26mi from Dexter · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
Our home is a winter wonderland that can be enjoyed in all seasons. Almost 200 acres of mild to adventurous hiking in heavy wooded forest, but if you prefer an easy walk there are 30 acres of Balsam fir Christmas trees with a great view from any angle. This is a working tree farm that dates back to the 60s.
Park your camper or pop a tent at the top of our fields for a view of the Belfast Bay on a clear day. Or tuck into the trees beyond it for seclusion and shade.
Anywhere you camp is a great place to take in the fall colors of the Maples, Poplar, Oak and Birch in the surrounding woodlands.
20 minutes from Bangor - shopping, restaurants, venues, etc.
30 minutes to Belfast - small coastal town w/ shops, great food, ocean views.
15 minutes to Monroe Country Store for homemade pizza, baked goods and bevvies.
15 minutes to Tattooed Dad Brewery in Jackson w/ live music.

George Deering owned these acres and worked as a farmer in the early to mid 1900's, my parent's acquired the property in 1991 and it has since been passed on to me.
Learn more about this land:
Pitch your tent in the field or near the wood line with a beautiful view; quiet and peaceful but close to amenities, a half mile away in the Town of Brooks.
There is some availability for campers; although no hook-ups!

The Evergreen Conservation Area was recognized as a federal conservation area starting in 2020. There are several miles of well maintained trails through the deep forest and along the pristine waterfront.
This is a secluded conservation area with two remote cabins. This is a unique opportunity: you will have the entire conservation area and the two mini cabins just for your group. (Even if you only have one person or a small group you are still welcome to reserve the site.)

I had a nice stay here. The privy was clean and it's only 30-40 minute drive from Bangor. The sites are on a slight grade of a hill but it isn't that bad and they each have a fire ring and picnic table with a trash can.

Weekend Trip to Evergreen Conservation Area
I loved staying on Dan’s property. His camp provided everything my group needed for a relaxing fall weekend getaway: spectacular views, accommodating infrastructure, and absolute solitude. You can tell he’s put a lot of thought and energy into the property (and the Hipcamp experience ), which made the entire stay seamless and inviting. We will be back!
Pro Tips: 1) arrive before dark to get your bearings, 2) pack light (it’s a good hike to the lake) and the rocky, rooty trail is not wagon-friendly, 3) Download offline Google maps and give yourself extra time for arrival because it’s way out there and GPS/cell service is spotty at best.

Dan was a gracious host with two cabins that were fit for anyone trying to get away for a long off grid weekend!
Kayaks and canoes that are available make this spot that much more amazing.
If you are trying to get away with your dog and not worry about any neighbors.. this is the spot.
10/10 recommend this gem of a spot with an amazing host!

This place had it all! I loved being next to the river. It was quiet and peaceful. The campsite was private. The host gave us space so we could really get away from it all. The campsite was also very clean and felt safe. We absolutely loved it!

Weekend Trip to Evergreen Conservation Area
Great spot with beautiful views. I had a nuthatch land on my arm in the morning like Snow White, which was a moment I’ll never forget.
Walk from car wasn’t bad but pack to consider for folks with mobility or lifting abilities.
Hoping to come back again!

Claude has a slice of paradise!! This was our second visit and we hope for many more. We stayed at Toddy this trip, and it did not disappoint. Picturesque nook on a riverbend with a fire pit and cooking grate, complete with fully stocked firewood. Picnic table, tiki torches….just a hint of glamping. Bathroom facility is clean and pleasant to use. Cheers, Claude!! We love everything about Flatrock and will be back in 2026!

my husband and i camped at the christmas tree farm for 2 nights while going to the common ground fair. it was convenient to be so close, and we had a lot of privacy and space. we enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner on our little stove top at the picnic table on top of this hill with a beautiful view of the fields and mountains. the sunrises and sunsets were absolutely divine and we slept under a bright blanket of stars! jesse was incredibly accommodating and helpful, while also giving us space to relax and enjoy our stay. our only challenge was finding a flat place to camp, but by the second night we found a spot that suited us well. i'd recommend arriving before nightfall to pick out an ideal flat camping spot if you're tent camping. cheers!

This place was absolutely amazing. It is about a quarter mile walk to the lake cabin. We had to make a couple of trips to bring our stuff in. Next time we probably pack a little lighter, or organize items as must have vs nice to have and do an inventory of available items at camp before making a second trip. But honestly, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Humans loved it, dogs LOVED it. We didn’t see any moose but the loons and eagles were constant entertainment. Can’t wait to go back!

We enjoyed staying on “Toddy” at Claude’s campground. The site was very easy to find with gps from our home and then directions for the specific site on the booking information Claude provides. This site is overlooking the water with multiple paths down the embankment to be able to fish or launch kayaks/canoes. There is one site adjacent “rockside” and both together would be perfect for a large gathering or extended family trip. The porta potty is a short walk away and was extremely clean with services done weekly. Even with the water low, the rocks were amazing to spend time on. We lost track of how many small fish we caught. My kiddo brought his bike and loved going around the loop or walking it up the hill to fly down it. Our dog loved rock climbing and swimming. Being able to stargaze out on the rocks and hear the rush of the rapids at the same time was amazing. Claude was super accommodating and came down the day after check in to make sure everything was going smoothly. He advised us where more wood was, offered to even go get some, and was happy to answer our questions about future planning for the campground.
We saw numerous animals including hawks, eagles and porcupines.
The swimming hole was refreshing over the hot weekend with the sides of the rocks making the perfect slides.
We did run into town once or twice to try out some local food and grab more ice- only a few minutes down the road.
Definitely will be back to experience Claude’s land again next year.

Wow, this place is incredible.
Dan’s provided directions were clear after we lost reception and the drive was beautiful. As chronic over-packers, we were pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy the trail to the cabin was, but once we arrived it truly felt like we were miles away from everything.
We didn’t experience the volume of bugs that another review claimed, but knowing that they typically come with the territory when one is camping in the woods, we brought repellent and had no issues at all.
I can’t say enough about this place. As lifelong Mainers, we have never heard so many loons. When the sun was out we took advantage of the canoe and nearby trails, but when it rained there was something magical about laying in bed listening to raindrops hit the roof and feeling the breeze coming through the screens. On that note, we brought our own sleeping pad but the ones provided were very comfortable.
This place is special and the only negative was that we eventually had to leave! We miss it already and we hope to be back very soon. Thank you for sharing this place, Dan!

We loved camping here! Claude is a generous host who has put a lot of love into this campground. Our site was very large, private, and had water views. The fire pit is really big. The river babbling by was a lovely soundtrack! There are some other great sites we would love to tent camp on someday as well. The Point accommodated our 21' trailer but backing in was pretty tricky. I'd only recommend it for a trailer if you have a back up camera (we don't, lol) or are a real pro. We didn't get to kayak up the river this time, we were having too much paddling around the swimming hole, and relaxing on the huge flat rock. We hope to get back!

The setting was beautiful, very peaceful and serene (granted we were there without other campers for the most part) I bought tons of things to do, but spent the first day just taking in the natural surroundings, watching inchworms fall into the water and waiting for a fish to come and dine.
We did get neighbors on our second day but the way the sites are set up you don't really see anyone. Claude was very friendly and welcoming. The areas were clean and well kept. The Flatrock area is absolutely gorgeous! When we stayed the water level was quite low but you still heard the sounds of running water which we found very soothing. Claude even offered us the use of a little row boat and we were able to paddle up the stream a bit and that was lovely. We would love to go back in the future when the water is truly running to take that in but otherwise a very pleasant host and site.
