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

Lobster, beach views, cozy space!
This was the most unique and wonderful stay we’ve ever had. It felt private but wasn’t too far away from things we wanted to do. Lily is the most accommodating host and was a joy to meet. We will absolutely be back ❤️

Starry-nite Farmhaus Woods on Ocean
Simply amazing!!
Literally the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. we watched the sun and moon rise and set everyday. Water was clear and blue. The area we stayed at was private and never encountered anyone during our stay. Highly recommend!

Quiet Acadia Woods Near Ocean
Great spot!
Such a great location! Beautiful beautiful beach and area. Very quiet and dark at night which is always what we are looking for. Lily was very responsive. Looking forward to visiting again.

Off-grid Oceanfront A-frame Cabin
Magnificent!
No one would blame you for getting up with the sun and heading off to Mt. Desert Island for miles and miles of hiking and views, but you would be missing something special. Waking up with a cup of coffee by the water and preparing breakfast as the tide comes in felt just as significant. We couldn’t help but wake up slow throughout our stay, letting the rhythms of nature dictate our own. After all, the Schoodic area offers plenty of adventure for all speeds to occupy the afternoon. Whether you are staying in or just setting up base camp, you cannot go wrong with this place!

We loved this site. Lily was so helpful with our check-in and our entire stay, and even gave us a detailed guide on things to do in the area. Waking up to the sunrise on the beachfront each day was amazing, and being able to just relax on that same beach in the evening and unwind from the days activities was so nice. We will absolutely be back for our next Maine vacation!
