Amazing views

Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

Welcome to Cabin Creek Farm! The beauty and tranquility of our offshore Maine island are what many visitors hope to experience but few actually do. If you're hoping to exhale and slow down while being surrounded by nature, and quiet, we're your perfect spot! We are located just offshore from Mount Desert Island home to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and other nearby towns. Catch a passenger ferry (BOAT) (sorry can't bring vehicles) out to Great Cranberry Island, Maine from: Northeast Harbor, (search: Beal and Bunker Ferry) Exact schedules shown in individual camp site descriptions. OR FROM Manset/Southwest Harbor. (search: Cranberry Cove Ferry) Exact schedules shown in individual camp site descriptions. (Note: Ferry reservations are NOT needed just get aboard and you pay once underway. You can view exact ferry departure times on individual camp descriptions.) Our camp is located on a quaint pristine, offshore Maine island. We are an easy 1 mile walk from the ferry landing once you arrive. NEW! We just added a shared use golf cart for our guests to get to and from camp! Great Cranberry Island is a beautiful peaceful place where the pace of life slows, nature abounds and the stars are bright. There is a small well stocked general store. NOTE: currently being rebuilt after a disastrous fire. (due to open fall 2023), a museum, cafe and miles of pristine trails and rocky beaches to explore. Bicycles can be brought on the passenger ferries and are a great way to get around and further explore the island. Our camp is on the site of our former organic farm called Cabin Creek Farm overlooking the ocean (a tidal estuary called the pool), where we grew flowers, herbs and veggies. You can even kayak directly to us at high tide. The sites are a combo of a mixed manicured deciduous and conifer forest and open spaces with ocean views. "Once you have slept on an island, you'll never be quite the same!"

Camp #1 Ocean

Camping with great ocean view

We had a great time camping at Gary's site. The island is beautiful and quiet, with a great ferry ride out there. The camp site was well prepared, clean and Gary helped with any questions we had. Hope to return again!

Cranberry Island, Great!

We were so lucky to meet Gary. Not only has he created a beautiful place to stay on Great Cranberry Island, but he has created a space for community to flourish with his communal spaces and incredible bonfire circle. Tip for visitors, the community store closes at 4 so get to the island before then or bring something along. Gary was an incredible host who answered all of our questions about the island, recounted amazing stories and, of course, have to mention the bonfire one more time. We had a great time on the island and the only regret is not staying for more than a day.

Cranberry Island is a must see!

We had a beautiful two nights on Gary's farm! The site was clean, well maintained and the community tent and awesome fire pit made the trip. Use of the golf cart to move our stuff and explore the island was an amazing bonus!! We'll be back!

Camp #1 Ocean

We were absolutely in awe the moment we stepped onto the island. We were immediately met with Gary’s kind energy, then we shortly took the golf cart ride to the camp site. His property is one of a kind, offering incredible views of the ocean and the greenery that surrounds his land. Everything on his land he built entirely himself. Gary is the best host we have ever had, I don’t think I have enough words to describe how cool he is and how grateful we are for our camping experience. The people on the island were very friendly and the history behind the island is incredible. My partner and i along with my pup will forever be daydreaming about this place until we make our way back!

Camp #1 Ocean

Best camping ever

WE LOVED GARY!!!!! This was our first experience at Hipcamp and it went awesome! This was our first time at Acadia and we plan on staying at Acadia every time we come back. The island Gary's property on is lovely. It is a small little island and the people there are so friendly. We arrived on the July 4th and the blue golf cart was waiting for us! Gary should us around the property and the town ahead of the fireworks he was launching!! The campsite was so nice we were right in front of the water. We loved the boat ride to and from the island. Gary's campsite was such a unique way to do Acadia and we don't recommend doing it any other way!
