LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Forest Ridge Campground is a small, family owned and operated small business. We are not owned by a MEGA, out of state corporation. We are located roughly 14 miles from the National Park Entrance, and we are centrally located to MANY, UNIQUE coastal Maine communities (Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Bass Harbor, Seal Harbor, Gouldsboro, Schoodic Point, Blue Hill, Surry, Deer Isle, Stonington, Castine, Bucksport, Belfast, Camden, Rockland and MANY more! — ALL accessible within an hours drive. Why spend all your time on Mount Desert Island? Why pay all the high prices? and most of all, why deal with the heavy traffic on the island when there are so many other communities to explore!

Acadia National Park

Bring a chair, a picnic lunch and settle in for an afternoon of the true beauty that Acadia National Park can offer. This is a photo from Little Hunter’s Beach.

SCHOODIC POINT

Even when there is a hurricane off the Carolina coast, the seas at Schoodic can be very forceful and rough

And here are a couple of winter photos taken at Forest Ridge after an ice storm and after a fresh snow storm. We thought we would share these with you because it can can pretty cold in Maine in January !
