Bold Coast Camp Minutes from Acadia's Schoodic Peninsula

Fall asleep in the fresh Maine air, among sounds of the harbor. Wake to birdsong and dancing leaves. Be at the oceanside within minutes. Our 5m bell tent is appointed with cozy furnishings to wrap you in comfort after a day of exploration. Recline under the stars and view the magnificent milky way on clear nights.

Please note, there is no indoor shower or bathroom (both are available outside) and no pets are allowed. We are happy to host families and, with advance notice, can make the space welcoming for little ones. The space is not appropriate for infants.

The tent is located in a secluded corner of our family property, a good distance from the road. Access is down a lawn path from the driveway. It is surrounded by trees and thick brush, so access to the tent is limited to guests and mostly shielded from public view. It's a private area and we have arranged the entrance of the tent to face the trees.

We are a 5 minute drive to the entrance of the Schoodic Loop of Acadia NP. A free, seasonal bus (search Island Explorer bus for schedule) picks up nearby and carries you about town and into the national park (entrance is less than a mile away). We are a 45 minute drive to Mount Desert Island/Bar Harbor. There is also a seasonal ferry within walking distance (about 5 minute walk) that takes you across Frenchman's Bay to Bar Harbor in 45 minutes. (May need a reservation for the ferry) It's a beautiful boat ride on a sunny day and you can often see porpoise and a variety of sea birds. The ferry generally runs into September. In Bar Harbor, you can hop on a free bus that will take you to Acadia and around town.

This listing is for a camping experience. There is no running water (though water is available for washing) and no electricity. We have put our hearts into making a space that you will be comfortable in, while enjoying nature. That said, on occasion, an unwanted guest in the form of an insect may join you inside the tent. Please enjoy your meals inside the tent, if you like, but keep food in your car overnight to prevent enticing curious creatures. Finding common insects inside is not a reason for cancellation or refund.
