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.

Noisy

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.

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.

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.

Scenic Glamping in Maine’s Natural Beauty

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!
