16 acres hosted by Catherine G.

1 tent site

We love our woodsy off grid lifestyle and are excited to share with others! About this land: We have a beautiful, thickly forested 16 acres 30 minutes from coastal Belfast near the Common Ground fairgrounds and Unity Pond / Lake Winnecook in Unity. We live in Wabanaki Alliance territory, on unceded Passamaquoddy land. A right-of-way going through the property offers great viewing, walking, biking, ATVing, horseback riding, birding, xc skiing, or snowmobiling. Bushwack to a swimming hole to escape the bugs and heat. Or, give us tips on our disc golf half-course (lots of putting). You will select from a variety of primitive campsites (all more than 150 feet from parking!) offering private commune with nature, and the nearby town of Unity can satisfy your need for near music, drinks, or socializing. We recommend you bring your own water, as our well is of questionable quality and far to haul. Please do not bring outside wood. We have rentable bikes and kayaks so long as you have a way to carry them (no racks).We have a beautiful, thickly forested 16 acres 30 minutes from coastal Belfast near the Common Ground fairgrounds and Unity Pond / Lake Winnecook in Unity.

The Sanctuary

The elevated platform was a treat. The location was perfect. And the woods were private and peaceful.

The Sanctuary

The land is beautiful and as described. There is a very cool tent platform and great fire pit down a short trail. It’s a very peaceful place where we heard owls and coyotes and it felt nicely tucked away. Would definitely come back, Catherine was a great host.

The Sanctuary

Loved this spot so much! It was a great secluded spot. There was a platform available for tent set up, but we opted to stay close to the fire pit (which isn’t far). We bought 2 bundles of wood and it was supplied for our 3 night stay. The toilet worked perfectly! Catherine was a great host and met us when we arrived. We had a great time here!

The Secret Forest

The campsite was peaceful. It was just far enough in the woods that it allowed you the illusion of escaping to a secret forest. If you wish to visit the sanctuary, make sure you drive carefully on the road, listen to the wind in the trees and bring a wagon to carry your belongings to stay awhile.

The Sanctuary

This is a fantastic site if you want to get away from it all and be in the stillness of the Maine woods. The hosts were very communicative, and helpful to us getting set up when we arrived. I camped at the tent site, and from there you can see the yurt, however nobody was staying there while we were there so we literally heard no humans besides ourselves while we were there. But either way, I would go back!

The Sanctuary

This was a perfect primitive campsite, that was private and in a beautiful location. Perfect distance to walk to the Common Ground Fair (took about an hour and was a beautiful trail). Short walk to campsite and was fully stocked with firewood ready to have a lovely night!
