Birch Point Farm

3 sites ¡ Lodging, Tents4 acres ¡ Machiasport, ME
----------------------------------------------------------------- *2024 SUMMER SEASON INFO* - We have a hand-pump on our well that you can use for your fresh water supply 💦 - Our state-of-the-primitive-art out house is available for your use 🌙 tucked into the woods along the path to the overlook and bay beach. - At this time we do not have firewood available for sale. If you plan to make a fire in the fire pit (which is 100% welcome!) please bring wood and kindling with you 🔥 - The walk down to the flat rock beach is erosion-prone. Please be aware of your steps and tread lightly to help us keep the natural moss and ground cover in tact! 🌱 --------------------------------------------------------------- We welcome campers to the beautiful land where we live, a wooded 4 acres on "Birch Point" which juts into the lively salt-water Machias Bay. Your hosts, Lucy and Tyler, are homesteading musicians who love to host seasonal, wholesome, multi-generational parties. We're currently developing a biodynamic community farm and garden project, with our off-grid house still in construction. Mostly wooded with small clearings, this spot is a comfortable and spacious camping environment. There is a common fire pit in view of the ocean, glinting through the trees. Wild animals, like deer and foxes, and many bird species abound, filling the land with life and song. We’re so grateful to live on this piece of paradise, and wish to share the beauty and magic of the land with you! On the bold coast of Downeast Maine, we offer (a) tent sites in a grove of young maple trees, and (b) a canvas bell tent atop a wooden platform with a double-mattress. Both of these options are easily accessible from the parking area. A short saunter through the woods will bring you to an ocean front vista, overlooking a tidal bay fed by the Machias River. These are very refreshing (chilly!) and strong tidal waters. There are also beautiful (warmer) lakes and many hiking trails nearby, notably the Cutler Bold Coast Trail with epic seaside cliffs. Expect the area to be relatively buggy in summer months, and prepare to do head-to-toe tick checks! We’re about a 10 minute drive from the town of Machias where you can fill up on supply and provisioning needs. We're about 30 minutes from Lubec and 50 minutes from Eastport, two lovely seaside towns with art galleries, cafés, restaurants, and abundant coastal view points. We look forward to welcoming you and your close ones soon for a visit on Birch Point :-)

Nicco Laquidara Tremblay

2 sites ¡ Tents15 acres ¡ ME
Technically 2 lots in total. Combined there are 15 acres. The majority of the land is heavily wooded. There is a gravel driveway that is wide in the middle where an RV and cargo trailer are stationed. There are 2 entrances onto Steam Mill Rd which turns into a fantastic, popular jeep/ATV rd at the 2nd entrance. There is a small organic farm that operates on site. It is very and peaceful and quiet. There is a small chicken coop and fenced area for a dozen chickens and a vegetable/flower/herb garden. There is a porta-potty on site. The half acre pond is spring fed so it's great for taking a dip to cool off when it's hot. Star gazing is recommended on clear nights. The lightning bugs, owl hoots and frog chirps are a treat. A great spot for ATV enthusiasts to pitch a tent right at the trail that connects to nearby lakes and more trails. Make an adventure out of it.

Karen’s Campsite - Boyden Lake

2 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs1 acre ¡ Calais, ME
My great-grandfather had a camp on Boyden’s Lake. My Mom has spent summers at Boyden’s Lake since she was six years old. I grew up spending summers at Boyden’s Lake in the same camp my parents still own. As an adult, I bought a camp on the same lane as my parents’ camp. We call my camp “Karen’s Cabin” to differentiate between the two camps. I have been renting my cabin by the week in the summer. I also own the vacant lot next to my cabin lot. I would like to rent my vacant lot to people with RV’s. A friend of mine suggested that I rent it because more people are traveling in RV’s these days. It is a nice spot, a gravel lot near Boyden’s Lake with beach access. I am posting this on August 10th, 2021. It is available immediately. If all goes well and I rent the lot this year, hopefully, I can get feedback on amenities to add next year. Visit Boyden’s Lake, I hope you like it as much as my family does.

The best camping near Quoddy Head State Park guide

Overview

About

Quoddy Head State Park beckons adventurers to its rugged coastline, where trails wind through dense forests and past serene bogs. Here, the iconic West Quoddy Head Light stands sentinel, its red-and-white stripes a beacon to maritime history enthusiasts. Whether you're hiking, picnicking, or whale watching, the park's 532 acres of diverse terrain offer a wealth of exploration opportunities amid Maine's stunning Sunrise Coast Region.

When to go

The best time to visit Quoddy Head State Park is during the summer months when the weather is mild and the park's full beauty is on display. However, be mindful that fog can envelop the area, adding a mystical allure but also reducing visibility. Winter offers a stark, quiet beauty, but be prepared for cold temperatures and limited access due to snow.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your visit, as fog and storms can be common in the area.
  • Wear sturdy footwear for hiking the park's rocky and sometimes slippery trails.
  • Bring binoculars for bird watching and whale watching opportunities.
  • Remember that the lighthouse tower is closed, but the grounds and museum are open to visitors.
  • Be aware of park hours and plan your visit accordingly for the best experience.
