Weekend Trip to Continuous Harmony Farm Camp

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 !

4 nights at Private Waterfront Cabin/Campsites

Having camped since the 90s, I can confidently say Leketa’s campground in the Maine woods is the best I’ve ever experienced. My family and I had an amazing time, and so much of that is thanks to Leketa herself. She’s not just the owner; she’s a hard worker with an outstanding vibe and energy, who has poured her heart into creating this incredible place. You can truly feel her dedication and the unique energy she brings, making you feel deeply connected to the Maine woods. The campground offers private sites near Douglas Pond with endless water access, and I’ve never caught so many fish in my life! This peaceful, wildlife-filled sanctuary is masterfully managed by Leketa, an truly awesome woman. We felt incredibly safe and connected with nature, and I’ll be returning as much as I can.

3 nights at Howling Goat Farm and Grange

For a farm, the only time it was truly noisy was when one of the baby goats got tangled up in the fence and ended up hollering, making the name of the farm very appropriate. Ashley was very gracious with amenities and recommended a nearby Lake George which we had a ton of fun swimming and boating.

3 nights at Private Waterfront Cabin/Campsites

The camping experience went above and beyond with a host like LEKETA. Provided a wonderful cabin stocked with everything we needed to cook and the outpost had everything we needed for campfires. My wife and I can't wait to go again!

2 nights at Howling Goat Farm and Grange

Plenty of privacy, convenient location 5-10 mins from a Walmart and Hannafords so grabbing supplies nearby is a breeze (some slight road noise with that but nothing major). The goat meet and greet was so much better than anticipated. 10/10 would recommend if you have kiddos, they'll love it. Ashley was great, very welcoming and polite. Site was easy to find and very affordable. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Howling Goat Farm and Grange

Awesome place! Thanks Ashley for having such a perfect/private/cozy spot. I would definitely stay again!

2 nights at Private site close to attractions

The Site was beautiful. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. There were many awesome attractions in the area.

Weekend Trip to Continuous Harmony Farm Camp

The site along the pond was very picturesque. There were other campers but noise was not an issue at all!! The host recommended a great hike to an amazing view spot. The animals were fun to see walking around and the fireflies at night were fun to catch!

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain River retreat

Great spot right by the river! Couldn't have asked for a more peaceful get away!

3 nights at Happy Dwelling

Happy dwelling was amazing! It was quiet. And well located for outdoor adventures. The host was super helpful!

1 night at Bravenit Camp

Great stay! Horse corral Is level & spacious. Beautiful bathroom in the cabin was a huge bonus! Sean had firewood ready for us, as well as maps to the property. Sean communicated well & everything was exactly as described. Although short, we enjoyed our stay very much!

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain River retreat

The style of hosting for a campsite was perfect! We purchased the firewood bundle, it was left in a nice dry place which was clutch since it rained for 2/3 days. We were able to make a nice fire even though the world was underwater! The campsites were clean, the river was close, it was beautiful and I couldn’t ask for a better location. Thanks Abi!

Weekend Trip to Deering Acres Campground

Great communication! Clear and fast responses.

3 nights at Peninsula Links Campsite

We had such a lovely week! Mark and Sarah surprised us with a sweet little birthday goodie bag for my partner. The site was a cozy piece of land complete with a fire pit, perfect for some relaxation. There were a few houses nearby, and one was just visible through the trees, which made using our portable toilet a bit tricky—but we managed to stay hidden! Overall, it was a great experience!

Weekend Trip to Bravenit Camp

What a great spot. A private paradise. Pond with a deck. Perfect reading hammock. A fabulous indoor shower & a super friendly host. We loved not being packed into an RV park & will definitely be back!

1 night at Magical Mountain River retreat

Its a good place to visit the location is beautiful and its soo peaceful out there!

3 nights at Bravenit Camp

Awesome stay with a small group of friends for a long weekend. Plenty of space for our tents, cars and activities. Beautiful property and great host. Sean made us feel at home while staying here. Would definitely recommend camping at Bravenit Camp!

Weekend Trip to Deering Acres Campground

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

Weekend Trip to Private site close to attractions

Noah was quick to respond to us and helpful. We stayed 3 nights May 2-5th The spot was easy to find and secluded in a little nook. We didn't see anyone else. You can hear a train occasionally but it's off in the distance and didn't bother either of us. Some road noise too but mostly during commuting hours. Nights were peaceful and quiet. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, so we didn't sit outside much. We did find a few ticks on our dog but nothing like what we experienced in NH. You're in the woods so it's to be expected and didn't impact our stay.

2 nights at Camping With Wolves, Acadia Area

Great location for exploring the Bar Harbor area without all the crowds and congestion. Locked gate provides security and access was hassle free with use of your own key. Minimal personnel contact for check in and check out. BJ and Heather were wonderful hosts, we will be returning soon and hopefully often!

Back Forty Camping at its best

1 site · RV, Tent75 acres · Corinna, ME

The land our farm is on has been in my family for generations. It was originally part of my Great Grand Fathers dairy farm. We took over this section of the land to create our own farm several years ago. We raise beef, pork, chicken, and goats to sell. We also have several horses on the farm. The camping spot has been used by our family for years hosting “back forty” parties and weekend getaways. The pond was dug by my grandfather over 40 years ago for irrigation. It is no longer used for that and has become a wonderful frog pond that is stocked with trout. Over the last few years, we upgraded the camping area with a shed, outhouse, fire pit and granite bench, and a bean hole bean pit. The shed is used for firewood storage and other camp items. We have direct access to the ATV/Multi use trail system that can take you all over Central Maine. We have mowed waking trails around the property and acres of woods to explore.

Four Acre Woods Campground

14 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents4 acres · Deer Isle, ME

A beautiful island campground thickly forested with spruce, fir, and birch, Four Acre Woods was created over 60 years ago on Sunshine Island, 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. It was open to the public through to the 90s, 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, where they instantly connected and joined forces. They worked together redressing a home in Stonington for visitors to experience and became brothers while doing so. 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

Camp Streife

1 site · Tent17 acres · Rumford, ME

Streife translated from Norwegian means roam. The right to roam, also called the right of access, or everyman's right(“allemannsretten”) is a traditional right from ancient times, and since 1957 has also been a part of the Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Act. It ensures that everybody gets to experience nature, even on larger privately owned areas. In our travels to Norway, we learned of this law and loved the concept so much we brought it back with us to America. Yet we had no land to offer. So, we searched...and searched....and searched some more. Then we found what would become camp Streife. 20 acres of uncut timber growth forest, tucked in the hills of Rumford Maine. With a nearby brook, pond and within 20 minutes of some of our favorite ski locations it was just right. The rules of this law are simple. Be considerate and thoughtful. Don't damage nature and other surroundings. Leave the landscape as you would want to find it. Leave no trace. You may put up a tent, or sleep under the stars, for the night anywhere in the countryside, forests or mountains, as long as you keep at least 500 feet away from the nearest inhabited house or cabin. This rule of 500 feet distance also applies to camping cars and caravans. If you want to stay for more than two nights in the same place, you must ask the landowner's permission, except in the mountains or very remote areas. Well, we've taken care of all those Allemannsretten rules for you. We invite you to our small part of the world and encourage you to exercise your right to roam. Learn more about this land: Situated on 20 acres in the Woods of Rumford, ME come enjoy a forested campsite with access to nearby stream and pond. Fish, kayak, snowshoe, hike or just relax. 20 minutes from Sunday River Ski area, 25 Minutes from Black Mtn. Ski area and even closer to Rumford's White Cap Mtn. for nice backcountry ski lines. There is nearby access to the Androscoggin River, Grafton Notch State Park, and all the amenities that come with it. Come enjoy all that the Woods of Maine has to offer.

Happy Hippie Lane Maine

10 sites · Lodging, Tents3 acres · Wiscasset, ME

WELCOME to Happy Hippie Lane Maine! Get your "groove" on or hang loose here on a precious little island with a big bridge just off route one in the heart of Midcoast. Hundreds of guests report the perfect balance of upbeat fun and chill time and call our place and hospitality "magic", "amazing" and "holy guacamole!" It is a lovely spot just off the beaten path but close enough to access the frey. :) I welcome my guests personally and have likely had a chat before you booked. I like to know what your hopes and priorities are around your stay before I accept so I can meet both of our needs. When you arrive, I will greet you and share a little history/tour of the place. I accept travelers between 4 and 9 pm but like all of us schedules fluctuate and we can roll some. There's a strong chance on an average Maine clear summer evening, I have the campfire going and the solar lights around the yard are charged for their evening gentle show. All of the spaces I rent are bedrooms only. You walk a few steps/yards to my 5 bedroom home and access two showers and some kitchen use. I also have an outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen that is cute and for your use. It's fun to cook on the fire too! I prefer folks to limit cooking esp in hot weather but support healthier eating and may share some of my foraging tips. The rooms are equipped with plenty of linens and fan power. You will be cozy either way the temps go. There is a lovely porch on the log home where you can sit and enjoy the sunset and lots of wildlife activity. The back yard has tether ball and lots of seating as well as the good sized fire pit with ghosts of hundreds of fireside chats gone by. I look forward to ours! Next door there is a gravel road on a lightly traveled road for your walking or biking pleasure. I am happy to join you in a hilly roller coaster cycling experience and have a few bikes to offer up. I am a WWOOF host and have occasional "helpers" and you are welcome to explore my veggie and flower gardens. This host loves board games and crafts so is often ready to share either or both with guests. There are 150 acres around me that are wooded and pathed so your pup will love it too. Reach out soon and let's chat about your vacation and visit here. I look forward to hearing from you.

The presence of chickens, rabbits, and cats adds to the charm, while the pet-friendly policy ensures your furry friends can join the adventure with a few simple guidelines. The cabin sits near a residential tiny home, but there is plenty of private space for you or your family to enjoy. For bookings or further details, check the official listing or contact the hosts. Enjoy your nature-filled retreat!

Camping in Maine with horseback riding guide

Overview

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

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.
