Peary’s Community Garden is a private garden area on our land with several small garden plots. Amenities include webber charcoal grill, Solo fire pit, with limited firewood, picnic tables, outhouse, non potable water, wide gravel access road, field and forest walking trails. Pets on leash ok. Short walk to vegetable and flower farm stand at entrance to Sadie Lane. Single site is near end of 500’ Sadie Lane, a private gravel road. 1/4 mile from I-295 exit. Hipcamp proceeds go to support the community garden and pay for compost, fencing, fertilizer, seeds, water system and related garden needs. Site is suitable for parking a small camper or van. 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. I-295 exit, toward village of BOWDOINHAM, go 1/4 mile, Sadie Lane will be on your left by farm stand, Garden Side is nearly at end of Sadie Lane, on left. Site is by picnic tables, wood chip pad for tent or park camper on side of Sadie Lane. Solo fire ring for your use. You can use wood in blue bucket, under crooked post metal roof, near fire ring. Wood is $5 per blue bucket, honor system. Do not use wood by pizza oven. If Brian, your host, is off grid and not available, Lily, who coordinates the community garden, is available to help at 207-837-4569.

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.

Tent · With pets

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!

16 ft car

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

20 ft campervan

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.
