Great ski resort. I started coming to Bousquet about 6 or 7 years ago. More recently, they completely renovated the lodge and the new building is a HUGE upgrade. They take good care of it and it creates a nice atmosphere here. The mountain itself is smaller compared to other ski areas in New England, but this is still a great place for a more relaxed skiing/boarding experience. The runs are fun and have a few challenging spots. Unfortunately you end up doing the same runs over and over due to the limited number of trails, especially when there hasn't been much snowfall and some trails are closed off. But Bousquet is still a nice place if you just want to relax and cruise down the trails for a while. Prices are pretty reasonable for a ski resort actually. Weekdays are cheapest and go for around $50 or so for 4 hours, or I think just a few dollars more for 8 hours, so it's usually worth getting an 8 hour pass. Altogether this is a nice place - nothing groundbreaking, but you'll enjoy your visit.

This is probably the prettiest campground I've ever been to. The whole park is in a very quiet and well preserved pine forest by the coast and you really feel the peacefulness that you want when camping. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly, and the location is very close to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain, and other nice points of interest. I went tent camping here a few times and I loved every minute. There is a short walking trail that takes you directly from the camp to the coastline. At night the stars are absolutely incredible. Each camp site is good-sized and has a fire pit and a picnic table. The fire pits I've seen there also have a built-in metal grate that can be swung on or off the pit to place cooking pans, skillets, etc on.
The camp does have bathroom buildings at convenient points throughout, but no showers in the campground. For showers, there is an independent business just a minute or so up the road that has coin-operated shower facilities, and you can also buy firewood there.
