Park CampgroundsCamping is only permitted at one of four designated campgrounds within Acadia National Park. There is no backcountry camping, "out-of-bounds" camping, or overnight parking allowed. When they are open, park campgrounds are very popular. Finding a campsite upon arrival is a rare occurrence during good weather. Make your reservation in advance on www.recreation.gov.
