Borestone Base Camp

We loved our stay here. The yurt-style tent is spacious (it was just 2 of us but we remarked 4 would be quite comfortable). Monica provided plenty of cooking supplies and water. The outhouse was close and the shower very nice and warm. We enjoyed the short walk down to the pond, and loved sitting beside the campfire. Our only complaint was the noise from the road, which was better on weekends vs weekdays and not as bad at night. Other than that we were very happy here and enjoyed meeting Monica and getting some local recommendations (go to Turning Page Farm Brewery!)

Borestone Base Camp

We had an amazing time! The yurt was clean and spacious, beds comfortable. The outdoor kitchenette had the essentials needed for us to cook outdoors and/or fireside. There’s plenty of nearby hiking, from the AT to Borestone Mountain, and Mount Kineo a short drive and ferry ride away. Having access to kayaks allowed us to get out on the pond every morning for sunrise! We were the only ones out there, floating with the mist, the loons, and the bald eagle. Highly recommend partaking in the gourmet breakfast! All ingredients were locally sourced or homemade - a beautiful touch to one of our best and most relaxing and enjoyable vacations yet!

Borestone Base Camp

Beautiful and peaceful.

Super great little camp. Many supply's provided for cooking and comfort. Would absolutley come back. Semi trucks very loud at night though. Very close to the main road. So many different types of birds as well. And the night sky was beautiful from the dock on the water!

Borestone Base Camp

Très agréable, en pleine nature. Nous n’avons pas eu de chance sur la météo pour bien profiter du camp. Monica nous a aidé à faire un feu pour griller des chamallows, ce fut une belle expérience. Pensez bien à l’anti moustique 😅

Borestone Base Camp

The yurt was very spacious and the beds were super comfortable! Potable water was provided and easily accessible, and there’s a little path straight to the lake that has a stunning view and Monica provided cooking utensils/equipment that made our lives much easier. She was prompt to respond and provided very clear, useful instructions on how to get to the site and how to use the amenities. We would definitely stay here again (:
