George Deering owned these acres and worked as a farmer in the early to mid 1900's, my parent's acquired the property in 1991 and it has since been passed on to me. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent in the field or near the wood line with a beautiful view; quiet and peaceful but close to amenities, a half mile away in the Town of Brooks. There is some availability for campers; although no hook-ups!

At the top of the hill you can see the bay with trails and a moose that visits in the spring.Theres a small stream running thru the lower entrance of the property. Back in the 1800 they raised sheep and farmed the land.

Sunflower Ranch is the name of our home and property. Not only is our cozy, modest house sunflower yellow but in August it is surrounded with sunflowers of all sizes. We share our property with a flock of sweet hens and ducks.....and a few bossy roosters. Eggs are available for purchase if needed. There is a little greenhouse with herbs, greens and strawberries. The field is also an apple orchard that mostly feeds the wildlife. The tent site is privately placed in our cove unseen from the house. We wanted to offer a site that we would enjoy as well and feels like it is in a world of its own. We spend all of our free time outside, camping and paddling the local rivers and lakes. Tommy and I can recommend many beautiful remote Maine adventures for you to experience that are located off the grid and away from all other humans. The sweet city of Ellsworth is only 7 miles away for all of your provisions and Otis General Store is 1 mile away.. they have everything to get you through plus beer, wine, ice and homemade pizza. We can give you a pass to visit the Beech Hill Pond Beach also only 1 mile away (I walk there all the time) which has clear water and a sandy bottom. Great spot to spend the day sunbathing and swimming. I can offer yoga, personal training, boxing and paddleboard lessons or SUP yoga for some onsite physical fitness fun upon request. Learn more about this land: 16 by 12 ft A-Frame on a platform overlooking our private cove on Graham Lake.  Walk through the forest trail to the Beech Hill Pond Stream and find a private little swim spot under a mini waterfall . Great fishing, loon watching, eagles and herons. Enjoy paddling and exploring right from your tent site. Bird watching bliss! Very peaceful and quiet. Canoe or 2 kayaks included.

4. Dandelion Rest Stop

24mi from Camden · 4 sites · Tents, Lodging

Across the street from The Lost Kitchen. Quiet residence in the village across from the historic mill and a cascading waterfall on Sandy stream. There is a town pond for swimming, fishing and boating a 5 minute walk. Located in midcoast you are centrally positioned with Belfast, Camden, Waterville and Bangor a short drive.

4 nights at Deering Acres Campground

I had a nice stay here. The privy was clean and it's only 30-40 minute drive from Bangor. The sites are on a slight grade of a hill but it isn't that bad and they each have a fire ring and picnic table with a trash can.

Beautiful, grassy hillside with a lovely sunset. Easy to find, traffic on the nearby road isn’t bothersome.

Just a field with a Porta-pottie , a fire ring, picnic bench and a good view, but what more do you need? May be showers.

Weekend Trip to Deering Acres Campground

Nice spot. Very scenic. Quite quiet. Quite roomy. Very little level spots. Brooks is a nice little community with a cafe and a health food store and a new food market. Ralph’s cafe has had a line waiting for breakfast the 2 times I tried to eat there.

The land is close to Belfast and right off of a main road, which was convenient and yet the site was very quiet.

Such a beautiful view! I love staying here for so many reasons, such a perfect get away. This beautiful campsite sits at the top of a beautiful town that has everything you could need. I love taking in all the sites from the beautiful rural town to staring at the stars, The wide open space and fresh air is so relaxing. Deering Acres is by far my favorite get away 10/10
