Maine camping, particularly waterfront camping, during the summer months is a popular pastime for thousands of our annual guests. Our campgrounds open early and close late, extending well beyond the reaches of the summer months. All of our campgrounds in the Bar Harbor Campgrounds family are open for the season and anxious to welcome our state’s visitors. But one should not overlook the possibilities of maine camping in the spring and fall. Popular tourist areas and attractions are less crowded and the foliage is beautiful; Spring with it's new growth and blossoms, Fall with the renowned colors of a New England autumn.
