Where are some primitive camping sites close to Acadia National park in maine? Islands?

Question

I am trying to plan a two day camping trip that is close to Acadia National Park. But I do not want to see many people and want to get there by canoe.

Answer 1

"There is no backcountry camping in Acadia. Primitive camping is available at Duck Harbor Campground, located on Isle au Haut."

"Camp by the Surf
There's no better way to take advantage of all Acadia has to offer than camping, but backpacking is prohibited. The two major campgrounds are fairly Spartan sites as far as car camping goes, without hot water, showers, or utility hookups. Blackwoods Campground lies in a forested area due south of Cadillac Mountain and is just a short walk from the sea. Seawall Campground lies on the southwestern corner of the park and also lives up to its name, with sites right by the ocean. If you brought your canoe or kayak, try Duck Harbor Campground on Isle au Haut, and spend your days exploring the coastlines of Acadia's many islands. Reserve early, since these sites start to go by early spring."

I think you're supposed to take the ferry and put in once you get to the island, but you can only camp in the one spot.

Answer 2

Camping At Acadia National Park

Answer 3

Camping In Acadia

Answer 4

The closest thing to what you're looking for is Duck Harbor Campground, which is part of Acadia on Isle au Haut. But you would be foolish to try to get there by canoe, I think.
