Stories from the community

2 nights at Quarry Ledge Campground

We had such an amazing experience at this camp! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, everyone was so friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind. The entire place is spotless, which made our stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. One of the best surprises was discovering they had a pool, it was such a fun bonus and the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. And to top it all off, the camp is dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us! Our pup had the best time, and it made the experience even more special. We truly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Quarry Ledge Campground

Nice campground with electric and water hooks up. The grounds have access to running water toilets, porta-potties, and hot showers in the bathhouse.

1 night at Egypt Acres

Beautiful, calm, and safe. Great for solo car life/vanlife in the area. Not very much public parking, and this is so beautiful that it’s a win/win. Michael was also a very nice guy. Everything went really well.

1 night at Quarry Ledge Campground

Terrific Campground. Big sites. Interesting area with much to do.

3 nights at Cabin Creek Farm

Gary's land is beautiful and he is incredibly welcoming. Everyone ate together under the lit community pavillion and fireflies were all around. Kayaking basically steps away was a DREAM (go at 7pm during the summer, trust me.) Cranberry Island itself is also adorable and stunning. The ferry trips were a highlight! We were super glad we booked. The only warning is there is no water available at the site, only at the general store by the dock when you arrive. Check the store hours and come prepared!

Weekend Trip to Flatrock on the River

Amazing location, right on the river, definitely going back.

Weekend Trip to Cabin Creek Farm

We had an incredible time at Gary’s camp! We walked from the ferry to the site (only about 3/4 of a mile) with our things in a wagon that we brought. We took the golf cart on our way back - which was great! The island is an incredible and absolutely beautiful place, and Gary’s was a fantastic host. He had everything set up for us, including a large bonfire to share with other campers and a shared greenhouse space to cook and eat. If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet retreat, I’d highly recommend.

2 nights at Cabin Creek Farm

Loved it, Gary is awesome! Bring bug spray. Gary really took care of us and the island was very beautiful.

Weekend Trip to The Howling Woods

Peaceful stay in the woods with great access to acadia

Weekend Trip to Flatrock on the River

Outstanding camp sites and location. Beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. The host is amazing and the location and accommodations are spectacular. The photos don’t do it justice.

Weekend Trip to Egypt Acres

This site was great! Super chill, lowkey, off the grid vibes. Michael was also super kind and helpful!!

2 nights at Four Acre Woods Campground

The amenities to this campground were top notch! We loved the sauna experience. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Overall the campground was very well kept. The sites were very close to each other, but we didn't mind since we mostly spent our time exploring the islands.

1 night at The Howling Woods

A beautiful spot! Super close to Acadia, had a lovely time

2 nights at Egypt Acres

This is in a rock quarry that the owner still works on occasion. There are several sites. We were in the first one on entry into the area. The assortment of colors, shapes, and sizes of beautiful rocks kept me entertained. The road in is rough gravel and past some other farm sites. But we were behind a linked gate and felt comfortable in our campsite.

1 night at True Serendipity Homestead

We had a great stay at True Serendipity. Mike and Cheryl are very welcoming, highly invested in their land, and make their guests feel appreciated. Very nice to be given a bundle of wood for a fire. Clean, convenient bathroom with sink. Potable water available. Convenient access to Acadia NP. Enjoyed using their row boat on the pond. Surrounded by nature in a lovely part of Maine with special owners.

Weekend Trip to Egypt Acres

Great spot close to Acadia and hiking. Michael is a great host who is eager to make your stay enjoyable. Great communication and patience with our gps mishap. Lots of space to roam on the site and it really is off the beaten path; so quiet at night and absolutely no light pollution! Highly recommend. Thank you again, Michael.

1 night at Egypt Acres

Nice place off the grid. Mike was accommodating and helpful. Under a lot of construction so it is dusty.

1 night at The Howling Woods

Great spot for a Van Site. Brendan said he was in the process of fixing it up but with the table, fireplace, and angle you can place your van, it was a nice setup. Definitely a great launchpad for Acadia adventures, this side of the island being so much more quiet. Brendan was nice, communicative, and had tons of amenities on site.

Weekend Trip to Four Acre Woods Campground

Great place to stay with many amenities. Some people may feel the sites are a little close together if they want privacy but overall a great spot

Weekend Trip to The Point

Beautiful site, quiet and beautiful enjoyed a great time. Let’s you appreciate the beautiful nature of Acadia. Clean and nice site with all the amenities a camper needs!

Graham Cracker Cabin and Campsites

7 sites · Lodging, Tents9 acres · Waltham, ME

A very sweet and rustic Hemlock cabin, along with secluded 17' and 14" bell tents, plus 2 private campsites sit along beautiful Webb Brook. Walk through the large open field, away from everything, to this storybook setting. All you can hear is the waters of the brook rushing and sounds of nature all around.

In the cabin, upstairs, a lofted queen bed accessed by a sturdy wooden ladder. Downstairs, a wood stove with dining area, and living space with full sized convertible bed. No electricity, no plumbing, no wifi. Good cell service. Composting toilet and water tank for use inside cabin. Gas grill and firepit with tripod grate outside for cooking options.

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 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
