Camping at Dan's place offers a mix of comfort and nature, with plenty of amenities like platforms, fire pits, and even a cozy camper for less ideal weather. The host, Daniel, is repeatedly praised for his warmth and hospitality, making guests feel welcome and well-cared for. Many reviews highlight the convenience of the location for exploring nearby Stonington and Deer Isle, with beautiful views adding to the appeal. A minor hiccup is the occasional miscommunication about waterfront availability, but overall, the peaceful setting and Daniel's thoughtful hosting are strong points for this campsite.

Good for camping
Tent
This was an easy place to land. We tent camped and were pleasantly surprised there was a platform and other stuff available like a fire pit. We found nearby hiking trails and quaint towns.

Daniel was a great host--friendly, generous, and communicative. The camping spot was comfortable, quiet, and easy to reach. The extra amenities and details made it even more special. I'd come back again and recommend this spot to friends and other campers!

Daniel was a good host and his property was nice. I must have misread, because I thought my spot would be on the water…I arrived and learned that that spot was not available this year. I was a bit disappointed, so maybe removing photos of the unavailable site would help avoid confusion for future guests. Daniel was a nice fella and I had a good stay! The site had everything I needed and felt private.

Beautiful spot right on the water. Our child loved waking up every morning and looking for crabs along the shore. Deer Isle and the surrounding area are wonderful to explore. Amenities like outhouse, firewood, and garbage can made things super easy! Kind host! We would love to return again! Thanks, Daniel!

Daniel and his land were both wonderful. I was mesmerized watching the tides ebb and flow in Greenlaw Cove.It is an incredible view, and very quiet. Daniel was helpful but unintrusive, leaving us to recharge. Towns of Deer Isle and Stonington are very authentic and interesting, with several Amazing restaurants.

I can’t say enough about how beautiful Dan’s place is! We didn’t want to leave! Aside from the incredible view, the site is large and private. Dan stocked the site with firewood, and the outhouse was very clean with lights, toilet paper, and sanitizer provided. It’s an awesome spot if you’re visiting Deer Isle—very close to Nervous Nellie’s and Haystack School of Crafts if you’re into that. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful spot and Dan is extremely nice and an excellent host. The site is very clean. While you are camped in a neighborhood, it feels very remote.

Amazing stay in Deer Isle

This is a perfect spot for a quiet relaxing stay. The camping site is easy to get to and Daniel has added extra touches like the solar lights by the water and the new outhouse. We were also treated to a beautiful sunset.

A splendid last night on Deer Isle

A dream of a campsite located on a private peninsula! Daniel was great. He greeted us. Left us a pile of firewood and then left us alone. You will love this location. Photos do not do it justice!

We were “Down Back” and right on the water! The views were incredible. I’m convinced Deer Isle is a magical land.

Truly an incredible experience - quite, peaceful, and clean. The host was super friendly and more than accommodating.

We absolutely loved our stay at Nachos place!!! We went into the weekend expecting a miserably cold and wet camping experience. Instead Dan offered us to stay in his cozy and comfortable camper. Not only did Dan turn our weekend around with a warm dry place to sleep but he also had everything we could need! From water, to a grill and even a coffee maker. I highly recommend staying at Dans place! The location is great and the hospitality is even better 😊 thank you Dan!!!

Daniel was very nice, and the property was beautiful and hosted many birds, which made for peaceful moments. The weather shortened my trip, but I hope to revisit in the height of summer!
I recommend checking out Barred Island and Settlement Quarry areas when staying here.

Loved! Hope to be back
Tent
I think the best way to describe how much we loved staying here is to say that we booked for one night and ended up staying 3, and we are already thinking about booking for next year.
Dan was so welcoming and accommodating. He opened his home to us; bathroom, showers, etc gave us loads of helpful advice about where to go and what to see, and was just an all around pleasure to chat to.
The spot we camped, next to the house was large and had a grill, fire pit, multiple chairs, and spots for parking and tents. The real selling point though is the absolutely incredible beach. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a beautiful private cove on the land. We took the dogs down every day to play on the rocks.
Location-wise it was perfect for us. It’s literally across the road from Tennis preserve which we loved hiking, 2 minutes from Nervous Nellie’s, and less than 15 minutes from Sand beach, stonington, and everything else we wanted to see.

A very convenient location, with a large grassy area for a tent. Ok to drive your car right up to the site. Quiet and secluded, some traffic noise in the morning but mostly just birds in the woods. We loved the firepit - especially the dry wood and kindling provided by the host. Daniel was very friendly and helpful with excellent suggestions for dining in nearby Stonington (CryBabies really was superb). Facilities at the campsite were somewhat modest but functional, no complaints. Would visit again.
