I seriously had this exact experience. A past partner took me on a camping trip for my birthday. We heard all this great stuff about Acadia and drove for two days to get there. We stopped to camp in the White mountains and then drive the rest of the way. We get there and it's just one giant tourist trap filled with KOAS. $60 for one night. We got angry, turned right back around, and spent the rest of the time in the White Mountains.

I love the White Mountains too, But the clamming and seafood there ain't much. It's hard to compare destinations of 6000' difference in altitude. We don't go to Acadia from April to November, either.

Ah, we went in August. I'm sure summer vacation didn't do us any favors with the experience.
