Overview

About This Campground

Here's the plan. Schoodic Woods Campground sits on the Schoodic Peninsula within Acadia National Park, offering a family-friendly base with ocean access. Drive-in sites populate the A and B loops, plus 9 walk-in tent sites and 2 group sites, with most RV and tent sites wired for electricity. Water spigots are scattered around, but there are no on-site showers; Winter Harbor hosts pay showers and supplies about 1.5 miles away, and bear boxes guard food storage at hike-in sites.

The Setup

Setup: Internal roads are paved; aim for A-Loop if under ~21 ft for easier maneuvering; B-Loop accommodates larger RVs but check length; bring leveling blocks if needed; group sites cluster away from main through-traffic

The Vibe

This is a solid, user-friendly basecamp with ocean access and reliable water; not a wilderness retreat, but well-kept and convenient for families and small rigs

Bath & Laundry

There are no on-site showers. Pay showers are located in Winter Harbor about 1.5 miles away. Laundry facilities are in Winter Harbor approximately 1.5 miles from the campground.
