Oh my God, now they even know the route I will be taking!!!!! Just kidding, you guys are great! Even directions! That is what I love about our tribe!
For the NH portion of your trip you might want to consider the Dolly Copp Campground. The wife and I spent a few days there in the summer of 2012 and thought it was very nice. Info for it is HERE
On RT 1 visit Perrys Nut House, http://www.perrysnuthouse.com/ all kinds of weird stuff. Check out Somes Sound View Campground http://www.ssvc.info/ great place to camp, kayak, fish, hike, etc. Agree the crowds in the N.Park make it a pain. waste more time in traffic and looking for a place to park but it is worth it once. There are 50+ miles of carriage roads, smooth gravel roads with low grades which are safe for biking, walking, horse back riding etc. they do not cross any roads going under or over them on beautiful stone bridges. Lobster boat tour out of Bar Harbor is worth it. In June be prepared for fog and wet weather.
Another bonus for Acadia is the free & frequently running shuttle bus system that covers the entire island. You can let your exploring take you anywhere and then just walk down to the loop road when you've had enough. Totally worth any crappy traffic required...
A fun thing to do around Bar Harbor that the kids will love is taking the mail boat out to the Cranberry Islands for the day and walking around-one has a large gravel beach that can be fun to walk on in the summer. Biking the carriage roads is another great thing. Have a great trip.
Went last summer to Acadia and stay at Somes Sound Campground. Great place to stay. Bass Harbour is also very nice but a bit of a drive to Bar Harbor. Personally, Im not a fan of KOA. Somes Sound has water front sites and is quiet
