Description
Bold Coast Camp Minutes from Acadia’s Schoodic PeninsulaA new tent this year and the friends that helped set this year’s up made the bell tent sit beautifully onits platform. I am right in town, walking distance to shops and restaurants, with Littlefield Gallery to theleft and The Bakery to the right of the property, and Acadia National Park, Schoodic Section, is your nextright hand turn.Lots of additions, privacy fenced area for shower and wash station, new towels, and Prospect Harborsoaps. I have a Legacy Tower with fresh water to fill solar bladders for warm showers and to top upBerkey water system cylinder for clean drinking water. There is a portable toilet, clean and maintainedweekly for guests only.The camp has a Solo Smokeless stove and a Bali propane fire with lounge chairs ready to recline andwatch the stars. I have lots of kindling and small wood to start a bed of coals, if you want a long eveningburn, wood is sold in front of Winter Harbor Provisions, also Backman Wood has hard and soft and its tothe right of my driveway, two buildings down, outside stand with a cash bucket.There is a small Coleman stove and a small kettle, coffee cups, with a few bags of tea and coffee to getyou started, or bring your favorites. Small propane canisters can be purchased locally. The Bakery is astone’s throw away, with fresh hot coffee and Patrick’s delicious pastries and breads and …….so muchmore.There is a cooler, picnic basket, wine/water glasses, bread board, knife, cork screw, plates, napkins, agood start to lunch on the rocks or tables next to the harbor, at Frazer Point.Inside the Bell tent, I have left a binder, lots of area information, maps of local treks, and “What’s” goingon around town, Emergency contacts, library, bank, food stores, restaurants, festivals, potters, artists,farmers market, organic farms, and so on. Some games, playing cards and a few books. The linens andblankets are lovely, cozy, and clean.I am popping up the ‘old’ tent leaving its side rolled up for an extra shaded space or out of the rainspace, with more comfy seating inside and out of it.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.Please let me welcome you, make you comfortable in a tent, while enjoying the simplicity of the earth,cool breeze, salty fog, stars above, bright morning sun, birds about and geese above.
