Bar Harbor Maine Site no: NE013

At a Glance

This waterfront parc is perfect for an Atlantic shoreline holiday. Pitches are situated either on the waterfront, or amidst a wooded area. Woodland pitches are a short distance from the shoreline but offer cabins, lodges and a swimming pool. You’ll also find a snack bar, mini supermarket, bike rental, outdoor cinema, basketball, fishing and a playground area all within this parc. Plenty to keep even the most active family occupied. Encompassed by 3,500 feet of Atlantic shoreline along the entrance to Acadia National Park, you’ll be able to enjoy nature’s beauty from the private, rocky beach. A regular shuttle service allows you to enjoy all the amenities of the parc and the local area. Whale watching and fishing boats are available to hire, kayaks are available to rent and restaurants specialise in lobster and blueberry pies.
