Near Acadia National Park
Within a 30-minute drive from the Thompson Island Information Center.
Explore 55 acres of pristine forest boasting winding walking trails, a babbling stream, and a tranquil pond. Additionally, embrace the winter wonderland with a dedicated snowmobile trail for seasonal sports enthusiasts. The area teems with abundant wildlife, providing ample opportunities for observation and photography. Presently, we provide forest campsites, with plans to introduce cabins in the near future. If you seek secluded campsites immersed in a wild, natural environment, yet conveniently located within easy driving distance of other recreational activities, look no further – we offer precisely what you desire. Choose from our selection of Cabins and 10 tent campsites, ideal for family fun and adventure, complete with private trails for exploration. Unlike State Parks, we encourage families to forage for firewood and practice campfire skills, with the option to purchase camp wood onsite, along with a variety of other enjoyable items and necessities.

Forest Camp tent site 1
This was a cute camping spot very close to Ellsworth. It was really convenient. There was a fire ring and firewood. The directions for how to find the site weren't totally clear (fewer R and L turns than indicated), but we were also looking for the site after dark. Would recommend for a tent smaller than 4p.

Unfortunately the host of this site cancelled on us a few days before a holiday, because he’d overbooked the site (after our booking was accepted). He sent us a message on the app, but didn’t actually cancel the booking so I was not notified through email. With the booking still in place we also couldn’t get an auto refund. Didn’t find out until we showed up. The host ignored all communication attempts. A red flag to be aware of! On the other hand, Hipcamp customer service was amazing, and helped us out almost instantly.

It was a great place! It's isolated from things and easy to get to in Ellsworth.
