The land our farm is on has been in my family for generations.   It was originally part of my Great Grand Fathers dairy farm.   We took over this section of the land to create our own farm several years ago.  We raise beef, pork, chicken, and goats to sell.   We also have several horses on the farm.    The camping spot has been used by our family for years hosting “back forty” parties and weekend getaways.  The pond was dug by my grandfather over 40 years ago for irrigation.    It is no longer used for that and has become a wonderful frog pond that is stocked with trout.    Over the last few years, we upgraded the camping area with a shed, outhouse, fire pit and granite bench, and a bean hole bean pit.  The shed is used for firewood storage and other camp items.     We have direct access to the ATV/Multi use trail system that can take you all over Central Maine.   We have mowed waking trails around the property and acres of woods to explore.

Weekend Trip to Back Forty Camping at its best

Amazing spot! This was one of our best Hipcamp experiences. Quiet, private spot with amazing sunrise views. Cory was very communicative and gave great directions. The site is located back from the road and working farm so you feel remote. There are tons of amenities in the area, and it was a great place to explore Moosehead and the Belgrade areas. We can’t wait to return.

We had a short but really nice visit. You have be ready for rustic vibe. It was cozy and the electric heater came in handy. I wish we had more time to explore the grounds but we were just passing through. Would absolutely recommend a visit.

We had an amazing stay at Bradly’s 700-acre property! 🌲 The campsite was private, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The clean water made it even better, and our dogs absolutely loved exploring the land. My fiancé and I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. It was exactly what we needed. Bradly was a great host, and everything about the experience felt easy and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to River site 700 acres in north Maine

We had an absolutely amazing experience at this off grid campsite! The location was beautiful, with a peaceful river and crystal-clear water that made the setting so refreshing and relaxing. Our dogs loved it just as much as we did, running around and enjoying the wide open space. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, which really added to the whole experience. Bradly gave us awesome directions and made everything super easy to find. My fiancé and I had such a great time together here! It was exactly the kind of peaceful getaway we were hoping for. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

Weekend Trip to Mullen Grove

Wow! Where does one start. It was the most peaceful 4 days I have had in almost 40 years. Everyone there was so nice, friendly and engaging. My dog and I enjoyed walks around the property and just relaxed. The accomodations were perfect, clean and just overall fantastic. I would definitely encourage everyone who is visiting the area to stay here. I have already started scheduling my next visit and will without a doubt stay there each time I visit which should be several times in the coming 12 months. Summing up the entire experience in 2 words would be .... Absolutely Wonderful! Thank you again Rebecca and please continue to push forward on your projects as daunting as they may seem at times. Looking back you and everyone who stays there will appreciate everything even more knowing that it was built by hand and hard work. Thank You so much for making our getaway absolutely perfect!
