Birch Gate Campsite
A good spot not too far from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, about 20-30 minute drive. Jedediah, a very down to earth human, promptly greeted us and showed us around. Well water is available. Some firewood was there, but don’t count on foraging much from the property. Overall a solid pick for reasonably priced camping.

Birch Gate Campsite
It was very pretty and I loved the campsites because of the provided raised tent bed area and distance from other campers! Parking was a little confusing when we first got there, but our host was very communicative and that was sorted shortly after arriving.

Wonderful Private Getaway at Birch
We recently stayed at the Birch Gate Campsite within Camps of the Pioneers, Maine, and had an excellent experience. This campsite offers a nice, private space perfect for our family. It comfortably accommodated our four-person tent, with a fire ring and a well-maintained composting bathroom.
Nestled in a lovely evergreen forest, the site provided a serene oasis away from the crowds we encountered just 20 minutes away at Acadia National Park. The peaceful setting allowed us to truly relax and enjoy nature.
Jedidah, our host, was exceptionally kind and helpful, providing us with various pointers that enhanced our stay. His hospitality made our experience even better.
I highly recommend Birch Gate Campsite to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in nature. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Maine.

Excellent. Jedidah is one of the most patient men. But please don't put him through it, we've done enough for the summer (:
We had some stuff break and had to go to Portland so we ended up arriving 2 hours later than originally planned and kept texting him about it. He was kind and helpful. Then we figured out a miscommunication that he didn't know we had a trailer. But we figured it out.
The place he put us was lovely.
We'll definitely be back!

Glamping Near Acadia
Nice and cozy yurt!! Super nice to have potable water he provides and there were other campsites but far enough away that it was still private! Comfortable sleeping spot and sleeping bags were super helpful for us cause we flew in from out of state.

Good time, quiet & basic
Very quiet property, 10 minute drive to Walmart, and restaurants, 30 minutes to Acadia Nat park. The Host Jedidiah met us when we pulled in, and explained everything; how to use the propane lamp, where to park, the bathroom, etc.. This is definitely more off Grid and bare bones than we are used to, but for the right people, this is a great deal!
