Happy Dwelling rests on 8 acres of land. Woods create a private and peaceful stay. You may enjoy starry night skies and soft orange sunrises. Just a short walk, is the lovely Sunrise Trail, a converted old train line, for biking, walking, four-wheeling, and horseback riding. Lakes are close by for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Learn more about this land: Open green space surrounded by pine trees. The sites are nestled in spaces surrounded by trees for a sense of peace and privacy. Firepits are at each site. Also on-site, chair and table massage by appointment (I am the Massage Therapist!). We built a new outhouse! It's beautiful! Potable water is available by hose from my house. There are lots of hiking trails in the area. If you're interested in touring some of the towns nearby, Lubec, Eastport, Machias, and Campobello Island are all good choices. And, they all have a hiking trail or two, and I place to have lunch

Site 3 - Happy Dwelling Tent & RV

Not very private, but ok.

I would definitely pick site 5 next time to have more privacy. I would highly recommend having a small table of sorts at the sites. It would make it so much easier. Overall my stay was pleasant.

Site 3 - Happy Dwelling Tent & RV

Convenient location for adventures

The location was great, and site 3 was open and level with low-cut grass with the communal fire pit in the center. One side of the woods line got AM sun and the other side got afternoon sun, but the campsite area itself was shaded the whole day. The other two sites (4 and 5 - we didn’t see markings for 1 and 2) were unoccupied, but looked like they wouldn’t have morning or afternoon sun as much as the communal area. The outhouse was very convenient, and Katherine was very responsive to my message that the toilet bucket was full. Thanks Katherine for providing a convenient spot for our trips to Jasper Beach and the Bold Coast trails!

Site 5 - Happy Dwelling Tent & RV

We stayed in a spacious clearing surrounded by trees. It was quiet, pleasant, and allowed us access to the area without any fussy extras. We would definitely stay again but would add a massage to the package!

Site 2 - Happy Dwelling Tent & RV

July 20, 2024

For me the location worked well as I was meeting up with friends in the area for hiking and evening socializing. I situated in Site 2 as it was an easy in and out place, essentially an open meadow. If I was truly having a camping experience, aside was merely pitching a tent, then the more private woodsy sites would be better. I actually was offered the choice as I was the only camper during my time there.

Site 5 - Happy Dwelling Tent & RV

The camp site was very private. The ground is level with grass/ vegetation over firmer ground/ gravel. You can drive into the sites.- not truly a road but grass covered gravel like surface. Dry even with a downpour. Not far outside East Machias so very convenient for the Downeast coast.

Site 5 - Happy Dwelling Tent & RV

The site was simple just as advertised. A fire pit, outhouse and ground to lay your tent. We set up, went to town to eat and then enjoyed the fire pit that night.
