The Evergreen Conservation Area was recognized as a federal conservation area starting in 2020. There are several miles of well maintained trails through the deep forest and along the pristine waterfront. This is a secluded conservation area with two remote cabins. This is a unique opportunity: you will have the entire conservation area and the two mini cabins just for your group.  (Even if you only have one person or a small group you are still welcome to reserve the site.)This is a secluded conservation area with two remote cabins. This is a unique opportunity: you will have the entire conservation area and the two mini cabins just for your group.  (Even if you only have one person or a small group you are still welcome to reserve the site.) The lake cabin and campsite are situated at a panoramic point on Black Brook Pond. Campers can choose to stay in the two cabins or camp in tents. There are 2 kayaks and a canoe available for no extra charge. The lake cabin is a single room cabin with one double bed and a bunk bed with sweeping lake views. The forest cabin is a single room cabin with two double beds and small open loft.  There are five beds total, but can sleep 8 if doubles are used.  (These are platform beds. Bedding is not supplied.) These are "primitive" cabins, they are solid, warm, and dry but have no running water, insulation or electricity.  Tents can also be set up for extra sleeping areas. Please note the pond is very shallow in this area so swimming is not available here but there are many lake and river swimming areas nearby.  Please note the parking area is a 10 minute walk from the cabins. This is not an RV camping site, sorry. (However you park an RV in parking area then walk to cabins and tent areas.) You may bring up to a total of 8 guests if you share a beds or use tents. Groups of over 8 people will be considered on a case by case basis. Please contact host for more information. Please note: this is not your typical drive up campsite. It is a short hike to your campsite and you need to collect your own firewood. However if you have done remote camping before or are excited to try new adventures, you will be able to enjoy a hidden spot of Maine! Because cabins are not heated, the season will close in November.

Cozy cabin camping
After camping somewhere with a 2 mile walk to the site, we almost got scared of by the reviews some people left. We're so happy we took a chance. The walk from the car only took five minutes, and we decided making multiple trips to carry gear was well worth it. The mossy trails are so beautiful, and we loved how truly enchanting the cozy cabin site was. This is a place we won't soon forget. We're so grateful that a place like this exists!

End of summer stay
Dan’s camp is perfect for those looking to disconnect & reconnect with their adventure partner(s)! The cabin on the water is *chef’s kiss* plenty of room & even mattresses for the platform beds! You’re greeted with a lovely view of the pond & the sound of loons. We stayed at the cabin on the water, but the cozy cabin looked great, too! The walk to the cabins is not too far at all, but carrying gear backpack style definitely makes it easier. We loved the mossy trails & so did our pups. Having access to canoe/ kayaks was also an added touch we were so grateful for. Simply put we loved our stay & hope to be back!

The cabin on Dan’s land was amazing! He provided a canoe which provided hours of fishing fun! It was quiet and secluded which made for a perfect get away. The mossy walk in was truly magical - I would love to come back!

Beautiful spot with amazing lake view. Well built cabin with screens to view lake if raining. Fire pit, kayaks and canoes were easily accessible.

Great stay at Evergreen Conservatio
Such a cool place:) My dogs had a blast! You definitely need to be prepared for the hike to and from your parking spot. To reduce the number of trips: Plan to bring only what you need each day. I recommend leaving a big cooler at your car and only bringing a smaller cooler down to the cabin (refilling each day). And if you use a wagon, definitely get an off-road one.

Great place
I loved camping here! The cabins are beautiful and the lake cabin is right on the edge of the pond with breathtaking views. It is very remote and I did not hear a single other person when I was there. It is very peaceful and the hiking trails on the land are very nice as well. It is the perfect place for peace and quiet and beauty. The directions getting there were spot on and I had no issue finding it. Overall a great experience. If you are thinking about staying here, the answer is yes!
