Two of the best camping trips my wife and I ever took were to Bar Harbor Maine. In addition to Acadia National Park and being a beautiful area, there are endless activities. Also there are or were free buses that picked up and dropped off at all or most of the campground and hotels/motels on the main roads.
The first time we stayed at Mt. Desert Narrows. We had a site that backed up to a cove. My wife and I were sitting outside watching Bald Eagles flying over the cove when someone, stepped out onto an outcropping of rocks and started playing Amazing Grace on the bag pipes. It was an amazing week.
The second time we stayed at Bar Harbor Campground. I want to say this is the place where you can't make reservations, it's like a land grab, but this was probably 15 years ago. In the morning they open up to new campers waiting for sites. We were hoping for full hook ups as we were staying a week. We ended up choosing a water/electric site that overlooked the bay. It was such a beautiful site that we canceled the reservations we had in Old Orchard Beach for the second week and stayed in Bar Harbor, (Bah Habah, lol). We used water sparingly, used the bath house for showers. I think I had to hook up once and go to the dumping station one time during the two weeks but it was worth it.
When we give up our seasonal site and decide to travel again, this would be one of the first places we would go before getting out of the snow belt. Good luck!
