Kat is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

*Camp will be winterized Oct 19th, no Glamper or bell tent. But you can still reserve a tent site, beach tenting or auto camping. Founded in 2024, Wild Soul Serenity (WSS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping others heal, reconnect, and thrive through the restorative power of nature and holistic wellness. Our mission is to create a sustainable sanctuary for Veterans, First Responders, creatives, and the broader community to experience mental, emotional, and spiritual renewal. WSS was born from a desire to serve and support others while building a sustainable, passive residual income model that reinvests into the land and the people it serves. Nestled in the wilderness near Acadia National Park, our off-the-grid campground merges rustic camping on a lake. Guests can unplug, realign, and reconnect with nature and themselves and receive services such as yoga, energy work, and bodywork in three ways: 1. When campers request private sessions during their stay. 2. When wellness professionals host ongoing services onsite. 3. During WSS-hosted events that feature healing arts practitioners. Our event space will be available for rental and collaboration with local businesses, nonprofits, and community groups—so long as their purpose aligns with our values: promoting wellness, building connection, and supporting mental health through holistic means and nature's tranquility. Each year we will build on this wilderness campground to make this a place for many. For 2025 we have just a few campsites, some have platforms, some without. Each campsite has a buffer of vegetation with the lake as a view, a fire pit and space to have more than one tent. There will be a camp style toilet; currently we are in motion to have a wooden privy built. There's no running water, not much cell service, no electricity. Park at the main road and pull/carry your camping items into the woods. Your site will be labeled. Trash in, trash out. Firewood, camp owned canoe, and walk the beach (if low levels). Dog friendly: must be friendly, on a leash and please be mindful of dogs digging. Here we value the land, it's sanctuary and soil erosion prevention along the shoreline. There's a hangout at the entrance. Friends and Family Market on rte 1A is the closest resupply.

Community Beach Tenting

Tent site · Sleeps 15

Enjoy a more remote open tent site on the rocky, hard clay beach on Graham Lake with beautiful sunsets and open breeze. This camping spot will be a designated area away from the woodland sites, great for group camping. One fire pit for the whole area. It's the furthest spot away from the parking lot. If you use the jet sleds to pull your camping gear, I recommend packing light, take more than one trip, the sleds get heavy after a distance. If you're able, bring your boat, anchor your vessels and row your things in on a diggy. During the Fall, the water level tends to get real low. This site only exist when the water levels are low due to a dry season and the dam releasing water. Let's embrace it. A toilet is not on the beach but is within the campground and on the trail to the beach. As well as a toilet at the parking lot.

Great spot just a little bit away from busy Ellsworth. Kat is building this into a sweet retreat! Several options for camping, location, and style. Some nice add-ons that I wish I had more time to indulge in.

Kat was an amazing host! She was hostess with the mostest. We enjoyed a beach fire both nights we were there, which was made by her. She is a wonderful person with amazing stories. The property was beautiful and spacious. Also lots of opportunity to socialize with the other campers, or do your own thing if that’s what you’re into. Will definitely be coming back!

This was my first time camping so I was a bit nervous for what could entail. Luckily, Kat was and is an amazing host. Not only was she great to talk to, but also accommodating as well. She was able to give my group some fire starter which helped (me) tremendously as well as let us borrow some foldable chairs and some cookware. We decided to camp on the beach which gave us an amazing view of the stars and the lake.

My friend asked me to join her on a last minute camping trip and it was so beautiful and quiet! The parking area was perfect and the walk to the beach tent area was short, flat, and well described! There were other people camping in the woods area but they were respectful and friendly! Kat had sleds for us to put our belongings in to bring them to the beach and it was super helpful and easy! The portable toilets were clean and easy to use as well! An easy and quick drive to grocery stores and Acadia National Park! The sand can get a little muddy with rain but she offered us tarps to use and we had sneakers, it worked out perfectly! It was an amazing quiet, relaxing, beautiful camping experience! I will definitely be coming back!

My friend and I stayed at Soul Serenity Campgrounds as our first camping trip. The campground was beautiful and well kept. Kat, the owner, made everything so easy and inviting. Very good communication. Absolutely loved our stay and would recommend to anybody looking for a quiet campground away from traffic.

Water Runoff

We loved our stay here! We planned our trip to Acadia during peak season so all the sites inside the park were booked, and that led us to find Kat's campground, which we LOVED! It is such a pretty spot, right near Graham Lake, in a quiet and beautiful section of woods. It was super easy to drive to and from Acadia each day, and was actually nice to be a bit removed from the park crowds. Our site, Water Runoff, had a great wood plank platform on which to set up our tent, and a great little fire pit at which we had a nice campfire at night and made camp coffee in the morning. Kat is such a nice and helpful host, and has skillets and cooking grates available to use at the campsites, if desired. She was also just so warm and made us feel really welcomed when we arrived. 100% recommend, and if we come back to Acadia we will try to stay here again!
