We had the best time at this site. The views were absolutely incredible. We had better sunset views from the campsite than we even would in Acadia. Having the water, electric plug, and bathroom on site was so helpful, too. We ended up tent camping, but the little house was such an added perk, too for storage, spending time together, etc. I can’t recommend this spot enough!!

Beautiful private place with a 360 view of the mountains! Completely impressed by the stone picnic table! The turn is a bit hidden so drive very slowly — we reached the top of the mountain and had to turn around because we went too far. I think the sign is a little hidden within the bushes. Otherwise, such a lovely stay! Would return!

We were a large group (10people) and this site worked really well for us! There’s an area to hang out up top with a fire pit and benches and plenty of space. Down the hill is the lake side fire pit which would have been awesome to sit at but the group was too big. I would definitely come back again- the lake was serene and quiet and paddling around the lake was so surreal. Claudia and Tom were awesome hosts- super accommodating. Thank you so much for sharing!!

We had a great time on Claudia’s land. Felt very private and like our own lake oasis. Running water, toilet, grills, fire pit, and a refreshing swim, everything we needed for a luxury feel at the end of a week long road trip. Will absolutely stay again and highly recommended!

All I can say is wow!! I booked the camp for 4 days but was really only thinking I would stay for 2-3 and thought...what the heck, if I like it I could stay the 4 days. By day 2, I never wanted to leave. The place was incredible. The stars at night were so amazing that I didn't watch any TV or get on my phone the entire time. I can't wait to go again next year!!
The camp was perfect!!! Just enough roughing it to feel like I was camping but also just enough glamp to not make me feel like I was full on camping. Absolutely perfect!!

This is our most beloved spot. We love it because of its spectacular view over Maine and the absolute privacy! We have been coming for years and were never disappointed by the place or the host. Rod has always been very forthcoming, helpful and reliable. This time he even gave us a tour to the second spot that he plans to open up next year: another spot with all the privacy you could wish for and an amazing view.
If you are looking for a spot that gives you beauty and privacy but also the closeness to Camden and Rockport for getting some hustle and bustle in summer in Maine, you are at the perfect place.
We are looking forward to come back again. And we are planning to do that in October. With a camper, it doesn't matter when it gets a little cold at night, because the view is always amazing no matter the season.

This is a beautiful spot on Gardiner Lake, great for swimming, boating, and fishing. We parked our camper van here over LDW and it was the perfect base camp to explore the Machias area. Water, campfire wood, and a port-a-potty made staying here a breeze. Next time we’ll bring a tent to stay close to the water!

The lake site is beautiful--big slabs of rock. Kayaks worked well. We enjoyed the walk for lake back up to the camping/service area. The water availability was great. We left the area "better than when we arrived by throwing away old rope scraps and fishing line and washing the well used plastic table cloth. Morning down by the lake in the sun were absolutely marvelous.

This site was absolutely incredible! We stayed here for one night and would definitely stay here again. We were able to pick some fresh blueberry’s in the morning. The views from the campsite are very nice but loved how the site had a table, chairs, and fire pit. Bugs were not an issue at all. We will definitely be returning in the future to camp here and explore more of the surrounding area.
