Off the grid saltwater island camping, stunning trails, unreal night sky, fun fishing, cold water swimming, no bears, and great NPS Rangers. A unique piece of Acadia National Park off the beaten path. Duck Harbor Mountain Trail will test you. A spectacular place to recover in solitude after a Mt. Katahdin summit if you can get a reservation!

We had an incredible trip. The campground is wonderful. This was my first visit but I can't wait to come back again. Western Head Trail -> Cliff Trail -> Goat Trail -> Duck Harbor Mountain Trail back to Duck Harbor is an incredible hike. I think the Duck Harbor Mountain Trail section is the most fun I've ever had hiking.

Duck Harbor Campground on Isle au Haut is an incredible place to camp. My family of four spent 3 nights on the island and loved every second. Unfortunately our tent would not fit in the shelter, so we just put our pads and sleeping bags on the floor and slept 'under the stars'. We packed very lightly because we knew that we would need to carry our supplies. However, we watched people bring several wagons full of supplies to the island. The walk to the campsites is not that far. I would recommend a solar shower. After 3 nights I was desperate for a shower. The walk to water is long, bring more empty water containers than you think you will need. Our family made the trek into town. It was a 2hr+ walk (our daughters were 6 and 9 when we were there). A kind family from the island drove us back to the campground - our daughters were thrilled! The Maine Lobster Lady (food truck) is NOT open on Mondays. My husband was devastated when we completed our 2hr walk and he couldn't get a lobster roll. The small church is always open and is idyllic. We picked blueberries and raspberries, hiked as many trails as we could, made smores, and enjoyed every second of our time on Isle au Haut. I would encourage every camper to spend 3 nights on Isle au Haut. We would have stayed all summer if we could have!
