Renting Camping Equipment near Acadia?

My boyfriend and i want to camp in Acadia for one night during our vacation, but don%26#39;t have any gear....anywhere we can rent, maybe in town?

Renting Camping Equipment near Acadia?

I asked around today and got nothing encouraging in terms of local rentals.

Should you score some equipment, you also need to consider the availability of campgrounds. Camping is forbidden in Acadia National Park except for two venues---Blackwoods, which virtually is by reservation only, and Seawall, on the southern end of the island, which is first come, first served. There also are private campgrounds: %26lt;www.acadiamagic.com%26gt; will take you to many of those.

Thanks. I am aware that we need to reserve space, either at Blackwoods or Seawall. We%26#39;re looking at camping on July 20th....so I will check into making a reservation in the next day or two. I have the ability to borrow someone%26#39;s gear, but they are not directly on %26#39;our way%26#39; to Acadia, so I was trying to decide what is easiest...sounds like it%26#39;s better to borrow gear, even if it requires an extra 30-45 minutes of driving...assuming we can reserve a spot. thanks

EMS in NY rents gear there may be more look in the phone book. I don%26#39;t know of any place in Acadia that rents.
