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.

Camper Sites were level and open, easy to get the camper in and landed. 30 Amp Power was excellent, water is provided but based on outside cold temps and low pressure, I would fill your on board freshwater tank for better results. Free firewood but bring dry kindling to start your fires with. Great Dump Station to empty your camper prior to departing. Outstanding experience if you are looking to hunt in the North Maine Woods, and you want the finer amenities with your camper rather than boondocking, please give them a look, it is worth it.

Very quiet area & we never heard any other visitors or residents around us the entire stay. Expect rustic conditions, wildlife, & lots of shade. Very modern - running water from a mountain water well, lighting, propane stove & oven, a large kitchen counter, a kitchen table with four chairs, a super comfortable leather chair & ottoman, a jackknife sofa, a queen bed, & a set of bunk beds. There is also a very new wood burning stove with lots of wood. There is also a wall heater that is fueled by propane. Stocked with cutlery, service utensils, glasses, & mugs. Has a large Blackstone grill under cover. Chairs around the outside of the property. Owners supplied a large cooler.
• Outdoor sink. Two large picnic tables. Typical outhouse, is very new & close to front door. State owned bathroom just a few minute drive.
• Large outdoor shower with HOT water near front door.
• All amenities very easy to use just follow the directions.
• Mountain trails for hikes for every level of hiker with signs of wildlife.
• Nearby - Produce stand called Arnold’s Farm Market nearby.
• Fort Kent –Canadian Border Crossing & the Swamp Bucket restaurant.
• Presque Isle - coffee shops & The Riverside Inn Restaurant.

Joseph and Claire are the nicest people you will ever meet. Claire greeted me at check-in and escorted me down the road to my site. She shared that there was not too much to explore in the area and I may bet bored. I informed her that I enjoyed road cycling and she offered a variety of options of varying distances. I found the surrounding towns to have plenty of activities for me. There was a wonderful hiking trail in the town of Houlton, as well as a driving range and a beautiful 9 hole golf course just a few miles away from Joseph and Claire's. I was never bored. Even when I strained my knee hiking, I caught up on reading and the latest stages of the Tour de France. :-)
The family owns and operates their farmland (over 100 acres), so they are busy and depending on the season, there may be equipment moving about. I grew up close to farms, so I enjoy the sound of tractors, ATVs and the like. Make sure to take advantage of their berry picking.
As a bonus, I was having problems with my electrical system and Joseph came over and was able to troubleshoot it in minutes. You can feel the strong family values the moment you meet them. Stop in and see for yourself.
