Hermit Island Campground

Hermit Island Campground is a dark sky stay near Bar Harbor, set up for nights under some of the country's darkest skies. It's in a recognized dark-sky area. Skies here sit around Bortle class 3. Spend the evening watching the Milky Way rise, then settle into a comfortable base for the next day's exploring.
