We purchased this land a few years ago when our neighbors decided to sell. It abuts our property They used it as a place for their family to gather and camp on during Maine wonderful summer season. It is a beautiful, quiet spot with a great view and a small pond. Hipcamp lets us share this spot and helps pay our property taxes. We are located in the western mountains of Maine in a summer community on Porter Lake. There is a beautiful view of New Vineyard mountain from our 3 acre field.  We have 2 trailer sites with power and water (non potable) and an out house. The field has several fire pits and soft grassy spaces for pitching tents. The camping area is fairly private from our neighbors along the road. The site has a small private pond surrounded by trees you can sit and relax near.  You can (walk/bike/drive) the 1/4 mile down the dirt road to the public beach. The beach has a public dock, boat ramp, swim float, picnic tables and grills. Paddle out to the island and try the rope swing with one of our kayaks or canoes.  Be sure to check out the bald eagles that live in the white pine tree just a little farther down the island. You will hear the loons during your stay and possibly see a mother with her babies on her back. There are also ducks and ducklings and geese with gosling paddling about the lake. The state stocks the lake with trout, splake, and salmon if you like to fish. There is plenty to do right here!

Camping hole
When you arrive it’s clearly labeled so don’t be fooled yes it’s right there, inside that big open mossy space, 4 picnic tables, pits and pond. Get ready to put your swim suit on and walk or drive to the town beach. My friends, my 2 pups and I kayaked to the island, it was so wonderful. My bf brought his fishing pole. We seen the loons, mushrooms and pine cones everywhere, so beautiful.

Site 2 upper nook
The land is well kept and amenities are easy to find. The land is pretty level so it’s easy to set up (we had a 12 foot tear drop trailer). When Tom introduced himself and his mother, they were both very kind and explained that they have kayaks for campers at the pond nearby. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to get away for a little while, not a whole lot of traffic on the nearby road.

Great, quaint stay!
Great stay! Easy to find and having access to an outhouse and power was great. The sun came out in the morning while I enjoyed my coffee. I had a chance to go down to the beach for a dip before heading back on the road. I can’t wait to go back and take the kayaks out to the rope swing!
