I can’t say enough great things about this spot! My dog and I stayed for two and a half months and easily could have stayed twice as long. -The location is perfect — tucked in a residential area that offers plenty of privacy and peace, yet surrounded by friendly neighbors so it never feels isolated. You’re close to everything: most Acadia trails on Mount Desert Island are within a 25-minute drive, with many even closer (10-15 minutes). Bar Harbor is just 10 minutes away, offering great restaurants, shops, boat tours, and more. -The Wi-Fi is fast and reliable — I work remotely full-time from my rig and never had a single issue, even with constant Zoom and Teams video meetings. -Scott, the host, is fantastic — friendly, responsive, and genuinely welcoming, with excellent local recommendations. -It’s also a dog-friendly spot. There’s plenty of grassy space for short walks, and the lawn was mowed weekly, which I really appreciated. -The full hookups were in excellent condition and worked perfectly. There’s even a garden hose attached to the water line for convenience. -Parking was a breeze — the site is spacious and easy to maneuver into no matter the size of your rig. I live in a 30-foot Airstream and had no trouble backing in at all. Overall, this was one of my favorite stays — private, convenient, well-maintained, and hosted by someone who truly cares. Highly recommend!

We loved camping on Jeff’s land! The site was perfectly secluded yet easy to access from the main road. Both sun rise and sun set here were breathtaking, not to mention a dazzling view of the night sky. 10/10. We will be back!

Leketa is a great host. When we arrive she took time to drive to our cabin and make sure we have everything we need. She was very responsive throughout our stay. The cabin itself was lovely and the lake was so peaceful.

I only stayed one night, but it was absolutely terrific. The spot is beautiful, peaceful, and really well cared for. You can tell Leketa and Hillary put a lot of thought into the small touches — it made all the difference. I’m so happy I got to experience it, even briefly, and I’ll definitely make the time to come back someday.

Site was clean, roomy, quiet, and very private. There were ample trees around but a clear view of the sky for Starlink. Jane communicated with us in advance and made sure that we had clear directions to the site. We were visiting friends in Castine and this was a perfect home base for our visit.

We stayed in site 1 and we loved the privacy of our site. It was spacious and had both sunny and shady areas. I was able to put my solar panels out to charge the battery and they got full sun. I also left them out for two days without worrying about them getting stolen or something. Jane was responsive, communicated with us as needed and met us on our arrival. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend Jane's place.

Great easy spot to camp. Jane was an excellent host. We were in for a quick stop on a road trip and it was perfect. The beach was only 5 min down the road!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The cabin was cozy with everything we needed for cooking right on hand. Super easy to get to, which made the trip more relaxing. The location was prime, about 100 yards of waterfront to enjoy, with sunny mornings and shady afternoons that were perfect for hanging out. Our two dogs had the best time. We’d absolutely come back!

Had such a great time here! Jeff and his wife were very welcoming and answered all of our questions about local activities. The lake is great for SUP, and our dog had a great time exploring. So amazing to wake up and go on a morning dog walk and not see any people! Thank you Jeff!

It was the perfect spot to camp for our bioluminescence kayak tour. It was very close to town but very quiet and in the country. Large site for our tent with a soft ground. Great, communicative host. We would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Double Yolk Farm

Such a gem of a campsite! And amazing, kind hosts. The site itself is down an old stagecoach road lined with apple trees — very secluded with no other campers around. We brought our paddleboards, spent the day on the water, followed it up with a hot outdoor shower, and topped it off with fresh strawberry shortcake and jamaican jerk chicken from Beth’s farm market down the road. So good! Nearby: So much. Beth’s, which is right down the road, really has everything you could need for a camping weekend. You’re also close to Warren (St. George Pizza), Waldoboro (Odd Alewives, Idas Wine Bar @ The Waldoboro Inn, The Waldo Theatre), Thomaston (Uproot Pie Co @ Carriage House), Rockland (Cafe Grazie, Sammy’s Deluxe, Luce Spirits, The Farnsworth Museum), Rockport (Seafolk Coffee), and Camden (Winona’s, First Fig, Megunticook Lake, Camden Hills State Park) Amenities: There’s a platform for your tent, a picnic table, firepit, and adirondack chairs. When we showed up, the hosts left fresh cut flowers at the site for us. There was also a little toilet + trashbag set up but we just used our luggable loo camp toilet + wag bags.

Hillside Campsite South is incredibly convenient for anyone wanting access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor! There are two sites next to each other that are spacious and level with easy access in and out. The host Scott is very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. The site itself is actually part of a hotel in Bar Harbor, so you have access to the laundry facilities and pool at the hotel. Some folks may not like that the water pressure can vary (not sure if that's dependent on if the neighbors were using water, but there were times when the pressure would drop very low) and garbage needs to be taken to a dumpster about 5 minutes away (not a big deal). Otherwise, you can walk or bike into Hull's Cove on sidewalks and even access the Carriage roads of Acadia! Highly recommend this site!

Really nice site, very well kept and clean. Little bit of a rough drive on in from the main road, just to be aware- nothing tricky. Felt special with the couple extra amenities and was perfect for night on a long road trip. Thanks so much!
