Sites at Blackwoods Campground at Acadia are much in demand during the summer months/NPS

Campgrounds at Acadia National Park in Maine are still about a month away, or more, from opening for the 2019 season, but that doesn't mean you can't reserve a site now for your vacation. And you should, to ensure yourself one.

Acadia has four campgrounds available for online reservation through Recreation.gov. Finding a campsite upon arrival is a rare occurrence during good weather; there are no first-come first-served sites. 

Campground opening dates for the 2019 season are:

Blackwoods Campground, online reservation season: May 1- October 20, 2019.

Seawall Campground, online reservation season: May 22- October 13, 2019.

Schoodic Woods Campground, online reservation season: May 22- October 13, 2019.

Duck Harbor Campground, online reservation season: May 15- October 13, 2019. Reservations for Duck Harbor Campground begin on April 1st at 10 a.m. EST each year.

Keep in mind that you should not be bringing firewood with you. Firewood brought in from other areas may contain non-native insect species that pose a serious threat to Acadia National Park’s forests. Firewood is available locally near Blackwoods, Seawall, and Schoodic Woods Campgrounds. Visit this site to learn about invasive species and their impacts on Acadia.
