We rented a cabin in early August of last year. The site was quiet, clean and comfortably. The owner was very kind, she made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. And the price was just right! The location was prefect, definitely the quiet side of the island. Still, it was close enough to a number of... More

This was a great getaway for our summer vacation. My family of 4 and our couple friends decided to camp here in early August. The whole island was just beautiful and we were more then happy to find this little gem nestled in the forest just a little drive past Southwest Harbor. Some great places to eat in the area... More

I went to MDI in Sept 2010 with my husband and 14 month old son. It was our first time in Maine. We went with the intention of finding a campsite once we arrived. We had done some research before we left so we had some ideas as to what campgrounds we might want to stay at. Quietside Campground was... More

We camped here in June 2009. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. I have a pick-up truck camper w/ a motorcycle trailer attached. The owners set me up in a site, with open sites to either side to store the MC trailer once unloaded. Early evenings are "buggy" in June, so our screenhouse tent was very useful in... More

We have stayed at Quietside in one of the log camping cabins and in a tentsite another year. Both times were great, (even though it rained). Clean, convenient bathroom and nice hot showers. tent sites are built up on platforms so tent doesn't sit in water if it rains. cabin had comfortable beds and a bookshelf stocked with good beach-...

My husband and I used this campsite on our recent vacation in Bar Harbor. On our way up there I called several times to let them know we would be late checking in - she never once returned our call to let us know all was well and that we could check in whenever and our key would be there,... More

My initial contact with Quietside was wonderful, they seemed incredibly accomodating and added an extra night onto our stay last minute. Unfortunately, it stormed all night and we woke up a bit soaked (which is Mother Nature's problem, not Quietside's). There wasn't any running water available during our first night/second day and no where to go the bathroom/shower (the toilets... More

I have stayed at Quietside numerous times---the owners are wonderful, extremely helpful, and the cabins are clean, comfortable, and quiet. My only regret is that I cannot get there as often as I used to since I moved from Boston, but I recommend Quietside all of the time to friends traveling to Acadia.... More

My son and I are returning for our third consecutive vistit to the quietside campground. Previously, we had only stayed at the Seawall Campground run by the National Park Service. Most likely, we will not be returning to Seawall due to increasing costs (daily fee + park entrance fee) and the lack of ammenities. We also had some problems with... More
