Lodging Options Additional Information Additional Regulations and Tips By following these regulations and tips, you can help protect park resources and make your stay at Acadia more enjoyable. Thank you for planning ahead and complying with park regulations. • All camping must be done in established campgrounds. Overnight backpacking is prohibited in Acadia National Park because the park is small and fragile. • No person may camp in the park for more than a total of 30 days in a calendar year. From May 1 through October 31, camping is limited to 14 days total in Blackwoods and Seawall Campgrounds. • Blackwoods and Seawall Campgrounds are closed to persons other than registered campers from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. • Quiet hours are from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. Generators may only be used from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. • Check-out time is 10 a.m. • All campers must comply with conditions of camping permits. • Camping fees are subject to change. Camping fees and entrance fees are separate charges. • Fires: Contained charcoal and wood fires are prohibited except in provided fireplaces or receptacles or private grills in established campgrounds and picnic areas. Dead and down wood may be collected for campfires in the park provided that 1) wood is not collected from within the campground unless it is in park-provided wood piles and 2) chainsaws are not used to gather wood. • Pets: Pets must be kept on a leash six feet or less in length and may not be left unattended. Please do not leave pets locked in the car. On an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a car—even with the windows cracked—can reach over 100 degrees within 10 minutes. • Food Storage: Proper food storage helps ensure your safety and the safety of those camping around you. Please store all human and pet foods and cooking equipment in an enclosed vehicle or a hard-sided food locker whenever you are not present. This precaution will limit the opportunity for wild animals to be attracted to your camping site, tent, or vehicle. Remember to place all garbage, including empty cans and bottles, in trash containers or in your vehicle. Never store food or any container with human or pet foods in your tent or under tarps. Park regulations require all campers to properly store food, trash, cooking utensils, and other items that may attract wildlife. Failure to do so may result in a fine. • Revegetation at Blackwoods: In response to extensive rehabilitation at Blackwoods Campground, the park has undertaken a revegetation project to replace much of the vegetation that was lost during construction. Here’s how you can help make this project a success and help restore these areas to their natural condition: Areas where native plants are planted will be roped off and signed to indicate what’s happening there. Small trees and shrubs will be mulched with wood chips. Please don’t walk through these areas or damage new or existing plants or trees. Stay on designated paths at Blackwoods Campground. Taking shortcuts kills plants! Remember: It only takes one footstep to kill a plant! • Firewood Alert: Attention! Firewood brought in from other areas may contain non-native insect species that pose a threat to Acadia National Park's resources. Please leave your firewood at home if you live in the affected areas: portions of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana (emerald ash borer) and portions of Illinois, New York, and New Jersey (Asian long horned beetle). Quarantines have been issued for some areas. For more information, see the pest alert (188KB PDF) produced by the National Park Service. Group Camping At Blackwoods and Seawall Campgrounds, nine group campsites (five at Seawall and four at Blackwoods) accommodate 15 campers per site. Group campsites are reserved through the park. Visit the group camping page for more information. Isle au Haut Camping is permitted on Isle au Haut from May 15 to October 15 and requires obtaining a special use permit in advance. Visit the Isle au Haut page for more information. Winter Camping From December 1 through March 31, Blackwoods Campground is available for primitive camping only.

The campground entrance road is closed to automobiles during this time period; campers are required to hike in from the campground entrance. Campers must be self-sufficient.
