Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Pack in/pack out, off grid camping spot. Bring tent or RV for a dry camping experience. 1 mile down a dirt road. 13 acres all to yourself! Enjoy ease of huge, level gravel pad. Includes a 2 sided privacy structure to hang an outside shower bag (bring water & bag). Branch lake is right across the main road (but more like driving distance than walking). 15 mins to Ellsworth, 30 to Bar Harbor. No bathrooms, bring water, take your trash. This is a huge level gravel pad up a long dirt driveway. Travel down a dirt road about 1 mile to find your oasis in nature. 4 wheel drive is not required but necessary if you bring an RV (please use 4 wheel drive when going up the driveway if you’re towing to avoid creating ruts in the drive way. A car will make it down the dirt road and up the semi-steep drive way. PLEASE DRIVE SLOW to respect the road and preserve the undercarriage of your car. Please bring everything you need for a great stay and take everything with you when you depart. The pad will accommodate multiple tents, a small to medium sized RV and 4-5 cars. There are no onsite amenities. Please bring your water and plan to take your trash with you. The area is lush and green and the stars are bright at night. Any fallen trees are yours to use for firewood. You can also take any small branches from the brush piles. We just ask that you do not cut down any other trees on the property. You have 13 acres all to yourself. There are a few short trails that lead to the rear of the property but they are very short and not maintained paths. Guests interactions: You are on your own! We will observe the property after your checkout. Please take everything with you and do not burn trash in the fire ring. There are nearby ATV trails. If you bring ATVs, kindly ask that you drive them carefully on our gravel pad, driveway, and dirt road (drive slow, no donuts please :)) Dogs are welcome! Bring your friends. Take your trash. Please respect our nature and pack it out if you pack it in. That includes anything you may or may not do in the woods. Do not leave tissue paper or piles of #2 on the paths. Use a bag, pack it out. We do not provide anything besides the space to pop a tent. Bring a hand saw to cut wood!There is only one site on the whole property.

It was a really fun experience staying here. It was only about 30 minutes away from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park

13 Acres/Off Grid/Branch Lake is the perfect spot for anyone seeking true solitude. We loved how incredibly private the campsite was, feeling completely removed from all other people. The site offers a great balance of shade and sun throughout the day, which was perfect for staying cool while also getting some use out of our solar gear. As the description says, there are no hookups, and that's exactly what we wanted—a quiet, peaceful place in the forest. The location is also fantastic, with easy access to Branch Lake and lots of hiking trails. It's also conveniently close to Ellsworth. The pin was past the entrance, but the host's directions and description of the entrance were clear and easy to follow. We also found that AT&T cell service worked on-site, though it wasn't super strong. If you're looking to truly get away from it all and enjoy a secluded, off-grid experience, we highly recommend this spot.

We had a great time camping here! Our dog loved hanging out and exploring. Very quiet and peaceful location. We visited Acadia, checked out the town in Ellsworth, and spent time at Branch Lake down the road. Would stay here again, thank you!
