12 Ridiculous One-Star Reviews of Acadia National Park in Maine

As the summer of 2025 comes to a close, it will be another year of the record books when it comes to visitors at Acadia National Park.

For many, a trip to Maine has to include a visit to the picturesque locale in the downeast portion of the state. There's no surprise that Acadia National Park has become one of the top tourist attractions in the entire New England region.

Because the popularity of Acadia has swelled, access to the national park has become a little bit trickier over the years. There's only so much space and only so many guests that can comfortably visit the grounds each day.

With Acadia National Park's hiking trails being nationally recognized and the reservation system making potential visitors even more hyped to get through the gate, there will inevitably be some letdown for visitors to the park.

That disappointment has led many people to do what is commonplace in the modern era of social media. Find a place to digitally scream into the void. Or as some people call it, leave a bad review.

Make no mistake, the majority of the reviews for Acadia National Park on places like Google, TripAdvisor and beyond are positive. People repeatedly talk about the breathtaking views, the feel of nature and the once-in-a-lifetime sunrises.

Between Google and TripAdvisor alone, there have been more than 20,000 reviews left for Acadia National Park. Most of those have been four or five stars.

But not everyone shared in the positive energy. Here is a handful of one-star reviews of Acadia National Park that really stuck out.
