Welcome to Cabin Creek Farm located on Great Cranberry Island Maine. 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) for exact schedules. OR FROM Manset/Southwest Harbor. (search: Cranberry Cove Ferry) for exact schedules. (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.) If arriving outside ferry schedules Cadillac Water Taxi can bring you to Great Cranberry Island. Call Blair at [xxxxxxxx] to make a reservation. 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. We have 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,, 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.

The campsite was lovely but the woman who the was left in charge while the owner was gone was extremely overbearing and h settling. From the moment we got there she started showing up around d the island wherever we were. She made us so uncomfortable we decided to leave the next day. Great campsite but very unsettling interaction.

So great! Gary was a very accommodating host. The “shared space” for cooking and hanging out was appreciated during some of our rainy days. The travel to and from the island was surprisingly easy. Cranberry island is beautiful, and has everything you need to be cozy for a few days. Don’t miss this if you want a truly unique Acadia experience with very kind people.

Camp #2 Ocean

We stayed here last year for 4 nights and booked a weeklong trip this year, and it was even better this year. We had 5 different camping trips this summer, and this is by far the best. I can't recommend Cranberry enough, and the hurdles to get here (frequent passenger ferry...no car ferry) is what makes Cranberry amazing and how you can have a beach to yourself at the height of tourist season. Can't wait to come back again next year. Thanks Gary!

Gorgeous site and amazing island! It’ll be a long time until I’m in a place this wholesome again. We were pleasantly surprised during our short stay by an island music festival called Dockstock. Extremely friendly and welcoming islanders, beautiful event, and a peaceful campsite to go back to at night. We expected to stay on the island at night and spend most of our time on the mainland in Bar Harbor and Acadia, but it was so lovely we stayed on the island the whole trip. We would LOVE to come back and stay here for a longer duration. Thank you, Gary! Thank you, Great Cranberry! Thank you, Dockstock! See you again

We had an amazing time staying at Gary’s campsite! Staying here was such a special and unique way to experience Acadia, and it really enhanced our trip. Great Cranberry Island is such an incredible place, and we feel so lucky to have gotten a taste of living on the island. The campsite was beautiful with all the camping amenities we needed. There was a well-stocked outhouse nearby, potable water nearby at the community center, and a lovely covered common area. The golf cart and bikes were so useful and made it much easier to explore the island and get to the ferry. Gary was such a kind host and answered all of our questions about the island and campsite. If you’re looking to camp near Acadia, I highly recommend getting off the beaten path and staying with Gary!

I loved camping at Gary’s on Great cranberry island!! If you’re looking for a nice place close to Acadia then look no further! The ferry to the island is super affordable, Acadia is only 20min drive from Northeast Harbor, and the people there are so welcoming! Cabin Creek Farm is such a nice, secluded area to camp at as well, lots of privacy and large common areas to meet fellow campers. I feel like we met half the island during our 2 night stay and we were on the mainland most of the time! The islanders are very nice and have some super interesting stories that they loved sharing. 10/10 will be going again.

My husband and son and I loved staying at Gary’s place and will definitely be back! The adventure started with a gorgeous boat ride, a fun golf cart adventure to his property, and then a fun time sleeping over. He was so kind and generous and let us move to an even better spot that was available. There’s not a bad spot to be had! It’s perfectly quiet there except we happened to be next to a loud frog. Ha ha! Next time I’ll bring ear plugs in case. The property is beautiful, clean, beautiful views, and there is nothing like being on a Maine island. It’s laid-back, time moves slowly, and the people are the salt of the Earth. My son loved learning to drive a golf cart and had fun using one of Gary’s bikes. We explored the island, had delicious breakfast sandwiches and ice cream at the General Store, and popped in to see part of a movie being shown at the Cranberry House. We were so touched by the closeness and love in the community. Thank you for sharing your slice of Heaven with us, Gary!

We camp back for a second year camping at Cabin Creek with friends over 4th of July weekend! It’s such a sweet spot and fun time of year to be there. Loved having the bikes on hand to get around the island and Gary is generous with his use of the golf cart to get two and from the dock, it is so appreciated. Can be a bit buggy and wish we could have fires at each individual site, but the communal fire is nice too.

My kids and I loved our weekend at Cabin Creek Farm. Gary was incredibly involved, offering bikes to help us enjoy the island, a golf cart to help us schlep our gear, answering tons of questions we had about swimming, ferries, etc etc and he kept the bonfire roaring with giant logs. Gary's location is beautiful and very well maintained and anyone who gets out here will be richly rewarded.

Gary has thought of everything and the camping was beautiful. The ocean sites sacrifice a bit of privacy for the view but that was worth it. Getting to the island felt daunting from afar, but everything went smoothly. The general store has most things you could need food-wise too! Great Cranberry won our hearts. Genuine, kind people and a beautiful, well-cared for island. Our dog had the time of her life. We will be back without a doubt.
