FMI on location and terrain visit: https://www.mainetrailfinder.com/trails/trail/allen-whitney-trails. Details on Gary’s Camp: The camp is just miles away from modern conveniences of downtown Manchester and Augusta, Maine yet completely secluded from other homes and roadways. The upstairs loft area sleeps 4 people (4 twin beds, linens not included). Additionally, the sofa in the downstairs living area pulls out as a full-size bed. The camp is wired up for electricity by use of a portable generator full of fuel (no additional fee). For extended stays, guests may need to refill fuel at the nearby service station just 2 miles away. The camp has an outhouse just steps away. A cozy woodstove is located in the downstairs living area and ample firewood is provided. PLEASE NOTE: Gary’s Camp is truly an off grid “glamping” adventure. The camp has no running water (bottled water is provided), no refrigerator (it’s a good idea to bring a cooler), and no access to indoor stovetop cooking. The generator does power up small kitchen appliances (griddle, coffee maker, and toaster on site). We hope you enjoy your Maine “glamping” adventure at Gary’s Camp!
