Weekend Trip to Waters Edge @ Eweturnfarm
We loved the Maple Grove site! Nothing like waking up in the morning, having cocoa by the fire with a $1 million view.
The site is private but yet close to everything. And bed is super cozy! We are always sad to leave!

Razell and Bentley were amazing! I got into town late at night and they still took the time to walk me through how to get there on the phone and then take me out to the site. The site was amazing, beautiful views and remote enough to really feel like camping. The campsite was stocked with wood and grilling supplies (even stocked with eggs from the farm) when I got there. The site was very clean and well taken care of, you can tell they genuinely care about your experience. Will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic stay at our camper spot in Boothbay, ME. The site was spacious, peaceful, and surprisingly close to town—perfect for both relaxing and exploring. One of the highlights was the quick walk to the waters, which made morning strolls and sunrise views incredibly easy. Sunsets are only a short drive away on Ocean Point.
We spent time hiking through several Boothbay Regional Land Trust preserves, which offered beautiful scenic views and a great variety of trails.
Would absolutely love to come back again. Kari was great to work with. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quiet getaway with easy access to everything Boothbay has to offer.

Great location to explore the Boothbay Harbor area. It is just the right size camp. The electric and water are great to have. We are in a campervan and only need a household plug which this site has. Stars were beautiful and night quiet. The site is private but not isolated. There is light foot, bike and car traffic. We road our bikes all around. Grimes Cove Beach, lunch at the Bluebird Ocean Point Inn, hikes Ocean Point Preserve and Linekin and Burley Preserve. Saw some eagles. We explored Boothbay Harbor area. The East Boothbay General Store has really good breakfast sandwiches and other wonderful items. We would stay again.

Razell and Bentley were very kind and welcoming hosts! We loved staying at their campsite and enjoyed easy access to the water. The bed was comfortable and clean and the covering over the kitchen area was a game changer when a storm rolled in. We were kept nice and dry in the tent and enjoyed every second despite the heavy rain. Plenty of firewood was provided, which we so appreciated, and we made good use of the kayaks (another amazing perk of this site!). The outhouse was clean and easy to take care of while there. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

We had a great night on David's property. Their garden and field of sunflowers were beautiful and the site was very private and perfect for our group of four people and four dogs. They kindly tied their dog up so that it wouldn't venture over to our grumpy dogs. The tent sites were level and the perfect consistency for putting in stakes, the firewood was very dry and easy to access, and we bought a lemon blueberry sourdough and some jam at the farmstand that we enjoyed! The picnic table, which looked new, was very nice and the toilet is the nicest toilet I have ever seen camping and deserves a shout out of its own. David was also extremely responsive on the app and was very accommodating of our last minute reservation! We hiked up Singlepole Mountain to the quarry on our way out (about 15 mins away) and got a great view from only about a mile of hiking.

Weekend Trip to Waters Edge @ Eweturnfarm
I couldn’t recommend Maple Grove high enough. Razell & Bentley were super helpful and friendly, and the site itself is beautiful. You feel a world away, despite having all the conveniences of a city nearby should you need them. It’s truly peaceful, cosy and the kayaking was such a great addition. There’s plenty of flora and fauna to spot, and sitting out by the fire of an evening, cooking and stargazing was wonderful. I came all the way from the UK, and I’m hoping to visit again ASAP. I only wish I stayed longer. Thank you!
