Saw lots of trees. Some of the views were very pretty. Did not see any wildlife. Was not what we expected. Had a good peaceful drive through the park. Full review by Alex S

We visited Acadia national park in mid August. The park has amazing views of the bay and mountains. We loved Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, Jordan Pond and Cadillac mountain. We enjoyed lunch at the Jord… Full review by Tanuja M
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
A:
Google says Cadillac Summit Road closes Dec 1. My guess is that they are not that busy end of Oct so that’s why no pass required.
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!

If you arrive after Labor Day you may have a better chance at getting parking, depending on the size of your RV. As soon as the sun comes up is the best time to drive around the park …
If you arrive after Labor Day you may have a better chance at getting parking, depending on the size of your RV. As soon as the sun comes up is the best time to drive around the park and get parking, especially at Sand Beach. Bass Harbor parking at the lighthouse is crazy. The lot is too small and it would be difficult in an RV.
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.
