Location: Property has no immediate neighbors around but is surrounded by 65 acres of public preserve land with trails through woodlands; magical forest & walkable beach. Feels at most times like a private beach but site is not fully private. there is another cabin and a campsite nearby. A-frame is away from the crowds of the park and just far enough off Route 1 that the noise of engines is barely audible. There are two other tent sites, one other cabin and our home here, spaced adequately apart. In summer months lobster boats will hum about the bay extracting their bounty from the sea. We urge & encourage guests to fully maximize relaxing and spend a full day here on the property and in the area, rather than just using the site as a launching off pad for traversing the main part of acadia on Mount Desert island. For this reason we do not accept one and two night bookings, to reduce rapid turnover of guests. Privacy: during the day you might encounter the seldom friendly hiker or another one of our guests on the beach and trails on the neighboring preserve. There is a curtain in the cabin for privacy. More prevalent than hikers are deer, bald eagle, sea birds, wild turkey, chipmunks, red squirrel and the occasional porcupine. In the water are small seal, loons, porpoise (dolphins), duck, heron. Cabin: is V RUSTIC, from 70's;; cabin is hot/cold proportionally to outdoor temps. The window is dirty between the panes but it’s also arched and uniquely beautiful. You are camping. There are bugs. You’re in the woods. Maine has mosquitos, no-seeums, black flies, ticks, horseflies and fireants in the summer months and I can't control this. Pack good bug dope, smoke em out! If you are looking for a high amenity glamping experience with electricity and showers, check out Under Canvas in Surry & Terramor in Bar Harbor. Closest campgrounds if we are booked: Acadia East, Acadia Seashore, West Bay, Mainayr. ABOUT US: I love being able to share our property meeting travelers from all walks of life! My background is in culinary/hospitality. My live-in partner Daniel is a carpenter and former fisherman from Chicagoland.

Our stay at The Point Campground was absolutely wonderful! Tucked away just minutes from Acadia National Park, this spot is a peaceful, rustic retreat that lets you truly connect with nature. The location is perfect—close to amazing hikes, scenic coastal drives, and Bar Harbor, but still far enough removed to feel secluded and serene. The campsites were spacious and well-maintained, with plenty of tree cover and privacy. We stayed in a tent site, and waking up surrounded by the sounds of the forest was the perfect way to start each day. While The Point doesn’t have showers, that’s part of its charm—it’s a true camping experience that encourages simplicity and being outdoors. There are clean restrooms, and everything else you need to be comfortable.

Beautiful campsite

With pets ·

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the wagon cabin! The view from the deck outside the cabin was a beautiful place to sit and relax or do a little yoga. Sunset was gorgeous and it was great to be able to bring our dog- who also had a great time! The location was close enough to make a day trip into Acadia, but provided the privacy that we were looking for in a campsite. Lily was an excellent host, she checked in throughout our stay and was very helpful in providing any information we needed. The Porto-potty was clean and easy to get to. We would love to visit again!!

Serenity

I loved camping at Lily's. Waking up to the birds and the sound of the water was wonderful. The serenity surrounding the rustic camp is perfect. It is an short walk to the camp site so bringing your gear, water and supplies was easy to do in multiple trips. Host gives you your privacy; which i feel is a bonus , but is easily attentive if one needs. I am looking forward to returning to this special place.

A wonderful windy weekend!

What a beautiful spot! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views, the sunshine, and having the cabin to refuge in as we were there on a particularly windy day! The cabin was beautifully set-up as a peaceful retreat with chairs on the porch overlooking the ocean - which made a lovely sunset viewing spot. Lily made us feel super prepared with all of her instructions and was a warm & kind host. The cabin was the perfect spot for us, who usually do tent camping, but were a little nervous to do it so early in the season (April) with such unpredictable weather. We loved being able to enjoy nature, while still having the cabin-structure to relax in when it got a little too brisk/windy. We had an amazing stay and would hope to one day return!

No one would blame you for getting up with the sun and heading off to Mt. Desert Island for miles and miles of hiking and views, but you would be missing something special. Waking up with a cup of coffee by the water and preparing breakfast as the tide comes in felt just as significant. We couldn’t help but wake up slow throughout our stay, letting the rhythms of nature dictate our own. After all, the Schoodic area offers plenty of adventure for all speeds to occupy the afternoon. Whether you are staying in or just setting up base camp, you cannot go wrong with this place!

We loved this site. Lily was so helpful with our check-in and our entire stay, and even gave us a detailed guide on things to do in the area. Waking up to the sunrise on the beachfront each day was amazing, and being able to just relax on that same beach in the evening and unwind from the days activities was so nice. We will absolutely be back for our next Maine vacation!

Loved camping at Lily’s cabin! Cabin is so cute and roomier than it looks in the pictures. Beautiful view with beach front access! Beach is public so we did occasionally see people walk by but otherwise felt very private. Overall had a great experience. The only things you should know are as it says in the description it is a 300 ft walk from your car to the site over very uneven ground so was a little difficult getting our gear to cabin. Second the fire ring is on the beach not on your campsite. To get to the beach you have to go down a ledge over tree roots. Probably not a bid deal for most people ( I personally had no trouble). However my husband recently had back surgery and my dog has a knee issue so it made getting to the beach a little tricky for them. Just something to think about if you have any mobility issues. If you walk maybe 30 feet away from the cabin there are stone steps which both my husband and dog used without issue. Also when the tide is up it covers the fire ring but we used the woodstove and it kept us pretty toasty. Would definitely go back again!

No Crowds, Just Quiet Ocean Woods

Tent ·

Lily is an incredible host! The woods are perfect and beautiful. Quiet and serene, and right on the water. One gets a true sense of the solitude and still (especially if you're coming from the city) a sense of safety. Lily was responsive and even super helpful when we forgot a wine key. She had great tips for hiking, swimming and was fun to chat with. The site is tidy, thoughtful and fairly secluded.

A-Frame camping

My friend and I stayed in the A-Frame and had an excellent time! The property is beautiful, the A-Frame sits directly on the water and has a gorgeous view. We rented the kayaks directly from Lily and were able to take the kayaks out whenever we wanted. While we were here we visited Acadia national park and went for a 9 mile bike ride. Lily was an excellent host and even joined us for the Oyster tour nearby which was excellent, would highly recommend!

A quiet level camping spot. A beautiful beach down below. We spent the whole day on the beach and didn’t see anyone else. The portal up was clean. Lily was a very nice host.

Wonderful spot

With pets ·

Lovey spot. We had a great stay. 30 second walk to the ocean, with kayaks and canoes you can take out for a small fee, a picnic table and fire pit. As a plus, we had no bugs in September.

Gorgeous private spot!

20 ft travel trailer · Group trip ·

Loved everything about this place! Private, quiet spot right on the beach! We stayed for three days and went to explore Acadia each day but also loved our time just walking around the beach there. Our last night we did the add on of the lobster dinner and it did not disappoint! Lily is a great cook and lovely host and we cannot wait to come back… hoping to make it an annual camping trip!

Paradise

The A frame is truly exceptional... location is perfection, and the cabin is private and has everything you need. Lily is attentive & available. I feel really lucky to have stumbled upon this hidden paradise.

Worth it!!

This spot is magic. Just as described, and I took a kayak around Hog Island nearby and into one of the most glorious sunsets I've ever seen. Definitely a worthy stop and there was enough privacy here where I could cook food, play music, and hang out without fear of bothering other campers.

Awesome Campsite!

Lilly is an incredible host with tons of local knowledge. The site is an awesome location on the bay right on Taft Point. We loved it so much, we stayed an extra day!

Remote, Private, Bayfront Campsite

20 ft campervan ·

I loved camping on Lily's land in Maine! Beautiful & private! Location: It was close enough to attractions (about 1 hr from Bar Habor Maine's Downtown) & Cadillac Mountain, but a WORLD AWAY! This was exactly what I was looking for -an escape from the hustle & bustle. Lily's directions were good! It was our fault we drove in after dark. The remote road into the camp is very narrow (one car) & dark - so campers, I'd plan to arrive in the daylight. There are excursions I wish we had time for! Check those out! We did bring our blowup Kayak & went out close to high tide which was fun ! It's seawater & there are pretty big tide fluctuations (like any seaside/bay). We stayed close to the shoreline to play it safe. We also saw a BALD EAGLE our first morning! There is only 1 other campsite for the public on the property. It's this gentle almost spiritual silence that connects you to the land. Only tip for Lily would be to mark the way into her campsite, as well as the actual camp areas with reflective tape cut into arrows pointing the way with HipCamp (or the name of each campsite) to make it ultra easy arriving late at night to know where to turn & exactly where to park. Vans-Bring leveling blocks as there is a slight incline. Best parts: Natural beauty/remoteness (we didn't mind the 1 car road or darkness at all once we knew the way; it made the experience even MORE private)! Great Experience! One of the BEST! Highly recommend for privacy, natural beauty & great owner!

Spectacular ocean views from property, quiet and peaceful campsite, gracious and communicative host. Thankful for a wonderful few days soaking in the natural beauty, hearing the seals call out from the water and enjoying riveting sunsets.
