POV: you found the perfect summer destination in Maine 🦞⚓

Welcome to Bar Harbor, Maine - where coastal views, fresh Maine lobster, charming downtown streets, harbor cruises, rocky shorelines, and easy access to Acadia National Park make this one of the best summer travel destinations in New England.

If you’re planning a Maine vacation, New England road trip, Bar Harbor getaway, or Acadia National Park trip, add Bar Harbor to your itinerary. Spend the morning exploring Acadia, grab fresh lobster for lunch, wander the waterfront, watch the boats come into the harbor, and finish the day along the coast. 🌊

There’s a reason Bar Harbor, Maine is one of the most popular places to visit in Maine — and summer here is something special.

Because RV life gives us something we could never get from a traditional vacation. 🏕️🚐

We get to wake up somewhere new, explore national parks, take spontaneous road trips, spend more time together, and turn ordinary days into adventures.

Is full-time RV living always easy? Nope. 😂
There are breakdowns, tight campsites, long travel days, campground problems, and plenty of moments where we wonder what we were thinking.

But the memories? Worth it.

For our family, RV life isn’t just about traveling. It’s about slowing down, exploring the country, experiencing new places, and creating memories together while we can.

We’re a full-time RV family traveling across the USA in our fifth wheel, visiting national parks, discovering family-friendly destinations, and sharing the REAL side of RV living along the way.

So when someone asks, “Why does your family love RV life so much?”

This is why. ❤️

Can you use regular furniture in an RV? The short answer is YES… but there’s a catch. 👀

After our RV side table broke on a travel day, we did what any full-time RV family would do… we put a cardboard box next to the couch, added a lamp, and called it furniture. 😂

Now, we’re finally upgrading to an actual piece of furniture for our RV living room.

And after more than a year of full-time RV living, here’s what we’ve learned: you absolutely CAN use regular household furniture in an RV or fifth wheel — just be prepared for it to take a beating on the road. 🚐💨

Between the constant movement, bumps, turns, and vibrations, furniture can shift, slide, scratch floors, and eventually start showing some serious wear.

Especially if it isn’t secured to the wall or floor.

So while we’re upgrading from luxury cardboard to actual furniture, we’re also figuring out the best way to secure it and make sure it can handle life on the road.

Would you put regular furniture in your RV? 👇

🫐 DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN PICK WILD BLUEBERRIES IN ACADIA NATIONAL PARK?!

If you’re planning an Acadia National Park vacation, Maine road trip, or Bar Harbor, Maine adventure this summer, add wild blueberry picking to your list of things to look for while hiking!

Maine is famous for its wild blueberries, and Acadia National Park is home to native lowbush blueberry plants that grow naturally along many of the park’s trails and open areas. 🫐🌲

The best time to find ripe wild blueberries in Maine is generally late July through August, making blueberry season one of the coolest little summer experiences to add to your Acadia National Park itinerary.

And YES — you can pick them in Acadia National Park! But there are rules:

🫐 Berries must be gathered by hand
🫐 For personal use only
🫐 Limit of ½ dry gallon per person per day
🫐 Don’t damage the plants while picking

Fun fact: Maine’s wild blueberry is a lowbush blueberry, and the blueberry is actually Maine’s state fruit! We even got lucky and found some highbush blueberries along the way.

So if you’re hiking in Acadia National Park, keep your eyes along the trail edges. You might just find a delicious little taste of Maine hiding in plain sight. 🫐

📌 SAVE THIS for your next Acadia National Park trip!

Have you ever picked wild blueberries in Maine?

POV: You discovered the BEST time to hike one of Acadia National Park’s busiest trails 🌅

During peak season, the middle of the day can mean packed parking lots, crowded trails, and a very different Acadia experience.

But show up after 5 PM? 👀

That’s when the crowds start thinning out, you can actually find a parking spot, and the golden-hour light hits the coastline, and suddenly one of Acadia’s most popular trails feels completely different.

And the views at sunset? 😍🌊

📍 Ocean Path — Acadia National Park, Maine

The trail is 2.2 miles one way / 4.4 miles round trip and connects some of Acadia’s most iconic coastal scenery, including Sand Beach, Thunder Hole and Otter Point. The first 0.7 miles to Thunder Hole is mostly gradual, with concrete and packed gravel, making that section a great option for families who want a scenic coastal walk without committing to a strenuous hike.

⚠️ Keep in mind: the trail gets rockier and more uneven beyond Thunder Hole, with stairs and steep ocean-side drop-offs, so keep little ones close and wear good shoes.

💡 Acadia tip: You don’t have to start at the recommended Sand Beach / Ocean Path Trailhead parking area (can be a busy parking lot) - you can continue to drive to parking areas along Park Loop Road to hop on the trail at other points - OR take the FREE shuttle to the start of the trailhead if you don’t have a car (or want a stress-free parking experience).

📌 Save this for your Acadia National Park itinerary and send it to someone planning a Maine trip!

Bar Harbor, Maine might just be one of the most beautiful coastal towns in the U.S. 🦞🌊

If you’re visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, add some time to explore downtown Bar Harbor beyond the hiking trails! We spent the day window shopping, checking out Maine-themed shops, grabbing food, and wandering along the waterfront.

And here’s an important tip if you’re visiting with a larger vehicle or RV: don’t try to drive and park downtown! 🚍 The FREE Island Explorer shuttle makes getting around Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park so much easier. You can hop off at the Village Green and explore the heart of downtown on foot.

From there, stroll along Main Street for restaurants, local shops, Maine souvenirs and all the little trinkets you’ll probably convince yourself you need. 😂 Then head toward Agamont Park for beautiful harbor views, or walk the Shore Path for one of the prettiest waterfront walks in Bar Harbor.

18 DAYS. 10 TRAVEL DAYS. 3,000+ MILES. And we finally made it to MAINE! 🚐💨

This was easily the fastest we’ve ever traveled in our full-time RV life. We were on a mission to get from the West to Maine so my husband could start his job in a national park, which meant some LONG 5–7 hour driving days and back-to-back travel days.

And if there’s one thing this trip taught us about RV travel, it’s this: if you have the time, slow down. 😅

Back-to-back RV travel days can be exhausting, especially when you’re towing a 42-foot Brinkley 3610 5th wheel and traveling with the whole family. We love the freedom of RV life, but there’s definitely a difference between enjoying the journey and rushing to the destination.

But after 18 days of road-tripping, new states, long driving days, campground stops, toll roads, and SO many miles… we made it safely to Maine! 🌲

Now we’re ready to explore Maine, New England, national parks, coastal towns, hiking trails, and everything this next chapter has to offer.

Planning a New England road trip or searching for bucket list adventures in the USA?

Add 📍Albacore Park in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to your itinerary!

Home to the USS Albacore Submarine Museum, this incredible attraction lets you step inside a real Cold War-era submarine and explore nearly every inch—from the control room and periscope to the crew’s bunks, galley, and yes... one of the tiniest bathrooms you’ll ever see. If you’ve ever thought your RV bathroom was small, this will definitely change your perspective!

Know before you go:

🚩 Small admission fee - There is a small entrance fee to explore the USS Albacore Submarine Museum.

🎒 Leave the bags behind - Bags with straps (including backpacks and purses) are not allowed inside the submarine, so plan to leave them in your vehicle.

🚶 Explore at your own pace - The tour is self-guided, allowing you to take your time and experience this one-of-a-kind New England attraction.

Day 12 of our 3,000-mile road trip! 🚐💨

Today we traveled from Wisconsin to Elkhart, Indiana, fueled up at Love’s, navigated our way through Chicago traffic, and officially entered the land of Eastern toll roads. 😅

One fun surprise? We drove right past the HARIBO candy factory! 🍬

By the time we rolled into our campground, we were too tired to unhook the truck, so we did the classic “can roll test.” Let’s just say… the can definitely rolled. 😂 We were very unlevel, but for one night, it’ll do!

Just another day of full-time RV life—where not every stop is perfect, but every mile brings a new adventure.
