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

Starry-nite Farmhaus Woods on Ocean

Awesome Campsite!

Lilly is an incredible host with tons of local knowledge. The site is an awesome location on the bay right on Taft Point. We loved it so much, we stayed an extra day!

The Stargazer Beach Cabin

No-frills, beautiful location

We had a great experience overall. Lily is very friendly and responsive. The site is as advertised - Great stargazing, short walk to an amazing beach on Frenchman’s Bay, and no-frills. We recommend making the 15-min drive to Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Point, and watching the sunset from the site’s beach. Other positive notes: clean porta potty, convenient trash disposal, and firewood for sale. Some things to consider before booking: The wagon is near four other camping sites, and the path to the beach runs within view of the wagon. Other campers were respectful, but privacy is not complete. The wagon itself was messy - random unclean bedding and discarded items underneath the bed and in the dresser, lots of dog hair on the mattress. We were careful about keeping food in sealed containers, and we still saw mice in the wagon. It was also clear that the host had not visited the wagon between guests, as there was a personal note to the host still there on our arrival. We had a great time. If the no-frills nature of this site is not a dealbreaker for you, you will certainly enjoy this site for the beauty of its location.

Off-grid Oceanfront A-frame Cabin

Idyllic Getaway

The A-frame is a stunning spot with lots of character. We had long fires on the beach, swam, and took walks on the neighboring nature preserve! Instructions were clear and Lily was very responsive. Would absolutely recommend!

Off-grid Oceanfront A-frame Cabin

Our stay at the Aframe was just what we were looking for. Such a peaceful and beautiful spot ! Lily was great with communicating about things that we might need. So cool to hear the sounds of the seal, owls, loon and pretty sure we heard the blow of a whale....Nice to have the shelter and comfort of the Aframe to watch a thunderstorm roll across the bay at night.
