The Point is located in Gouldsboro, in Downeast Maine on the Schoodic Peninsula near the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park on occupied Wabanaki land. The point is our home, offered to guests as a place for seekers of peace and solace to gain a better relationship and appreciation with nature in a world that has forgotten the importance and connection we all have with the planet that sustains us. A priority here for me is keeping this land pristine and respected. Our mission to save and protect our natural environment and keep it natural and wild can only be accomplished with the active mindfulness of you. We aim to prove that hipcamp can be a magical experience for private landowners and campers alike, to provide a means of temporal community and beneficial alternative to traditional campgrounds; one that does not degrade the environment and break the peace that small towns still contain. Please be mindful of the trash you generate and mindful of the noise you are making— we aim to provide seekers of peace a *quiet* time in nature. Together we are here to be an example to others of what mindful camping can look like in this changing world. Thanks for caring to come, see, explore, learn and being apart of the solution! <3 We hope to hear from you <3

Quiet Acadia Woods Near Ocean

Great spot!

Such a great location! Beautiful beautiful beach and area. Very quiet and dark at night which is always what we are looking for. Lily was very responsive. Looking forward to visiting again.

Off-grid Oceanfront A-frame Cabin

Magnificent!

No one would blame you for getting up with the sun and heading off to Mt. Desert Island for miles and miles of hiking and views, but you would be missing something special. Waking up with a cup of coffee by the water and preparing breakfast as the tide comes in felt just as significant. We couldn’t help but wake up slow throughout our stay, letting the rhythms of nature dictate our own. After all, the Schoodic area offers plenty of adventure for all speeds to occupy the afternoon. Whether you are staying in or just setting up base camp, you cannot go wrong with this place!

Off-grid Oceanfront A-frame Cabin

We loved this site. Lily was so helpful with our check-in and our entire stay, and even gave us a detailed guide on things to do in the area. Waking up to the sunrise on the beachfront each day was amazing, and being able to just relax on that same beach in the evening and unwind from the days activities was so nice. We will absolutely be back for our next Maine vacation!

Off-grid Oceanfront A-frame Cabin

Loved camping at Lily’s cabin! Cabin is so cute and roomier than it looks in the pictures. Beautiful view with beach front access! Beach is public so we did occasionally see people walk by but otherwise felt very private. Overall had a great experience. The only things you should know are as it says in the description it is a 300 ft walk from your car to the site over very uneven ground so was a little difficult getting our gear to cabin. Second the fire ring is on the beach not on your campsite. To get to the beach you have to go down a ledge over tree roots. Probably not a bid deal for most people ( I personally had no trouble). However my husband recently had back surgery and my dog has a knee issue so it made getting to the beach a little tricky for them. Just something to think about if you have any mobility issues. If you walk maybe 30 feet away from the cabin there are stone steps which both my husband and dog used without issue. Also when the tide is up it covers the fire ring but we used the woodstove and it kept us pretty toasty. Would definitely go back again!

Quiet Acadia Woods Near Ocean

No Crowds, Just Quiet Ocean Woods

Lily is an incredible host! The woods are perfect and beautiful. Quiet and serene, and right on the water. One gets a true sense of the solitude and still (especially if you're coming from the city) a sense of safety. Lily was responsive and even super helpful when we forgot a wine key. She had great tips for hiking, swimming and was fun to chat with. The site is tidy, thoughtful and fairly secluded.

Off-grid Oceanfront A-frame Cabin

A-Frame camping

My friend and I stayed in the A-Frame and had an excellent time! The property is beautiful, the A-Frame sits directly on the water and has a gorgeous view. We rented the kayaks directly from Lily and were able to take the kayaks out whenever we wanted. While we were here we visited Acadia national park and went for a 9 mile bike ride. Lily was an excellent host and even joined us for the Oyster tour nearby which was excellent, would highly recommend!
