Highland cattle graze at the forest's edge on our Celtic-heritage farm: a gentle retreat with options for woodland wandering, farm-fresh breakfasts (weekdays only, must be requested one week in advance), and campfires complete with traditional Gaelic music! Our 40-acre farm includes heritage-breed animals, organic gardens, and over 30 acres of conservation woodlands. We favor scythes over tractors--your stay will be quiet and fume-free! Bradbury Mountain and several trail networks are nearby, along with rivers, ocean beaches, and an excellent locavore food scene. Since the early 1800s, this land on the edge of Chandler Brook has nourished bodies and spirits alike. Sloping pastures meet well-managed woodlands, making this a haven for both humans and wildlife. Since the 1980s, we have worked to restore the soil and make a "hand-built" life as farmers using pre-industrial organic methods. We maintain pollinator habitats, tend an orchard of heirloom-variety fruit trees, and conserve rare heritage-breed animals, including Tamworth pigs and Scottish Highland Cattle. Our shared love for Celtic folk culture has blended naturally with our love of sustainable agriculture to create Tir na nOg Farm. Today, the work of restoration continues with the help of farm partners, family, friends, WWOOFers, and other volunteers. This land is already better than we found it, but we hope it will remain a gathering-ground of culture and agriculture, tradition and innovation for generations to come.

The camp sits on 50 acres of trails, forests, fields, and more. This special spot is tucked away in southern Maine, and only 25 minutes from Interstate 95. "Rustic" is a good word to describe Bravenit Camp, but it's so much more! The newly renovated Horse Club Cabin is very spacious, but cozy. The cabin can sleep 8 comfortably, and there is plenty of room in the corral for RV's and tents. Check out the barns, the trails, and the wildlife.

We had such a great time at camp brave n it! We had acres of beautiful wooded land with hiking trails right outside our door all to ourselves! Kennebunk was a short drive away, but we honestly spent more time just enjoying our site. We also came also a local brewery up the road called Funky Bow that I definitely recommend checking out! Thank you for the memories, Sean!

This place is an absolute gem! Plenty of space and privacy. Beautiful walking trails. The outdoor shower is a fantastic perk, as is the soaking tub. Highly recommend Sean’s place! Would love to return at some point :)

The folks at the farm were super kind and it was so incredibly peaceful there! We got to watch the baby highland cow get bottle fed which was such an awesome surprise! Very easy to access from Portland too! I highly recommend going to Elevensies too if you're there on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday!

The horse corral site was private, quiet and spacious for our Van camping trip to enjoy the beautiful beaches nearby. We saw a hummingbird, a family of turkeys, and heard some very vocal owls. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. We had a great time and cant wait to return next season!

Great spot to set up camp. Site is private, located on a dead end road. A little tricky to get our 28 foot travel trailer into the horse coral but nice and level once inside. Electricity provided via extension cords worked for all our energy needs in early September and long hose from cabin worked well for water hookup. Both extension cords and long hose were at the ready for easy hook ups. We had a strong signal via T-Mobile. Picnic table, fire ring and grill were on-site as well as some nice maps showing trails on-site. Loved walking the trails with our pups. Added the hot tub experience which was well worth it-enjoyed a nice soak under the beautiful starry sky. Sean was quick to respond to any questions and a great host.

This place was perfect! Truly a campers dream, the owners are welcoming and it is exactly as advertised on the app! I loved how quiet it was and secluded it felt! The farm animals added an extra dimension to the whole experience I really enjoyed waking up to them. The well water was amazing! Will definitely be back next year for the same event I was attending this year! -Woolly Runner

My family didn't want to leave! From the beautiful trails through the wild flowers next go the pond to the cowboy hot tub under the stars and of course the warm shower on a chilly morning, our family was so at home at Bravenit. It was the perfect place to stay during our visit to Portland. Sean went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for. Thanks again for letting us stay and for all your help!!

Holly's farmstead hipcamp spot will be a place we will always have fond memories. Holly was very welcoming and accommodating showing us around when we arrived after dark. The night ski was beautiful and falling asleep to the sounds of nature was soothing. In the morning my teen son and I walked around the Farm and visited and watched the animal. It is a a spot where kids and adults can unplug from media and be immersed in nature.

Very quiet, with own firepit (grate) and wood. Water and electric (might need an adapter) on site. Bathroom and shower were top of the line. Outdoor shower was for braver souls willing to bare all to his/her animal friends. Trails go by old barns and sheds and out to fields, woods and streams. A wonderful stay that allowed quick (20 min) trips to Kennebunkport and Atlantic Ocean, too.

Weekend Trip to Tir na nOg Farm

Me and my friends had an awesome time camping here! The campsite was super quiet, and the farm was fun to be around. They sold us some amazing meat and veggies and we did a cookout our last night there. Everyone was super kind and the vibes were immaculate. It is important to keep in mind that the hosts run a working farm here, so being respectful of their time and keeping things quiet during quiet hours is important. Wasn't an issue for us, but just wanted to let future campers know. One of the fears I had while booking a campsite at a farm was that we would be disturbed by animals and farm stuff going on. That was 100% NOT the case for us. The campsites are super out of the way and tucked into corners of the farm. The farm itself is super pretty (think forest homestead, not cornfields)
