This summer we stayed a few days at Shore Hills in Boothbay, ME --
They have a nice RV section -- combination of Pull-Thrus and Back-Ins
Very clean and maintained.
They have Cable TV, just no pool -- there is swimming in the River.
Although about 3 hours from Bar Harbor -- the Boothbay Harbor region is a nice stop over point
Before getting our fifth wheel, my wife & I would spend 1 week in Boothbay Harbor, every other year
Also, although we have never stayed -- these folks were at the Tampa RV Show:
Campground: Mt. Desert Narrows Camping Resort
Mount Desert Narrows Camping Resort is ideal for families of all sizes & ages who want to be on Mount Desert Island, near Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park. Mount Desert Narrows features H2O front tent & RV sites, a playground with horseshoes, volleyball, basketball & play structures, a heated swimming pool & an arcade. Our camp store is well stocked with everything from snacks to repair parts. And our friendly staff is always ready to help with your travel needs.

We stayed at The Narrows Too. It was at the end of the Bar Harbor Airport runway. Nice if you liked to hear and watch airplanes?! They were about to re-do the CG a couple of years ago.

We stayed in Birch Harbor (don't rememeber name of the campground) and it was quite rustic. Beautiful area & views and only 1/4 mi from dock where lobsters were sold.

The Narrows campgrounds are very nice and the one on the island isn't affected by the airport. They are however, very expensive. This past summer we stayed at Hadley's Point CG and enjoyed the facilities and the owners were very nice as well. Area A in the CG is sort of their overflow area and very tight but the rest of the CG is fine. Much less expensive then Narrows. We met several Montana owners there and one MOCer.

Have camped yearly at the Mt Desert Narrows Campground for many years. This year there were a good many vacancies over the 4th of July. As previously stated, it is getting expensive. There is a KOA just across the Trenton Bridge as you get on the Island on Rt 3. Both Narrows Campgrounds have the plane noise I have found thru the years. But, not an issue for me.
Some other campgrounds on the Island, but you may be in a dry camp.
Regards

I think the campground in Birch harbor is called Oceanwood. We camped there in our popup but never brought the Monty there.

We liked to spend our money on lobster instead of campgrounds and found Hadley Point was great for us. Close to Acadia and free bus ride to downtown right from the park. We were there for 9 days without sewer but they have a honey wagon that we used twice. We had stayed at the Narrow Two on a previous trip but since they re-did the park the daily rate has jumped to over $70.00. That's a lot of lobster.

We also stayed at Hadley Point CG. Convenient with bus route starting in CG. I wouldn't ever drive in Bar Harbor again, once was enough. Just a quarter mile away from CG is the Traveling Lobster Man. Great bargain and during tourist season they deliver. We drove to pick ours up. No seating as operated out of garage. $35 with tip for 2: 1 1/4 # lobster, cob corn, butter, 8 crab claws, & bun. Maine lobster men said if you want to taste lobster skip the butter, if you want to taste butter drink it. Look to spend 2 days exploring Acadia Nat'l Park and be sure to go to the peak of Cadillac Mt. We spent a week and would love to go back as didn't get enough hiking in.

Murffy and I spent a week or so at Narrows Too. It is expensive but we loved it, backed up to the narrows and were amazed watching the tides. I would go back, the folks working there were super nice as were all of our neighbors. The sites were big enough to feel comfortable in.
