28mi from Wiscasset · 8 sites · Tents, Lodging · Pownal, ME

Highland cattle graze at the forest's edge on our Celtic-heritage farm: a gentle retreat with options for woodland wandering, farm-fresh breakfasts (weekdays only, must be requested one week in advance), and campfires complete with traditional Gaelic music! Our 40-acre farm includes heritage-breed animals, organic gardens, and over 30 acres of conservation woodlands. We favor scythes over tractors--your stay will be quiet and fume-free! Bradbury Mountain and several trail networks are nearby, along with rivers, ocean beaches, and an excellent locavore food scene. Since the early 1800s, this land on the edge of Chandler Brook has nourished bodies and spirits alike. Sloping pastures meet well-managed woodlands, making this a haven for both humans and wildlife. Since the 1980s, we have worked to restore the soil and make a "hand-built" life as farmers using pre-industrial organic methods. We maintain pollinator habitats, tend an orchard of heirloom-variety fruit trees, and conserve rare heritage-breed animals, including Tamworth pigs and Scottish Highland Cattle. Our shared love for Celtic folk culture has blended naturally with our love of sustainable agriculture to create Tir na nOg Farm. Today, the work of restoration continues with the help of farm partners, family, friends, WWOOFers, and other volunteers. This land is already better than we found it, but we hope it will remain a gathering-ground of culture and agriculture, tradition and innovation for generations to come.

2. Turtle Marsh- secluded wooded site.

Great synchronicity led us to the wild 30 acres of marsh and woodland that is Turtle Marsh. In addition to making a home here, we dedicating the area as a sanctuary for the quiet enjoyment of nature, eco-spiritual practices and healing. We are now recognized by the World Wildlife Fund as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. We have trails on the property that are designed for contemplative walks, along with several benches where you can sit in quiet enjoyment, undisturbed by human intrusions. There are several trailheads for the Hills to Sea Trail within a mile of our property. The quintessential New England waterfront town of Belfast on Penobscot Bay, is less than 30 minutes away. One of our favorite spots for quiet hikes along the shore of the bay, is Sears Island. It is one of the largest undeveloped islands on the east coast, that is connected to the mainland by a causeway. The island is 50 minutes away and even on the busiest summer days, its's usually possible to find a quiet spot on the shore to sit and reflect. As we continue to deepen our relationship with this land, we are trying to follow the principles of Deep Ecology in all of our interactions. Our tentsites, while only a 5 minute walk from the road, have been sited to offer as much solitude as possible, with minimal disruption to the surroundings. For 2025 we are opening a new site. It is a little more secluded, 2-3 minutes further from the road in a very quiet wooded niche, at the edge of the marsh. It is also a little smaller tent (10' diameter) situated on a platform, and a little more "camping" than "glamping". We are pricing the stay there according. In spite of being nestled in the woods, no trees were cut to prepare these relatively accessible sites. We believe that they still offer a very tangible sense of wildness and solitude. Turn your time away into a transformative and healing experience, as you connect more deeply to the natural world. We hope that you will enjoy the experience of Turtle Marsh as much as we do.

7 nights at Turtle Marsh- secluded wooded site.

Really unique and amazing stay, can't recommend this place enough! Learned about three medicinal mushrooms that grow on the property through the walks with Peter and Willie. Some neat evidence of beaver activity was spotted as well. You can hear barn owls in the evening. If you did get any rain or wind while there it's rather pleasant. Was nice to know if you do need anything the cabin and Peter were a short walk away. I even got Peters book which I can't wait to read!

Weekend Trip to Turtle Marsh- secluded wooded site.

Due to impending weather, we had to change our plans and make a last minute booking. The site was perfect for us. The property is beautiful with a network of small trails crisscrossing it. The site is peaceful and private, and even during a significant downpour we were able to stay dry in the canvas bell tent. Peter is everything you could want in a host. He went out of way to be helpful, he's friendly, genuine, and responsive to communication, while still respecting his guests space and privacy. Plus his dog is the best! We would highly recommend staying here.

A peaceful retreat, surrounded by the beauty of forest and garden, screened from view by a hazel-tree hedge. It may not be quite as legendary as Saint Kentigern himself, but there's ample space for your own dreams and stories!

Everyone on the farm was very friendly and helpful. It was fun to live the ‘farm life’ for a few days among the chickens, piglets, and cows. A calf was born our first day!

My girlfiend and I had a wonderful stay at the Black Point Surf Club and would definitely go back! Frederick was a wonderful host, friendly and responsive to our questions. The location is super close to Scarborough beach (parking pass provided with the rental) and Higgins beach and is a couple minute walk from an awesome farmstand and ice cream shop! Fredrick provided surf boards, boogie boards, and beach chairs which was fun and convenient!

We loved camping on Mark and Bonnie’s land. It was the perfect getaway! Everything was so organized and all the cooking ware was labeled, which made it super easy to find things. Our pups enjoyed running the trails and exploring. We are definitely planning to come back!

My partner and I had an absolutely amazing time staying at this campsite. All the little touches are so thought out and they really provided everything we could think we need. 100% recommend the flower bouquet because they’re beautiful and now we get to hang and dry them to keep 🙂 the lower field was fun to sunbathe and relax in and has an extra fire pit with a picnic table if you wanted to make lunch or something in the field. We thought we would be eaten alive by bugs but that wasn’t the case at all, however we did bring several citronella candles( in addition to what they supplied) so that probably helped. Cell service was a lot better than expected as well! Highly recommend going to nezinscot farm while you’re here as well. We will absolutely come back to this campsite as much as we’re able to. Thank you Bonnie and Mark!

2 nights at Shaky Barn Farm

We loved it so much last year, we came back! A year later everything we loved is the same, and better. Bonnie and Mark are such a great couple - hospitable and responsive. They gave us the space we desired this trip. The camp really is a little gem perched on a hill in the forest, with all the amenities you need for a comfortable, peaceful, and fun stay! The bed in the tent is really comfortable, and the solar powered fan came in handy on a muggy night, before the breeze blew it out for picture perfect weather. The camp is shady on a hot day, yet the sun trickles through the trees beautifully. A huge bonus is the large sunny field you have to yourself for playing lawn games. The kitchen canopy offered everything you need to prepare a full meal, although we opted to use the fire pit area with optional cooking screen to cook most of our meals - a great way to slow down. We love the fragrant carpet of dried pine needles to go from space to space - it really is an experience to remember and we vow to add more days on next time. And be sure to treat yourself to a bouquet of flowers - I am enjoying camp memories here back at home. Don't hesitate to hit the BOOK NOW button - you will be happy with staying at Bonnie and Mark's!

We had an amazing stay! The farm is perfect, even more idyllic than it looks in the photos, and the tent and bed were roomy and comfortable. Holly was great and welcoming. The many animals on the farm were also fun. We really enjoyed the fire pit and made some good meals there. We will hopefully be back if we're in Maine again!

My friend and I had a great night at the Tir na nog Farm. The location was beautiful and very easy to navigate. We stayed in the bell tent which was set up lovely with a bed a small table, rug and extra bedding as well as some coffee and tea essentials for the morning. It was such a cool experience and the perfect 1 night camping trip since the tent part was all taken care of. Holly was such a welcoming host and gave us a tour upon arrival. My friend and I enjoyed visiting the highland cows, company of chickens and seeing the pigs. There was an option for a campfire at the campfire circle or a spot to set up your own camp stove. The out houses were clean and easy to get to. Thank you again for the lovely stay!

4 nights at Shaky Barn Farm

This was such an amazing place to stay! It is very private and very spacious, which was perfect for me and my dogs. It allowed us to enjoy the space without being right next to others, which sometimes makes my dogs a bit anxious. There were a lot of storms while we were there but the site has lots of trees so we stayed fairly dry and there is also a screen house where we could go to hang out while it was raining or to get away from bugs for a bit. The hosts were so nice and very responsive, and have really added so much to this site to make it feel like a home away from home. I can’t wait to come back again and I highly recommend to anybody who is staying in the area.

This site was fantastic! Aside from being quite aesthetically pleasing, the site was set up very well. We appreciated the convenience of the electricity, large bug-free spaces, and the thoughtfully set up kitchen area. I would recommend the flower bouquet option - it was gorgeous!

Weekend Trip to Sebago Sunrise Yurt

The site and yurt were lovely! It’s far enough through a wooded path that you don’t feel like you’re right behind someone’s home. Our dogs had a blast zooming through the field and appreciated settling down in the cozy yurt just as much. We only stayed for one night but it was exactly the private nature getaway we needed and didn’t even have to drive more than 15 minutes from town to get there.

Weekend Trip to Turtle Marsh- secluded wooded site.

Turtle Marsh hipcamp is exactly as pictured, serene and beautiful, nestled in the woods. I particularly enjoyed falling asleep to the frog song from the marsh! I stayed here after a concert at the Waterville Opera House and found it very easy. Peter has very thoughtfully placed reflectors on several trees for those arriving at night. And while it rained during my stay, the bell tent kept me dry as a bone. What a luxury!!!

We had an amazing time camping over Memorial Day weekend. Peter was very nice and his dog Willie is so cute. It’s the perfect place to get away and enjoy nature. The birds sound really beautiful during the day and the stars are so bright at night! It’s very cozy and I highly recommend going
