There are so many options if you want to visit the

Down East Area of Maine!

Located on minutes away from camp Roosevelt, the Down East Area is perfiect for a trip prior to your arrival or after your stay. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park is only about 45 miles (about an hour drive) from the camp gate!

The magic of Bar Harbor… adventure, the rock-bound coast, soaring granite cliffs, and sweeping vistas from atop Cadillac Mountain, there is a special mystique to Bar Harbor. Nestled on the east side of Mt. Desert Island, surrounded by Acadia National Park, we have welcomed visitors for over a hundred years. And now we welcome you, too! Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park have a wide variety of offerings for visitors. There truly is something for everyone.

If you're considering a vacation in Maine or planning to travel New England, Bar Harbor should top your list of destinations, as it is truly one of the best places to visit in Maine and New England. Bar Harbor is a Maine/New England vacation spot beyond compare. And of course one of its many attractions is its close proximity to Acadia National Park – over 50 square miles of highly varied, beautiful terrain, hiking, and views.
