    Alton, Maine

    I ask that you bring your own firewood! Otherwise, you are free to leave a small donation if you use any of the wood I have on property! I may or may not be on the property during your stay. Featured in MotherEarthNews Magazine! HERE

    WINTER CAMPING: 4 WHEEL DRIVE REQUIRED!! I have bedding but I suggest you bring sleeping bags rated for sub-zero temps as the cabin is NOT insulated. You are welcome to bring a small buddy-heater with you, or, one can be available to rent. The clear panels do act as a greenhouse and the cabin can retain warmth during daylight hours. Read my reviews HERE

    SPRING CAMPING: We like to call this mud season. Along with that comes the emerging of blood-sucking vermin (aka mosquitos and black flies). This is Maine. Please bring repellent. There is a bug net in the cabin to put over the futon.

    SUMMER CAMPING: Please see Spring Camping and then remember that there may be a total of 10 days that the temperatures may be unbearable (but the garden loves it).

    I cannot control the weather. I just provide a super awesome place. I am always available to help make your stay top-notch! Without you, there is no me..

    Please: no check-in's after 8pm! Thank you for understanding!

    The Passadumkeag River down the street offers great fishing opportunities! A short drive to the Penobscot River as well..

    Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is a shirt drive with a few hiking trails.

    Baxter State Park & Acadia National Park are each an hour and a half away (just in opposite directions).

    Searsport, Maine

    Penobscot Bay is the deepest body of water in the Gulf of Maine…and I live at its shores with my husband Steven, father Zaven, a flock of sheep and goats, three hives of honey bees, extensive gardens and lots of space to make art and good food.

    Together we run a family campground that was established in 1965 and steward the land…we provide a place for people to come and relax, wander through the organic gardens, explore the beach and re-connect with themselves and others. We’re proud to be part of the working waterfront of Maine where recreation, fishing and shipping ply the same waters and provide a sense of purpose for all sorts of people.
