Effortlessly Plan Your Acadia Adventure!
It’s easy to go down the rabbit hole of reading blog after blog, watching Youtube videos, and researching park websites when planning your upcoming trip, especially if you’ve never visited Acadia before.
This can quickly lead to overwhelm and burnout, not to mention frustration from all the time spent. We get it!
But planning a trip to Acadia National Park doesn’t have to be this way.
Our Acadia National Park Guides will help you plan an EPIC trip in just minutes, by cutting through all the fluff and providing you with a detailed, easy-to-follow plan. Plus, we include valuable insider tips we’ve learned over the years as a full-time traveling family.
Our guides cover the important stuff like mapping out the best stops, driving tips, what to bring, where you can cut costs, the best kid-friendly places to eat, and more.
Why Trust Our Guides?
Our goal is to make the planning of your trip easier, less stressful, and more affordable!
We’re Craig and Bryanna Royal, authors of Crazy Family Adventure, a family travel blog. We spent 8 awesome years on the road, traveling full-time with our 4 kids. We understand first-hand what goes into planning a trip, whether you’re bringing the family along or traveling solo.
That’s why we created these helpful guides. We absolutely LOVE visiting national parks, and Acadia was definitely a highlight of our travels. We think everyone deserves to experience this amazing place without the stress and hours of planning, and without the expensive costs of paying for a guided tour or an all-inclusive package.

“My worst fear? Spending a ton of time and money heading to one of our “bucket list” destinations… only to find out afterward that we missed that special hike, that must-see view, that amazing pull off.
With the CFA guides, I don’t worry. In fact… I don’t even have to pre-plan. The hikes they suggested were magnificent… plus restaurants, maps, and the step-by-step guidance… worth every penny (and then some!)“

IMPORTANT NOTES
You can buy a 7-day park pass for your vehicle for $30. This is separate from the vehicle registration pass you will need for the Cadillac Summit road (which depends on the time of year you visit). If you plan on visiting any other National Parks within the year it is worth it to get the $80 Annual National Park Pass.
