The campsite offers a unique experience with its proximity to nature and the chance to hear wolves howling at night, adding an adventurous touch to your stay. Campers have praised Heather and her team for their hospitality and the seamless check-in process. However, some guests noted that the site is close to the highway, which can bring noise, and the amenities are quite basic, with a portapotty and an outdoor shower available. Despite the rustic nature of the site, it remains a popular choice due to its location near Acadia, making it a practical base for exploration.

HipCamp is awesome, what a find!

Camping with Wolves

Great location for exploring the Bar Harbor area without all the crowds and congestion. Locked gate provides security and access was hassle free with use of your own key. Minimal personnel contact for check in and check out. BJ and Heather were wonderful hosts, we will be returning soon and hopefully often!

Camping with Wolves

Heather was very friendly and let us know about the northern lights the night of our stay. It was easy to check in and check out and everything was as described. This is a safe camp site behind a locked gate.

Camping with Wolves

The space allotted to us was SO spacious, and listening to the wolves chitter and howl at night was so cool! Beautiful property and great proximity to Acadia. My group also rented the barn loft, and that was a really unique and comfortable space for my friends who didn’t have camping gear. Having access to a hot shower was a huge plus! Heather was so generous and understanding while I tried to wrangle multiple people together and iron out plans, and I really appreciated her flexibility! Would definitely recommend to a friend!

I needed a last minute spot for the night and they were able help me out. Pulled in late and left early but hope to engage more next time!

Camping with Wolves

It was a chill spot to camp for a couple of nights. It's next to the highway so there are car sounds but it's secluded enough to where you don't feel like you're being watched. The bathroom was just a porta potty and I didn't try their outdoor shower. Worked well in the fall time! But there weren't any trees in our campsite so I'd imagine it gets quite toasty in the summer.
