Difficult to be short about my highlights: hearing the loon at night certainly, waking up with the quarter moon over my head, seeing the progression in changing colors of the leaves,the views from Mount Cadillac, and Beech Wood trail, Jordan Pond and the Bubbles,so many things really.” - Christine from Montpelier, France, Sept 2021."We were so at peace when we got here we just spent the rest of the day hanging at the yurt enjoying the peace and quiet today we are heading to the ocean!"- Jody from New Hampshire, July 2021."We could not have found a more idyllic place, plus it was our first experience in a yurt. We found your notes about Acadia super helpful and the yurt was just so beautiful and cozy. Having a hot bath and a little fire in the wood stove after a day of biking the Carriage Roads and swimming at Sand Beach could not have been more perfect. So glad we were at the yurt to enjoy the area and Acadia. We had an incredible stay and are hoping to come back next summer."- Jenn & Neil, August 2020.

Four Acre Woods Campground

14 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents4 acres ¡ Deer Isle, ME
A beautiful island campground thickly forested with spruce, fir, and birch, Four Acre Woods was created over 60 years ago on Sunshine Island, Maine. Under the name Sunshine Campground, it hosted people from all over the world and delivered the spirit and essence of this ancient, abundant land that so many ancestors had roamed and celebrated before. It was open to the public through to the 90s, but then sat alone for 15 years, waiting for someone to revive it and bring it back to the world. Then one day, Caleb and Wolf met on a bus, heading south from Down East Maine, where they instantly connected and joined forces. They worked together redressing a home in Stonington for visitors to experience and became brothers while doing so. Eventually, the presence and opportunity of the campground caught their attention and after working out the technicalities, they worked together to bring this beautiful land and campground back to the people under its new life and name, Four Acre Woods. After opening on July 1st 2020, the land is finally back to sharing all of her beauty and spirit with the people. So, Welcome Home. Sincerely, - Four Acre Woods Caretakers

The best camping near Warren Island State Park guide

Overview

About

Ever dream of your own Robinson Crusoe-esque adventure (without the palm trees)? Head to Warren Island State Park, a boaters delight tucked away in the Penobscat Bay. Once you get to the serene island via your own unique flotation device, expect no phones, few people, and lots of jaw dropp’n beauty. The island is covered in a forest of spruce and some campsites feature two Adirondack style shelters. If you’re really looking to get primitive, you can cast a line for some fish, hike through the islands 70 acres, build a shelter beside a tree, or dig away in the sand for some tasty clams. Either way, this is the kind of experience you will remember.

Notable campgrounds

  • Secluded Campsites: Nestled amid spruce trees, these rustic sites offer a true sense of solitude.
  • Adirondack Shelters: Experience a unique stay in one of the three cozy shelters, perfect for a rustic retreat.
  • Waterfront Sites: Wake up to the sound of waves with campsites that boast direct access to the bay.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book Early: Reserve your spot as soon as possible through the State Park Reservation System online.

When to go

  • Carry-Out Trash Policy: Visitors must carry out all trash, helping to keep the island pristine.
  • Drinking Water: Fresh water is available at the pier and the island's center—conserve and use responsibly.
