Are you operating a business that provides leisure or recreational services while in the park? If so, it is considered a commercial group and you are required to have a Commercial Use Authorization. A commercial group is defined as consisting of one or more persons traveling on an itinerary that has been packaged, priced, or sold for leisure or recreational purposes by an organization that realizes financial gain through the provisions of the service. Learn more on our "Do Business With Us" page.

Each non-US resident aged 16 and older visiting Acadia National Park must pay a $100 nonresident fee (in addition to the standard entrance fee), unless they are admitted with an Annual or America the Beautiful Pass. This includes nonresidents entering as part of a commercial tour group, commercial use authorization (CUA) group, or concessioner tour group.

The Acadia Annual Pass is valid only at Acadia and may be purchased online or in person. You do not need an additional entrance pass if you already have a federal lands pass. It is valid for 12 months from purchase month. This pass admits the pass holder and passengers in a non-commercial vehicle. In addition to park visitor centers and campgrounds, the Acadia Annual Pass is available at the Acadia Regional Chamber at Thompson Island, and at Bar Harbor, Ellsworth and Southwest Harbor chambers of commerce.
