Camp Ferncrest - Acadia

We LOVED Ferncrest! This was our first time in Acadia and we loved the location. Just outside bar harbor but close to stonington and blue hill. Quiet, cozy and gorgeous. Definitely worth it just for the sauna after a long day of hiking. Cabin and bathroom were so clean and stocked with wonderful products .

Will definitely be back!

Ferncrest Acadia is a gem! This place is perfect for those who don't identify as "campers" but still want an experience closer to nature than a hotel could offer (or anyone who wants a more upscale "glamping" experience in a beautiful place). The domes are cozy and luxurious. The bathhouse/showers are beautiful and spotless - no icky campground bathrooms here. My interactions with staff, both remotely and on-site, were pleasant and helpful.

Ferncrest is conveniently located just before the Deer Isle bridge and about an hour from Acadia (without the Bar Harbor chaos). I loved hanging out in the sauna after a long day of exploring. All of the other campers were friendly and pleasant. Nighttime is peaceful with minimal road noise. The stargazing is incredible as there is barely any light pollution.

Though it only opened a few months ago, you can feel the love put into the space. Caleb is an incredible host, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for Ferncrest :)

P.S. If you want a more traditional but equally amazing camping experience, check out their sister site, Four Acre Woods!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway at Ferncrest Acadia. The location is perfect - all of the coastal Maine beauty without the crowds and traffic. The dome was stocked with everything we needed, from water and coffee, to firewood and marshmallow roasting sticks. Caleb and his team have done an incredible job of making the space welcoming and relaxing. The sauna and cold plunge were a major highlight. I wish we could have stayed longer! It was just so relaxing and there are so many great trails nearby.

We could not be happier with our stay at Ferncrest Acadia! The location is ideal for a family getaway (we brought our 2 daughters, 9 and 10, along with our 2 dogs) to enjoy the serenity of nature.

We intended on spending our 4 day weekend at Acadia National Park but only made it there once because there was so much to do in the area and we really didn't want to leave.

We highly recommend Ferncrest Acadia and promise that you will love it. Also, cheers to Caleb for being a tremendous host and doing such a good job with the property.

Considering Ferncrest Acadia is brand new, we were absolutely amazed at how well put together everything was. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that an incredible amount of thought and care went into every detail of the property. The domes are stylish, cozy, and perfectly nestled into nature; but what really blew us away were the bathrooms. They were beyond amazing, modern, pristine, and surprisingly luxurious for a glamping experience.

One thing I was a little worried about before arriving was the idea of having to park in a common lot and haul all my gear down to the dome. But to my very pleasant surprise, I had my own parking space right next to the dome. It may seem like a small detail, but it made my day and honestly I expected that kind of convenience. Being able to get what I needed out of my truck when I needed it made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

I’m really excited to see what’s coming next as Ferncrest Acadia grows, and I have a feeling this is just the beginning of something really special. I've been telling all my friends, family, and anyone that will listen about it. If you’re looking for a peaceful, glamping escape in Maine, this is a great option.
