Camping at Acadia 

Glad you like them! Thanks for the nice comment. I am trying to get myself out there making videos again and it helps to see good comments on here. Acadia never gets old.

I believe the answer is yes but you should call them since they will know precisely and my memory on the sites is blurry now. Great place. Have fun!

@@RachelWhelton I found some. With that view it seems well worth the price. Still much cheaper than a hotel, too.

Oh, and Millie's adorable.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting.

Thank you so much!

That particular campground may be closed down now but I'd recommend the official Acadia campgrounds, which have just opened their reservations for this season. Blackwoods Campground is probably the best since it is closest to the phenomenal ocean coast.

I need to use it again. Next trip!

I currently coach at a private school and have no students with whom to make tennis videos. My own kids have moved on to other endeavors. I'd love to make more tennis videos if the circumstances change.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!

Milliard Folding Mattress with Washable Cover. I bought it in 2019 on Amazon for something over 100 bucks can't recall exact price. My mom bought two for her camper van. I bought an extra cover to carry another big sleeping bag. I but twin fitted sheets at Walmart to keep it covered. Very comfortable.

Yes, a lot of gear I carried. Some I'd bring again. Some I'd leave home next time.

Rachel Whelton looks like a place I would like to visit sometime.. been wanted to come out that way sometime! I am in Oregon! Thx for the great post! 😁

There is no rule that you have to sleep on the platform but usually people choose to do so because your tent stays dry at the base. To secure the corners, I wedged the tent pole ends in between the deck slats. It wasn't perfect but it stayed in place. Usually sites have more space but this particular site didn't have room for the tent except on the platform.

@@RachelWhelton thank you!

Site A11+, which did have a water view but also had a walk from the car. Too much carrying of stuff back and forth. Mount Desert Campground has a map and all the purple squares are waterfront platforms. Most of them let you park your car right next to your site, which I think is better.

I tried a headband that had built-in headphones that lay flat. I got a white noise app to play on it. It was better than nothing but not a total cure because you wake up sometimes because it is different than your normal sleeping arrangement. So far the only good thing I've found is camping next to a river. My husband uses small foam ear plugs and he says that works for him; but for me they weren't so great because I could still hear snoring.

I bought an annual pass so I plan to go a couple times hopefully. I was just up there for the milky way video and that particular campground was all closed up. I wonder if it is for sale or just temporarily closed due to winter/covid. Maybe next time I will check out a new camping area.
