- my location is your vacation - 450 feet of cove frontage as part of historic and culturally relevant "Anthony's Beach" and adjacent to Cobscook Bay State Park. Paved boat launch next door, with a dock over there. Undisturbed forest surrounds my land, thick stands of trees along the road and all around. Maine classes this type of property as Remote Primitive camping. Take out your own trash, small bags for gas station trash cans, and bring some water. People marvel at the property and relax. Hand carry launch very close to the shore embankment campsites. This scant-settled area of coastal Maine is a necessary stop on your journey and meet the world's first temporary housing celebrity.

Blueberry Land Tent Platforms

Pembroke, ME · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
We have four raised platforms, accessible by car, each with a canvas-covered A-frame
Each platform is nested in their own private setting around the edges of our 12-acre organic blueberry barren. All four platforms are fully screened-in, with stylish canvas-covered timberframes and circular red doors. These canvas tents are relatively bug-proof and waterproof; you do not need to bring a tent! You do need to bring your own bedding. ***If you are particularly sensitive to bugs, you may want to bring your own tent (to put inside our tent) or a mosquito net. This is the Northeast during the summertime, we cannot ensure there will be no bugs.
Blueberry Land is part of Smithereen Farm, but is located around the corner from our Home Farm on Youngs Cove Road, near Reversing Falls.
This is an off grid, rustic site with only a port-a-potty. If you need to use any other amenities, you are welcome to use the WIFI, fill your water bottles, charge your electric vehicle and buy supplies at the Smithereen Farmstore (12 Little Falls Road, Pembroke). We sell cold drinks, beer and wine, frozen fish, meat, our own fruit popsicles, also organic veggies, honey, products from many local and Maine farms, camping supplies, ready to eat food, snacks, chocolates and even fresh baked cookies. Park at the store, and then jump into the Pennamaquan River (two dams, a rope swing) to cool off after exploring the town.
Note: there is no potable water at the site, you will need to bring a vessel and fill up in town.
There are beautiful walking, biking and canoeing opportunities in every direction—check out Cobscook Shores, Downeast Coastal Conservancy trails by Reversing Falls, Maine Coast Heritage trails on the Bold Coast and at Sipps Bay, Nature Conservancy trail at Hersey Point, Shackford head at Eastport, and of course much more on Campobello.
Blueberry bushes are low, native, fruit-growing, covered in flowers in spring and then berries in summer, turning bright bright red in the fall when kissed by frost. Our blueberries are certified organic by MOFGA and surrounded by birch, fir, spruce and flowering perennial beds to improve insect habitat. Please DO NOT DRIVE/ tread ON THE BERRIES, they are food that we harvest and sell!
Park in the parking lot, three sites are immediately visible, the fourth site is a further drive down the road, past the port-o-potty, in the back field, to the left. Low hung vehicles beware! If in doubt park in the parking lot.
Upon booking, we will send you a PDF welcome packet filled with helpful information about the farm, local sites to see, and a comprehensive list of our recommendations. We will say it again: remember to prepare for MOSQUITOES in summer!
We really recommend you approach Washington County as an opportunity to PICNIC! The "dining out" options are limited. Bring a pocketknife, a frying pan, a big cooler for butter and milk with ice packs so you can pick up local crabmeat (Betty's Crabmeat) and mayo and salads (Smithereen Farmstore) and eggs from ends of driveways, bring a cutting board—a big water jug, a camp stove/kettle, more warm socks than you think you need... and a sense of adventure! We have a EAT DOWNEAST digital map, guidebook and brochure at the Farmstore you can pick up a copy or download from our website. Thank you for taking the time to support supporting local farmers and food businesses of Washington County!
We wish you a pleasant stay all the way DOWNEAST!

*Events-Sept 12th Annual Wellness Fundraiser- Raffle, food, fire, music, games! Enjoy the festivities and a 2nt stay minimum with a discount.
Beach tenting opens end of June.
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. If available we offer massage therapy, yoga, energy work, and bodywork, (to name a few) 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 expand on this campground until it's full vision is a reality. For 2026 we have a few campsites, some have platforms, some without. The plan this year is to add a cabin, woodshed, bathroom and work on the trail system. 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. There's no running water, not much cell service, no electricity. Park at the main road and bring your camping items into the woods. Your site will be labeled. Trash in, trash out. Firewood for sale, camping gear for rent. 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. Friends and Family Market on rte 1A is the closest resupply.

Important** ~ Birch Point Farm is a living farm & communal sanctuary we wish to share with you. If you're looking for total privacy this may not be the place for you. If you're squeamish about off-grid living and outhouses this may not be the place for you. All amenities at Birch Point Farm are shared with the exception of your camp-site.
Lately: We have transformed our outhouse to a composting toilet & added privacy curtains and a new door. We have discontinued the private use of the Birch Point Ocean Lookout site and transformed it into a communal site where Sauna & Outhouse can be found. This ensures an extra layer of privacy being that the outhouse is not located near any private site. We've made new fun signage for everything to accommodate you in case we are unavailable upon your arrival!

We supply firewood. There is a communal Fire Pit & Cob Oven near the main house & Sauna at the Ocean Lookout. We do charge an additional $20 per party to use the Sauna and/or Cob Oven. Cash/Venmo.

We had atvs and enjoyed riding! And I must say, that has to be the nicest outhouse we have ever seen! The campground is nice and groomed and kept up beautifully! Lots of wood provided!

Our second trip to Piscataquis Point was great. The river was nice and high. We saw a canoe go by which was quite the contrast from our trip in October after that long drought.
There were tons of Tiger Swallowtails puddling along the river banks and a double sunbow that made the quiet trip magical. Campsites are beautifully kept up, plenty of firewood, and the outhouse is clean and has a few handy things you might have forgotten.
The grill for the fire pit is sweet, we didn’t pack our propane grill this time because it was so convenient.
The host Kyle is very responsive to messages making it easy and stress free.

This spot has taken over as the BEST Hipcamp yet! We tow a 30’ Winnie Minnie travel trailer. We drove into the site after looking at it by walking in on the short driveway. We wanted the camper awning facing the water view. It was tight so we had to back out, which was a breeze with the very wide driveway!
We fished from the bank. Caught a Pickerel and sunfish. I might have left a couple lures in a tree (I’m a beginner!). Our Golden Retriever loved swimming!!!
Hookups are great! Just be sure to bring a long electrical hookup if you have a larger RV with hookups at the rear.
Wood was on site that could be purchased. Great sitting area on the lower leveled space with picnic table, fire pit and seating. A short path leads you to the bank of the shore.
Neighbors are barely visible and were very good at keeping their dogs under their control (always important to us as we have one dog who is pretty picky about canine friends).
We will absolutely be back!!

It’s our 4th time staying here. Perfect basecamp for the area. Firewood spring water, dawn bird chorus songs including the call if the loon as you look out on the rolling tide…what could be better?

Micheal was so nice and had a great camp site for us to stay at for a few days. About 30/40 minutes from Acadia, so it made for a perfect site for us!

This camp was absolutely amazing. Water was a bit high & fast for fly fishing, but it didn’t matter all that much. Spent most of Saturday in the tent due to rain, but it finally cleared up late afternoon. Will definitely book this site again.

Very private and peaceful. Well-maintained and close to Acadia National Park. Stayed for a couple of nights and used it as a home base as we explored the surrounding nature. Great spot, would recommend!

Fantastic location just about 30 minutes away from Acadia National Park! The site was clean and clearly well-maintained. We spent two peaceful nights here and loved ending our days by the firepit. It's the perfect home base for exploring the area

Another great stay! Spread out sites not far from Ellsworth and Acadia just off the beaten path to feel out there. Michael is friendly and creating a campground for the people and not for the profits. Excited to see how it evolves

Amazing spot! Spent the evening and morning fishing the brook, having a fire, and hanging out in the cabin. Cabin had plenty of sleeping space and was super comfy. We had access to fresh water and the option to buy firewood. The wood stove in April was a great luxury.
