1 night at Graham Cracker Cabin and Campsites

We enjoyed the fun rustic cabin and the firepit near the stream. Very peaceful. Owners were responsive to questions.

Weekend Trip to Sublime Coastal Respite

Great private spot tucked away on the owners property. Easy back in spot with fruit trees and pines all around. Cleanly mowed grass and close to Castine!

Weekend Trip to The Lonely Loon

We loved camping in this spot! Very quiet and right on the pond. Took the kayaks out and had a great time hanging out in the chairs by the campfire. Ginger was quick to respond and gave us a tour of her beautiful property. Would definitely recommend this place!

1 night at True Serendipity Homestead

Came early in the season and we were the only people there. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer host and a more perfect place to stay.

Weekend Trip to The Howling Woods

This was a beautiful private spot in the dense woods of Maine. We stayed at the further site back in the woods and had plenty of privacy. It was my wife’s first time camping and this place left a great impression on her.

Weekend Trip to Stuart Little’s Forest Dreamhouse

Super cozy spot! Not too far from Acadia, would visit again.

Weekend Trip to Hillside Gateway to Acadia/Schoodic

very cute spot, it was perfect for our rainy weekend!

2 nights at The Lonely Loon

Ginger was a great host! she was very accommodating despite our (extremely) late arrival (damned traffic) and still showed us around late. She answered all questions we had and was super sweet. Her property is beautiful, such a quaint little spot!

1 night at True Serendipity Homestead

We were delighted with our stay. The place is beautiful from every angle. There are activities like kayaking, fishing, hiking, and Mike's charming stories :) We also enjoyed some delicious fresh eggs.

2 nights at Camping With Wolves, Acadia Area

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!

this spot was beautiful! a stunning sunset and a comfortable, peaceful place to set up tents, roast s’mores, and chill by the ocean. thank you!

3 nights at The Point

Don’t hesitate—just book it. One of the coolest campsites we’ve ever encountered. Amazing privacy, views, and nature all around to explore! Easy to find and better to camp.

1 night at True Serendipity Homestead

Such a beautiful place, all of the ducks and chickens make you feel so safe, and it is as very well kept. The surfaces for laying tents are very comfortable as well. My only complaint is not the fault of the lovely hosts, but instead the unfortunate location of a rail/lumberyard on the other side of the forest which was annoyingly loud. Still well worth the stay.

1 night at True Serendipity Homestead

This is such a lovely and quite place. The stargazing was amazing, the little pond had us falling asleep to the sound of frogs. It had fresh eggs, a natural spring and a clean bathroom!! What more can you ask for:)

Beautiful site in the woods. Nice walking trails and easy access to the beach. Would love to return if we ever come back to Maine!

Weekend Trip to The Lonely Loon

Awesome area. Beautiful quiet location right on the pond. Host was extremely accommodating and had everything we could want. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Maine Wild Blueberry Bliss

The site was easy to get to, and the view was amazing! We camped for two nights, and saw a great sunset.

1 night at Camping With Wolves, Acadia Area

Awesome. Easy in and easy out. I will be returning.

1 night at Cabin Creek Farm

Gary was so generous and kind, the site was beautiful and we had a wonderful time exploring the different beaches on the island. Thank you for a lovely stay, hope to return soon!

I loved camping at Lily's. Waking up to the birds and the sound of the water was wonderful. The serenity surrounding the rustic camp is perfect. It is an short walk to the camp site so bringing your gear, water and supplies was easy to do in multiple trips. Host gives you your privacy; which i feel is a bonus , but is easily attentive if one needs. I am looking forward to returning to this special place.

The Maine Land

1 site · Tent70 acres · Sullivan, ME

Rustic tent site with fire pit, firewood, picnic table, and outhouse. It is a very secluded and quiet site surrounded by birches, spruce, a young maple stand, and some cute fledgling pines. There's open space to the south with sight-lines toward Frenchmans and Flanders Bay. To the north, east, and west, there's about 70 acres of tree-growth with some old logging trails to casually bushwhack if you feel it. There's a glacial erractic (big big boulder) not terribly far from the site. Please note that it is possible to get lost if you go deep (though unlikely). There is proper hiking throughout the area, not least of which is Acadia National Park and Lamoine State Park. But there are hikes even closer. Long Ledges is just a couple miles up the road (off Punkinville, right by the high school). And these trails are ambitious, even connect up all the way to Schoodic Mountain, which in addition to being a great hike on its own, is surrounded by Donnell Pond and Tunk Lake. Further trails throughout and amongst the State Preserve are great. Swim, fish (get a license before doing so), boat (plenty of public landings around to put in a kayak), hangout. Biking is probably best on the carriage roads of Acadia, which are island-side on MDI, or over at Schoodic in Winter Harbor (make a loop starting at Frazier Point). Sullivan has a stretch of the sunrise trail, which is an ATV trail, and which is billed as bike friendly but it's not super great for tires narrower than mountain bikes. Go eat seafood at Tracy's, less than a mile up the road. Eat some ice cream at Shanahan's Sweet Retreat. Dunbar's Store has a good beer selection, carries an assortment of food stuffs including some vegan options-variety is the spice of life. Young's Market has breakfast Sammy's, coffee, pizza, cigs, fuel. Check out our 70 acres in tree-growth with some old logging trails. Casually bushwhack on if you feel it. There's a glacial erratic not terribly far from the site. Please note that it is possible to get lost, though unlikely! Please be courteous and respectful of the land and neighbors. Please be mindful that the Maine region is in moderate drought. Pick up after yourselves. Listen for the wildlife, look before speaking. Enjoy! DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN FIREWOOD! Again, DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN FIREWOOD. There is firewood on site.

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 Point

The Point is located in Gouldsboro, in Downeast Maine on the Schoodic Peninsula near the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park on occupied Wabanaki land. The point is our home, offered to guests as a place for seekers of peace and solace to gain a better relationship and appreciation with nature in a world that has forgotten the importance and connection we all have with the planet that sustains us. A priority here for me is keeping this land pristine and respected. Our mission to save and protect our natural environment and keep it natural and wild can only be accomplished with the active mindfulness of you. 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
