in The Wright Homestead, MaineRob M.recommends this listing.
I was actually in their absolutely beautiful yurt! It's an amazingly cozy setup. A beautiful little structure, greatly appreciated since it was raining the night I camped there! It's a cute little farm with a great view of the surrounding forested hills.

So much fun. Very secluded and quiet and beautiful site. Outdoor shower was lovely. Also got to meet some wolves. Hosts were very kind and friendly. Really one of the most memorable camping experiences and super positive.

What a beautiful place! The hosts were very kind and still gave me much privacy. I had a fantastic time hiking around the woods on the property, and the duck pond should not be missed. I also enjoyed swimming in the river. One major plus is it is the very end of a road so very easy to find.
Past trip
in The Upper Farm, MaineRob M.recommends this listing.
What a beautiful place! I got to camp in a very private field, far away from any structures. If it hadn't been raining, I think it would have been great for star gazing. I had a lot of fun meeting the alpacas, and the hosts were really kind and gracious. Overall, this was a great place to stop for the night. Another note: compared to finding many hipcamp sites, finding this was incredibly easy--- it's the only thing at the dead end of a road.

Isolated retreat
in Cranefly Farm, MaineRob M.recommends this listing.
(Dispersed site)
This was such a cool place to stay! I had a wonderful time as the host showed me how to get down to the stream (about a 10 minute walk through the woods), which I repeated a few times to go swim. A beautiful walk. The hosts were gracious and kind, gave me options, and generally left me alone if I didn't obviously want to talk. I had the option to stay in a really awesome structure (the "fort"). It's a small structure with a massive presence; small doorways and windows into a building walled by a vertical stump, living trees, and many evergreen boughs. It looks like it could be straight out of the neolithic except for the waterproofing vinyl layer barely viable in the roof. Overall, a very fun and amazingly memorable stay!
Past trip
Maine Woodland Retreat
in Enchanted Forest!!, MainePast trip
in Three Ravens' Farm, MaineRob M.recommends this listing.
This was a great farm to camp at. The actual site I camped in was right by the side of a lake, in the forest. I had a few options to choose from, and I chose the one closest to the water, although that meant I was closer to their neighbors. It was great to hear the loons and get to swim.
The hosts were super kind and gracious, and took a lot of time to make sure the site was fine for me. I really had a great time getting to meet them and would definitely go there again.
Past trip
in A safe place to stay on the way, MaineRob M.recommends this listing.
This was a pretty great place to spend the night. The site is pretty private--- although it's not far from the host's home, it's quite screened by trees. The place is pretty straightforward to find; I had a bit of trouble, but it was at night and pouring rain, so I think it would be easy under more normal conditions.
The host left me alone, which was nice.
Past trip
in Tir na nOg Farm, MaineRob M.recommends this listing.
This was an absolutely amazing place to stay. The hosts were super friendly, and I had a great time hanging out with them (and, notably, they asked me first if I just wanted to be left alone, which I didn't). The site I camped in was deep in the woods, not really close to the farm at all, although it wasn't a long walk away. It felt very private; although I could still hear the roosters in the morning, mostly I just heard frogs, a babbling brook, and (other) birds. I was really happy to meet the amazing hosts, and their really friendly dogs.

J's River View Farm Campsite
in J's Riverview Farm Campsite, MaineRob M.recommends this listing.
Great site, beautiful and next to the river. Host was very kind and accommodating. Very much enjoyed the stay there, especially as I got to swim in the Saco river and meet some chickens and goats.
Rob hasn't gone on any trips yet.
