The best dome rentals in Maine

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.

Tucked among spruce, fir, and birch on Sunshine Island in Deer Isle–Stonington, Four Acre Woods began more than 60 years ago as a small, family-run campground known as Sunshine Campground. Travelers from across the world visited this quiet island forest, drawn to its raw beauty and the peaceful energy that generations before us had loved and cared for. The campground eventually closed in the 1990s and sat untouched for over 15 years—its trails, clearings, and old campsites slowly reclaimed by the woods. The land waited, quietly, for someone to bring it back to life. In the years that followed, Caleb, a longtime local operator on the island, took interest in the property. Recognizing both its history and its potential to offer people a deeper experience of Deer Isle’s natural beauty, he began the process of carefully restoring and reopening the land. Working season by season, Caleb rebuilt the sites, added new infrastructure, re-established utilities, and designed a campground that honors the land’s roots while offering a comfortable, modern, and nature-forward experience for today’s guests. In July 2020, the property reopened under a new name: Four Acre Woods. Today, it blends the spirit of the original Sunshine Campground with thoughtful stewardship, simple comforts, and a deep respect for the forest that surrounds it. Visitors once again gather under the birches and spruces—sharing campfires, slow mornings, quiet nights, and the timeless island calm that makes this land so special. So— Welcome Home. Sincerely, The Caretakers of Four Acre Woods

Beautiful land, amazing sky views at night, overall it was an amazing experience. If you are looking for a place that is truly away from busy lifestyle cities, this is the place. Seth was a very genuine and an excellent host. His story he shared about how he started was nice to hear. The location is also an excellent hub location for exploring the tourist cities as well as inner Maine.

I have never dome-camped before. What a fun experience. Excellent mattress and you can see the stars through the plastic roof. Had a little campfire and woke up to seeing a beautiful and peaceful field. Went for a run down the country road in the morning. Just lovely all around. Seth, my host was very welcoming and helpful. He stopped by to make sure I had everything I needed when I arrived.

We loved this campground and the surrounding area so much. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Deer Isle was my absolute favorite part of Maine.

We really enjoyed our stay in one of the domes at Four Acre Wood. The tent was comfortable, and the campground had everything we needed. Conary Cove is a must-visit and we were pleasantly surprised by the selection at the local Hannaford in Blue Hill. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to friends.

Great little campground! Clean and well cared for. Walking distance to a beautiful beach that’s dog friendly. Great amenities…shower, ice and firewood. Lots to do all within 20 minutes of your campsite. Lots of great restaurant choices too. Our favorite was the Burnt Cove Lobster Boil…highly recommend!

I appreciate 4 acre's gracious atmosphere ; the hosts are both responsive and unintrusive. The Seal Cove geodome is both stylish and comfortable ; thoughtful details like the pour over coffee cone and stoneware dishes are a treat! The area's natural beauty is easily accessible from the campground, all in all a perfect spot!

1 night at Ferncrest Acadia

Ferncrest Acadia is so special! It’s a brand new place, and they’ve absolutely nailed it. The location is perfect!! Peaceful, surrounded by nature, and still super close to Acadia and all the little towns and hikes nearby. The geodome was insanely cozy and felt so luxurious! Like the perfect mix of comfort and nature. We slept like babies and never wanted to leave! And the stargazing? Out of this world. We laid outside for hours just watching the sky—I've never seen stars like that before. It felt totally magical. You can even pick fresh blueberries right on the property, which was such a fun bonus. Every little detail was so thoughtful, and everything just felt easy. We already can’t wait to come back. If you’re headed to Maine, Ferncrest Acadia needs to be on your list!!

This is a delightful campground in the woods, but not far from a cove I believe (although we couldn't find it). Its obvious that a lot of thought has gone into the facilities which are very clean and comfortable. No charges either for using the washing machines, and soap and shampoo and conditioner provided in the bathouse. The common area is very sweet with books, guitars, games and all sorts of info on the local area. We loved the geodome which was very comfortable and had everything we might need. We had one night which was colder than expected but they supplied us with a space heater which helped.

I loved my stay in the geodome at Four Acres Woods! This is the perfect place for those who love the outdoors but want a more convenient, comfortable way to enjoy it! The staff was very friendly and made sure our stay was amazing! All the facilities, including the bathrooms, sauna, and community cabin were very clean. We met amazing people in the area and got to see some amazing nature!

Weekend Trip to Four Acre Woods Island Campground

The location & setting were great. Caleb, the caretaker, was helpful and always available. The "smallness" of the campground (12 sites?), was what we wanted. The close proximity to lots of hiking trails and the shoreline were bonuses.

Where to go

Aroostook & the Highlands

Maine’s mountainous north is the stuff that hiker’s bucket lists are made of. The sprawling wilderness of Baxter State Park is the starting point of the epic Appalachian Trail and home to Maine’s highest peak—the 5,267-foot Mount Katahdin. Miles of hiking trails run through the highlands, along with some of the state’s 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 Byway 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 Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park.

Downeast & Acadia

Maine’s only national park, Acadia National Park, is the headline act of DownEast, the state’s rugged and rocky southeastern coast. Opt to stay on the mainland at Bar Harbor and head over to admire the park’s 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.
