Narrows Too Camping Resort

We took a tour of the Bar Harbor area via the free bus service which was offered and had a look at other RV sites… we feel we hit a home run with this place. Spacious and quiet with beautiful views of the water.
We were a bit close to RT 3 so there is a constant traffic noise and we’re right near the airport so there’s the occasional bi-​plane and small jet, which being from NYC we could ignore. The areas is awesome, the free buses really come in handy. Very open and spacious sites and we’re definitely coming back.

Narrows Too is actually quite nice. We got a very reasonable deal through LivingSocial and were quite pleased by our quaint little cabin. The bathrooms, though not attached, were well-​maintained, and the showers were clean, private, and with good water pressure.
So why only 3 stars?
The thing I wish I would have known in advance:
~Though they advertise to «bring your own linens,» which I’ve received as instruction before, they should have been more specific. To me, «bring linens» means «bring the things that need laundering» — bring fitted sheet, bring top sheet, bring pillow cases, bring towels (in past cabin-​camping experiences, that is what this has meant, too). But they had *nothing.* No pillows, no blankets, either. I have never been more thankful to find a walmart in my life (open til midnight about 10 minutes away). The website could definitely stand to be clearer in this regard, as whatever money we saved on lodging then got spent on sleeping bags and pillows.
Save for this pretty massive snag, we were otherwise very satisfied with our stay.

This is a great RV campground. We explained our site requirements to the reservationist and they set us up with a great site. Many sites have fantastic views of the water. The showers/​bathrooms were clean, nicely appointed and close to most sites. The office/​store staff couldn’t do enough for us. Talk about service — We needed to get a watch battery replaced. The desk agent went online, found a local jeweler. She even called to find out their hours and whether we could wait for it. The camp staff were always available — We were relaxing at our campsite one afternoon and a groundskeeper stopped to notify us the weather might turn windy later on and we might want to retract our awning. We met wonderful, friendly campers all week long. We would definitely recommend Narrows Too to anyone camping in the MDI area. Close enough to all the activities on the Island but far enough to feel like you are really camping in Maine. Great time.

The Campgrounds along the water had a gorgeous view and were nicely shaded from the summer heat. The pool wasn’t too cold and a nice size. The bus was free and conveniently picked you up directly in front of check-​in. The ride into the quaint downtown area was long, but scenic. It was my first time in an RV Campground, because we rented our RV, and it was the most fun we had camping yet. The staff was patient, kind, informative, and so helpful they even directed us on how to properly use our hook-​ups. I believe the two staff members were Carol and Doug, and we hope they are there next year when we come back to visit!

We have been here several times now, and each and every time, everything is just perfect. We have tried sites up by the pool, in the middle section, and the secluded spots that are just perfect for a family. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and everything is very clean and bright. Wonderful place to stay…

We just got back from a 9 day stay at Narrows Too Campground. I could write a book on how gorgeous this place really is. From the time we checked in until the day we left. I have nothing but absolutely positive things to say about this place.
We traveled in a travel trailer and had one of the more expensive sites on the water. We did book this site a year in advance. We were so happy we stayed on the water. We were literally steps down a hill to the ocean where we parked our canoe for the entire stay. The site is huge! Plenty of space and no trouble backing our camper in at all. I also noticed HUGE rigs backing their bus size campers in with a lot of ease!
We had site 314 and there were plent of trees between both sides of us to not even see our neighbors. Mostly the neighbors were never home anyways considering we are so close to Acadia Nat. Park. The staff upon check in were very nice. and had me checked in within 2 minutes! They give you a very huge welcome packet with even coupons in it. I cannot stress how clean this place is.
The bathrooms were always stocked with papertowels and hand soap. There is even a hand soap container hung down lower for the kids to wash their hands! The bathrooms are spread out pretty evenly, too. The showers are huge! Super clean, too. They have only one pool, but it’s heated. We even went in it when it was only 60 degrees out. the water was nice and warm! We loved it.
There weren’t too many children around. which we loved considering we dont’ have any kids and it was nice and quiet. I’m not too sure this is the place you would want to bring a family. There are no activities and there’s really nothing for them to do. There was a playground but it really had only one thing at it. They also have cabins here if you do not have a camper and they were booked solid for the week and very nice. I liked how there were about 6 very cute cabins in a semi-​circle and then right in the middle they had a huge cement block fire ring for everyone in the cabins to sit around. I think it’s a great way to meet everyone at the campground!
They did have an ice-​cream social on Wed. night. We didn’t go because we forgot about it. On Thursday night «ELVIS» was there. I’m not sure how that was either. We didn’t go to that either. Who wants to leave an ocean-​view site with a nice roaring fire. Not me! They also have two laundry rooms that were very clean also!
We had a problem with our sewer in our camper and maintenance came right down within minutes to help us! They went above and beyond at this campground. The only one bad thing I can think of is the wi-​fi that’s advertised. they don’t let you know you have to pay for it! I paid 14.95 to have wifi for one week. I would love to go back to this place.#1 campground on my list as of now. You will not regret it! Also, we did go to a few restaurants in the area. two places not to go are the Maine Luau and Konas. They were both really bad. I actually returned my food at Konas it was so disugsting! One place to definately go to is in Ellsworth. it’s called riverside café. IT IS THE BEST RESTAURANT. PERIOD!!! **see my review**
