Canvas Acadia
Nature-forward glamping with genuine comfort. Think king beds, wood-burning stoves, and en-suite bathrooms inside canvas tents — not a hotel trying to feel outdoorsy, but outdoor living with real amenities. No TVs, no WiFi, and that's the whole point.
Book the Cadillac Mountain Suite if you have a group — it's the only configuration with a private firepit and direct water views
Why It Matters
Named a 'Top 20 Resort in the U.S. – Northeast' and 'Top Resorts in New England' by Condé Nast Traveler multiple years running. Part of the World of Hyatt ecosystem via Mr & Mrs Smith, and a Michelin Guide selection. It's one of the only lodging options in the Acadia area that puts guests directly on the Maine coast with this level of comfort.
Under Canvas Acadia is a safari-style glamping camp on 100 acres of Maine waterfront, with over 1,200 feet of coastline. It's run by Under Canvas, a Montana-based operator that plants upscale tented camps near major national parks across the U.S. The park itself is about 35 minutes away by car, but the camp is its own draw — water views, nightly campfires, and zero WiFi.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Cadillac Mountain Suite
The flagship configuration. A full Suite Tent connected by an expansive private deck to a Deluxe tent with 3 twin beds — totaling 2 private bathrooms and sleeping up to 7 people. Premium location with direct water views and a private firepit on the deck. The only tent type with its own firepit. Book early; there aren't many.
King + Queen Sofa Bed + 3 TwinsDeluxe Tent
The entry-level tent, and it's genuinely comfortable. King bed with plush linens, private deck with lounge chairs, wood-burning stove with complimentary firewood, and a private en-suite bathroom with shower, sink, and flushing toilet. Sleeps up to 2 adults, plus 1 child on a camp cot if needed.
KingDeluxe with Kids Tent
A Deluxe Tent for the adults with a separate, adjacent canvas tent for the kids. The kids' tent has two twin beds — close enough for comfort, far enough for everyone to sleep. Designed for families of 4. Adults get the full private bathroom; kids get their own space.
King (adults) + 2 Twins (kids)Stargazer Tent
Everything in the Deluxe, plus a sky-viewing window cut into the ceiling directly above the king bed. You fall asleep looking at the stars and wake up to daylight filtering through the canopy. The standout tent for couples — worth the premium if you care even a little about night skies.
KingStargazer with Kids Tent
The Stargazer sky-viewing window experience, paired with an adjacent kids tent with two twin beds. Best of both worlds for families who want the signature stargazing feature without everyone crammed into one tent.
King (adults) + 2 Twins (kids)Suite Tent
A larger footprint with a dedicated lounge area added to the Deluxe layout. The lounge has a leather queen sofa-bed, making it workable for families of up to 4. Still one private bathroom, private deck, and the same wood-burning stove setup.
King + Queen Sofa BedSuite with Kids Tent
The Suite layout — king bedroom wing plus leather queen sofa-bed lounge — combined with an adjacent kids tent. Sleeps up to 4 adults and 2 kids. Solid choice for multigenerational travel or groups wanting a communal lounge area.
