Great for a last minute tent trip.

Awesome little area off the beaten path. We went in the offseason (early November) so everything was covered in wet leaves and smelled a little funky, but it would be so cool when everything is green and in its prime. The surrounding area is all fallen trees covered in moss and really makes the site feel remote. Being able to use the fallen timber for firewood is a plus! When walking to the site, watch out on the footbridge as it can be slippery when wet, and has a slight wobble. Hope to be back next year!

Perfect private campsite close to Acadia. We camped at Blackwoods the night before and we enjoyed this site much more. We loved the seclusion and well kept site

Cute spot for a tent

This cute little spot was quiet and tucked into the woods with a place for a fire. Unfortunately we were unable to use the site since I neglected to see it was tent only. Had we had a ground tent we would have loved to stay there.

Great funky place. We were there in the pouring rain so had to stay in our van. But it looks like it would be so cool on a beautiful sunny summer day/night!

Nice cozy spot in a great location for exploring MDI and Acadia. This place is close to everything but far enough out to be the perfect chill getaway in the evening. Definitely recommend.
