The Kingdom Pit

5 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · Belfast, ME

This is an old gravel pit that is in the process of returning back to nature. Lots of huge piles of rocks that resemble a sci fi landscape. Wetlands, forest and fields and lots of sandy, gravel areas to park....as well some rather rugged areas not so accessible that are in the process of remediation. There is a lot of wide open sky for night viewing. Slowly adding gardens and fruit trees and making trails through the forest. We have water drilled but not yet accessible for use. Next year!! The property is off grid and there is no outhouse so self contained units only. Out house coming 2024! The Kingdom Road is often labeled Hidden Valley Road. We are one mile down the road from Route 3, half hour West of Belfast. There are 100 acres surrounded by Timberlands to explore. There is a small vernal pond we are hoping to keep filled once the well (at 50 gallons a minute!!) is accessed by solar. We swim in it when the rains are plentiful. Feel free to make a fire pit in the gravel pit. Please use all available wood for your fires!! Lots of it! Note that the road is often called Hidden Valley as well as Kingdom Road. This whole area is called "The Kingdom."
