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!

Beautiful property and tents. Great setup for a quiet relaxing weekend a little closer to nature with beautiful views. There is a small restaurant on site with decent food but very overpriced. The main lobby tent has a lot of amenities, including free unlimited s’mores to pair with the nightly fire pits lit outside. Great place to hang outside with a view of the water. My only complaint is that the prices make this less accessible. I’d love to come back and stay longer, but the price just isn’t worth it.

Great, peaceful setting.

This place was lovely and the staff were incredibly friendly. The only thing I'd love to be able to do is to reserve specific tents -- for instance, we would have loved tent 1 since it's right near the water. Currently, it doesn't seem like the system allows for that. Other than that, it was a really special place. Thank you!
