Come relax on this private 5 acre waterfront escape. A long driveway will open up into a cleared lot. The end of the driveway is a large crushed gravel parking pad which should easily accommodate any RV or trailer (make sure you back in, there's no room to turn around). The pad is mostly flat, but minor leveling on RV's is probably still needed. Site overlooks Flanders Bay which feeds into Mount Desert Narrows. Watch the family of 5 eagles fly back and forth across the cove and bring binoculars to watch them as they perch in nearby trees. The cove is filled with a variety of seabirds and the occasional harbor seal. You will have complete quiet as you listen to the sounds of forest and coastal life.Property is located 11 miles from Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia National park and a quick 35 miles from Bar Harbor. From May through mid November, site includes access to a HOT outdoor shower, well water, a working sink with hot water. Water is turned off after November 15th until late spring, weather dependent. NEW THIS YEAR- we have installed a 50/30 AMP hookup for trailers/RV's - we do charge $15 extra per night for hookups, please coordinate with us at time of booking if you will need power for your camper - There is an electric outlet for small electronics like laptops/phones/coffee pot, site includes a campfire area, lots of open spaces to pitch a tent, and an outhouse.

Raphaele's campsite offers a mostly serene and private experience with stunning views of the water, making it a strong choice for campers seeking tranquility and nature. The outdoor amenities, like a hot shower and sink, are frequently praised, providing comfort after a day of exploration. Some guests noted the presence of road noise, which could be a concern for those prioritizing absolute quiet. However, the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the helpful host and the campsite's excellent location near Acadia attractions.

Private & Peaceful

10 m Class A

We loved Raphaele’s land! We spent 3 days there, one of them being spent at Acadia. It was so awesome to come back and have a Hot Shower after a long day. GPS takes you past the driveway - it’s the drive with the red buoy! We have a 35 foot bus and we def needed to back down the drive as there is nowhere to turn around. Nice to have an outhouse, land to have adventure walks and the sunset casts a beautiful pink and purple sky over the water. We would for sure go back!

Great place to stay. Very quiet and secluded and super hot showers! We spent a majority of our time in Acadia. About 40-45 minutes drive time. It is off season- which was great, I imagine a bit longer in peak season. Raphaele is very responsive, in a timely fashion.

Lovely view

Tent

I loved tent camping on Raphaele's land. It was very clean and it was so nice having an outdoor shower. The view from the land of the water was very pretty as well.

Nice spot for a 1 night layover

4 m travel trailer

Great location and private. The space however is not quiet and peaceful as you get the route 1 traffic. Outdoor shower and sink were very nice, but the outhouse was not as clean as I'd have hoped for at the cost of this space. Also, for the price of each night, to then also charge $1.50 per piece of wood for the fire pit seemed a bit excessive, but I guess it's a sign of the times and a way to capitalize on the touristy nature of the area these days.

Loved Eagle View Coastal Camp! The view was beautiful & the space was peaceful. Great location between Mt Desert Island & Schoodic Point, just outside of the hustle of both, perfect for relaxing by the fire after a day at the park!
