Plenty to do enjoy. Eagle soaring overhead (sometimes ) . look for colorful rocks on property. Keep in mind on any reviews . This 51 acres project some of it is being reclaimed back to nature . So gravel pit is being mined for materials to maintain whole gravel section of Egypt lane (private road.) It’s 2 miles of gravel road . Then it will be reclaimed also . The pit is not to be explored . Also is not part of the campsites that are booked . There is plenty of flat land to stay safe In the meanwhile . there are sites that are semi complete wooded partly . Until they grow back . Your booking $ helps fund all of these projects that I do . Plenty of acres to explore quiet and peaceful. . Egypt stream flows around half the property .Gated for your security. A lot of nature . Wild life present. please leash your pets there’s porcupines around ! . Peaceful and Quiet! Close to a few parks and Acadia national park. Lemoine state park is very close . Bar harbor also . Campfires are ok no bonfires tho. NOTE: Please do 15 MPH on gravel road occasionally farm animals and baby chickens sometime wander up on road . NOTE: EGYPT LANE IS THE ONLY ACCESS ROAD ! NO MATTER IF GPS MAP REDIRECTS YOU ! ESPECIALLY if it shows you to railroad siding road . Go past railroad siding rd off of Washington junction road to ROUTE 1 to Route 182 (Franklin road .) Thank you. Very much Michael

We enjoyed this camping place very much. Michael welcomed us and showed us the way to the spot. He is still working the land but our spot was great. Nice fire pit, picknick table and a great view. The sunset was spectacular and stargazing as well.

We stayed in a van for a couple of nights, while visiting Acadia. The road up to it, and the sites are very well taken care of! Make sure to go slow (as he says) on the road, the paved part ends pretty abruptly, once you hit dirt it’s smooth though. Michael met us that the gate to explain things, then showed us your site. He is very nice and keeps things very well maintained :) Outhouse is well taken care of and stocked. We were very pleased with our stay, and would definitely recommend it!

We car camped on Michael’s land and had a great time. It’s a nice out of the way spot not too far from Acadia, which we had come to Maine to visit The spot itself is interesting with a lot to explore nearby. Michael was very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. Would highly recommend.

Tent # 1
Great little spot where you feel like you’re dispersed camping, but with some extra niceties. Gated private property so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of random people taking your stuff. Also had a fire pit (with several gallons of water for extinguishing), picnic table and big trash bin on site, with an outhouse down the road a bit. Nice dark area perfect for stargazing in one of the darkest areas in New England and very quiet. Saw some other campers drive by here and there, but aside from that, never heard or saw anyone else aside from our host Michael. He was very kind and told us about some of the work he’s put into developing the property and road for campers. And even brought us fresh firewood both nights we were there (which would have been quite a pain on our motorcycle). Gravel road was mostly packed dirt and no trouble even for two people and tons of gear on a motorcycle. Even got to see some baby goats and had a porcupine walk right up to me. Had to take a few steps back to not spook it, and then it turned around and waddled back into the woods. Zero trouble from bears or moose. Really a great spot all around. Only very minor downside if anything, was that the spots big enough for a tent were also a bit gravely, but that’s just nature, it’s camping, not a hotel, and even our 1.5” sleeping pads made it plenty comfortable. Would recommend.

I had a really good stay here. The campsite was clean, peaceful, and easy to access. Everything worked out smoothly, and I felt comfortable during my time there. It was just the right spot to rest, reset, and enjoy the outdoors. Would definitely recommend this site to other travelers and would happily stay again. Stream was worth visiting to match the wild life noises with the real stuff

Michael is an amazing host and makes the stay very welcoming. He gave clear directions to the property and met us at the beginning of the property to introduce himself and show us to our site. The tent site was extremely quiet/peaceful and had an amazing view of the stars at night. Would highly recommend a stay here at Egypt Acres!

This was our second time to Michael's land and it was just as quiet and peaceful as last time. There are some brand new camp sites open now and they are beautiful spots. It unfortunately rained our second day, but the downpour exposed some incredible rocks. We'll definitely be back!
