9.1mi from Lubec · 9 sites · Tents, RVs

We have four raised platforms, accessible by car, each with a canvas-covered A-frame Each platform is nested in their own private setting around the edges of our 12-acre organic blueberry barren. All four platforms are fully screened-in, with stylish canvas-covered timberframes and circular red doors. These canvas tents are relatively bug-proof and waterproof; you do not need to bring a tent! You do need to bring your own bedding. ***If you are particularly sensitive to bugs, you may want to bring your own tent (to put inside our tent) or a mosquito net. This is the Northeast during the summertime, we cannot ensure there will be no bugs. Blueberry Land is part of Smithereen Farm, but is located around the corner from our Home Farm on Youngs Cove Road, near Reversing Falls. This is an off grid, rustic site with only a port-a-potty. If you need to use any other amenities, you are welcome to use the WIFI, fill your water bottles, charge your electric vehicle and buy supplies at the Smithereen Farmstore (12 Little Falls Road, Pembroke). We sell cold drinks, beer and wine, frozen fish, meat, our own fruit popsicles, also organic veggies, honey, products from many local and Maine farms, camping supplies, ready to eat food, snacks, chocolates and even fresh baked cookies. Park at the store, and then jump into the Pennamaquan River (two dams, a rope swing) to cool off after exploring the town. Note: there is no potable water at the site, you will need to bring a vessel and fill up in town. There are beautiful walking, biking and canoeing opportunities in every direction—check out Cobscook Shores, Downeast Coastal Conservancy trails by Reversing Falls, Maine Coast Heritage trails on the Bold Coast and at Sipps Bay, Nature Conservancy trail at Hersey Point, Shackford head at Eastport, and of course much more on Campobello. Blueberry bushes are low, native, fruit-growing, covered in flowers in spring and then berries in summer, turning bright bright red in the fall when kissed by frost. Our blueberries are certified organic by MOFGA and surrounded by birch, fir, spruce and flowering perennial beds to improve insect habitat. Please DO NOT DRIVE/ tread ON THE BERRIES, they are food that we harvest and sell! Park in the parking lot, three sites are immediately visible, the fourth site is a further drive down the road, past the port-o-potty, in the back field, to the left. Low hung vehicles beware! If in doubt park in the parking lot. Upon booking, we will send you a PDF welcome packet filled with helpful information about the farm, local sites to see, and a comprehensive list of our recommendations. We will say it again: remember to prepare for MOSQUITOES in summer! We really recommend you approach Washington County as an opportunity to PICNIC! The "dining out" options are limited. Bring a pocketknife, a frying pan, a big cooler for butter and milk with ice packs so you can pick up local crabmeat (Betty's Crabmeat) and mayo and salads (Smithereen Farmstore) and eggs from ends of driveways, bring a cutting board—a big water jug, a camp stove/kettle, more warm socks than you think you need... and a sense of adventure! We have a EAT DOWNEAST digital map, guidebook and brochure at the Farmstore you can pick up a copy or download from our website. Thank you for taking the time to support supporting local farmers and food businesses of Washington County! We wish you a pleasant stay all the way DOWNEAST!

8. River to Lake Camping and Cabin

14mi from Lubec · 2 sites · Tents, RVs

Explore the beauty of coastal downeast Maine from this quiet solar powered cabin and campsite along the Pennamaquon River. This remote property is surrounded by woods and connects two beauties--the Pennamaqoun Lake and Passamaquody Bay. The rocky Maine Coast, Reversing falls, the Sunrise Trail and the Moosehorn Wildlife Refuge are all nearby. Going up the river about 1/4 of a mile you will find yourself on a quiet lake where you are more likely to see an eagle than a person. About a 1/4 of a mile downriver you will come to a popular swim hole and rope swing. In the spring you might see spawning alewives. You may see ducks, eagles, king fisher, heron, beaver, turtles (or their nests) and loon right from the dock. You won't need your binoculars to catch site of the occasional Mainer floating by in a handmade wooden boat. If you wave, you might get a wave back. It's a soul restoring place appreciated most by those who like human powered activities--like kayaks, canoes and paddle boards (all provided) and a chance to cook on an open fire. There is a picnic table and 4 Adirondack chairs and no wifi. You might also like to swim or float down the river in an inner tube. You can fish on the dock or from your boat. If you have a bike-- head to the nearby Sunrise Trail or country roads. Head there too, if you have shoes and want a measured run (it goes about 87 miles through field, forest, swamp and bog with mileage noted). Eastport is a nearby seaside town with an arts center, shops and dining about 15 minutes away. You can go whale watching and you might just see porpoise, whales, eagles and Old Sow Whirlpool, the largest whirlpool in the Americas. Or stay on shore, and hunt for sea glass and cool rocks. Grab something to eat while you are there, and check out Don Dunbar's amazing nature photography and local gifts. There is also coastal hiking at Shackford Head. You might also head towards Lubec (about 45 minutes) and go on a coastal hike on the Bold Coast trail, or visit the Quoddy Head Lighthouse or cross the bridge into Canada and visist Campobello. Do not miss Monica and her handmade chocolates! You can also head North on Route 1 and go to Canada, just 30 minutes away. Hope to see you with children and dogs!

Amazing site. I have a Silverado 1500 and a 6x12 (plus 2’ of trailer tongue) and was able to pull down, back to the precipice of the hill down to fire pit, unhook and reposition truck, hook up and pull up to back it into position. Anything bigger cannot and would need to be backed in. A skilled driver would easily reverse down. Pit toilet is well maintained, site is directly on a private lake and veryyyy quiet in October. I highly recommend this site ANY time of year! The tree line between sites was very privatizing, I never felt exposed to anyone’s site next door. Excellent experience at this Hipcamp, the area was what I wanted for exploring, and Helen’s restaurant was worth eating at several times. I look forward to returning.

This property is awesome! Secluded and totally private with a beautiful view of the lake- plus water, electricity, and sewer if you need it! There is an outhouse but the system they use keeps it better than most any porta potty you’ll find. I failed to take photos, but definitely recommend this spot!

Conner’s Landing is an exceptional place. Not only is there everything provided that you need - water, sewer, and 30A/50A service, but it is very very private and definitely off-the-beaten path. The lakeside site is great for launching a kayak or canoe. We had kayaks and getting them in and out was no issue. We brought a 30ft travel trailer, pulled it straight in and still had plenty of maneuvering room. My tow vehicle is huge - a crew cab dually with an 8ft bed. If you like serenity, a peaceful lakeside site, and loons singing to you, you’ll fall in love with Conner’s Landing.

We were a large group (10people) and this site worked really well for us! There’s an area to hang out up top with a fire pit and benches and plenty of space. Down the hill is the lake side fire pit which would have been awesome to sit at but the group was too big. I would definitely come back again- the lake was serene and quiet and paddling around the lake was so surreal. Claudia and Tom were awesome hosts- super accommodating. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Weekend Trip to Conor's Landing

We really enjoyed our stay at conners landing. Was easy to navigate to, close to all the hiking we wanted to do, and lake access meant we could enjoy some kayaking right from the site too. There is a well house, with a very long garden hose already hooked up. An extension cord was available, but our normal power cord was just long enough to reach the pole. As was mentioned in another review; be mindful that there's no turning around with a trailer down at the site. Our camper door is on the passenger side, so we opted to pull in and disconnect. There was plenty of room to get the truck back past while the camper was set up. We were able to back the trailer back up the hill just fine. The privacy this site offers will never be matched by an rv campground. The amenities make it very comfortable.

This is a beautiful spot on Gardiner Lake, great for swimming, boating, and fishing. We parked our camper van here over LDW and it was the perfect base camp to explore the Machias area. Water, campfire wood, and a port-a-potty made staying here a breeze. Next time we’ll bring a tent to stay close to the water!

Beautiful & peaceful spot. We heard owls and critters slipping into the water while making our dinner. The cabin was a comfortable refuge from the rain. The owners are kind and attentive. Since this is a very open site, we do recommend that folks bring a popup shelter.

The lake site is beautiful--big slabs of rock. Kayaks worked well. We enjoyed the walk for lake back up to the camping/service area. The water availability was great. We left the area "better than when we arrived by throwing away old rope scraps and fishing line and washing the well used plastic table cloth. Morning down by the lake in the sun were absolutely marvelous.

Justin's site was perfect! It is simple, but thoughtfully designed and quite comfortable. It is absolutely quiet and private. The lake is lovely, with very few camps, and in the five days we were there, we did not see a single boat. Justin was immediately available and responsive if we had any questions or needed anything. I would highly recommend this site.

Great, easy to access spot. The farm store was lovely and a great landing pad and place to return to for treats, treasures, literature and connection. The guide was thoughtful and well planned out. We used it to source food and adventures. We chose to set up our own tent inside the triangle tents just because we are used to it and it fit our sleep system well but I think we’d have been comfortable without it. The land itself had so many birds that we just sat outside with binoculars for hours. We also heard a porcupine mating call for the first time. Just a nice warm place to be. 100% recommend and would definitely return in the future.
