Sunrise Point on Molasses Pond
6. Sunrise Point on Molasses Pond
32mi from Old Town · 1 site · Tent, RV
Sunrise Point on Molasses Pond (Eastbrook, Maine) is a private, waterfront Hipcamp that feels like your own little island—quiet woods, clean water, big sky, and a dock that faces due east for the kind of sunrise you’ll actually wake up for.
You’ll have exclusive use of the property: 3 secluded acres and 300’ of shoreline on Molasses Pond, with a dock, swim float, tiki bar hangout, fire barrel, picnic tables, and easy paths through the woods to multiple tenting spots. Days here are simple in the best way: swim, paddle, fish, read in a camp chair, watch eagles overhead, pick wild blueberries in July/August, and end the night around the fire under a sky full of stars.
Camping & rigs: best suited for groups of 20 or less. Set up to 5 tents total, with one dedicated 10' x 20' tent platform. Small off-grid RV/vans under 23’ are welcome. We cannot accommodate large drive-in RVs or tow-behinds.
Rustic comforts (elevated): a glamorous “glam-latrine” outhouse, plus an open-air outdoor shower and sink supplied with pond water and warmed by solar-heated hot water.
Good to know before you pack: this is an intentionally unplugged stay—no Wi-Fi and limited cell service (usually 2 bars on the dock). Bring your own linens/bedding/towels, plus any extra paper goods and camping supplies you like. Bug spray recommended.
Gear & fun: kayaks + an inflatable SUP are available; Molasses Pond is a 1,252-acre recreation-friendly pond with great swimming and fishing (salmon, brown trout, perch, bass). Jet skis are permitted on the pond. Waterfront activities are at your own risk; supervise children at all times.
Pets: dogs are welcome ($50 per pet per visit). Please keep pets under control and pick up after them.
Check-in 4:00 PM | Check-out 11:00 AM | Minimum stay: 3 nights
House rules: no smoking indoors; outdoor smoking only if butts are fully disposed of. Leave the property broom-swept. Bag all trash and place it in the receptacles near the driveway/parking area. No cutting or damaging trees/shrubs. Fires only in the provided fire barrel, never unattended, and fully extinguished.

The Point is located in Gouldsboro, in Downeast Maine on the Schoodic Peninsula near the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park on occupied Wabanaki land.
The point is our home, offered to guests as a place for seekers of peace and solace to gain a better relationship and appreciation with nature in a world that has forgotten the importance and connection we all have with the planet that sustains us.
A priority here for me is keeping this land pristine and respected. Our mission to save and protect our natural environment and keep it natural and wild can only be accomplished with the active mindfulness of you. We aim to prove that hipcamp can be a magical experience for private landowners and campers alike, to provide a means of temporal community and beneficial alternative to traditional campgrounds; one that does not degrade the environment and break the peace that small towns still contain.
Please be mindful of the trash you generate and mindful of the noise you are making— we aim to provide seekers of peace a *quiet* time in nature.
Together we are here to be an example to others of what mindful camping can look like in this changing world. Thanks for caring to come, see, explore, learn
and being apart of the solution!

Stuart Little’s dream house is an off-grid cabin on the edge of the woods, in the backyard of our home. The cabin is perfect for people who are camping, but want a little more accommodation. It has two futons that can turn into double beds, table and chairs, small porch, outhouse, and a picnic bench. Bring your sleeping bag and camp stove, and you are all set! There are also places to pitch a tent, if desired.
We are just a mile down the road from where EB White lived, the setting of Stuart Little's dream house (our yard) gives a glimpse into some real Maine living: Boats and boat trailers, a rambling garden, and often a free pile at the end of the driveway.
*Note: There is no heat.
*Note: There is no kitchen. camp stove + fuel can be rented for $5/night
*Note: Please bring a sleeping bag. Otherwise, bedding/linens can be rented at $10/bed.
*Hip Camp likes to say we are less than an hour to Acadia National Park, but I feel that is misleading. While we are close-ish, it usually takes over an hour to get to the main visitors center, Hulls Cove. It's usually about 1.5 hours to get to any of the trails/beaches.

About 45 mins down the coast from Acadia National Park and 5 mins from the quaint coastal town of Blue Hill, you'll find this ethereal forest and little black house tucked among moss and balsam firs.
In May, you'll hear the peeper frogs calling through the night and bird songs waking you in the morning. In June, you'll see fields of purple lupine flowers around the Peninsula and watch fireflies blink as the day fades dusk. In July, you can pick strawberries at a nearby farm and see the Milky Way twinkling through the pines at night. In August, you'll find wild blueberries along nearly every trail and enjoy long sunny days, perfect for picnics on the beach. In September, you'll feel a crisp in the air and see the leaves start to change, making for cozy nights around the campfire while you listen to the barred owls hoot.

Stuart Little’s dream house is an off-grid cabin on the edge of the woods, in the backyard of our home. The cabin is perfect for people who are camping, but want a little more accommodation. It has two futons that can turn into double beds, table and chairs, small porch, outhouse, and a picnic bench. Bring your sleeping bag and camp stove, and you are all set! There are also places to pitch a tent, if desired.
We are just a mile down the road from where EB White lived, the setting of Stuart Little's dream house (our yard) gives a glimpse into some real Maine living: Boats and boat trailers, a rambling garden, and often a free pile at the end of the driveway.
*Note: There is no heat.
*Note: There is no kitchen. camp stove + fuel can be rented for $5/night
*Note: Please bring a sleeping bag. Otherwise, bedding/linens can be rented at $10/bed.
*Hip Camp likes to say we are less than an hour to Acadia National Park, but I feel that is misleading. While we are close-ish, it usually takes over an hour to get to the main visitors center, Hulls Cove. It's usually about 1.5 hours to get to any of the trails/beaches.

Mossy Forest by the Coast

35mi from Old Town · 1 site
About 45 mins down the coast from Acadia National Park and 5 mins from the quaint coastal town of Blue Hill, you'll find this ethereal forest and little black house tucked among moss and balsam firs.
In May, you'll hear the peeper frogs calling through the night and bird songs waking you in the morning. In June, you'll see fields of purple lupine flowers around the Peninsula and watch fireflies blink as the day fades dusk. In July, you can pick strawberries at a nearby farm and see the Milky Way twinkling through the pines at night. In August, you'll find wild blueberries along nearly every trail and enjoy long sunny days, perfect for picnics on the beach. In September, you'll feel a crisp in the air and see the leaves start to change, making for cozy nights around the campfire while you listen to the barred owls hoot.

Ellie's RV Spot is a single RV site designed for use by any length Class A thru C motorized or towable style recreational vehicles including conversion vans/off grid vehicles. 50 or 30 amp electric, water, sewer and screaming fast wifi are included.
All RV's including off grid and pop-ups must set up on GRAVEL PAD only. This is to prevent damage to the private septic system. Your camper RV, off grid van or pop up MUST have an on board toilet, composting or otherwise, no exceptions. **Tenting is not an option on this site, sorry.** The RV's pictured belong to past guests and are not available for rent.
A sister cabin shares the half acre site and is separated by a 16 foot long 9 foot high fence. This cabin is booked up 95 percent for the season.
Ellie's location allows easy access to both the Mount Desert Island section of Acadia and the Schoodic Peninsula section.
Well behaved dogs/pets are allowed on the site for $7 per pet per night. If you would like to bring a pet, please add a pet fee which is listed as an extra during the booking process. All pets on site must be leashed at all times, no exceptions.
Campfires are allowed on this site when winds are under 10 mph. Check local weather first. We continue to provide free, locally grown, organic firewood in order to combat inflation and help you stretch your vacation dollar.
While Ellie's doesn't have direct water access, there are many shoreline points of access close by. Beaches and water access are everywhere. Wide open space does exist. Come explore the Maine coast.
Commuter traffic can be seen and heard from Ellie's RV spot. State route 204 funnels park visitors to Acadia and the MDI area. In 2024 nearly 4 million people visited the Acadia area. Slow down, plan ahead and be patient.
2025 update: You can purchase your park pass online and print it before you arrive. Reservations for Cadillac Mountain are now required due to overcrowding.
We have one security camera located on the main fence. This is for your protection as well as ours.
For winter stays please send a request before booking. We have 30 or 50 amp electric and sewer only from Nov 1 ~ April 30. Water, wifi and trash removal are suspended for the winter. Snow might prevent access during some weeks. Request first!

2 nights at Riverview cabin
This was a great cabin! Had everything we needed and kept us nice and warm through the night. Jamin was super helpful in showing us how to get to the cabin when we arrived in the dark. Did some fishing and was perfect for our two nights. We were there in mid November and were so grateful he kept the cabin running for us.

Great spot! Lots of details thought of with the firepit grill and utensils including marshmallow roasting sticks. Loved the counter and mushroom stools! Wouldn’t feel comfortable in windy weather just due to the shallow rooted trees- but it’s a beautiful spot! Reminded me of camping on the Olympic peninsula.

Weekend Trip to 100 Mile Wilderness Cabin
This was our second visit to Paul's cabin and did not disappoint again. Paul made sure there was enough water and wood to last our stay. There is now a flushing toilet outside which was a nice treat. There are many fantastic walking trails close by including the Appalachian Trail. This time round we spent time at North Pond and Juniper Knee Pond and hiked 4ish hour to Little Wilson Falls (there and back and time at the falls).

I had a nice stay here. The privy was clean and it's only 30-40 minute drive from Bangor. The sites are on a slight grade of a hill but it isn't that bad and they each have a fire ring and picnic table with a trash can.

We enjoyed the beach, and I would highly consider coming back at a warmer time. The campsite we stayed at wasn’t as big as it looked in photos, so there was some maneuvering near the old house to fit our two tiny trailers.
It was an hour to the main Acadia entrance, but so beautiful out there. If camping in tick season, bring spray and check your dogs. We were covered.
Beach was 100/10.

We had the best time at this site. The views were absolutely incredible. We had better sunset views from the campsite than we even would in Acadia. Having the water, electric plug, and bathroom on site was so helpful, too. We ended up tent camping, but the little house was such an added perk, too for storage, spending time together, etc. I can’t recommend this spot enough!!

This stop was perfect! Alice did a great job of giving her guests privacy on their campsite and also a community feel around the fire. She stopped by and was so kind and recommended great spots for photography. Myself and the other guests there agreed it was our favorite Hipcamp spot yet. Thank you for everything!

My husband and I were visiting Acadia and spent the night at the rabbit run spot. There was firewood and water set out for us and we were given clear instructions on how to get there. Best of all: a bathroom with a toilet and running water!! You’ll be greeted in the morning by chickens, ducks, and their dog Sadie if you’re lucky. If we’re ever back in the area we’ll 100% be staying here again. Thank you Mike and Cheryl!
