The site is clearly marked with a cedar sign.

One of the smaller sites at Acadia East Campground, The Beehive campsite is perfect for 1-4 people staying in a single tent.

Many of the guests that choose to stay at The Beehive at Acadia East Campground enjoy the proximity to the parking area and main road for the following reasons:

• Easily accessing their vehicle frequently if they have children;
• Short and easy walk for young or beginner campers;

• Bicyclists and kayakers needing to bring extra gear to their campsite;
• Those looking for or requiring a less-demanding hike to their campsite.

The Beehive campsite sits within a short walk (about 50 feet) to the restroom for quick and easy access.

The site features a 4-foot long picnic table as well as rock campfire pit. A filled 5-gallon bucket of campfire dousing water is also provided.
