Here's How I Did A Solo Road Trip to Acadia... & Camped in My Car! 

Are you a female who loves solo travel? A National Park adventurer? Someone who loves the sunrise? Too lazy to pitch a tent? Well, I am all of those things and more! So when I had the chance to take a solo road trip to Acadia National Park in Maine, I packed up a rented SUV and hit the highway with every intention of camping... in the car!
Now, it took me 12 hours to drive there from DC, which I did not document, but once I arrived, I hit most (if not all) of the major highlights, including:
-Thunder Hole
-Sand Beach
-Otter Point
-Jordan Pond
-Cadillac Mountain... and that stunning sunrise!
I reserved a campsite at Blackwoods Campground (reservable up to two months in advance): www.recreation...
I had my National Park Pass:

And made sure to snag my Cadillac Mountain Summit Road pass so I could see that iconic experience during my short visit: www.recreation...
You should know that camping in your vehicle is prohibited in Bar Harbor, ME or surrounding Acadia National Park outside of the designated campgrounds. If you do have a campsite, sleeping in the car was actually quite comfortable thanks to my Luno Vehicle Air Mattress: lunolife.com/p...
A solo road trip to Acadia, camping in the car. What a way to see the Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast!
A personal note: You might have noticed that I was a bit under the weather during my trip, but it didn't stop me from hiking, exploring, and forest bathing (distanced in healing Mother Nature)!
