We loved camping on Jeff’s land! The site was perfectly secluded yet easy to access from the main road. Both sun rise and sun set here were breathtaking, not to mention a dazzling view of the night sky. 10/10. We will be back!

Very well thought out in design and maneuverability.
Very clean and peaceful. Hearing the loons in the morning and evening was heavenly.

A peaceful spot to slow down and watch the tides come in and out. Great birding and wildlife. We love it here.

Staying on the island was truly unforgettable! Lisa was so helpful in explaining how things worked and also the stories behind certain aspects! This was particularly interesting as this is an island and cabin with a beautiful and rich history. Every inch of the home is so intentional, and there are also books around where you can learn more about how it was built.
It can be hard to find places where dogs are welcome, so it’s also so appreciated that Lisa allows pups. Our Arlo absolutely loved having the freedom to explore this island, and by the time he wanted to come inside in the evening, he was exhausted in the best way! We visited the other end of the island where there is an additional cabin that doesn’t get rented out, and spent some time enjoying the scenery from a rock overlooking the ocean.
We absolutely intend to return next summer.

Such a special beautiful place. This was the second year I spent a few days on this island and the end always comes too soon. Sure there are mosquitos and minimal electricity…but the sacredness of this land and the magic of witnessing the tides shift throughout the day take the precedent of living in tune with nature.
Lisa is a great host and I cannot wait to return next year.

Had such a great time here! Jeff and his wife were very welcoming and answered all of our questions about local activities. The lake is great for SUP, and our dog had a great time exploring. So amazing to wake up and go on a morning dog walk and not see any people! Thank you Jeff!

We had a great night on David's property. Their garden and field of sunflowers were beautiful and the site was very private and perfect for our group of four people and four dogs. They kindly tied their dog up so that it wouldn't venture over to our grumpy dogs. The tent sites were level and the perfect consistency for putting in stakes, the firewood was very dry and easy to access, and we bought a lemon blueberry sourdough and some jam at the farmstand that we enjoyed! The picnic table, which looked new, was very nice and the toilet is the nicest toilet I have ever seen camping and deserves a shout out of its own. David was also extremely responsive on the app and was very accommodating of our last minute reservation! We hiked up Singlepole Mountain to the quarry on our way out (about 15 mins away) and got a great view from only about a mile of hiking.

Very clean and easy to find. Great fireplace setup with precut wood even though we didn’t have a fire. So quiet all you hear are the loons.

This place is perfection: the location, the view, the care with which the site was placed and is managed, and the amazing, friendly, responsive hosts. I’ve stayed here numerous times and will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommended.

What a treat it was to spend some time on Hockomock Island! We absolutely wondered at the creativity and craft that went into making the off grid lodging. Lisa is such a knowledgeable, kind and attentive host. The care she puts into maintaining the island is obvious! Highlights of our stay included heating our water for warm showers, cooking on the wood stove and all our time just existing on the deck. Such a special place for so many reasons! We are very grateful it was shared with us.

Such a gem of a campsite! And amazing, kind hosts. The site itself is down an old stagecoach road lined with apple trees — very secluded with no other campers around. We brought our paddleboards, spent the day on the water, followed it up with a hot outdoor shower, and topped it off with fresh strawberry shortcake and jamaican jerk chicken from Beth’s farm market down the road. So good!
Nearby:
So much. Beth’s, which is right down the road, really has everything you could need for a camping weekend. You’re also close to Warren (St. George Pizza), Waldoboro (Odd Alewives, Idas Wine Bar @ The Waldoboro Inn, The Waldo Theatre), Thomaston (Uproot Pie Co @ Carriage House), Rockland (Cafe Grazie, Sammy’s Deluxe, Luce Spirits, The Farnsworth Museum), Rockport (Seafolk Coffee), and Camden (Winona’s, First Fig, Megunticook Lake, Camden Hills State Park)
Amenities: There’s a platform for your tent, a picnic table, firepit, and adirondack chairs. When we showed up, the hosts left fresh cut flowers at the site for us. There was also a little toilet + trashbag set up but we just used our luggable loo camp toilet + wag bags.

A beautiful site with a gorgeous view of the Camden Hills. When the day was hot we swam in the pond on Jeff's property across the road. Jeff and his wife are super nice and accommodating. Very private. Highly recommended.

Really nice stay in the Maine woods. Quiet and private. Centralish location for Augusta, Boothbay, and Wiscasset, all of which we wanted to visit.
Hookups were all great and the water pressure was good. Only issue we had was that the 50-amp electrical connection is in a power box with a narrow space for the cord. Totally fine if you have a 50-amp power cord, but we needed to use a 50a-to-30a converter and our dogbone style one proved too wide to fit in the cable area. We were able to pickup a different style of adapter at Walmart and that worked great.
Met a friendly neighbor who took us out on the lake in her boat, so got a free tour of the area too! Communication with the host was fast and easy.

We stayed 3 delightful nights on the island and now know why so many reviewers describe it as magical. We loved the birds and seals that wowed us each day as we relaxed on the large deck. The scenery surrounding us and the solitude were just what we needed. Kayaks and trails are steps away too. We found the house (and the people who built it) fascinating, which added to our stay. Lisa could not be more accommodating: easy to reach, very informative, and really nice to talk to.

This is our second stay! We will be back again next year! The walking trails are our favorite, we love to forage and this is totally the place! The garden is beautiful and the sites are very good sized and spaced out enough you’d never know other people were there! The primitive shower was a great addition this year! It was easy to use. They supplied a lot of things including tents screen, tents, and chairs! Too bad we didn’t get the chance to buy any of the delicious baked goods at the farm stand, but they sure looked delicious! We can’t wait to come back again for our annual family camping trip!

Our stay here gave us the unique opportunity to experience what it would be like to live on an island in an off the grid cabin. We treasured the opportunity to be close to nature & soak in the beautiful bay views.
Access to the cabin is via a path that takes you across the causeway & up a hill past rocky ledges along the spine of the island to the southern end, a 15 min walk (10 with a small vehicle that can cross the causeway). We were grateful to have read & followed the advice to apply bug spray prior to the walk...we forgot on our way out and paid the price! Once at the cabin, the bugs were not bad while sitting on the deck.
The cabin is well stocked. Lisa even put vases of flowers inside & out! We only needed our food, clothes & books, though we were glad we brought along our hammock with tree straps. Be sure any digital books are fully downloaded. Verizon network was often "SOS Only" or 1 bar.
The sleeping area is upstairs & requires being comfortable climbing rather steep open stairs with a railing starting partway up. The reward is a comfortable queen size bed with stunning views!
The clean outhouse is a short walk up a small hill behind the cabin. TP & sanitizer is provided.
While the cabin itself doesn't provide privacy for more than one family, you're allowed to pitch a tent which would make it possible to enjoy the island with another couple.
Thank you, Lisa, for all you do so that others can enjoy this very special property. We hope to return!

Serenity Pines was a nice spot to relax at. It was a good location for exploring the area. We appreciated the electric, water and sewer hook ups making it more comfortable. Most importantly, our dog loved cooling off in the lake!

Excellent excellent spot! Wow such a beautiful gem of a place. Jeff and family were so kind, responsive, and generous. The camping area is about a 1/3 mile from the road and set up with a nice picnic table, large tent platform, and lovely views. There's a pond nearby and lots of field and trail to walk. Would definitely come back. Thanks!
