One campground I've stayed at about twenty times, year after year, is located off the beaten track on the Scoodic peninsula, just outside of that section of Acadia National Park. Ocean Wood campground in Birch Harbor is run by a great family headed up by Mike Brunton (207 963-7194). There are many types of camping available, each in it's own area, including RV, tenting, and wilderness tenting. One thing special about the campground is that all campers are to respect relative quiet, and those who don't can soon find themselves looking for another place to stay.
The wilderness tenting area is especially nice. By itself, somewhat elevated, just above the ocean's rocky shorefront. In that area it's especially peaceful and quiet...no radios or dogs allowed in this spot. Great views!
I've always stayed in one of three particular RV sites right on the ocean toward the other side of the cove. If you're looking for a bit of night life this isn't the place to come, but there are a few stores and several good restaurants within a couple of miles. The loop drive around the Scoodic section of Acadia is unforgetable.
I had somehow missed the above post when I wrote and posted this. Confirmation is great, though.
