Raw and Rough

Private and Pretty

I enjoyed the privacy that this tent site had to offer. There was a very pretty stream and pond at the campsite and it was out of view from the other sites and the road (though you could hear traffic noise). The hostess was very responsive, helpful, and laid back. It was not as remote as I was expecting and there were no flat spots to pitch a tent. We got the "total package" and there were a few things that could have been included, like a can opener, knife, cutting board, bowls, a jug of drinking water, a few more cooking utensils, and soap to wash up the dishes, but we made do the best we could. It was quiet at night and all in all, we had a nice camping trip conveniently close to Acadia.

Stay literally anywhere else!!!!!

Thoroughly read reviews on Hipcamp and for Kisma Preserve on google before booking! I did but didn’t believe a host could be THAT bad.. trust me she is…. I was supposed to stay here Friday through Monday. I did not get to stay as heather would not accommodate an 8 pm check on Friday or 4 pm on Saturday of my stay but would take my money. I followed the listing and called nearly two weeks before my arrival to arrange checkin. She said 8 pm arrival was very late and staff would be asleep and I would disturb campers. Fine I thought, I could arrange a different stay for Friday night. Then apparently there was a tour on Saturday at 4 pm during my proposed check in time. Um hello hire staff for both services if you offer both? I believe the reviews mentioning that she is hostile and yells at guests and is a drunk because my experience over the app and through the phone was enough for me to feel unsafe staying here. She wrote paragraphs to me in an aggressive and quite frankly unhinged manner. I have stayed at well over a dozen hipcamps over 5 years and never ever experienced a host like this. I feel bad for the animals and her staff that have to deal with her wrath regularly.

Camping with Wolves

Not really "Camping With Wolves"

Pros hosts were duper nice and responsive felt very safe close to Acadia Roomy tent sites Cons This is NOT camping with wolves. It's camping near some wolves that you might be able to glimpse through a hedge if you time it right. Don't come for wolves the pictures are definitely misleading. Bathroom is REALLY far from the tent sites, so if it's raining you are going to get wet. The road is very close to where you're staying and pretty loud
