Hello fellow campers, Husband and I and two dogs want to take a road trip to Acadia National park. Think we can manage a 2 week trip. Would love to hear from anyone that can point us to the best spots to camp along the way and once there. We do not mind cold camping. In fact would prefer that opposed to camping single file in a more commercial park. We are just now starting research on this trip and hope it's not too late to reserve some good spots Thanks in advance Jody & Steve Frisco & Hattie 176T 2012 Denali

We went to ME two summers ago, and spent the night on the road at a Wal-Mart.

| did you stay at wal-mart cause you couldn't find anywhere else or for convenience? haven't made reservations yet and don't really want to be stuck to a schedule but may have to in order to get a campsite. last thing I want is to spend half our time looking for the "perfect" site. |

we stayed here a couple years ago and found it nice. the park is nearby and spectacular. http://koa.com/campgrounds/bar-harbor-oceanside/ - http://koa.com/campgrounds/bar-harbor-oceanside/ We also stayed at Salisbury Beach State Park in Mass. crowded but the beach is great. http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/northeast/salb.htm - http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/northeast/salb.htm We also stayed at a nice campground outside Boston did some site seeing in the city and around the area. http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/northeast/harp.htm - http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/northeast/harp.htm We were using our Little Guy tear drop back in our pre-RPOD days.

My use of Walmart (or similar places like truck stops, Cabella's, etc), and of most people that stay there, is because its quick in-out from the highway, late arrival isn't a problem, and restocking is easy. In other words, I only do it when I'm on my way from point A to point B and can't do it in one day, so I can pull in to the closest one at 11 pm when I'm done and pull out at 8 am. With the bonus of not paying $30 for the 9 hour stay. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
