The trails leading to the park still go by the old foundations that dotted the old Government Road from Camden. The farm has 46 acres of flowing pasture, hardwood forest and flower and vegetable gardens. At the heart of the property is a large farm pond that has been used to water livestock for generations. We hope you can visit us soon! Our farm abuts Camden Hills State Park, offering dozens of miles of trails for hiking and biking.

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!

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!

Dan’s campsite is hands down one of the best camping experiences we’ve ever had! From making the reservation to the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was seamless and stress-free. He stayed close in contact, responded immediately to any questions we had and offered thoughtful recommendations for places to explore nearby. His communication was top-notch and made us feel well taken care of! The site itself was immaculate, spacious, and surrounded by beautiful scenery that makes you instantly relax. Whether you’re pitching a tent or parking a camper, Dan has clearly put so much thought and care into creating a space that balances rustic charm with comfort, making it feel welcoming and accessible. We loved the firepit area and the fact that Dan offers a wheelbarrow of firewood that he cuts himself for just $10 via Venmo! It was such a great deal, super convenient to have right at our site, and it lasted us the entire two-night stay. There are also beautiful lakes and walking trails nearby, and Dan provided easy-to-follow instructions on how to access them. Bonus: his neighbors were just as friendly and kind, making sure we were all set and felt welcomed. What really sets this place apart is Dan himself. He’s responsive, clear with giving directions, and goes above and beyond to make sure guests have everything they need. We can tell he truly loves hosting and sharing his land—it shows in every detail! Truly a hidden gem! We can’t wait to return! Thank you, Dan! 😊

This campsite felt peaceful and relatively secluded, nestled right on the water. The screened-in area was a great touch for keeping bugs out while still enjoying the outdoors. It’s a drive-in site, with two other campsites nearby, but it still felt private and quiet. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay in a more tucked-away setting.

This was the first time my daughter and I went camping off of HipCamp app. Douglas' land was lovely with adorable sheep you sometimes have a surprise at surprising haha. The pond had frogs that would lull you to sleep as well. Very quiet and peaceful. 10/10 recommend. It's not too far from the lake or beach !

We loved watching the sheep graze and hearing the frogs at night. We appreciated that there were two fire pits, which gave us privacy even with another group there. The dog was very friendly, which wasn’t a problem for us, but could be for others.

Weekend Trip to Lake Auburn Community Forest

I stayed at Sophia's Camp which was private, with water and electricity, and right next to trails around Lake Auburn and the surrounding fields. Water and electricity was readily available, my dogs and I enjoyed exploring the trails, Auburn Lake is beautiful, and the host, Dan, was helpful and accessible. I would definitely recommend staying at this campground and getting to know this wonderful area of Maine.
