[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. You have convinced me to explore the idea of Acadia more. If not staying in Bar Harbor, where does one stay? Are there different entrances to the park and if so are they all good? [/quote]

Acadia is on Mount Desert Island. The island itself is relatively small. Anywhere you stay is within driving distance to park. The park takes up a good part of the island and the only places you’ll need to get through a gate and present your pass is park loop road approaching sand beach. You should get a park pass though as you’ll need to display it when parked (plus it supports the NPS).

If you’re traveling in summer and staying less than a week, BH may be your only choice as it has hotels. If you’re staying for a week, that opens up much more options. The best being going with a vacation rental through a local agency. It’s old school like that.

I read a lot of people are down on BH. It’s the gateway town to one of our most beautiful NPs. It will be busy, especially if a cruise ship is there, but it’s manageable. Rt3 through town will have traffic but again it’s manageable. [/quote]
