Blackwoods Campground

Blackwoods Campground stretches across forested grounds within Acadia National Park, offering 281 camping sites surrounded by pine and hemlock trees near the Atlantic coast.

The campground earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places through its role in the development of recreational facilities in Acadia National Park during the early 1900s.

Rangers at Blackwoods Campground provide educational programs about Maine's coastal ecosystems, native wildlife, and the traditional practices of the Wabanaki people.

Reservations for ninety percent of the camping spaces open six months ahead through Recreation.gov, with remaining sites released fourteen days before arrival dates.

The campground sits within walking distance of Ocean Path, allowing campers to hear waves crashing against granite cliffs while staying under forest cover.
