Hole in the Wall Camping
4 sites · RVs, Tents30 acres · Strong, ME
We purchased this land a few years ago when our neighbors decided to sell. It abuts our property 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 have 2 trailer sites with power and water (non potable) and an out house. The field has several fire pits and soft grassy spaces for pitching tents. 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!

9 Acre Woods
9 sites · RVs, Tents9 acres · Montville, ME
We are proud to share this piece of Montville Maine land, which was the original home of Haystack Mountain School of Arts in the 1950's, a renowned Art school, where potters, painters, woodworkers, and others would come spend summers in communal art studios to perfect their craft! It was the first Art school that taught Raku style pottery in the USA. Serindipidiously, it is now owned by Colette Shumate-Smith- a Raku artist and painter that has spent her life both learning and teaching her craft! Located along State Rt 3, between Augusta and Belfast, you will drive through gorgeous rolling hills, and soak in some amazing views to get here!! Upon arrival you will notice the picturesque field that over looks a quaint mountain view from the valley! Sunsets are unbeatable each day, and each night you can fall asleep under a beautiful bright Milky Way! Strap on your boots and take a little hike on the property to a waterfall *overlook* in the middle of the woods! This pine woods property is magical on it's own, but in a perfect location for day trips to explore the area! Check out all Midcoast Maine has to offer, whether you like a day of shopping and a fine meal- or to lose yourself for a day of hiking, biking, kayaking- whatever your pleasure! 9 acre woods is close to Lake st. George, Liberty village, the coast of Belfast, and the China Lakes Region. A day trip by car to Acadia National Forest, Bar Harbor, or other roadside Maine stops is at your fingertips!

Many Mini Hills Forest
1 site · Tent16 acres · Thorndike, ME
We love our woodsy off grid lifestyle and are excited to share with others!
About this land:
We have a beautiful, thickly forested 16 acres 30 minutes from coastal Belfast near the Common Ground fairgrounds and Unity Pond / Lake Winnecook in Unity. We live in Wabanaki Alliance territory, on unceded Passamaquoddy land. A right-of-way going through the property offers great viewing, walking, biking, ATVing, horseback riding, birding, xc skiing, or snowmobiling. Bushwack to a swimming hole to escape the bugs and heat. Or, give us tips on our disc golf half-course (lots of putting). You will select from a variety of primitive campsites (all more than 150 feet from parking!) offering private commune with nature, and the nearby town of Unity can satisfy your need for near music, drinks, or socializing. We recommend you bring your own water, as our well is of questionable quality and far to haul. Please do not bring outside wood. We have rentable bikes and kayaks so long as you have a way to carry them... Our wonderful nephew is staying with us this summer in a yurt nearby the campsites and will be able to help with any of your needs.
