Tucked among spruce, fir, and birch on Sunshine Island in Deer Isle–Stonington, Four Acre Woods began more than 60 years ago as a small, family-run campground known as Sunshine Campground. Travelers from across the world visited this quiet island forest, drawn to its raw beauty and the peaceful energy that generations before us had loved and cared for.
The campground eventually closed in the 1990s and sat untouched for over 15 years—its trails, clearings, and old campsites slowly reclaimed by the woods. The land waited, quietly, for someone to bring it back to life.
In the years that followed, Caleb, a longtime local operator on the island, took interest in the property. Recognizing both its history and its potential to offer people a deeper experience of Deer Isle’s natural beauty, he began the process of carefully restoring and reopening the land.
Working season by season, Caleb rebuilt the sites, added new infrastructure, re-established utilities, and designed a campground that honors the land’s roots while offering a comfortable, modern, and nature-forward experience for today’s guests.
In July 2020, the property reopened under a new name: Four Acre Woods.
Today, it blends the spirit of the original Sunshine Campground with thoughtful stewardship, simple comforts, and a deep respect for the forest that surrounds it. Visitors once again gather under the birches and spruces—sharing campfires, slow mornings, quiet nights, and the timeless island calm that makes this land so special.
So—
Welcome Home.

The Caretakers of Four Acre Woods

Beautiful private place with a 360 view of the mountains! Completely impressed by the stone picnic table! The turn is a bit hidden so drive very slowly — we reached the top of the mountain and had to turn around because we went too far. I think the sign is a little hidden within the bushes. Otherwise, such a lovely stay! Would return!

Fantastic! Best camping in Maine, or maybe New England! Loved the location, the vibe, the community room, and the host. A must stay if you are in the area.
Oh, and be sure to take a kayak trip with Osprey Echo if you get the chance.

Such a great spot. It’s quite off the beaten path but worth it as the drive was beautiful and the property was great. Very well thought out and clean campground. Great bath house, dish washing station, and laundry. We only stayed a night and didn’t have a chance to enjoy all the amenities but the sauna, community cabin and outdoor game area with horseshoes and cornhole were a nice touch.

Well designed sites with options for all types of campers & glampers. Close to some coastal trails (walkable) & short drives to many others. Highly recommend this beautiful spot!

This is our most beloved spot. We love it because of its spectacular view over Maine and the absolute privacy! We have been coming for years and were never disappointed by the place or the host. Rod has always been very forthcoming, helpful and reliable. This time he even gave us a tour to the second spot that he plans to open up next year: another spot with all the privacy you could wish for and an amazing view.
If you are looking for a spot that gives you beauty and privacy but also the closeness to Camden and Rockport for getting some hustle and bustle in summer in Maine, you are at the perfect place.
We are looking forward to come back again. And we are planning to do that in October. With a camper, it doesn't matter when it gets a little cold at night, because the view is always amazing no matter the season.

Absolutely loved staying at Four Acre Woods Campground - 12/10 experience and will absolutely recommend and be back myself. We used the sauna both nights (such a special touch), made coffee/used the WiFi in the community cabin in the mornings to plan out our day, and really appreciated the clean and fully stocked shower/out house area. There was laundry available on site as well as an outdoor sink and any plates/bowls/utensils one could ever need available to borrow - they really have outfitted this place to be perfect for any level camper. Jeremy, Caleb and Willow were around most mornings if you had a quick question or needed anything but they’ve also made everything self serving which is appreciated. Trash and recycling was available within steps of any site and (other than one unfortunate loud neighbor one of our nights) the place quieted right down by 10 making for a great time to have a fire make s’mores and enjoy being outdoors. There was so much to explore in the gorgeous surrounding areas I feel like we just barely scraped the surface over three days. I cannot wait to book here again next summer and many more to come. Thank you for the hospitality & a great wonderful camping trip!!!
