Four Acre Woods Campground
14 sites Ā· Lodging, RVs, Tents4 acres Ā· Deer Isle, Hancock
A beautiful island campground, thickly forested with spruce, fir, and birch, was created over 60 years ago, on Sunshine Island in 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.
As far as through the 90ās, it was open to the public, 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, and instantly connected and joined forces. They worked together, redressing a home, in Stonington, for visitors to experience and became brothers.
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

WildWalkWays at Eastern Plant
10 sites Ā· Tents25 acres Ā· Georgetown, Sagadahoc
In 1987 a long search for the ideal, rare plant nursery ended when I found this property. Years of planting and careful tending have now brought me to the campground phase I've always wanted. This property is blessed with fields, meadows, big trees, lake, streams, beavers, cliffs, bald eagles and more. (AND LATELY THE RARE STELLAR SEA EAGLE IN THIS AREA!) Located in lower mid coast Maine, near historic Bath and famous Reid state park. You drive thru the nursery on a private dirt lane, then park and walk 2 to 10 minutes to private campsites.
Our place has a true wilderness feel yet is close to civilization! Come join me for a day or more! Note the nursery is park like...there is NO commercial feel to it.

CLIFFS!
STREAM!
PRIVACY!
ADVENTURE!
FURNISHED!
THREE GREAT SITES!
Site 1-Streamside Overlook, Site 2-Mountain Meadows and Site 3-Hobbit Hollow
These sites can be PARTLY FURNISHED with two options. For an additional $39 or $23 PER BOOK, FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE! We highly recommend this option. Details below
For those wanting a real Maine adventure and privacy, this is it.
To get to two of these two
sites, you walk the same relatively flat logging road as the other sites: which is about an eight minute walk from parking. Then, you venture down a short, 20 foot hill with rock steps, to a small mossy island with giant 5 foot Ostrich Ferns. Take the left fork and really cool "boardwalk" to
the dramatic Mountain Meadows Site, which leads to a small waterfall. Take the right fork to the exciting and magical "2 level," Streamside Overlook Site.
To get to the HOBBITT HOLLOW SITE there are no steps but it's a longer walk, about 14 minutes.
Hobbitts will never hurt you.
Site 1- Streamside Overlook: This site for one or two people only!
Once onto the small island, a
one minute walk over rustic boardwalk trails takes you to a stone bridge over a small stream, to the Streamside Overlook site.
Once across, you are greeted by a neat fire pit right AT THE STREAMS EDGE, with space for chairs next to the stream. Then a short, 20 foot trek up a hill leads to your tent site! The site dramatically looks down to the woodland stream, the fire pit and off to a salt marsh to the right. In back of you are huge cliffs, giant moss covered rocks and privacy. It's an awesome site BUT NOT for those bringing tons of stuff. So, we can partly furnish it for you. NOTE: you may of course bring what you want, we are just trying to make it easier for you. 12 MINUTES FROM PARKING.
TWO OPTIONS TO FURNISH: OPTION 1: For an additional and optional $39 per Book, YOUR SITE COMES SUPPLIED WITH: a table, two chairs, cooking utensils (pot, sauce pan, cast iron skillet, bbq tongs, spatulas, steamer, plates, soup bowls, large cups, knives-forks-spoons-larger knife ( real ones! ) cooking grate for firepit, grate scraper, veg. peeler, kitchen scissors, 2 oven mitts, paper towels, condiments-salt, pepper, ketchup, sugar, 1 gallon of water and bundle of firewood.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS UPGRADE, THESE ARE ITEMS MANY FORGET...IT SAVES YOU TIME AND LUGGING AND PROVIDES ALL THE BASICS FOR A COOKOUT EXCEPT THE FOOD!
OPTION 2: JUST THE CHAIRS, TABLE, GRILL GRATE AND WOOD $23 The fees for this are collected here.
The tent area at this site
is charming but not super large due to grade, yet it will comfortably fit a two person tent or two one person tents. The site area itself IS VERY LARGE with dramatic rock ledges. !
Total walk from parking 12 minutes. We supply a four wheeled gorilla cart to get your stuff to sites. (it gets you most of the way) STREAMSIDE OVERLOOK SITE IS AMAZING!
Site 2-MOUNTAIN MEADOWS SITE
is facing the salt marsh, waterfall and gigantic, mossy boulders. It has a huge footprint and genuinely feels like you are in
a national park. Rock cliffs covered in moss are your dramatic backdrop. Trees along the marsh have been limbed up to give you a great view. A cool boardwalk access is the final trail. This is perhaps my most favorite spot on the entire property.
It can also be supplied like STREAMSIDE OVERLOOK and has a truly beautiful fire pit
All of our sites are great, these two are showpieces!
It's an awesome site BUT NOT for those bringing tons of stuff. So, we can optionally, partly furnish it for you as above.
Let us know when booking. That fee will be collected here. NOTE: you may bring what you want, we are just trying to make it easier for you.

SITE 3 - HOBBIT HOLLOW SITE. This site is Only for 3 or more people. You venture to the back woods thru a gorgeous forest of pine, oak and a few beeches on a curving trail which leads to hollow, right on a salt marsh with a great view. You have the choice of TWO tent sites. One near the fire pit looking out to the marsh, suitable for a small tent... and another is on a grassy knoll just fifty feet away, fine for a LARGE
tent. There is running water at the fire pit area. As with the other two sites you can book this furnished, which we suggest. TOTAL WALK FROM PARKING 14 MINUTES. Take note: Local hobbits are friendly...no worries! Bathroom is only a 1--2 minute walk.

HERE IS A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CAMPGROUND
WELCOME! A TRUE CAMPING EXPERIENCE AWAITS YOU, WITH BIG SPACIOUS SITES, GORGEOUS SCENERY AND SOLITUDE!
PLEASE JOIN
US FOR A MAINE ADVENTURE!
Our welcoming campsites are called Maine WILDWALKWAYS. You will love these genuine, back to nature tent sites with so many creature comforts, all
in an amazing, unspoiled setting! Read our story about the beautiful camp sites and
the gorgeous scenery of the area, then
choose from 10, highly scenic private sites in 3 connected sections. Please scroll thru the pictures above to get a visual of the actual tent sites.
At WILDWALKWAYS, you are welcomed to a pristine, coastal forest in scenic, unspoiled Georgetown, Maine on the ocean. This quaint town is a gem of the Maine coast, near historic Bath, the enticing "mid coast" area. You won't find a more rewarding and affordable camping journey with so many natural "Maine" features.
Your campsites are surrounded
by a scenic lake, meandering rocky stream, active beaver pond, giant moss covered
cliffs, majestic forest and more! All of this in a natural, untouched setting with pine needled trails
...the real Maine! You will discover
Georgetown is the best of both worlds, as it has
a northern, wilderness feel, yet is only 12 minutes to "civilization" in historic Bath, Maine.
Even though 2019 was our first full year operating, we ranked a very high "7th BEST IN MAINE!" Campers were 100% enthusiastic and
ALL sites
were filled up often. IN
2020 OUR SECTION 2, RANKED 2ND PLACE IN MAINE. Thanks to all who stayed, making the year a booming success! Plus, we made many enhancements for an even better experience in 2021.
WildWalkWays is
a unique and really cool small campground with ten tent sites total, in 3 sections with different
price points.
Our sites are PRIVATE & SPACIOUS
WITH GREAT VALUE. Unlike many campgrounds, with sites jammed together without privacy, ours are spaced well apart for MAXIMUM PRIVACY.
It doesn't feel like a campground ...it feels like a park. Even when every site is booked, campers tell us
you genuinely get a sense of owning
the Maine forest.
READ OUR POSITIVE REVIEWS. HAPPY CAMPERS RULE. HERE IS ONE
REVIEW RANDOMLY PULLED BELOW
"I had the best camping experience Iāve ever had at the Cedar Meadows campsite, it was completely pushed into the woods and it was the biggest campsite too, we hung our hammock up and listened to birds chirping, you canāt hear anything but wildlife. Having a toilet a short walk away was a huge plus. Mark was the best host we could ask for. He was extremely polite and helpful, he brought us an axe upon asking for one and even left out some wood for us and helped us to the site. The beautiful untouched land is amazing and the site is big enough for a nice walk by the small waterfall and big cliff, well worth a visit here. If you want an extremely quiet and secluded campground away from big crowds and small sites, come here."
AT YOUR CAMPSITE
A lot of thought went into designing the sites for solitude, fun and privacy. Every camper has told us they loved the genuine camping experience. The 10 tent sites are spread over many acres, in our beautiful coastal forest, only three miles to the ocean. You can hear the surf many nights. Each tent site is unique, with views, stream, fire pits, peacefulness, cliffs, mossy boulders,
wildlife and more. For your comfort, we have spread a thick layer of soft pine needles over each tent area, which makes
for an incredibly relaxing, comfortable sleep. All sites have marked trees to hang hammocks from for added enjoyment. At WildWalkWays, you are in the real Maine woods with trees, deer and nature all around you but you are not isolated. Rest assured, there are no poisonous snakes or crocodiles!
You will wake to the
fresh
scents of the pine forest and aromatic bayberry in the air. I know that might sound corny but it's true.
CREATURE COMFORTS
There are quality, enclosed portable toilets a short walk from every
site, with soft lighting near each one so you can find your way. They are cleaned and supplied daily. Each serves only 2 or 3 sites!
Pine needled trails lead to these rest stations. They have
lighting and a fan inside. Kinda
cool and everyone loves them.
EACH CAMPSITE has its own cold WATER faucet, right at the the tent site! A unique touch special to our sites.
SAFETY
Every occupied site has a few motion or solar lights to softly illuminate the area. In addition, the logging road used to access the sites has occasional solar or motion lights so you aren't totally in the dark, it is a very subtle effect. NOTE: We always have a few LED flashlights on hand if you forgot yours.
BOOKING
You can now check in as EARLY as 10 am for a small fee. (Inquire when booking). Regular book in time is
3 to 6 PM.
COMMUNICATIONS
We communicate with campers after you book, thanking you and
giving directions or answering any questions you might have.
When you get here, we provide FREE USE use of a four wheeled gorilla cart to get belongings to your site. Campers love it. You will get
a handout on each site, basic information, local attractions and things to do. Please let us know of any requests before you get here and we will do our best
to help you out. Feel free to ask anything or how we can help.

very scenic area. There is also a public boat launch nearby where you can launch your kayak into a protected ocean inlet with amazing views.
PLANT LOVERS

FOOD
The Georgetown general store is only two miles away on route 127 ...a nice walk or bike ride and it has a good wine selection. Bath, Maine finally has a good pizza place: Brunos Wood Fired Pizza on Front St. (ask for well done, they don't cook it enough) Here in town, there is a seasonal farm stand, farther down 127 south, offering local foods, wines etc. Also in Georgetown, don't miss Five Islands Seafood:
This is a famous place, rated as one of the finest for lobster, with
great take out food on the wharf. It is
at the very end of 127 south. Feast on the best
lobsters, burgers, chowders, etc. with picnic tables to enjoy your meal and one of the most amazing
views in Maine! Don't forget, here at WildWalkWays, each campsite has a fire pit, with grates available for your own barbeque.

HISTORY
The noted towns of Bath, Brunswick, Freeport and Wiscasset are only 12 to 25 minutes away.
Bath is a scenic and easy town to stroll around in with shops, cafes and history. The Bath Maritime Museum is a cool place, fun for kids and adults. Next town over is Brunswick, a bit bigger,
home to Bowdoin College and also a great walking town. Freeport is well known for shopping, home of L.L. Bean. Heading up the coast is Wiscasset, highly scenic, famous for Reds Eats, shopping and scenery.
CENTRALLY LOCATED
We are less than a days drive to so many Maine attractions. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are less than 3 hours away. The take off spots for wonderful Monhegan Island are just an hour away. Popham Fortess is a fascinating old stone fort, a half hour away. There's much more.
AUTUMN COLOR
Don't forget the famous Maine FALL FOLIAGE, this is a great place to see it -- peak fall foliage is Sept 20 thru Oct 15. Our campsites are usually booked well before fall season, take note.

Legacy Ranch
8 sites Ā· RVs, Tents30 acres Ā· Wells, York
(As of 7/27/2023 Legacy Ranch Camp Ground is closed due to issues with permits. I will be working with the Wells town planning board to to get the campground reopen as soon as possible. My apologies to the campers I had to cancel at last minute. Hope to see you all before the end of season which is October 31st, If not see you April 1st.)
Legacy Ranch Camp Ground has approximately 20 to 35 acres for self contained tent camping and RV camping at this time "Please check the size campers accepted." There are plenty of State hiking trial in the area, and the Tatnic Brook runs thought the property, weather permitting, and of course Beaver construction. We have chickens and fresh eggs year round. In the summer we may have a few cows, and possibly sheep and goats in the coming seasons.
We are eleven mins, or 5.1 miles from the beach and Rout 1 that will get you to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, and entertainment, such as mini golf, movies, Fun Town USA just to mention a few. "If Rout 1 is not your thing ask me about the back roads":)
Legacy Ranch is a generational farm/ranch land passed down from 5 generations and will be passed to a 6th generation; my 3 grandchildren and then their children and many more generations to come. Each generation has made a sustainable living here. My father and beautiful stepmother who have both passed made their life living here as Horsemen full time and a Cattlemen part time. I share their love for the land and will work to keep it as rural and beautiful as they had. My grandmother worked outside of the home while working hard at home to keep things going and at that time my great grandmother hooked rugs. My great grandparents worked the land had pigs, chickens, cows, made wine from wild grapes, and had a small apple orchard. To be honest I am not quite sure what the first generation did to for a living to sustain them selves, but I can tell you it was to work and live off the land.
Now its my turn for my dream, and how I can make a sustainable living from the land. Legacy Ranch Camp Ground is a self contained wild experience what you bring in you take out and leave nothing behind. We have stared updating with picnic tables and firer pits, and in time all sites will have these items. If you like the quiet country, wild turkey, duck, geese, deer, coyote this is the place for you!
I have so much love for this place and I KNOW how much work it is to live here and the hard work my ancestors had to do to live here as well. Now I have a family who have helped me keep it. I have three beautiful grandchildren and we are working hard for their legacy.
Enjoy your stay, we can't wait to see you!

Big Moose Inn Cabins & Campground
63 sites Ā· Lodging, Tents34 acres Ā· Millinocket, Piscataquis
Big Moose Inn Cabins & CampgroundIrving O. Hunt and his brother Lyman built some rough camps on Millinocket Lake before they became interested in the Nesowadnehunk Stream region. Whether or not their old camps were at the same site as the present camps on Millinocket Lake we do not know.The Millinocket Lake Camps, known today as Big Moose Inn, are located on a narrow spit of land separating Ambejejus Lake and Millinocket Lake. Before a dam controlled Ambajejusā water level, it was possible to pole up the short stream from Millinocket Lake into Ambejejus.Fred Spencer build the camps, originally named Camp Eureka, in 1899 or 1900 and ran them with his brother. With the founding of Millinocket only a few years earlier and lumbering roads nearing Katahdin, the two lakes became more easily accessible. Camp Eureka was advertised as the only camp reachable by both boat (from Norcross) and road (from Millinocket). In 1905, the rate was $1.50 per day, meals included. Spencer also claimed the lakes had no flies or mosquitoes during spring and summer- a phenomenon caused by the way winds blow across the lakes, which makes it difficult for insects to gain a foothold.The campsā name changed to Camp Spencer and later to Spencerās Camps. Around 1929 the lease was transferred to Elmer Woodworth, who lived with his wife on a nearby island while they operated the camps. Elmer, a well-known guide, trapped over the winter, and his wife served as the camp cook. The couple soon renamed the camps Millinocket Lake Camps and Trading Post. They also maintained an outlying camp on Sandy Stream for their guests. In 1941, a major fire broke out in the area. The Woodworths saved the camps by wetting them down, but lost their island home when a stray spark jumped the cove. There is some evidence that, for a short time, a gentleman named Johnny Given either held the lease or managed the camps for the Woodworths. Except for that brief change the Woodworths operated the camps for many years until they passed the lease on to their son Ray, who ran them with his wife Muriel.In 1977, the lease was transferred to Bob and Frederica (āTeddyā) Boynton, who in 1981 sold the trading post to Erwin and Maureen Bacon. The Boyntons retained the sporting camp operation and later added a public restaurant. Teddy renamed the camps Big Moose Inn. Bob and his son Bruce made many renovations to the camps, while Teddy decorated and furnished them. The Boynton Family has remained involved in the success of the inn and restaurant. After Teddyās death in 1991, management passed to Bruce and his sister Laurie, but Bob and other family members are still very involved.The dam separates the flowages of the two lakes.

Camping in Maine guide
There's much more to Maine than lighthouses, lobster shacks, and sandy beaches. The northernmost state in New England packs in surprising variety, from the rocky islands and seaside resorts of the Atlantic shore to the forests and mountains of the Appalachian Mountains. Campers can take their pick of 32 state parks and one epic national park, filled with lakes, woodlands, and beaches to hike, bike, climb, and kayak. "Vacationland" pulls in the summer crowds, especially along the coast, but our pick is fall, when the northern highlands are ablaze with foliage.
Where to Go
Aroostook & the Highlands
Maineās mountainous north is the stuff that hikerās bucket lists are made of. The sprawling wilderness of Baxter State Park is the starting point of the epic Appalachian Trail and home to Maineās highest peakāthe 5,267-foot Mount Katahdin. Miles of hiking trails run through the highlands, along with some of the stateās best snowmobiling and cross-country skiing trails. To get on the water, head to Moosehead Lake, or try paddling and backcountry tent camping along the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.
Maine Lakes & Mountains
The hills and valleys of western Maine are peppered with high peaks and hundreds of glacial lakes, affording plenty of opportunities for a back-to-nature camping experience. Drive the High Peaks Scenic BywayĀ for some of the most spectacular views, enjoy family camping at Sebago Lake State Park, or check into an RV park near Bethel, Naples, or Lewiston. In winter, rent a cozy ski chalet and hit the ski resorts of Sugar Loaf, Shawnee Peak, and Sunday River.
Southern Maine Coast
When summer temperatures soar, some of the most popular Maine campgrounds and beaches are found along the southwest shore. Head to the beach towns of Kennebunkport, Freeport, and Portland for old-fashioned seaside fun; go boating or kayaking around Casco Bay; then snag an RV site or cabin rental at the oceanfront campground in Wolfeās Neck Woods State Park.
Downeast & Acadia
Maineās only national park, Acadia National Park, is the headline act of DownEast, the stateās rugged and rocky southeastern coast. Opt to stay on the mainland at Bar Harbor and head over to admire the parkās historic lighthouses and ocean views, or choose from multiple camping areas on the islands. Further north, the 15 coastal parklands of Cobscook Shores have picnic tables, boat launches, and backcountry camping sites.
