Favorite Family Camping Memories in Maine

Our best vacation memories are camping vacations at Blackwoods Campground in Bar Harbor in Maine. Bar Harbor is part of Acadia National Park in ME.

We took our children there for vacations when they were young, and my husband and I have been back to visit a few times since. There is nothing like listening to the bells on the buoys in the Ocean as you are dozing off to sleep in your tent or camper surrounded by beautiful trees. You are a short drive from so many wonderful attractions, most of them natural and beautiful, I hope to share some of our favorites in other lenses.

This picture is one we took on a recent drive through of the area, to remember, now that the children are grown...it was a cloudy day. We stopped in for another trip down memory lane in September of 2010 when we were in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Typical Campsite on Seal Harbor Side

of Blackwoods Campground

Campsite on Seal Harbor Side of Blackwoods

This campsite is on the Seal Harbor side of Blackwoods Campground, as is the small picture in the introduction of this page. It is a fairly typical campsite, you cannot see the picnic table that is at each site. Each site also has a fire pit for campfires. Bathroom facilities are usually a short walk from sites, and there are water spigots close to most sites as well. Showers are taken off site, there's a place to shower a very short drive from the campground. The last time we were there you started the shower with quarters, I don't know if that has changed or not.

Church in Blackwood's Campground

A very special part of our vacation

A fond memory of our time camping at Blackwoods Campground is the outdoor service that was offered in the Amphitheater each Sunday. The services were provided by "Christian Ministry in the National Parks", website url http://www.acmnp.com We would sit together on benches with the beauty of nature all around us for a simple service, worshiping the Creator of all that we were seeing.
