Great campsite, further from Acadias main draws but felt nice to retire a little aways from the bustle of the park. I stayed at 2 campsites, A09 was a little close to the bathroom, expect to be able to hear people going in and out. But it was really not a bother. Then I stayed at B01 which was quiet and nice.

Not a great campsite. We did not enjoy our experience at all for the following reasons. You should consider those things before making a reservation for A09.??Pros: ?-5 minutes walk from the water. Amazing sunsets.
-Served its purpose as a campsite.?-That’s it
Cons:
-The parking.? - We though it would be a private parking. Turns out because we were close to the restroom people would park there. We thought about complaining, but soon realized some (not all) workers would use it as well.
- People would cut through our parking to use the restroom. Even in two feet away there was an other path for the restroom. And it was indicated on the ground that it was a campsite parking, not a path to the restroom.
- « expect foot traffic ». More like expect to hear people during the night taking ( 2 am). Foot traffic was fine, except for people cutting through our literal campsite ( at least 15 times per day).
-Could make eye contact with the men using the urinal when they would slightly turn their head. Awkward. Would have never booked knowing that. Also feels like an invasion of privacy.? - Someone would smoke next to the men restroom, also directly next to our campsite. It smelled like cigarettes. Gross.
-Garbage can and dish water disposal next to our car. Was not indicated in the description.
-Small camping pad. Could not have a hammock. We were asked to remove them. The worker kindly explained why. They have a valid reason. But you should know you can not hang anything at A09. But can at some other sites.
In the end, we were really annoyed and ready to go home after two days. We were there for 6 days. Never again. Hoped this helped you NOT chose A09.
