The point is our home, offered to guests as a place for seekers of peace and solace to gain a better relationship and appreciation with nature in a world that has forgotten the importance and connection we all have with the planet that sustains us. A priority here for me is keeping this land pristine and respected. Our mission to save and protect our natural environment and keep it natural and wild can only be accomplished with the active mindfulness of you. We aim to prove that hipcamp can be a magical experience for private landowners and campers alike, to provide a means of temporal community and beneficial alternative to traditional campgrounds; one that does not degrade the environment and break the peace that small towns still contain. Please be mindful of the trash you generate and mindful of the noise you are making— we aim to provide seekers of peace a *quiet* time in nature. Together we are here to be an example to others of what mindful camping can look like in this changing world.

Ideal for both tent camping and campers. The 10 total acreage of the Woodlot Farm Camp'n area is all you need for a magical, down east Maine camping experience. The land consists of beautiful hard and soft wood trees, while the non-wooded 2 acres includes a wide, horse-shoe gravel driveway for parking, a small pig pen, a chicken run/coop, small pond, over-grown grassy area and garden space. A 24' cargo trailer is stationed onsite next to a small solar shed in the chicken area. There is driveway space to park 2 vehicles, and 1 camper. The entrance to the Woodlot Farm is off of Steam Mill Rd, which turns into a fantastic, popular jeep/ATV rd at the property. This rd is also used for hiking, and mountain biking in summer/fall when drier. ATV enthusiasts can pitch a tent here at the trail, which connects to the local lakes, and numerous other trails. Mill Cove is a magical view point destination, and a brief cruise from the farm at just 1.4 miles / 4 minutes down the road. This popular attraction is the nearest beach on the Passamaquoddy Bay. Woodlot Farm is the small-scale, organic farm that is currently not in operation on. The area is especially peaceful for campers, with just a small, quiet family who camp onsite part-time in a camper. Star gazing is recommended on clear nights as the light pollution is very low. The owl hoots and other wildlife are an audible treat that connect us to the surrounding natural world. Include Woodlot Farm Camp'n to your adventure.

We enjoyed the beach, and I would highly consider coming back at a warmer time. The campsite we stayed at wasn’t as big as it looked in photos, so there was some maneuvering near the old house to fit our two tiny trailers. It was an hour to the main Acadia entrance, but so beautiful out there. If camping in tick season, bring spray and check your dogs. We were covered. Beach was 100/10.

We had the best time at this site. The views were absolutely incredible. We had better sunset views from the campsite than we even would in Acadia. Having the water, electric plug, and bathroom on site was so helpful, too. We ended up tent camping, but the little house was such an added perk, too for storage, spending time together, etc. I can’t recommend this spot enough!!

This stop was perfect! Alice did a great job of giving her guests privacy on their campsite and also a community feel around the fire. She stopped by and was so kind and recommended great spots for photography. Myself and the other guests there agreed it was our favorite Hipcamp spot yet. Thank you for everything!

I can’t say enough great things about this spot! My dog and I stayed for two and a half months and easily could have stayed twice as long. -The location is perfect — tucked in a residential area that offers plenty of privacy and peace, yet surrounded by friendly neighbors so it never feels isolated. You’re close to everything: most Acadia trails on Mount Desert Island are within a 25-minute drive, with many even closer (10-15 minutes). Bar Harbor is just 10 minutes away, offering great restaurants, shops, boat tours, and more. -The Wi-Fi is fast and reliable — I work remotely full-time from my rig and never had a single issue, even with constant Zoom and Teams video meetings. -Scott, the host, is fantastic — friendly, responsive, and genuinely welcoming, with excellent local recommendations. -It’s also a dog-friendly spot. There’s plenty of grassy space for short walks, and the lawn was mowed weekly, which I really appreciated. -The full hookups were in excellent condition and worked perfectly. There’s even a garden hose attached to the water line for convenience. -Parking was a breeze — the site is spacious and easy to maneuver into no matter the size of your rig. I live in a 30-foot Airstream and had no trouble backing in at all. Overall, this was one of my favorite stays — private, convenient, well-maintained, and hosted by someone who truly cares. Highly recommend!

Nice camping setup, with a dishwashing station, fire ring, picnic bench with umbrella, and a cart to wheel in bags from the parking lot. All to share among the several campsites. Host also has camping equipment to rent at a good rate (tents, sleeping bags), which allayed concerns in case anything failed.

This campground was the perfect place for us "home" during our fall visit to Acadia. We are a self-contained unit when we are on the road. That being said, it was nice to hook upto power and refill our water tank during our stay. It was also nice to have hot showers available. The campground was quiet at night. I slept well at night. The site was very close to all of the hikes on MDI. Some just down the road, trailheads no more than a 30 minute drive away. The site firm ground and fairly level. Perfect for our campervan. Being on the westside of MDI, it is away from the constant traffic that you face near Bar Harbor. We would recommend staying here.

Very scenic sites. Close to Acadia. LShowers and bathrooms were extremely clean and appeared brand new. Sites are close together. Our first night was not full so we had plenty of privacy. The second night we had fellow campers in very close proximity. Not a deal breaker, but something to know. The bathrooms, showers and location are hard to beat.
