Overview

About This Campground

Alright, Seawall Campground sits in Acadia National Park with a mix of tent, walk-in, and RV-ready sites. No hookups are offered; you’ll find water spigots and flush toilets in each loop, plus an on-site dump station. Generators aren’t allowed everywhere—Loop C is the exception, with limited hours—and quiet hours run from 10 PM to 6 AM. Plan for bear safety and remember: only one vehicle per site, and showers are off-site.
