I enjoyed the old camp ground vibe that the place gave. It felt more family oriented. You’re really close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. There’s also boat tours across the street! The perfect place to stay when you’re visiting Acadia.

it was amazing if you have kids really think about staying there there’s so many activities. It’s an open area where kids can run around and play nice pool. There’s a trail behind the motel that leads up to the park.

This place was great for families! It's decorated retro style, we had two bedrooms with cute Acadia NP art, and loved the continental breakfast with lots of options because we were eating out so much, was nice way to start the day! Close to downtown and on the bus line, also had a pool and multiple playscapes and toys for kiddos, not to mention smores and other activities. Also the staff was always helpful and friendly.
