This small part of Acadia has to be one of the best National Parks in the lower 48 states. There are only five campsites on the island. You can hike rugged coastal trails all day and not see anyone. Come prepared or you will be disappointed. Some trails have thick vegetation while others are very rocky. The campsites are close to the dock so don't be afraid to bring camp chairs, wine, etc.
we booked our campsite almost 8 mo's in advance because of wait time for Columbus day weekend Only to find out that the Ferry to get there doesn't even run our whole duration that we are there. No where did it mention this on the national park website. We then made provisions to hire a private captain to bring us there and back, another 300.00, as the ranger said that would be OK. The captain called the rangers to confirm (spoke with a female ranger) and then turned around and said we could not do this. No boats are allowed to dock the island. We are now in the middle of trying to figure out how to get 4 days worth of provisions for four people to a national park that sold camping reservations and pulled there floats out. which let me clarify that the town dock is several miles from the park campground.
Great campground! Make your reservations! Do not worry about weather, the shelters are excellent and the amenities are just like it says online. Drinkable water, fire pits, hiking paths, etc. Check the ferry schedules. Early in the season you have to ferry to town and hike 4 miles or so. Summer season has a ferry right to the campground dock. Go early, less humans more animals.
