If you are looking for a place to camp that is remote, quiet, well maintained and has some of the most picturesque views from your campsite and beyond, look no further than Orange Gate Sites! They offer anything that you are looking for in outdoor accommodations. From a spacious RV site, (or in our case, a full size school bus) to a tent site for the more adventurous, to a cozy cabin with many amenities to make your stay more comfortable. Orange Gate Sites is clean, has ready to burn firewood, sturdy fire pits that you can even cook your meals on, and clean outdoor toilets. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and want to thank our hosts for a fabulous weekend!

Site was clean, roomy, quiet, and very private. There were ample trees around but a clear view of the sky for Starlink. Jane communicated with us in advance and made sure that we had clear directions to the site. We were visiting friends in Castine and this was a perfect home base for our visit.

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!

We stayed in site 1 and we loved the privacy of our site. It was spacious and had both sunny and shady areas. I was able to put my solar panels out to charge the battery and they got full sun. I also left them out for two days without worrying about them getting stolen or something. Jane was responsive, communicated with us as needed and met us on our arrival. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend Jane's place.

Great easy spot to camp. Jane was an excellent host. We were in for a quick stop on a road trip and it was perfect. The beach was only 5 min down the road!

It was the perfect spot to camp for our bioluminescence kayak tour. It was very close to town but very quiet and in the country. Large site for our tent with a soft ground. Great, communicative host. We would definitely stay again.

What wonderful hosts and lovely campsite too! They were very attentive and helped us when we didn't realize the site was off grid. The bathrooms and showers were clean and cute. We are already talking about booking again

3 nights at Porcupine Creek Rustic Camping
This was one of the best camp sites I’ve ever stayed at. Cathy and Jeff were so kind and greeted us at the site even when traffic made us late for check in. Even though we had campers directly to the left of us, the site was spaced out/secluded enough that you could barely notice. The campsite came equipped with everything you could need, firewood (& starter material), bug zapper racket, lights, covered picnic table, fire pit with a grill, non-potable water, and even shower bags. Speaking of showers, the bathroom facilities were so nice! Our hosts were also always available in case we needed anything. Can’t recommend this place enough! Thanks Jeff and Cathy!

Jesse’s land was beautiful and quiet just what we were looking for to enjoy for an evening on our way north. The views and sunset were a highlight! Would definitely stay here again.

LOVED my time spent here at Sublime! Jane and her husband were super cool! It was absolutely peaceful, clean and private! I drive 5 minutes to Wadsworth Cove Beach in the morning and also for a pretty sunset. The “downtown” is also about five minutes with two shops to get small bites and things. Loved it!! 💕🏕️

We loved camping at Jeff and Cathy’s Woodchuck acres. It’s really clear they care about the people staying there. We had a great time. I’d definitely stay again and would love to try the owl’s nest or tree house! Thank you!

I had a great stay in Castine thanks to this Hipcamp! The hosts were friendly and easy to reach through the app. I stayed at site one which was great for a tent and a little more private than site 2 as it was surrounded by trees on three sides. Very simple setup. The two sites are basically attached to each other though so I was lucky to be the only one there during my stay. The campsite was clean and freshly mowed when I arrived. It was a little buggy when it wasn’t windy when I was there in June and the second day was windy so be sure to keep everything solidly in place. I brought a camp toilet but ended up preferring to just use the public restrooms in Castine. They’re open 24/7 with parking right outside the building and only 5-10 minutes down the road. I also often stopped at public restrooms at libraries, stores, or grocery stores while out and about.
Nearby I’d recommend coffee at bucklyn coffee in blue hill and you can fuel up and gas ice at their Hanford grocery stores while. The blue hill library is also fantastic and I picked up some used books about Maine there. The Stone fox ice cream truck down by the harbor was excellent and better servings than the dairy port imo.
I’d also highly recommend Castine kayak adventures (especially the bioluminescent paddle), Wadsworth cove beach and the lupine meadow nearby called “hatch cove preserve” at the turnoff for the beach which was in full bloom during my stay in June.
