This place was so cute. We got a tent campsite not far from the beach and had a blast! The beach itself is clean and peaceful. The restrooms and showers are also clean and lit and stocked with toiletries. The front desk person was very friendly and explained all the house rules and maps perfectly. Theres a place to get fire not far from the camp and its on an honors system so you judt pick up the wood and leave money in a box. I really enjoyed my time!

A little hidden gem on the mid coast of Maine. If you’re looking for high end glamping, this isn’t for you. It’s a rustic and beautiful old school place. The campground is very small and quiet, set on a beautiful beach. The tent sites are very small, but have the best view in the campground. It’s a great place to kayak. We’ve seen the blood moon over the water two nights in a row, beautiful sun rises and sunsets, and even several rainbows. The bath house is a tad outdated but worked perfectly for my needs and I have no complaints. I was able to make a very last minute spontaneous solo reservation, due to a cancellation by someone else. Jennie answered my email inquiring about booking, and promptly answered a few questions I had. Immediately upon arriving, I was greeted by wonderful and kind repeat campers who ended up becoming friends. The folks camping here have been coming for many years and have made it a special yearly trip. It feels remote but also very safe. There is also lots to do in nearby areas as well. I can’t wait to return, but next time with my camper.

This campsite is small, inexpensive, and has wonderful views and location. We managed to get a reservation last minute and the front desk lady was super nice and helpful. This campsite has everything you need, clean toilets, running water for washing, and gorgeous views of nature and the beach. We camped right on the beach and had a wonderful time. They weren’t selling firewood so we did have to drive a little bit to find someone that was selling. Also, if you are staying here, you have to try McLoons Lobster shack, it’s right down the road and it’s fantastic!

What a great hidden gem! The owners are very nice and knowledgeable about where to get supplies.
Found this place by sheer luck, can't complain about anything here. The view from the tent site was amazing. Where else can you get beach front access at a reasonable price.
Recommend too all.
