Looking to camp this summer in Acadia National Park. Which campground do you prefer and why? (Have never camped in this area before) Thanks
Seawall or Blackwoods??
Some of the differences: Seawall is first come, first serve. At Blackwoods, you have to have a reservation. Seawall is on the quiet side of the island which can be good or bad. It is about a 30 minute drive from the restaurants of Bar Harbor although it is close to Southwest Harbor which does have a few breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurants. The biggest portion of Acadia National Park surrounds Blackwoods with the more popular hikes like Cadillac Mountain and those that start at Jordan Pond. There are also hikes on the quiet side, closer to Seawall like Mansell and Acadia Mountains.
If you plan to use the Island Explorer shuttle buses it would be nice to be closer to Bar Harbor because the hub of the routes is at the Village Green in BH.
