This privately-owned campground is located just outside Acadia National Park, near the town of Bar Harbor. It offers a range of amenities, including full hookups for RVs, tent sites, and cabin rentals.  Don’t forget to reward dad with a freshly-steamed Maine “lobstah” or lobster roll. Head to Thurston’s Lobster Pound on Mt. Desert Island or Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound (right before the bridge that takes you to MDI). They do not disappoint.

Things To Note:

Don’t stress about including all of the extraneous activities and add-ons before you go.  Take the time to plan out exactly what you want to do and prepare a list of everything you’ll need before you forget. Carry some dry food, water bottles, sodas, spare clothes, jackets, indoor games, and other items you may require for your journey.

If you intend to use air conditioning when traveling to hot, humid places, you should consider installing a soft starter on your AC unit. A Soft Starter is an innovative technology that reduces initial power usage by up to 75% and addresses the A/C startup problems.  If you or your family members are light sleepers, the thud of the A/C compressor starting up may quickly wake you up, resulting in a restless night’s sleep. Soft Start RV/AC eliminates the thump and trailer wobble. The soft start kits are simple to install and may be completed in less than an hour without the assistance of a professional.

This Father’s Day, break away from the ordinary and embark on an epic RV adventure with your dad. These six RV parks promise unforgettable experiences and cherished moments. So, provision your RV, plan your route, and get ready for a Father’s Day adventure that will strengthen your bond and create memories to last a lifetime.
