This property has housed many international music festivals and was a very active farm for quite some time. The property was written up with photo essay articles in the New York Times, People Magazine and others as well as featured on TV segments on all the major networks. It's seven buildings, one of which is a Performing Arts Program Surry Arts housed in an iconic Maine Barn features beautiful vistas out to the mountains of Acadia National Park. The Surry Arts season usually runs from some point in May to some point in October.

Especially kind host
My partner and I never actually made it to the site due to our being in a car accident on the way up. I contacted Alan just to let him know we weren't coming (not expecting a refund or anything, just a heads up) and he refunded me for almost half even though I hadn't cancelled the booking. He was so kind and checked in on us. He was wonderful through the whole booking process, being quick to respond and very welcoming.

Won't Be Staying Again
We arrived late, after a full day of hiking, and followed the directions on the site (which simply said to contact the host, Alan). We did so, giving our name and our arrival time, and asked if there were any details we should know prior to our arrival. We were then directed to meet Alan at the front of the property, where we gave our name and he showed us to a cabin in the back, instructed us to park our car, and wished us a good night. An hour or so later, after we had fallen asleep, we were woken up by a loud knock on the door, where Alan was standing with another group. He loudly berated us for being in the wrong spot, had us quickly pack up (2 minutes) and ushered the next group in. We apologized profusely (despite having done exactly what we were told to) and set up in the next spot (a tent site in the front). In the morning, Alan returned as we were packing up to continue to scold us and reiterate that WE should have known better, and that we had put HIM in an uncomfortable position. We tried to explain that we just followed his directions as a host, and he cut us off, wished us a curt goodbye, and stormed off. All of this is to say, be certain you doublecheck the details of your stay — apparently, nobody else will, and not only will you be woken up, you’ll be yelled at and berated as well.

Coastal Maine Property Camper Site
The property was quiet and peaceful. There were several mixed reviews but going to Maine this early in the season left me with limited options. I booked this site as a Travel Trailor/RV site which was conflicting online. Some parts of the listing says that there are electric and water hook ups, other sections say there are none. This caused quite a bit of confusion upon arrival but it was all worked out. There are bathrooms on site and an outside shower that was not offered to me. Overall it was a nice stay but seems like the listing needs to be more clear to avoid future conflicts/confusion.

This was our first time using hipcamp and overall it was a decent experience. As other reviews have mentioned the site is less private than expected. There are a handful of little cottages/cabins on the property that are fully visible from the site. The bathroom was shared but nice and clean. There was also an outdoor shower that was nice. It definitely felt just like setting up a camp on someone’s lawn. I feel like it was kind of overpriced for what it was, but it was a good location and available when we were booking. It is an interesting property with a unique host. We wouldn’t stay again, but overall it was quiet, clean, and had a bathroom.
