A Hidden Gem

The campground at the Desert of Maine has recently been renovated so the sites and amenities live up to its magical surroundings.  This quiet and luxurious campground is nestled in among tall Northern Pine trees, on the edge of the dunes. It is close to Freeport and Portland but it feels like it is a world away from everything.

A-Frame Cabins

We have six A-Frame cabins: three "Cozy" cabins and three "Escape" cabins. The cabins feature a wall of glass that make you feel like you are sleeping outside.

Choosing Your Site

Overview​

• All of our sites are great for tents, regardless of whether they are listed as "Tent-only"  or "Tent/RV" sites in the reservation software. The entire campground is very wooded and secluded so tent campers are first-class citizens here.

• Sites 21, 24, and 25 are "hike-in sites" and therefore are for tents only--that is why they are a different color than the other sites on the map. No need for a sherpa, however, the "hike" is less than 100' from where you can park.

• All sites have water and electricity hookups (15A and 30A) with the exception of site 25. Some sites have odd placements for the hookups so bring hoses and extension cords just in case. 

• A Note about Travel Trailers: our campground is surrounded by tall Northern Pines so backing up a travel trailer into many of our sites can be tricky. Our reservation software allows us to list the maximum length RV each site will accomodate but it doesn't distinguish between travel trailers and other types of RVs. A site that could easily handle a 24' Class C might only be able to handle a 16' travel trailer. Therefore, we only list a few sites in the software as being able to handle travel trailers to prevent the situation where someone shows up with a trailer that can't fit. If you have a travel trailer you should first check if your trailer will fit by looking in the table below. If you find a site that works for you can trick the software to let you make a reservation by your equipment type to "van" (18' or less).
