A mystical 7 acres of mossy woods on the edge of Acadia National Park. Listen for coyotes, owls and even loons on the lake. We are just a 1.5 mile walk from the border of the Park. Just a short drive from the most popular spots. Yet even at the height of summer, it’s really peaceful here on the quiet side of the island. Sometimes called the wild side :)

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 Ambajejus’ 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 camps’ name changed to Camp Spencer and later to Spencer’s 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 (“Teddy”) 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 Teddy’s 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. Millinocket Lake is about eight feet above its original level, and Ambajejus is now some 21 feet above its original level. Today several West Branch rafting companies make the inn their seasonal center of operations.At Big Moose, we bring you a rare blend of friendly service and lovely surroundings that successfully reflects our unique personality.

The Point is located in Gouldsboro, in Downeast Maine on the Schoodic Peninsula near the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park on occupied Wabanaki land.
The point is our home, offered to guests as a place for seekers of peace and solace to gain a better relationship and appreciation with nature in a world that has forgotten the importance and connection we all have with the planet that sustains us.
A priority here for me is keeping this land pristine and respected. Our mission to save and protect our natural environment and keep it natural and wild can only be accomplished with the active mindfulness of you. We aim to prove that hipcamp can be a magical experience for private landowners and campers alike, to provide a means of temporal community and beneficial alternative to traditional campgrounds; one that does not degrade the environment and break the peace that small towns still contain.
Please be mindful of the trash you generate and mindful of the noise you are making— we aim to provide seekers of peace a *quiet* time in nature.
Together we are here to be an example to others of what mindful camping can look like in this changing world. Thanks for caring to come, see, explore, learn
and being apart of the solution!

Camp Streife

Rumford, ME · 1 site
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.

They used it as a place for their family to
gather and camp on during Maine wonderful summer season. It is a beautiful, quiet spot with a great view and a small pond. Hipcamp lets us share this spot and helps pay our property taxes.
We are located in the western mountains of Maine in a summer community on Porter Lake. There is a beautiful view of New Vineyard mountain from our 3 acre field.
We are going through some growing pains. We currently have no hookups available. We have added a bath house with hot showers which will soon be up and running. The camp sites have been relocated deeper into our property. A loop road behind our private pond provides the access. We will be adding power and water to all our sites as soon as possible. The camping area is fairly private from our neighbors along the road. The site has a small private pond surrounded by trees you can sit and relax near.
You can (walk/bike/drive) the 1/4 mile down the dirt road to the public beach. The beach has a public dock, boat ramp, swim float, picnic tables and grills. Paddle out to the island and try the rope swing with one of our kayaks or canoes.
Be sure to check out the bald eagles that live in the white pine tree just a little farther down the island. You will hear the loons during your stay and possibly see a mother with her babies on her back. There are also ducks and ducklings and geese with gosling paddling about the lake. The state stocks the lake with trout, splake, and salmon if you like to fish. There is plenty to do right here!

Overall I had a wonderfully peaceful stay! Donanne’s instructions for getting to the camp site were spot-on. The site was well-kept and exactly as advertised. I think the only thing I’d add is that the road is a dirt road with all the bumps and such that come with a dirt road. Not a problem though if you have some ground clearance (I have a Crosstrek and had no issue).

We had an absolute blast at Adrian’s property! It was so peaceful. Very very private we couldn’t hear or see anyone! The pond and kayaks were also wonderful. We will definitely be back!

This was our second time staying at Soul Retrieve Hill and it was just as great as the first. It really feels like Maine’s best kept secret. We love how private it is with no through traffic. Just a small quiet campground built into the hills and under the stars. The community kitchen is really well stocked and the dedicated refrigerator space for our camp sight came in handy. Jymyle was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We will be back without a doubt.

3 nights at The Bird's Nest-Private Tiny House
Beautiful place. We loved every second. Very clean and sooo charming. It was literally the best place. Felt very much alone and removed from everything (which was what we were going for :) ) Close to the lake, which was beautiful. We cooked on the fire, played fetch with the dog, read books and did nothing all day.

The views at this spot were absolutely epic. From the landscape to watching the sun go down to the stars it was just awesome.
The pavilion was just a cool’s spot to hang on while taking it all in and the shower was perfect!
Only small thing it’s missing is some grass to hang out on but other than that it checks all boxes.

This was a beautiful campsite! It was so lovely to fall asleep listening to the frogs in the pond, there's also a picnic table which provided the perfect setting for our oyster dinner.
There's water available if you need to fill up drink bottles etc, just look for a hose down by the main house.

My dogs, daughter and I loved camping on Abi's land! We would love to camp in site 1 next time, but site 3 was nice - close to the fire pit. As others have said, the hill to the sites was BRUTAL, but still worth it. We took day trips to Bethel, Steam Mill Brewing, Maggie's Nature Park, and Step Falls Preserve.

Wow, this site is such a gem! We came here after a week of camping at a crowded campground, and this was such a breath of fresh air- very private and quiet, plus lots of space for kids to run around. The shelter is bigger than expected and also stayed quite cool in the summer heat. My family slept in the shelter and we set up a tent for storing our stuff. We appreciated the little touches like the string of lights and the clothesline. The star gazing was amazing. Fantastic location and was nice to come back to our quiet site after a busy day at Acadia. Jones Pond is a quick drive away and a great spot for fishing, kayaking, and swimming.

Hipcamp was a great find! Secluded, with private beach access—just what we were looking for. Tucked away in the woods and away from the crowds, we had the place mostly to ourselves.

BEAUTIFUL spot! We loved our campsite. Had tons of space and steps away from the bay. It was honestly our favorite stay and we’ve been in Maine all summer. Highly recommend it!

I came here with my boyfriend and doggo and we all absolutely loved it!! My dog was living his best life and free roaming like a wild and free animal, we thought the little wooden cabin was so adorable with lights and a perfect addition. The wine bottle was a sweet touch and a great birthday treat! The views were just like no other, just breathtaking and left me speechless everytime we looked out. The privacy was exactly what we were looking for, we felt totally secluded. Firepit was awesome! Place Easy to find. The compostable toilet and outdoor shower made it that much more convenient! 10/10 will be returning and recommending!

Dusty's land was stunning and camping directly on the bank of the river was so peaceful. The site was large and private but a short walk to the communal area and swimming hole! The site came with a trash barrel and recycling, a sitting area overlooking the river, and a picnic table. The land was flat and comfortable for tent camping. Dusty, was a amazing host; he was very responsive, friendly, and informative. If you're looking for a peaceful solo trip, romantic gateway, or fun time with the family, this is the place to be.

Beautiful!! The site was private, quiet and well maintained -- neighbors at other sites were audible, but always respectful. Everything was just a short drive away (Hodgon's Seafood was a huge hit!) and the directions for getting to and from the campsite, outhouse and water source were very clear and detailed. Thank you for a great trip!
