Mt. Desert Campground - unfriendly, unorganized

>:( arrived at camp 8am - host gave me map she had marked up then told me of camps sites good for kids (after a 7 hour drive.) Views great, landed at site, unpacked then set up tent and were ready for an adventure when someone came over and told me we had to go to the front office, seems the woman was looking at the map from yesterday. Told us we had to break down tent and move, not wiling to work with us or help us at all, (guy at desk just sort of a jerk about it too) just a get up and move attitude when mistake was theirs. I packed up and moved to another campground. Unless the attitude changes don't bother staying here - you can get the same beautiful view at much friendlier campgrounds 5 minutes down the road.

    Sorry to here about your bad expeience. The only thing I could recommend in the future is to call in advance and make sure you have a hard copy of a site reservation when checking in.

    Again you might have already done something similar but a lot of campers don't do this and thats where alot of these kind of problems accure

    I also am sorry to hear of your bad experience at Mt Desert Campground, My husband and I have been going there for over thirty years, and have never had a problem, one time, we made our reservations late and ended up way back at the back of the campground under the pines and we got eaten alive by skeeters, but were still happy as heck to be there. We love it there!
    We always get a letter from them with all of our reservation info on it and take it with us when registering. That might be a good idea, next time.

    Okay, now I see that you got to the campground at 8 AM,, no wonder they weren't ready for you.. most places, usually check in is way later than that!
    at most motels, it is 2 PM
