We welcome campers to the beautiful land where we live, a wooded 4 acres on Birch Point ~ which juts into the lively brackish water bay at the mouth of the Machias River.

Located near the Sauna at the Birch Point Ocean Lookout communal site. 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! Disclaimer for campers with dogs ~ be wary of porcupines! 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. If you have any questions, concerns, recommendations, or constructive critique, we greatly welcome your feedback; we want to be the best Hip-camper hosts we can be. We look forward to welcoming you and your close ones soon for a visit to Birch Point Farm. Thank you, Tyler ~ your host 🤠

Explore the beauty of coastal downeast Maine from this quiet solar powered cabin and campsite along the Pennamaquon River. This remote property is surrounded by woods and connects two beauties--the Pennamaqoun Lake and Passamaquody Bay. The rocky Maine Coast, Reversing falls, the Sunrise Trail and the Moosehorn Wildlife Refuge are all nearby. Going up the river about 1/4 of a mile you will find yourself on a quiet lake where you are more likely to see an eagle than a person. About a 1/4 of a mile downriver you will come to a popular swim hole and rope swing. In the spring you might see spawning alewives. You may see ducks, eagles, king fisher, heron, beaver, turtles (or their nests) and loon right from the dock. You won't need your binoculars to catch site of the occasional Mainer floating by in a handmade wooden boat. If you wave, you might get a wave back. It's a soul restoring place appreciated most by those who like human powered activities--like kayaks, canoes and paddle boards (all provided) and a chance to cook on an open fire. There is a picnic table and 4 Adirondack chairs and no wifi. You might also like to swim or float down the river in an inner tube. You can fish on the dock or from your boat. If you have a bike-- head to the nearby Sunrise Trail or country roads. Head there too, if you have shoes and want a measured run (it goes about 87 miles through field, forest, swamp and bog with mileage noted). Eastport is a nearby seaside town with an arts center, shops and dining about 15 minutes away. You can go whale watching and you might just see porpoise, whales, eagles and Old Sow Whirlpool, the largest whirlpool in the Americas. Or stay on shore, and hunt for sea glass and cool rocks. Grab something to eat while you are there, and check out Don Dunbar's amazing nature photography and local gifts. There is also coastal hiking at Shackford Head. You might also head towards Lubec (about 45 minutes) and go on a coastal hike on the Bold Coast trail, or visit the Quoddy Head Lighthouse or cross the bridge into Canada and visist Campobello. Do not miss Monica and her handmade chocolates! You can also head North on Route 1 and go to Canada, just 30 minutes away. Hope to see you with children and dogs!

Rustic tent site with fire pit, firewood, picnic table, and outhouse. It is a very secluded and quiet site surrounded by birches, spruce, a young maple stand, and some cute fledgling pines. There's open space to the south with sight-lines toward Frenchmans and Flanders Bay. To the north, east, and west, there's about 70 acres of tree-growth with some old logging trails to casually bushwhack if you feel it. There's a glacial erractic (big big boulder) not terribly far from the site. Please note that it is possible to get lost if you go deep (though unlikely). There is proper hiking throughout the area, not least of which is Acadia National Park and Lamoine State Park. But there are hikes even closer. Long Ledges is just a couple miles up the road (off Punkinville, right by the high school). And these trails are ambitious, even connect up all the way to Schoodic Mountain, which in addition to being a great hike on its own, is surrounded by Donnell Pond and Tunk Lake. Further trails throughout and amongst the State Preserve are great. Swim, fish (get a license before doing so), boat (plenty of public landings around to put in a kayak), hangout. Biking is probably best on the carriage roads of Acadia, which are island-side on MDI, or over at Schoodic in Winter Harbor (make a loop starting at Frazier Point). Sullivan has a stretch of the sunrise trail, which is an ATV trail, and which is billed as bike friendly but it's not super great for tires narrower than mountain bikes. Go eat seafood at Tracy's, less than a mile up the road. Eat some ice cream at Shanahan's Sweet Retreat. Dunbar's Store has a good beer selection, carries an assortment of food stuffs including some vegan options-variety is the spice of life. Young's Market has breakfast Sammy's, coffee, pizza, cigs, fuel. Check out our 70 acres in tree-growth with some old logging trails. Casually bushwhack on if you feel it. There's a glacial erratic not terribly far from the site. Please note that it is possible to get lost, though unlikely! Please be courteous and respectful of the land and neighbors. Please be mindful that the Maine region is in moderate drought. Pick up after yourselves. Listen for the wildlife, look before speaking. Enjoy! DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN FIREWOOD! Again, DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN FIREWOOD. There is firewood on site.

The Point is located in Gouldsboro, in Downeast Maine on the Schoodic Peninsula near the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park on occupied Wabanaki land. The point is our home, offered to guests as a place for seekers of peace and solace to gain a better relationship and appreciation with nature in a world that has forgotten the importance and connection we all have with the planet that sustains us. A priority here for me is keeping this land pristine and respected. Our mission to save and protect our natural environment and keep it natural and wild can only be accomplished with the active mindfulness of you. We aim to prove that hipcamp can be a magical experience for private landowners and campers alike, to provide a means of temporal community and beneficial alternative to traditional campgrounds; one that does not degrade the environment and break the peace that small towns still contain. Please be mindful of the trash you generate and mindful of the noise you are making— we aim to provide seekers of peace a *quiet* time in nature. Together we are here to be an example to others of what mindful camping can look like in this changing world. Thanks for caring to come, see, explore, learn and being apart of the solution! <3 We hope to hear from you <3

Wander the Woods Behind the campsite are approximately 70 acres of private woodland with old logging roads to explore. Wander among birch, spruce, maple, and young pine forests, or search for the property's massive glacial erratic—a huge boulder left behind by the last Ice Age. Wildlife sightings are common, and the peaceful setting makes this an ideal place to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with nature. Good to Know The well water is safe to use, though it may appear slightly rusty when first pumped due to the well system. A Brita filter is provided for drinking water. Cell service varies by carrier. Please respect the land, wildlife, and neighboring properties. During dry conditions, use extra caution with campfires and follow any local fire restrictions. Guests consistently tell us the sunsets, star-filled skies, and peaceful setting are what bring them back. If you're looking for a quiet Maine getaway close to Acadia—but far from the crowds—Timber Tent is waiting for you.

43mi from Roque Bluffs State Park · 4 sites · Tents, Lodging

35 minutes to Acadia National Park, 10 minutes to Ellsworth, 40 minutes to Bangor. A very sweet and rustic Hemlock cabin, along with secluded 17' and 14" bell tents, plus 2 private campsites sit along beautiful Webb Brook. Walk through the large open field, away from everything, to this storybook setting. All you can hear is the waters of the brook rushing and sounds of nature all around. Graham Lake is just a stone's throw away. Great for stargazing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. This magical place is just beyond our farm where we you can buy fresh duck eggs daily at the house. In the cabin, upstairs, a lofted queen bed accessed by a sturdy wooden ladder. Downstairs, a wood stove with dining area, and living space with full sized convertible bed. No electricity, no plumbing, no wifi. Good cell service. Composting toilet and water tank for use inside cabin. Gas grill and firepit with tripod grate outside for cooking options. Two large picnic tables for outdoor dining. Truly a magical place. The campsites and secluded 2 bell tent sites are hidden away along Webb Brook, sitting among the pines and hardwoods. Almost 9 acres of land to explore and discover, as well as Graham Lake just a walk away.

Camping here reminded me of dispersed camping in Colorado! So tucked away in nature, the sites are well maintained and offer you everything you need. Couldn’t be happier with our time here!

Weekend Trip to Searenity Beachfront Land Off Grid

We tent camped and loved it. There was enough space for a medium sized tent, camp kitchen, car, and the fire ring. The view was fantastic! I could sit and watch the lobster boats all day! Will certainly come back.

Weekend Trip to Searenity Beachfront Land Off Grid

We were tent camping for three days. The site was truly lovely. Bit challenging to find level site without roots but we managed with a ground cover tarp. Spent the days hanging out-in front of the fire on the cliff edge with a beautiful view, walking rocky beach and managing a cold dip and wellll eating. Nap in the hammock under trees. There were a few other tent campers in the adjacent sites so lacked complete privacy but they were gone much of day and everyone quiet. FYI the Lobster boats were not! (Early morning typical Maine). Kristopher easily available and pleasant-but also non-intrusive if you don’t want to interact. We did both. We will likely return -worth a seven hour drive.

Wow, what a beautiful spot! We stayed at Overlook and it felt very private and yet open to the view! We have a little teardrop camper and it was a little tough backing in, but worth it to wake up to the view of water and islands.

The view was stunning, sunset and sunrise right on the beach area. We got to watch seals right from our camp site. They were around for about an hour. Area was clean, quiet, secluded. Had sunny open spots and shaded wooded spots. Perfect little get away!

Weekend Trip to Salt and Oak Farm

This was a wonderful stay. It was easy to book last minute. The cabin is cute, candle lit, fire pit on some canals. The cabin was clean, bed was comfortable and it was quiet and private. Would recommend staying here to any one or two people.

Weekend Trip to River to Lake Camping and Cabin

This was peaceful and gorgeous spot to enjoy the beauty of Downeast Maine. There is plenty of great level tent space and the cabin is a nice little respite with just the necessities. A perfect spot to relax a bit, yet be close enough to lots of the best trails and towns of the area.

Weekend Trip to Searenity Beachfront Land Off Grid

Kristopher's beach front camp sites are well spread out. Our closest neighbor was ~300 feet away. Jonesport has beautiful oceanfront and is not teaming with tourists. We took a nice hike on Great Wass Island Preserve - again not super crowded with tourists. We stayed at the middle camp site on the beach at Kristopher's place. I would recommend that one. Kristopher was very available and passed through the campsites twice per day.

Weekend Trip to Searenity Beachfront Land Off Grid

I stayed here on my way up to Princeton before a week of small mouth fishing. I was looking for a quiet beach night to just cook and watch the sunset and that's exactly what you get here at this great spot. I woke up to the sunrise aswell and the lobster crews heading out for a haul. The ease of directions and overall experience of the area was amazing. It's almost like it's Maine cape cod. The only thing I didn't remember was the bug screen for the awning!

Beautiful property. Great hosts. Sites are spacious and spaced out nicely. The swimming hole behind Otter site was a nice spot for a dip. If you’re looking for amenities look elsewhere. If you want quiet and relaxing and close to the Bold Coast you found it.

6 nights at Downeast Retreat

What stood out for us about Downeast Retreat was the hospitality, the efficient, clean and the aesthetically pleasing venue itself. The facilities and amenities were modern, well taken care of and thoughtfully set up. This is a unique property that offer offers comfortable and well designed suites, tenting, and RV spots. The location is private, quiet and close to many interesting opportunities for hiking, biking, four wheeling, boating, and exploring. The hosts are professional, friendly and helpful. It was nice to experience the sounds of the surrounding woods, meet interesting people who stayed at this location, feel safe and well taken care of.
