One gravel site, suitable for tenting next to the existing Van or RV parking site. I will only accept one camping site per night. Several acres of trails through old fields and woods adjoin the site. Deer, turkeys and ticks are plentiful. Sadie Lane is a very wide gravel road but there is no dedicated turn a round at end.Site is on edge of Sadie Lane, a wide gravel road that I built to access Peary’s Community garden. It is the only site. It fronts on our garden common entertainment and picnic area, where I occasionally host community picnics and pizza parties. You will be the only campers on the 10 acre lot. There may be gardeners working on their plots during the day. The 10 acres is yours to enjoy, but be mindful that Maine has many ticks. The actual camp site is suitable for a small camper or van. Several trees are spread through the site that are perfect for up to ten sleeping hammocks. Sadie Lane is quite wide, but at this time, there is no dedicated turn a round. I have a gravel pad, covered with wood chips, for tent camping, which is adjacent to van/camper parking area. Only one site, but camper/van site and tent pad are rented as one site with possibility of having van with additional tent area about 30 feet away.

Adiquit for a stop over on the way north, the included firewood was appreciated, the outhouse served its purpose and trash disposal was supplied, as another Hipcamps in the area wanted to take it with you, along with human waste.

I loved the campsite. It is very well equipped, clean outhouse with light and hand sanitizer. Brian prepared not only firewood for us, but also kindling. The site is not far from the road, but quiet, we got a good night sleep. Overall had a great time and would recommend!

Flower farm camp!

My partner and I camped just one night on our way north for a wedding. The place was clean, quiet, and overall beautiful. The site abuts a flower farm and a greenhouse with veggies. The pictures don't do it justice; such a stunning property!! We met Brian and his lovely golden Oscar in the morning. Both were extremely friendly and we felt so welcome and at home. Make sure you stop and grab some fresh produce and flowers at the farm stand on your way out! Thank you for the awesome stay! We will be back.

Comfy easy overnight

Easy in and out. Never met the owner. They had such a nice set up with picnic tables, wood, a fire pit. Didn’t use it because we came in later and left early. Definitely felt in the woodsy.

A Safe and Beautiful place to camp!

What a great place to camp! The location is easy to find, the space is beautiful. There's a farm stand right at the end of Sadie lane, so we had only a short walk to access excellent provisions. If you like to walk, there are acres of mowed paths through beautiful glades and groves. We stayed five days, so we had the opportunity to meet a number of the people who had garden plots. All of them were very friendly and kind. Brian is a great host. I felt safe, welcome, and cared for. I highly recommend this site. My only caveat to would be to say that traffic on the local highway is a constant, though quiet, background noise. We heard plenty of owls and other wildlife in our tent at night, but it was accompanied by the murmur of cars and trucks. For us, this was not a problem at all, but it's something that's worth knowing if this is important for your comfort while you camp.
