Campgrounds in Acadia National Park are reopening to the public in 2021, but capacity will be reduced.

• During 2021, all campsites must be reserved in advance within a 60-day rolling window. No sites are available for last-minute walk-up request upon arrival

• All group sites are closed for 2021.

• Sites are offered within each loop. RV and tent sites are available in each campground.

Online Reservation Tips:

• You can make a reservation on the park's campground webpages below, or at recreation.gov.
• You will need to make an account before you can reserve your campsite.
• Reservations are available two months in advance.
• If you're not able to reserve a particular campsite, it might not be available in 2021, or you may be checking dates ahead of the 60-day rolling window.

Firewood brought in from other areas may contain non-native insect species that pose a serious threat to park resources. Quarantines have been issued for some areas. Please leave your firewood at home. Firewood is available locally.
