· Calais, Washington, Maine · 15 acres

Hosted by Nicco T.

4 tent sites

Off-leash friendly

Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.

Technically 2 lots in total with a combined 15 acres of the land that is mostly wooded. There is about an acre of non-wooded land that includes a gravel driveway that is very wide in the middle, which is an RV and cargo trailer pad to accommodate campers' rigs. There are 2 entrances for Woodlot Farm off of Steam Mill Rd, which turns into a fantastic, popular jeep/ATV rd (also used for hiking and mountain biking) at the property. There is a small organic farm that operates on site. It is very peaceful and quiet onsite. There is a small chicken coop and fenced area next to the RV pad for our dozen plus chickens. There is a 1/2 acre vegetable/flower/herb garden at the far entrance. There is a porta-potty on site. The half acre pond is mostly spring fed, so it's great for taking a dip to cool off when it's hot. Star gazing is recommended on clear nights as the light pollution is very low. The lightning bugs, owl hoots and frog chirps are an audible treat for relaxation. A great spot for ATV enthusiasts to pitch a tent right at the trail that connects to nearby lakes and numerous other trails. Make a special adventure out of it, and have a grand Maine camping experience.Tent campers have access to the entire property to set up their tents, and camp wherever is most desired. Nicco will point out a couple great spots/recommendations for the tent camping as well. One of the spots has been prepared for this, and has it's own designated fire pit right down the path from the driveway. It is conveniently located close to the community area at the center of the driveway, the RV/trailer pad and present cargo trailer. There is a community fire pit at the driveway/garden that all campers can use as well. The porta potty is rustic but a definite upgrade compared to the primitive camper squats in the forest method. It is located Explore the coastline 1.5 miles down the road, or nearby lakes to swim or fish. Take a dip in the pond on site to cool off when hot. Walk the garden with a cup of coffee in the morning. Pick some flowers or greens for a salad. Visit the chickens and feed them a treat. The land owner/farmer is on and off the property depending on work, and resides in Eastport, 20 minutes away. Nicco will be onsite and can answer any questions, and guide guests in for parking upon arrival. He will be on-call during each guests stay in case he needs to be reached. There is a house directly across the road where a quiet and friendly family resides who can assist in case of an emergency as well.

Great over night stay!

Excellent site to overnight at. We were passing through and stayed here. The host was great, he offered an on site privy and place to put our trash. I would stay here again.
