Description: The Mount Desert Campground was conceived and created by Marie and Arnold Allen in 1958. The Allen's goal was to maintain a quiet, clean, tenting campground where families could come to relax, enjoy the natural beauty, and make memories. For the next 25 years, the Allens enjoyed a very loyal following of campers who returned here year after year. In early 1984, the Allens sold the campground to one of those long time campers of almost 20 years, the Craigheads. Now, almost 20 years later, we Craigheads strive to maintainthe very best campground we can- so the children of those long time campers from years past can, in turn, make new memories with their kids. We do not offer lots of frills and gimmicks but we do provide the quietest campground with the cleanest, most up to date facilities anywhere. We look forward to welcoming you to the Mount Desert Campground and we will do our utmost to make your stay a pleasant one.
