Hard to sum up this fabulous National Park in a few sentences. Stunning views, wonderful hikes, beautiful vistas, and fantastic camping. Make no mistake, it's busy...but don't let that fact preve… Full review by TheGambianRPCV

We drove up 2 hours and then back, so we did not have a lot of time to see much of the park. It was beautiful in October, but the sun sets very early, so the 2 hour drive was not ideal. Stay closer… Full review by Indyinin

Acadia National Park is one the most picturesque parks I have ever visited. It is easy to drive the loop but be aware that many of the more popular spots will be crowded and finding parking may be d… Full review by TheEdgeNYC
Is a visit to Acadia NP in Mid-April 2024 a good idea?

If you go in mid April, make sure to pay to go to Cadillac Mt. Whatever time of year you go, bring a heavy/winter coat just in case. If it's 70 degrees before you leave to go up, it can be 50 degrees up top with 20 mile an hour winds. So it can be quite cool as it was for us. There's no food or bathrooms up at the top. Prepare accordingly. We brought subs up & pulled onto a pull off coming down, set out chairs & had a picnic. At the bottom exit of park, we found a Victorian House Restaurant, which had good food & a bathroom.
It says you need a car pass to go on the sunrise view on Cadillac Mtn., until Oct 22. We are going to be there from Oct 25 to 28th. Can we still go? Do we need a pass? Thanks

You should check the park website or contact the visitor center. (207)288-3338
Family will be driving an RV up to Acadia next month and are staying at various campgrounds. I see that not many places offer RV parking, however NPS told me that there is 1 or 2 RV parking spots at Sand Beach. Can anyone confirm? It seems like Sand beach (for little beehive hikes, etc) and the Bass Head Harbor lighthouse are the hardest to park near from an RV. Getting there early isn't an issue, but just need to know where to go? Can anyone advise? Thanks!

Sorry, we had a car so weren’t paying much attention to RV spots. I will say driving around was a bit frustrating. Streets are not well marked, Park Loop is one-way, and mapquest connection may be spotty. Good luck on your trip!
If I bring my kayaks are we allowed to kayak on the lakes?
A:
That I don't know... there weren't any kayaks but we were at the tail end of the busy season (late October-second week of November) so it was chilly. I would think they have areas …
That I don't know... there weren't any kayaks but we were at the tail end of the busy season (late October-second week of November) so it was chilly. I would think they have areas where you can kayak but you'd have to check their website to find out for sure. Sorry I couldn't answer your question!
Planning a trip to Acadia in August. Need suggestions for where to fly in to, and ideas for itinerary and lodging. It’s my husband and me, we like hiking, kayaking, biking etc. Not into huge crowded areas.
