A group of us (4) are planning a camping trip to Acadia over Memorial Day weekend. Our plan is to head up to Acadia on Saturday from Gloucester, MA and spend Saturday through Wednesday camping. I%26#39;m from NJ and understand how crazy traffic and crowds are at the shore over Memorial Day Weekend. Is it the same in Acadia? Do you think there will be lots of traffic? Does anyone think we%26#39;ll have a difficult time finding a campsite at Seawall on a Saturday?? If so, are there other campgrounds you would recommend as backup? We%26#39;re pretty ';rough'; tent campers, who like fairly private, wooded sites as far away from RVs and noisy campers as possible.
Memorial Day Weekend Camping in Acadia
Memorial Day weekend is a crapshoot in some aspects. How crowded it will be really depends on the weather forecast (and how really prophetic the forecasters turn out to be). Both Seawall and Blackwoods (Acadia National Park campgrounds) will be open. If you are at all unsure of getting into Seawall, which is first come, first served, then you might want to try getting a reservation at Blackwoods or one of the other campgrounds on MDI.
Quietside Campground and Bass Harbor Campground have received good reviews in the past.
I really doubt that you will find things anywhere nearly as crazy here as on the NJ shore for that period.
