Near Acadia National Park

Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
This gravel driveway site sits perched with a spectacular view of Frenchman Bay and Calf Island. Superb sunset viewing! The site is part wooded and part open to give you plenty of options for setting up your chairs to enjoy Downeast Maine views and wildlife. The Schoodic Peninsula has so much to do - including Acadia National Park, quaint fishing villages, small cafes and restaurants, Jones Pond for kayaking or beach play, etc! Check out all of these Close by adventures: 6min drive to Jones Pond beach and boat launch (Recreation Rd) - for picnicking, swimming, kayaking and boating 4min drive to Taft Point Preserve - for hiking and beach exploration. 2min drive to Mandala Farm - for fresh local veggies, eggs, chicken and sometimes bread and jams. Also fun farm animals to see. 3min drive to Bunkers Cove Public Boat Launch - for launching/putting in kayaks or motor boats (no dock however) 13min drive to Grindstone Point - for walking access to spectacular granite stone ledge beach (rivals parts of Acadia NP for sure) 7min drive to village of Winter Harbor - for cafe, bar, restaurant, IGA grocery store, bakery, shops, art galleries, library, seasonal art festival events, etc 10min drive to Acadia National Park Schoodic Division main visitor center and bus stop 12 min drive to The Pickled Wrinkle restaurant and Me and Ben’s Dairy Creme Ice Cream stand. 6min drive to Day Ridges Preserve - for hiking 8min drive to Forbes Pond Preserve - for hiking 16min to Tidal Falls Preserve - for picnic and watching this unique tidal feature 20min drive to Schoodic Point in Acadia - awesome vista with massive granite ledge oceanfront. Great to just sit and watch the waves or bring a picnic. Come here for some cool star gazing at night as well. 22min drive to Schoodic Head in Acadia - can drive to almost the top of the mountain if you don’t want to make the challenging hike up the whole way 27min drive to Ellsworth - for all the “big box” stores, large grocery stores 52min drive to Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island. Or take the ferry from Winter Harbor and skip the drive and traffic/parking stress!Park your camper on our private lot in the heart of Downeast Maine. Privacy, quiet, abundant wildlife, and unforgettable sunsets make this a special place to stay. Back your RV down the straight, level gravel driveway and park near the forest edge with western views overlooking Frenchman Bay. A short walk down the grassy old well-house road leads to a sunset viewing area where the evening sky often becomes the highlight of the day. Wildlife sightings are common and may include bald eagles, loons, wild turkey, harbor seals, porpoises, deer, mink, coastal waterfowl, and many songbirds. On quiet evenings, you can sometimes hear seals calling from the harbor. Located in West Gouldsboro on the Schoodic Peninsula Scenic Byway, this site provides easy access to some of Maine’s most beautiful outdoor destinations. Acadia National Park’s Schoodic District, Frenchman Bay Conservancy trails, Jones Pond, Grindstone Point, Winter Harbor, and the Winter Harbor ferry to Bar Harbor are all within about 20 minutes. The area is known for exceptional dark skies and some of the best stargazing in the Northeast. This is a boondocking site. Self-contained RVs are required as there is currently no water, sewer, or electric service. Solar-friendly areas are available along portions of the driveway. Please arrive before dark if possible, as the area becomes extremely dark at night. Large fifth wheels may find access challenging due to the road width and driveway configuration. We are actively restoring the property by removing invasive plant species, and all Hipcamp proceeds are reinvested into improving the land and guest experience. * We have two game cameras on site. It is away from the camping site and only used for monitoring our natural spring on site, wildlife and so we can check weather conditions.
