Being early May, we didn't need reservations to travel this amazing road, nor was the loop especially crowded; meaning one could travel slowly and/or pullover easily without impeding others. This is … Full review by RICART75

Correct. Actually, you turn off of Park Loop Road onto Cadillac Summit Road if you want to go to the top of Cadillac Mtn. Park Loop Road has one section that is 2 lanes one way; this is near the super busy Ocean side. Beware that people park in the right lane. In some places it is allowed, in other places signage states it's not allowed. Another section of Park Loop Road is just a normal 2 land road (two directions). Additionally, there are a couple roads you can use to cut through or shorten your drive to get back to town. We used Hwy 3 and Otter Cliff Rd numerous times, both accessible from Park Loop Road.

I am not familiar with the campgrounds in the park because we only decided to go to Acadia with 2-3 weeks notice and availability was super limited. We ended up staying at the Bar Harbor campground right near the entrance to the park. This place doesn't take reservations so you just show up when people are leaving in the am and get a site. This may not have been as visually appealing as some of the park campgrounds may have been, but we still got to see all the great sights anyway. If you have time to plan or are going during a less busy period perhaps someone else can point you in the right direction for park campgrounds. If limited availability becomes a concern, definitely check out Bar Harbor campground.

Here's what the website says: Operating Hours/Seasons. Acadia National Park is open all year long. ... The Park Visitor Center, museums, picnic areas, Seawall Campground, and many of the roads close during the winter. The road to the summit of Cadillac Mountain, as well as most of the Park Loop Road, closes from December 1 through April 14. So, it looks like November is ok. Randall
How much time do you need to do the loop with stops?
A:
3-4 hours is a good number, depending of course on any short trips off road or meeting fun and interesting folks! There are seasonal times in the Summer where the traffic gets tough …
3-4 hours is a good number, depending of course on any short trips off road or meeting fun and interesting folks! There are seasonal times in the Summer where the traffic gets tough and May or September is always a target for my travels.
