About this property

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. Follow @insta/boldcoastcamp

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.

Great place but make sure of the weather.

The property is as described private but definitely not secluded. A suggestion would be definitely make sure to check the weather. We areived and it rained most of the weeks leading up to our stay and everything was damp as you know things in a tent will be. No ones fault but we only stayed the first night due to that. The owner was awesome and although the bed was damp ot was super comfy!

Glamping at its Finest

Magical Yurt! Everything was so fresh and clean. All the joy of camping - bird song, sound of rain on the roof, cool breezes - but with the comfort of a bedroom - comfy mattress, warm blankets, dry clothes. Amenities were terrific, just as advertised, with the addition of a delightful wood burning stove. Plan to come again. Very romantic!! Margaret was very responsive to questions, a delightful host.

Beautiful, serene setting and a perfect experience!

This was a wonderful experience in every way! The owner clearly thought of everything a traveler might need, from the comfortable bed, small mobile charging station, lanterns, flashlights, drinking water, robes, a station for washing hands, a dedicated parking spot, a fire pit and the cleanest porta-potty I've ever seen. We spent two nights in the tent with our small children while we explored the beauty of Acadia National Park and the kids couldn't wait to get back and spend more time at the camp site each day! To add a little character to all of this perfection, a nearby rooster crowed each morning to ensure that our visit felt sufficiently authentic and rustic, and instead of housekeeping knocking at the door, we had daily visits from the friendliest cat in the Northeast, who just happened to share the same colors as our deceased and much loved family cat, Sammy. And finally, just when we were ready to concede that caffeine addictions cannot be indulged when camping, we realized that the next house over was...a coffee shop and bakery. This was an experience that our family will cherish for the rest of our lives and we couldn't recommend Bold Coast Camp more highly!
