Under Canvas Acadia
Quick Facts
Why Surry & the Acadia Region
Surry sits on the mainland side of the Acadia region, giving guests a quieter, more residential feel than the busier tourist center of Bar Harbor while still being a manageable drive from the park’s 48,000 acres of coastline and mountains. This part of the Acadia region is known for its calmer waters and genuine wildlife sightings — seals and loons are commonly spotted right from shore.
Under Canvas brings its well-known glamping brand to this oceanfront setting, giving guests wood-stove-heated tents with genuinely direct water views, a different flavor than their more famous desert and mountain locations.
