All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Experience the charm of our modest farm nestled on an 88-acre forest, complete with a babbling brook and lake access. Located just 45 minutes from Acadia National Park, and in close proximity to less-frequented public trail networks (such as the Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust, right next to our property), our site offers a serene retreat far away from everything and everyone! Indulge in activities like fishing (ensure you have the proper licenses, as Fish and Game Wardens monitor the area), kayaking/canoeing, and swimming from our private lake dock. Although our sites are off-grid without running water, we provide access to composting toilets and potable water. Embrace the quintessential Maine vibes at our campsite, situated along Gott Brook, offering convenient access to the lake via the main campsite road.Enjoy peace and serenity on our 88 acre forested property. A short 3-5 minute hike in from the main road, this campsite is situated on the side of a natural waterfall along Gott Brook. The site is situated underneath mature hemlock trees that are sure to keep you nice and cool on even the hottest summer days. The site includes a composting toilet and a solar shower for all your hygiene needs. A short walk down the main camp road will take you to the Branch Lake Trail, where you can swim and rent kayaks/canoes. Please keep the fire in the existing fire pit and use only the wood provided by us (imported wood can contain invasive pests). We are located 5 minutes away from Hothole Valley (Great Wilderness Area), 15 minutes from downtown Ellsworth, and 45 minutes away from Acadia National Park.

I loved this site. Our dog loved the environment! The tent was spacious and very clean. I can’t wait to come back in the future. Thank you Tabatha for sharing this beautiful place with people :)

I loved this camping spot! It was so unique and super cozy at night time. It stayed dry inside even in the rain!! I would definitely come here again and stay.

I absolutely loved this spot! This was my first hip camp surprisingly! The separate canvas sleeping tent was incredible and SUPER comfortable bed!!!! Can’t wait to come back and use woodstove!!! The cook screen tent and table, dishes , water jug and more were such a nice touch. !! There is also another guest tent on the property a short walk from canvas “glamping” tent! The creek flowing through topped EVERYTHING off. I did not walk down to path to Branch Lake because I’m healing from a broken foot but REALLY look forward to that when I come back!

Excellent

With pets

Solitude with a beautiful creak. Camp was comfortable and clean. Despite the first two days of rain we made it a great time. Getting from vehicle to camp with gear was really the only trouble but it was worth the extra effort. Great location that has the ability to be a destination camp if you want to stay in.

Peaceful Glamping, Private Stream

With kids

Super peaceful listening to the stream just next door to our secluded tent site. My first trial of glamping (vs prior mostly backpacking camping) and the mattress was quite comfy and all of the sleeping and dining tent set ups were quite pleasant. The lake felt a little further away than expected but was beautiful when I walked to it.
