We have a campsite near Lake George in Skowhegan and we added a few sites to share with friends and family. We are going to rent out few places to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. This is a tent but we have included some of the comforts of home. There is power to charge your phone, AC to keep you cool, a refrigerator to keep your drinks cold, lights and a coffee maker.
There’s a separate communal bathroom with showers. From the campsite you can take a 10 minute walk down to the lake or you can spend the day hiking. You can drive down to the boat landing and put your kayak in the water or continue up the road to enjoy a nice sandy beach.

This place was perfect for a weekend getaway. We spent family time playing board games, running around the field, and looking at the stars. The Cabin of Troy had everything we needed. We highly recommend it and hope to visit again soon!

1 night at Ferncrest Acadia
Ferncrest Acadia is so special! It’s a brand new place, and they’ve absolutely nailed it. The location is perfect!! Peaceful, surrounded by nature, and still super close to Acadia and all the little towns and hikes nearby.
The geodome was insanely cozy and felt so luxurious! Like the perfect mix of comfort and nature. We slept like babies and never wanted to leave!
And the stargazing? Out of this world. We laid outside for hours just watching the sky—I've never seen stars like that before. It felt totally magical.
You can even pick fresh blueberries right on the property, which was such a fun bonus. Every little detail was so thoughtful, and everything just felt easy.
We already can’t wait to come back. If you’re headed to Maine, Ferncrest Acadia needs to be on your list!!

The cabin is large and has a sleeping loft and two cots. The wood stove heats up quick and keeps you warm all night long! Love the outdoor fire pit.

Great place. Heavier than you may think to lug everything in so be prepared. Be careful about signage. We walked half a mile up hill in freezing rain for the Joe and Doe cabin but it was the wrong way.

The Pond Cabin is a sweet spot in a beautiful, mixed hardwood forest on the edge of Little Dyer Pond. The wood stove kept us warm and cozy. The Barred Owls hooting at night was a special treat.

The cabin was great! Big enough for more than just two people. I have been coming here for years. The cots in this cabin are a nice touch, just wish we could move them around. A few things to note though, the wood stove in the Joe & Doe cabin takes HOURS to heat up, and you need to constantly feed it. Not like the other wood stoves in the other cabins up there. Also, the people before us didn’t bring any wood inside to dry out before we got there and there were no wood chips in the outhouse. The cabins are great, but the price has gone up a lot, and it doesn’t look like they are being checked in on as much as they used to be.

The cabin was a great spot for a group of buddies to get away for a quick trip. Heading into the cabin in the dark made for a great surprise in the morning with the very interesting terrain and forests around.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley Nature Center
We've been going to Pond Cabin for five years now. It's a super special place, though it has significantly negatively changed with ownership changes and since it came onto this website, Hipcamp. One main concern from our last stay is that the outhouse at Pond Cabin is absolutely full - it's pretty gross. It needs to be dealt with ASAP. I don't see how the Midcoast Conservancy can continue to charge these enormously inflated prices while not having a serviceable bathroom option. We're of course happy to pee outside when camping, but this land is very public and there needs to be a private bathroom option when charging nearly $200 a night to stay in the woods. It's absurd. HVNC has to deal with this before winter really sets in. It's inappropriate to charge what they do without any maintenance of the outhouses.

Yet another spectacular trip to Joe & Doe cabin! This is an incredible place to connect with friends and with all that the Midcoast's forests have to offer. Thank you to Midcoast Conservancy for all you do at HVNC.
