Beware! You may end with a crying baby in the tent next to you and you will not be reimbursed for your sleepless night and will have to ask repeatedly to get a quiet tent. The food quality is poor (I found a hair in my shrimp tacos!) and overpriced (lobster prices were 50% higher then everywhere else we went). The food also lacked flavor and quality. The General Manager demeanor was stern, cold and inhospitable. She scared my daughter after speaking to her in a harsh tone. Also know that UC charges hidden fees for booking off site adventures with them. In general I found the value proposition not worth it.

Staff was wonderful. Thought we would have a water view but didn’t. Food was expensive and limited. No where to swim and there were insects in the tent. No electricity except a small power battery packs and the fans were 3 inches so when it’s hot so are the tents. Chairs are very low which were hard to use. Shower hard to use it was either scalding or cold.

Had a great time at Acadia Under Canvas- it was our first stay with Under Canvas and really enjoyed it. Great food options- little pricey but yummy! Staff was very friendly and informative. Will do it again!

We stayed for one night and had the most wonderful stay. The site is beautiful and the private beach was great to go hunting for crabs. The food is beautiful and the s’mores kits are a great touch. The bed is super comfy and the tents are spacious. The team were in hand to help us get our stuff from the car to the tent. All of the team were incredibly helpful and friendly. So happy to give recommendations for walks near by.

Fantastic stay! All the campground staff are very welcoming and professional, very smooth check in process. We had an unexpected flight delay and weren’t able to make our first night,

Once in a lifetime opportunity/experience. Unique camping with the amenities of a nice hotel.

We had the tent closest to the road leading to the communal tent. Instead of a peaceful weekend in nature, we were treated to the sounds of cars, fire alarms and barking dogs. The service, food and campus were all quite nice. Though it feels like in order to maximize profits, they stuck as many tents as they could next to each other. It probably would have been a lovely experience if they doubled the space between the tents and set a minimum distance from the road.

What a great property and a great experience - people were so nice there and the food was great. The tents were amazing. And the location is just beautiful. We loved it.

We had a very nice experience; the tents were delightful, the staff was extremely chipper and attentive, the grounds were interesting and easy to get around. Location was conveniently located next to downtown Ellsworth with several dining options, and a reasonably short 30 mins to Acadia trailheads. My only demerit is that they promised access to a guitar, so I intentionally didn't bring mine to pass time on extra rainy evenings, but they didn't actually have one available and every day just told me they couldn't find it.

The staffs are friendly and helpful. The tent is nice and clean. Beautiful site and breathtaking view.

This is our 3rd stay at an Under Canvas property and we are big fans! In fact, we already booked UC Yellowestone for May 2025 which is what makes this review a little dissappointing. The biggest takeaway, we stayed at UC Arcadia a week before the camp was closing for the season and the staff reflected that in their attitudes. While everyone was courteous and nice, it was apparent (through them even talking about how short-staffed they were and how some of them would not be returning after this season) that they had already moved on mentally. For example, when we stayed at UC Zion (best experience so far of all 3 properties) the staff advises on hiking routes for the kids, places to eat in town, how to be prepared for the day. At Aracadia, I inquired about a couple of hiking routes that I was considering and was tolde to Google how to get there. Also, you have to text them if you want your tent cleaned (that wasn't the case at Zion or Lake Powell) so our tent was dirty when we got back from a long day of hiking (mind you it's $579/night). We will stay in UC again but I think the main resolve is not to stay when they are a week from shuttting down as the staff is checked out mentally. BTW: Be ware of the kids tent option when it rains, the kids tent got completely soaked and we had to roll cots into the suite to make room for them.

Great unique experience!

Serenity and views! Food great too!

The entire staff was so lovely and accommodating; we had such a great time that we extended our trip an extra day. Jordan at the restaurant was awesome, front desk was excellent and helpful. Didn’t catch the name of the breakfast server but they we great too. Views and property lived up to expectations. Such a relaxing trip; don’t miss out on the stars at night!

Ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis in solch einem Zelt zu schlafen. Besonders der Abend war sehr gemütlich mit S‘mores am Lagerfeuer, leckerem Abendessen und all den tollen Brettspielen.

Everything was excellent!

Under Canvas Acadia is a Glamping facility with proximity to Acadia National Park. The tents are comfortable roomy and well appointed. The staff is knowledgeable friendly and very well versed in local trails for hiking. The restaurant and bar in the Lodge are small but very well staffed with something for everyone. The Lodge is situated on a gorgeous inlet in Surry, Maine with water views, and a large grassy lawn with plenty of chairs for relaxing with a view. They had interesting programs and activities like yoga available, live music many nights and unlimited s’mores and fire pits for gathering and enjoying, It is a family friendly facility and very nice for all ages. You really are immersed in nature. A wonderful experience for active travelers!

We loved our stay here. Excellent service, very friendly and accommodating staff. The tent was great, beautiful grounds. Good activities and entertainment and staff were helpful in planning hikes. Food was good.

Beautiful property and tents. Great setup for a quiet relaxing weekend a little closer to nature with beautiful views. There is a small restaurant on site with decent food but very overpriced. The main lobby tent has a lot of amenities, including free unlimited s’mores to pair with the nightly fire pits lit outside. Great place to hang outside with a view of the water. My only complaint is that the prices make this less accessible. I’d love to come back and stay longer, but the price just isn’t worth it.
