Chickadee Hollow: Rustic Eco Camping near Acadia National Park!
A quiet woodland retreat just 3 miles from Ellsworth and 21 miles from Acadia National Park.
Pitch your tent or hang a hammock in a peaceful corner of Chickadee Hollow... Surrounded by pines, birdsong, and fresh air, you’ll enjoy the feeling of being far from the crowds — while still being minutes from groceries, coffee, and lobster rolls!

Eco-Friendly Stay
Chickadee Hollow is part of the land I live on and love — it's where I grow my food and do my best to make a positive impact on our planet. To keep this land healthy for everyone (including the chickadees), I kindly ask guests to use only biodegradable soap on the property (and keep it free of other chemicals).
I provide a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s for bodies/dishes so you don’t need to bring your own. This way we keep the water, soil, plants and creatures happy and healthy for the next visitors and future inhabitants!

What to Expect
Rural setting with birdsong in the morning and stargazing at night
Rustic camping — no hookups or showers
You may share the space with couple other friendly campers, or have the place to yourself!
You might hear the neighbors but not see them
Honestly, not very buggy! A small fire keeps any bugs at bay
Woodland trails, including one to a small stream for collecting dish water (not for drinking)
Night sounds of birds, crickets, owls, porcupines, maybe coyotes if you're lucky!
An easy drive to Bar Harbor and the Maine coast
A short tour around my tiny cabin and homestead, if you like!

Nature lovers looking for a relaxed home base to explore the region
Individuals, couples, or small groups who want to camp together but have their own space
