My Equine Inn was established in 2012 to welcome fellow horse enthusiasts and trail riders to enjoy the trails accessible from my property. While we do not offer rentals, we do offer guided trail rides to those bringing their own horse. Hip Camp seems to be a perfect way to expand! We're looking forward to welcoming campers who would love to have the opportunity to spend a bit of time getting to know our equine companions. Sorry, strictly BYOH (bring your own horse) for trail riding options. Very happy to help you plan your itinerary while you're here!

This was a sweet place to stay. Krystal was a wonderful host and I enjoyed spending time around her horses and pups. The place was very close to lots of great hiking and a short way to Lincolnville Beach. I would definitely recommend!

3 nights at Camping With Wolves, Acadia Area
This was my second stay at the Biker’s Bunkhouse, and it was just as awesome as the first. I spent three nights in the cozy barn tucked close to the wolves, and it was incredible drifting off to the sound of their howls at night. Heather is an attentive host who makes sure you have everything you need. I slept great, felt completely relaxed, and can’t wait to come back.

Sarah’s communication swift and clear. She accommodated a late ish in day request pleasantly. I appreciated the portable outhouse, dumpster, access to electricity even though I didn’t need it, water and fire pit.
Would definitely go back again.
Thanks!

Krystal was a wonderful host! We parked our camper trailer in a flat field, our kids got to run around, and we got to meet her horses. 10/10 would stay again. Thanks, Krystal!

We had a phenomenal time car camping under the stars here. Heather was a phenomenal host and saved (quite possibly MADE) our trip. A last minute booking led to one of our favorite memories together. We lit a fire and stargazed in her peaceful yard. Heather provided everything we needed to make the night unforgettable. Would definitely recommend you make staying here a priority. We can’t wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Camping With Wolves, Acadia Area
Heather’s land was beautiful. We had a great time. The atmosphere was perfect, close to everything, yet far enough to not feel like you’re in town. The accommodations were great, hospitality was exceptional, everyone was very personable and it was a fun experience! HIGHLY recommended place to visit!

What a great place! If you're very lucky (and dedicated), you might be able to book a place inside Acadia N.P. Or you could just stay here, be only 10 miles from Acadia and be surrounded by wolves (and other animals). Plus, Heather and BJ are absolutely lovely people. Highly recommend!

Heather was great and being surrounded by the animals was so cool! We stayed in the bikers bunkhouse for a few nights and it was nice. There was a clean portapotty, outdoor shower (not fully enclosed, bring bathing suits), and electricity in the cabin. We met several staff members and everyone was super nice, we did one of the tours as well and that was neat. We would recommend to those traveling in the area.

Over all a great camping trip. Heather was an amazing host and was very flexible and accommodating when my car broke down and we had to stay an extra day. I plan on going back next year but renting the cabin which was absolutely beautiful.
The firewood on site is expensive but worth it. The $4-5 stuff you see everywhere up there gets burned through in less than an hour. The large bag from here lasted all night and then some.

A rustic setting that was simple but tasteful. The porta potty right next to the bunkhouse was clean and convenient. Wheeling our motorcycles into the barn was also cool.

We had a wonderful experience at the Biker Bunkhouse. We were spoiled with our own private piece of the property behind two locked gates. The comfortable bed was lovely after a long day of exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. Heather was so accommodating with all my extra last minute requests, I couldn't thank her enough for making our travel stress-free. We loved seeing all the animals on the farm. We were encouraged to feed the baby goats and observe the other animals from a safe distance. What a cool experience to see wolves and hear them howl at night. This place is cool for tours and campers!

Dereck and Veronica’s campsite was the perfect landing pad for our stay in Maine! Beautiful campsites and a great location to many beautiful places and parks! We’re so thankful to have stayed with them, extremely kind and helpful people who made our stay that much better. Make sure to ask them about what they like to do, Acadia is beautiful for sure but their insight took us to some beautiful places without the crowds. Thanks yall!

I loved this experience the first time I visited and repeating it was just as good. The only problem I have is that I didn't have more time to stay for a longer duration! Thank you for all your hospitality!

3 nights at Camping With Wolves, Acadia Area
This place was exactly what we were looking for! It was a step up from camping, as the bunkhouse provided protection from the bugs, heat, and even had electricity to charge our phones. However, it was still rugged enough to feel like we were camping. The campsite even had a fire pit and they had wood for sale on the property. The hosts were very friendly and willing to talk to you about the animals. The place was very secure from both the animals and other people. The porta potty was very clean. The cabin room was actually nicer than the hotel we had stayed at the night before. The location was very nicely located between the park, bar harbor and town accommodations like gas or Walmart (in case you need to get food to cook). We would stay here again, and it was a great way to beat the crowds. Thank you for having us!!

Great location for exploring the Bar Harbor area without all the crowds and congestion.
Locked gate provides security and access was hassle free with use of your own key. Minimal personnel contact for check in and check out. BJ and Heather were wonderful hosts, we will be returning soon and hopefully often!
