Acadia campgrounds to open this spring - Mount Desert Islander

Acadia campgrounds to open this spring ACADIA NAT’L PARK  After being closed all last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the park’s campgrounds are to be open this year, starting in May.   But the overall number of available campsites will be reduced “to allow us to spread campers out and to clean the restrooms more frequently,” said Deputy Superintendent Mike Madell.  “At Seawall, the campsites are really quite close together, so we might have only about 50 percent occupancy there,” he said. “But Schoodic Woods, the newest campground, was built in a way that there is inherently more distance between sites. So that’s probably going to be closer to full occupancy than to 50 percent.”
