    Cottonwood Camping & RV Park - This was a short drive as Cottonwood is only about 8 miles from the coast, just west of Englishman Bay.

    Folks, I don't really know what to say other than 'you just gotta come here!'…read moreI love this place! I came through on a hum last year, stayed for 2 nights and 3 days. Told Shirley (the owner) I would be back "next year" to help out, and here I am, Aug. 8th, 2019, sad to leave after spending 4 weeks in the grand teepee, helping out around the camp. Off route 1, into the woods, to grandmama's RV we go! But it is so much more... tent sites, group sites, great trails, and great vibe from the surrounding community. But what you really want to know is; this is a great base for exploring coastal Maine & Downeast. Now understand 2 things... Downeast is on the coast, but when the term 'downeast' is used, it is very much a reference to the culture of the folk who grew up and live here and have also known it through the generations of their family. Once you get here, you're in the thick of what "coastal Maine" really is without the crowds of Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, etc.. from Cottonwood you will find within 20 mins. Never crowded beaches with all the beauty of those other places... and you can also make a day trip of getting to Easport or Calaise and just breath in New Brunswick! Oh yeah, bring your passport... One of the other things I love about camping here, are the various small sites that are suitable for bicyclers and bikers who travel with minimal gear and need to stop for short stays. Even though its right off the road, once in, you're cast into the woods! Oh yeah, and I can't think of another camp with such a great bath house along this route... Cottonwood Camping is truly a great experience and my pick as a base for exploring Downeast, Coastal Maine, the far north on the east side of the U.S. Shirley Cotton makes it happen! She is the BOMB!!

    I can honestly say this place was easy to find and very photogenic. Easy to recommend.read more

    Nice setting for families. Big campground focused on cramming in sites. Not the quietest place…read more Hearing others snoring in next tent, etc. less sites and more trees between them would have been better.

    This is an excellent campsite and it's right in the heart of Acadia which can't be beat…read more Important to note that it's tough to snag a reservation during peak season. We stayed July 4th weekend and when we booked in January this was one of the last tent sites available. Granted it was July 4th, but still something to think about. There are a few lucky tent sites that overlook the water which would be incredible. Maybe next time we can book earlier and snag one. Each site has everything you will need -- a platform for your tent (perfect incase it rains), an electrical outlet, running water, a picnic table and a firepit. It is clean and well-kept, and you are never too far from a bathroom / shower facility. Just note that the shower is $1 for 5 minutes and you'll need quarters. There is a main house where you can buy wood and other supplies. During non-covid times they also have a gathering place where you can buy snacks. I believe the rate is around $50 dollars a night but I'm not sure if the rate changes depending on the weekend, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher than normal over July 4th. This is a wonderful campsite and I'd happily return. In comparison, I've also camped at the Oceanside KOA in Bar Harbor and this campsite is way better. Be sure to check it out!

    I grew up at this CG then took my family. After the Robbin's sold out to "corporate run" ,…read morerequiring reservations instead of "first come first served", (& the CG was always filled peak season!), it is not the same. Tried it under new corporate run in 2025 for first time & had to pre-select our site but then with the old system, once you were on your site, it was yours. You pulled in and chose whatever open available site & then went to the office to register. Now you also have to choose ahead of time how many days. With this being said we wanted to stay an extra night. But, now we had to pack everything up & move the RV to another site (of their choice) for just 1 extra night because someone was coming in for the site we were already on for the past 5 days,... (that they also were forced to choose ahead of time). ‍ The old original system worked beautifully! Do not like the new requirements or the new jacked up prices. Miss the Robbin's family owning & running the CG.

    I was a bit concerned because of the low number of reviews for this campground, but after staying…read morehere for 3 nights, I would totally recommend. It was a last minute booking and the campgrounds in Acadia were all booked out for the nights I wanted. Happened to find this spot, and it was a great decision. The bathrooms are very very clean. They have hot and cold water sinks, paper towels, flush toilets, and outlets. They are individual rooms. There is also wifi in some spots of the campground, there is laundry available. I didn't shower at this campground, but there are also quarter operated showers. I think it 50 cents for 7 mins. I could be wrong though. There water spots where you can wash your dishes too. They ask you don't do it in the bathroom. The camp store/ front office also seemed to have a lot of amenities too and they do sell ice if you need it. There is also a free bus that picks up at the campground and goes to Acadia and also Bar Harbor. Parking can be kind of tough at Acadia and Bar Harbor (more so Bar Harbor then Acadia), so it's a good option. The only downside is the tent campsites felt awfully close to each other. Plenty of shade in the tent campsites, but not a lot of privacy besides behind your car which you'll park in front of your tent campsite. I would definitely stay here again purely because the bathrooms were so clean and felt new.
