Campground List - Summer 2016

Here are the campgrounds we stayed at on our way to and from Acadia National Park.

Natural Bridge/Lexington KOA, Site 79, Natural Bridge, VA. Pretty good wi-fi but we were behind the office. Very woodsy. Was a nice overnight stop with a fairly easy pull-through.

Hershey Park Camping Resort, Site 82, Hershey, PA. We were in water/electric (30A) only section, but full hook-ups section looked way more crowded. This was actually a nice, grassy spot under a big tree. Were skeptical at first about fitting in it. Wi-fi was Tengo Internet, need I say more? Shuttles to Hershey Park. There is a train that goes by very often if that kind of thing bothers you.

Bayley's Camping Resort, Site 278, Scarborough, ME. This is a huge campground. No wifi at our spot. Nice, shady, large spot. We were not in the big rig pull-through section, and it didn't look as nice. There is a new adult only pool complex. Other campers seemed unfriendly. Was it my Panthers shirt? Campground is a mile or so from the beach. They have shuttles, but we biked it. Also a frequent train whistle here.

KOA Oceanside, Site 357, Bar Harbor, ME. Beautiful views, great sunsets over the water. We were not right on the water, but had a pretty clear view of it most of the time. No sewer hook-ups, but they have a pump-out service. Was not impressed with the showers. They were dirty and water temp was dependent on if anyone else showed up or not.  There were free shuttles but it is a long ride (50 min) from there to downtown Bar Harbor. We went into several other campgrounds on the shuttle ride and this one definitely seemed the best.

Jonestown/Hershey KOA, Site 81, Jonestown, PA. Overnighted here. Right off the interstate, so there is quite a bit of highway noise. Wi-fi worked fine, but you had to start a free session every 30 min. Luckily everyone was so tired no one needed wi-fi.
