Where is the best place to camp in Acadia?

One of the most frequently asked questions we hear from folks is where is the best place to camp in Acadia? We thought we’d let BDN blogger, Cherie Galyean of The Scraped-Up Kid give you her answer in this new post she just published, The very best campground on Mount Desert Island. Here is a fun excerpt:

A few days ago, a friend posted on Facebook asking about the best campground on Mount Desert Island for her family. She tagged me for an answer because I guess I seem like someone who would know. I like the outdoors, I camp, I live on MDI. But here’s the thing: I don’t know. Although I like camping, I don’t love it, so we don’t go very often. Also I live on Mount Desert Island. Since my camping experiences are so rare–maybe two or three times a season, tops–I tend to want to go somewhere else. I have definite opinions about campgrounds in other areas of the state, but Mount Desert Island? That’s harder.

Do you have any great camping stories? We want to hear them! Post pictures and stories in the comments below.
