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! <3 We hope to hear from you <3

Island Retreat

20. Island Retreat

48mi from Bangor · 1 site
Escape to a 5-acre, untouched coastal forest on the rugged shores of Mackerel Cove, Swan’s Island, Maine. This is true off-grid, back-to-nature camping on a private parcel of primordial woodland bordering a nature preserve — a rare chance to experience Maine the way it felt centuries ago. Your campsite sits among towering evergreens, moss-covered forest floor, and granite shoreline shaped by the Atlantic Ocean. There are no amenities — no power, no water, no structures. Just pure wilderness, ocean air, and the sound of waves and osprey overhead. Access is by boat (you can tie it off at the shore) or the Swan’s Island Ferry (Bass Harbor terminal only). Once on the island, the land offers total seclusion, ideal for tent camping, hammock camping. What Makes This Site Unique: Oceanfront land on Mackerel Cove with classic Downeast Maine views. 5 private acres of old-growth, natural forest. Adjacent to conserved land, so you are surrounded by nature, wildlife, and silence. Perfect for stargazing, photography, shoreline exploring, and retreat-style trips. True disconnect-from-the-world experience — no streetlights, no neighbors in sight.
