Cara was just a dream to communicate with. She accommodated us outside their pickup and drop off times, which we really appreciated because we had a long drive. We rented The Red Fox specifically because we wanted to use our son's car seat in the jump seats. It worked out so well! We went to Acadia National Park. Since we had an infant and two dogs, I'll detail our itinerary in case it helps anyone plan.We stayed at HTR Acadia, also known as Somes Sound View Campground, which I highly recommend. We got a campsite with electric and water, #3, right next to the pool. It was quiet and surrounded by trees and we truly felt like we were camping instead of at an RV park. I slept in a tent with my son in the travel crib, but we realized we could have put the crib on the fold out bed in the van and then we could have slept in the pop up. Maybe next time! Having a sink, electric and an enclosed space for our dogs really helped.On the first day in Acadia we went to the Hull Cove Visitor Center to get our passport stamped, then did the Bar Island Path. It was really pretty! We parked in a bank parking lot down the street from the hike for $3 an hour. I pulled straight through and perfectly fit in a parking spot. Luckily, the one next to me was empty when we left so I could get out very easy. Since we had the dogs, we ended up getting carry out from a restaurant in Bar Harbor and eating in the van. Then, we went to do the Great Head hike but RVs weren't allowed in the parking lot. So, we parked in the overlook parking lot about 1/2 mile from the hike and since it was only 2 miles the extra mile didn't sting so bad. What a great hike! That night we went to Beal's Lobster Pier for a lobster roll, yum! No trouble parking there. I took a cool shower behind the van which was so much fun.The next morning we had coffee and breakfast at the campsite and then went to hike Acadia Mountain and Man O' War trail. We parked on the side of the road along with many other cars with no issue. The hike was FUN but more challenging than we expected with two dogs and a baby in a carrier. There were parts where we needed to lift the dogs down a ledge. Then we had lunch at Radick's barbecue and stayed at the campsite for the afternoon. We pulled out at 8am the next morning.The van was easy to drive and operate but I definitely recommend watching the videos. Cara and Bryan were easy to deal with and made the Outdoorsy experience exactly what it should be. Thanks guys!
