So Ill start off with the good about Blackwoods campground. It was absolutely beautiful. The bath houses were also very nice and clean. The bad, we had to move our sprinter van three times over the course of three nights. We asked at the ranger Station if there was a site that would be empty for three nights in a row so we didnt have to move and were told that the campground was full.So it was a mystery when we woke up every morning to find many many unoccupied sites. I also dont understand why there are large boulders at the entrance to every campsite? They make it dangerous for folks who are trying to park their vehicles, walk around the campsite, get some thing out of their trunk etc. etc. another mystery is why they dont sell firewood at the campsite? When we arrive we were told to go back out on the road and find some that people were selling on the side of the road. Another mystery to me is why you would have folks cleaning the bathrooms at 7:30 AM when everyone in the campsite is trying to use them. It seems to me that a better time for cleaning would be the middle of the day when everyone is out and about in the park.

Loved Blackwoods Campground! I went and camped there the week after Labor Day 2021 - I was in A loop (A136). Very nice location - close enough to the facilities but far enough away to feel somewhat secluded especially since the park was only about 40% full. There is a nice walking path down to the shoreline that saw several people utilize in the morning to watch the sunrise (if youre not lucky enough to secure a Cadillac Mtn sunrise pass). Near the top of the A loop is the trailhead up to Cadillac Mtn (just over 4 miles to the summit) which is a very nice hike/walk with beautiful views and is not too difficult. Just an FYI, the campground DOES NOT have a store or any place to get firewood but you can obtain firewood outside the park from various vendors who set up along the road so be prepared. The night sky in Acadia is amazing - especially under a New Moon!! Wow. I would definitely come back here!

Honestly, the campsites here are on top of each other. The facilities were well-maintained, and its always nice to have the luxury of running water and flushing toiletsbut I wouldnt stay here again. We had 3 sites adjacent to ours and we could hear every word of their conversations, we were that close. Every night was crying babies, barking dogs, whining children, and drunk 20-somethings. I feel like an old curmudgeon, but I think Ill stick to backcountry camping from now on.
