Great experience
With pets
Such a beautiful, peaceful spot to take a break and truly relax. Everything was clean and well cared for, which made settling in and enjoying the space even better.
The river wasn’t moving much while we were there, but we still had fun exploring, finding river rocks, and enjoying the surroundings. The lake is just a short, walk from the campsite, which was perfect.
We were happily surprised to hear the loons from our tent at night, and we loved falling asleep to the sound of owls all around us. It truly feels like escaping into a mystical forest quiet, tranquil, and the perfect place to unplug and unwind.

Maine Vibes happines
With pets
We loved our stay at Maine Vibes! Our trip was just an overnight and we have already promised ourselves to return for longer. Tabitha and Brendan have made it all so user-friendly and the wooded streamside setting is beautiful and tucked away for a private feel. We loved our cozy tent (it stayed dry through the rain), the nice mattress and bedding, the water and cooking ware, and screen house for a bug-free breakfast. We had fun hanging out at the lake in the evening (a short walk away) and our dog had the best time off-leash --yay for dog friendly camping!

Camping next to the creek
We had such a beautiful weekend! The tent site is next to a beautiful creek with a mossy bed of rocks and waking up to the sound of the water trickling by was delightful. Tabatha provided mosquito sticks, camp lighting, books and other well-thought-out items that made the camp extremely inviting and cozy. We took a dip in the lake which is only a short walk down the road and it was secluded and so clean. We had everything we needed while still feeling like we were camping and leaving nature untouched as much as possible. If you have a chance grab a coffee and breakfast sandwich at Josie’s and explore Ellsworth downtown. We will definitely be back again!

This campsite was AMAZING, so much more beautiful in person 🤩 Tabatha's setup is so hospitable and incredibly put together -- it made our weekend so much more fun and easy!! We weren't expecting to meet her but when we crossed paths on the lake she was an absolute delight, just a wonderful host! Ten out of ten would recommend, we'll definitely visit again if we need a weekend getaway in the area! ☺️🏕✨️

Glamping adventures
With kids
We had such a wonderful time! We were a family of 3 in the big tent. Our 5 year old loved all the adventures in the stream, the fire pit smores and early bird calls as the sun rose. The facilites were perfect and our hosts paid attention to all the details and made it a wonderful escape from our normal day to day life. The nearby lake is gorgeous! We got used to the terrain the more we hiked around our surroundings. We highly recommend this site for folks who want to just hang out or if there’s a desire to venture into Ellsworth for awesome food. We will be back!

Peaceful, secluded, dog friendly!
With pets
A beautiful, secluded, and very peaceful stay. Our dogs loved running around and we felt confident there wouldn’t be any trouble from cars or other campers. This is such a well equipped, thoughtfully appointed, secluded and private site where we feel so lucky to have spent time. Thank you for everything!

My Favorite Hipcamp Site
Group trip
This was my second stay here and both times were wonderful. I highly recommend a stay here with friends or family! Beautiful views and I love the sounds of the river by the camp fire. Everything here is very well thought of, with provided cooking gear, blankets, and even mosquito repellent. We will definitely be back next year for our 3rd visit !

Magical Maine Solo Trip!
With pets
We had the most amazing experience here and I already can’t wait to plan our next visit to really just enjoy the site more! But it was absolutely STUNNING, the views were beautiful and so much care was put into every part of the site. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience on my first solo trip with my pup! We heard lots of different animals during the night especially and it was really just magical!

Great getaway!
With pets
Great place right near Acadia & Bar Harbor (as well as numerous other places with less foot traffic). The downtown area of Ellsworth has cute shops, great food, and everything you'd need and is about a 15-20minute drive right from the camp site.
The site is secluded & spacious but has everything you'd need in order to stay comfortable on a camping trip.
I loved bringing my dog because he had ample space to explore. The hosts were very communicative!

Peaceful and beautiful
With pets
This campsite is really special- the property is absolutely beautiful, the tent and everything provided made our stay comfortable, and the lake is sooo peaceful. We loved spending two nights here with our dogs and using it as a jumping off point to explore Acadia. Tabatha was also extremely communicative and helpful! Their property is huge, and we didn’t encounter anyone else during our stay. The brook was dried up since there’s been such a drought, so I can’t even imagine how much more awesome it would’ve been if we had that for our dogs to play in right at the site!

We had an amazing time at the camp! It was just what we wanted for our trip, not to far from Acadia and Bar Harbor, but in a super relaxed and not so busy area. Tabatha was very responsive and gave great recommendations throughout our stay. The tent area, the fire pit, the stream running by the tent, the outhouse, everything was great! But, be prepared for mosquitos! We were even lucky enough to see a bull moose during our stay. Thank you Tabatha for sharing this with us!

The campsite was great and beautiful. We had a blast. It's just the right distance of being out in the woods, but close enough to civilization that Walmart is only about 20 minutes away. It's about an hour outside of bar harbor, which is where we spent most of our time. Host was very nice and was quick to answer any questions I had.

This is a really magical place. Our kid had a great time exploring the brook (and set up her own “house” in a section of it) and loved how comfy the setup inside the tent is. The wood stove was amazing for chilly nights, and the location is excellent. The fire pit has been updated from what’s in the photos to a really big pit with a super nice grate, which was great for cooking. The layout is really thoughtful, with the kitchen tent closest to the car, which saves you having to carry the heaviest stuff (cooler and food) very far. We definitely hope to stay here again!

Perfect camping getaway with amenit
Group trip
This was the perfect getaway in the woods and base for camping and hiking in the area. We loved being within reach of Acadia and Bar Harbor, but not at a crowded campground. We especially loved having a tent with a real bed, lots of amenities, and all camping gear provided and set up! It was really decadent. Great hosts who were super responsive.

Fairy land
With kids
Tabatha had everything we need and was very helpful. The location made us feel like we were camping with fairies. Sleeping by the creek was very refreshing and having a trail to walk to the lake was amazing. The fact that we could get farm fresh eggs was top notch. We highly recommend staying here.

Into the Woods
A beautiful peaceful heavily wooded campsite with the quintessential babbling brook full of cool clean water. The moss covered boulders add to the beauty of this Maine property. The provided tent is set up perfectly and was clean and well thought out. We found extra bug spray (a must!), extra batteries and flashlights. There is a nice deck off of the tent to enjoy down at the rest of the campsite. I think it’s important to know that this site is not set up in the traditional manner where everything is in close proximity. One must park on the dirt road and then bring in the equipment by hand. There is a wheelbarrow provided however it can’t go all the way to the sleeping tent and fire pit area because of boulders, trees etc. The cook tent is set up closer to the car…but again, not near the tent. It took us a day or two to get used to it but I would not recommend this particular site to anyone that has trouble walking on uneven ground. Seasoned campers/hikers will be just fine. The host Tabitha was very helpful and the surrounding area is beautiful. Easy access to Acadia.

I absolutely loved this spot! This was my first hip camp surprisingly! The separate canvas sleeping tent was incredible and SUPER comfortable bed!!!! Can’t wait to come back and use woodstove!!!
The cook screen tent and table, dishes , water jug and more were such a nice touch. !!
There is also another guest tent on the property a short walk from canvas “glamping” tent!
The creek flowing through topped EVERYTHING off. I did not walk down to path to Branch Lake because I’m healing from a broken foot but REALLY look forward to that when I come back!

Excellent
With pets
Solitude with a beautiful creak. Camp was comfortable and clean. Despite the first two days of rain we made it a great time. Getting from vehicle to camp with gear was really the only trouble but it was worth the extra effort. Great location that has the ability to be a destination camp if you want to stay in.

Peaceful Glamping, Private Stream
With kids
Super peaceful listening to the stream just next door to our secluded tent site. My first trial of glamping (vs prior mostly backpacking camping) and the mattress was quite comfy and all of the sleeping and dining tent set ups were quite pleasant. The lake felt a little further away than expected but was beautiful when I walked to it.
