campground is no longer maintained well. Our site had not been... More

We stayed in one of the campground rental trailers. It was clean and had plenty of room for the four of us. Shower was very small but that goes along with staying in a camper. the kids loved the pool. Some of the reviews mentioned that the grounds were dirty. We saw none of that. The staff was very friendly... More
