We are NOT a campground. We are opening our home and farm for travelling visitors to have a safe place to rest at a reasonable price. Those that wish to have an extended stay here are welcome, but please do not expect the amenities of a campground. We are a humble, small, family-operated, diversified farm spanning 180 acres. Alongside raising thirteen children, we take pride in cultivating u-pick blueberries, raspberries, apples, and pumpkins, as well as raising meat poultry and laying hens. Our farm also boasts a variety of livestock, including cows for dairy products and beef, egg-layers, and sheep. Notably, our children are actively involved in caring for and utilizing riding and driving horses.
Located not too far from the North Woods, the Allagash, Mt. Kathadin, and numerous lakes, we are surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty.
Please note: No generators except for medical purposes, upon pre-approval. No unattended outdoor lights. We enjoy our quiet and dark skies without pollution. Garbage is carry in, carry out unless paid for under extras. Thank you.

Mike and Jane were incredibly kind and wonderful hosts. They greeted us upon our arrival and provided all the information we needed (and more!) including their contact information, nearby stores and amenities, and other advice. Mike and Jane gave recommendations of what to see in the area to make the most of our short trip. The campsite was perfect - we easily parked our 32' RV into the space, equipped with electric and water hookups (they had a black tank hookup too, if needed). The site was very well-maintained. We enjoyed a campfire and admired the clear night sky. Our two large dogs also enjoyed the ample space to sniff and stretch their legs. Would highly recommend!

Hands down the BEST hipcamp in Maine. It's truly private. The host lives down the street. The towns around is charming! You're right on the same road as the katahdin monument which when we went there was no one.else besides us! We also took the multi hour trip to the Ghost trains have been abandoned for almost 100 years and should be on uour bucket list for Maine. While there is a grocery store and a couple places to dine out..most fast food and chain restaurants are at least 40 minutes away so it's best to prepare food at home. There are great Amish stores nearby too! The host sells fire wood and maple syrup. You have a beautiful pull through level lot, a fire ring and full hook ups and they will even take care of your trash. I would have stayed longer if we didn't have plans elsewhere. We stayed for 2 weeks and I highly recommend staying more than just a couple days. You cant beat the price either. If we come back to Maine this will be out #1 pick.

Mikes land was awesome! Nice big yard, fire pit, reasonably priced firewood, plenty of space. Although somewhat close to the road, it was quiet. The little garage on the property had some roof for storage that we were able to use for our motorcycles! It was awesome! We weren’t expecting that perk. Easy to pull in and out (essentially a pull through site). Lots of walking to do around the potato fields. Will absolutely be back!
