Bold Coast Camp is a quiet site on the village hill. This glamping gem is in walking distance to restaurants, passenger ferry, art galleries, shops, library, bank, post, farmers market and everyday provisions. Bike rental a few meters away from Bold Coast Camp can extend your travel through the village of Winter Harbor along coastal routes through Grindstone Neck, through the national park, and over to Prospect Harbor.

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.

After a great day outdoors, return to the peaceful 5 meter bell tent, plenty of Berkey-filtered fresh water for drinking and clean, solar heated water for bathing. There is a Solo stove with plenty of kindling and a small bit of wood to start your evening (for long burns into the night please bring a roll of roadside camp wood). There is also a propane gas pit with comfortable chairs; a perfect setting for dark sky stargazing while wrapped in a cozy outside blanket. The tent sleeps two with a comfortable queen mattress made up with beautiful clean linens, outfitted for weather considerations and maximum comfort. A twin futon can be dressed as well for a third guest, or upon request. The portable toilet is close by, serviced weekly and for Bold Coast Camp guests only.

Amenities include:
Soft towels, complimentary bar soap from local Prospect Harbor Soap Company provided. Small library, cards, games. Small courtesy of tea, coffee bags and cocoa to start your morning. There is a Coleman stove, (small propane canister needed), tea kettle, cups, spoons, napkins. Available ice cooler. Picnic Basket/cooler bag with bread board, knife, plates, wine glasses, forks, napkins, tablecloth, and tea towels. Basket of first aid needs.

Within the tent, please find our camp catalog with local events, restaurants, rentals, boat trips, and more for your convenience. There are recycle and disposal barrels beside the garage with extra bags for your convenience when disposing of waste. The extra wrap will keep an invitation for critters low.

I would love to welcome you to spend a few evenings under the stars; waking to early birds songs, fog horns, and bells, seagulls and eagles circling and sea breezes filling your senses. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay at Bold Coast Camp.

    Let me start by saying Margaret was a kind, lovely lady who clearly put an enormous amount of care, time and effort into making a beautiful tent and camping area. The tent was lovely, spacious and clean, and contained many thoughtful amenities. There are wood burning and gas firepits, a sink area and a private shower area with plenty of water bags. The port o potty was very clean and smelled nice. The inside of the tent was lovely and we had robes, flashlights, games, lights, and the bed was very soft and comfortable. The issues we had were our expectations of it being near water and private, but it's basically a lovely campsite in someones back yard area and close to a busy road. We could mostly hear only traffic noise. The neighbors had a rooster that crowed very early in the am as well. It is only about 1/4 mile from one section of Acadia, but we didn't realize the main part of Acadia and Bar Harbor are 1 hours drive away. After spending the day in Acadia and having dinner in Bar Harbor, we didnt have the energy to drive back to the site for our 2nd night as it was very late so we found a cheap motel for the night close to Bar Harbor. If you don't mind being in someones back yard with no view or sound of the ocean, then it's a beautifully done campsite and I would highly recommend.

    A totally comfy yurt with all amenities, and a lovely host. Have already shared this with other friends and will return myself as soon as I can. A very special spot at the brink of Schoodic, the secret prime best of Acadia.

    Great location for walking to restaurants or quick access to Schoodic Peninsula and all its beauty! Check-in was easy, bed super comfortable. Gas fire pit and solo stove for wood camp fires. Back corner of backyard, but felt private. Lovely spot! The shower bags got hot in the sun, but there wasn’t a place high enough to hang them to actually take a shower. One small improvement would be to rig a pulley system to get the shower bag up near head level! Also, the solar patio lights were nice, but we couldn’t figure out how to turn them off!

    We absolutely loved staying in the tent! Every necessity was thought of, and the location was perfect for our weekend getaway hiking Acadia! Our host, Margaret, was super accommodating and it was very clear that she cared about how comfortable we were.

    Margaret’s glamping set up is a singular tent on her private property. She’s done a great job at making it very comfortable, private, full of solar powered light, and all the amenities you could need. I I also much preferred Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor.

    Exactly the glamping experience that we came for. It's a little ways away from the main Park, but we prefer going off the beaten path - it was definitely worth our while. The campsite has everything you could possibly need - all you need is your shampoo and coffee! All touches are so thoughtful and welcoming. Margaret's surrounding gardens are just gorgeous. You may be lucky to receive a visit from Charlie 1, the calico cat! Margaret is a beautiful soul and a perfect host. There if you need her or care for a chat, but otherwise leaves you to do your thing. Highly recommend this spot

    The yurt was clean and cozy with more than enough pillows, blankets, ect. to help us feel at home. The location is in the back/side yard of a personal residence but still very much surrounded by nature- a deer came to munch at night and early morning. There was a fan, charging block, lanterns, and more. The porta potty was clean enough you could go in without shoes if you really wanted and movement sensitive lights outside and inside for night time . Loved the camp kitchen and shower.The location was wonderful as Winter Harbor is much quieter than Bar Harbor and the Schoodic loop was wonderful for sunrise. Would recommend a slow morning or evening at the sight. Downeaster coffee shop was perfect for breakfast. Margaret was very kind and even put fresh flowers out as a special request. We would love to stay here again :)

    Margaret is a wonderful host and prepared the tent for anything one would need. The charging stations, robes, games, and kindling were especially helpful and unexpected. The bed as others have said was extremely comfortable and there were plenty of soft warm blankets for a nice sleep.We hope to be back one day!

    Beautiful, cozy, and comfy yurt. Everything we needed for camping. The location was quiet and out off the hustle and bustle of bar harbor. The host was very helpful, kind, and respected of our space.
