Sometimes I resist writing a good review because we all want to keep hidden gems hidden. I love this place. The location was easy to find, close to groceries and gas, and the host couldn’t be more welcoming, warm and gracious. We tented with a lake view which gave us access to the bathhouse. Not heated, but hot showers. The property is clean and well maintained, with beach and water access. Will be back again!

My wife and I had the best trip of the year staying at Art’s camp, he has put so much time and effort into ensuring that campers have everything they need. The property is so beautiful and the shower is great. We immediately connected, he is a good man and really cares about the people who come to camp there. He recommended several places to fish and eat while we were there as well as places to hike. All in all a really awesome experience for our first time with HipCamp.

I agree with all the other nice things said in the previous reviews! I didn't have any issue getting to sleep in my tent in the tent/RV spots just off the road, the distance between the road and camp + the line of trees really helped, but I'm also not a light sleeper, so take that into account! Art was a great and accommodating host, wish we could've spent a bit more time. Definitely secluded/private but still with all of the comforting amenities!

Art was the best as a host... Responsive and so enthusiastic about his surroundings. The accomodations [up the hill for me] were clean and plentiful. Art even offered to open the cabin for me if I wished. Especially appreciated was the bottled water to refill my cantene as I did a lot of outside work in the sun...nice to know the water was so pure. The sight is a bit close to the transfer station for my likes; however, for those in tents or the lovely little cabins up the hill this would not be a problem. Also not a problem at night and on the weekends. Oxford County in Maine is my stomping grounds. I hope many of you will come and visit. You will love Agape!

We had the whole place to ourselves with pick of the land. This was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of adventures! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing 3 wild turkeys and waking up to the sound of the leaves in the trees above rustle in the wind. If you want a slice of peace, camp here.
