Best all-around: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

A beautiful island campground thickly forested with spruce, fir, and birch, Four Acre Woods was created over 60 years ago on Sunshine Island, Maine. Under the name Sunshine Campground, it hosted people from all over the world and delivered the spirit and essence of this ancient, abundant land that so many ancestors had roamed and celebrated before. It was open to the public through to the 90s, but then sat alone for 15 years, waiting for someone to revive it and bring it back to the world. Then one day, Caleb and Wolf met on a bus, heading south from Down East Maine, where they instantly connected and joined forces. They worked together redressing a home in Stonington for visitors to experience and became brothers while doing so. Eventually, the presence and opportunity of the campground caught their attention and after working out the technicalities, they worked together to bring this beautiful land and campground back to the people under its new life and name, Four Acre Woods. After opening on July 1st 2020, the land is finally back to sharing all of her beauty and spirit with the people. So, Welcome Home. Sincerely, - Four Acre Woods Caretakers

Heron Hideout (Canvas Tent Rental)

Our stay at this lovely campsite !

We loved our stay at this campground ! Can’t wait to go back and enjoy more of the area and the wood fired sauna ! The campsite was clean, peaceful and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay! Caleb was personable, helpful and friendly. Our pup loved it there too. The tent ( glamping ) was clean and cozy. Community room was a great feature too !

Osprey Perch (20amp Hookup)

Fantastic campground! Particularly this site is very close to the sauna and across the path from the bathhouse. Feels private and cosy.

Loch Ness Lake (RV 30amp)

We loved staying at Four Acre Woods — a cozy campground with wonderful amenities (laundry, showers, bathrooms). The sauna, too, was much-needed on a cold, rainy evening. Good vibes all around. We're hoping to come back earlier in the season next time so we can do a kayaking tour!

Owl Nest (20amp Hookup)

Not exactly what we expected...

We enjoyed our time at Four Acre Woods Campground. The sites were a little smaller than they look in pictures and closer together than I expected, but our huge tent still fit and neighbors were respectful. Owl's Nest was a little slopped, but we angled our beds uphill and had no issues sleeping. My son and I had a lot of fun playing corn hole. We hope to go back.
