Our review on Campground Reviews:

Good base for Acadia NP

We were initially assigned a short, very narrow site crammed in between two trailers, even though the park was mostly empty. We went to the office and asked if we could move to another site that would be a better fit (and not wedged between other campers), and the very friendly and helpful young lady was able to move us across the road into one of the front-in sites, which was much nicer and even gave us a peek of the water from our windows. The site was level and plenty long for our 40′ motorhome and tow vehicle. The utilities all worked well. They also accept mail/packages with no charge. We camped at Narrows Too Camping Resort in a Motorhome.

Tip for Other Campers: Walk across the street to Gateway Lunts Lobster Pound for excellent lobster rolls and fish. Sugar Bakery is also good, but they are only open early in the day and only accept cash.

We’d be happy to stay here again, though are unlikely to go to that area of the country again.

So we went back to the office and asked if we could move, and ended up in a much better site; sometimes it pays to ask:
