Saturday – September 26 – Seawall Campground – Acadia National Park – Cost $10 with golden age    We have never stayed at this campground in Acadia National Park in Southwest Harbor.  This campground is a first come first serve campground and closes September 30.  It is in the peaceful area of Acadia National Park and the reason we had never stayed there before is that there is always a waiting line to get in but since we had reservations for Blackwoods the next day we thought we would take a chance that it would not be crowded in September five nights before it closed.  We loved the campground.  There are about 31 RV sites in  loop C which was built just for RV’s.  New bathrooms but no showers but they can be found outside the park for a fee.  It is a walk away or quick bike ride away from the seawall in a beautiful area.  Many of the campers there could not get into Blackwoods campground so came here and decided they would stay because they loved it.  Hiking, biking, kayaking and a quick ride to Echo Lake where there is swimming.  To get over to the parkway road and Bar Harbor it is about 30 minutes away.  The night we were there they were giving away free fire wood because it was the end of the season.  Nice campground with Ranger talks and walks and some of the friendliest rangers who will give you complete information about the park, free shuttles, hikes etc.  This campground is not as busy in the fall as Blackwoods so the rangers have more time for you!  Some campers stopped at the local grocery store in Southwest Harbor where they will steam lobsters for you on the go – our camping neighbors had lobster every night!

  We had great weather and rode our bikes all over and especially over to the seawall.  Glad that we were finally able to stay here after all the years we have camped in Acadia.
