We made our reservations for Acadia with the required 2 month time frame and could only come up with 3 nights so yesterday we had to move. We were able to get on the alert for an additional 1 night but decided to drive to the Bar Harbor side and see what’s happening over there.
Our new spot is at Hadley’s Point Campground and we are now about 7 miles from Bar Harbor and 4 miles from the gates to Acadia. It is a very nice spot with flat RV pads, tents, a kids playground (shhhhh) and for only 50 cents you can get a 7 minute shower. Tell me we’re not moving up in the world!
Our time in Bar Harbor was pretty short but we saw all that we wanted. It’s a great harbor city with a lot of shops and restaurants with plenty of tourists. We decided rather than eat there that we would find one of the dozens of seafood restaurants on the way back and we did (after walking out of one because it was too loud…if it’s too loud you’re too old…uh oh). Our clam chowder and lobster bisque were “spot on” and a great way to end our night.
On to new adventures at Acadia in the am…more to come.
