23 acres of rolling blueberry barrens interspersed with Maine granite boulders and ledges leading down to over ~1/3 mile of private tidal beach frontage on the Salt Pond(Atlantic Ocean)! Share the view with deer, bald eagles, wild turkeys and tons of local flora and fauna as you walk the ~1 mile road which rings the property. There are three site options, each with their own appeal. TWO are easily accessible from the main road, but removed enough for peace, and have direct water access! SITE 1 is more removed, and is not visible from the main road. It has a more expansive blueberry field view. This site has tenting options in the gravel road by the picnic table/fire barrel, or in the blueberry field itself(walking access only). Walk a 1/4 mile path through the blueberry fields to get down to your own tidal cove- take a dip in the cold Atlantic if you’re brave at high tide, skim the serene Salt Pond waters in your kayak, or go clamming or fishing if you want to work for your dinner! SITE 2 is grassy and closer to the water. The parking area and picnic table is visible from the main road, but you can pitch a tent on the lower portion beside the water which is not visible from the road.\*\*\*UPDATE this road is washed out at the top- SUV/truck/AWD vehicles recommended\*\*\*SITE 3 is HIKE IN ONLY - a private grassy of land jutting into the salt pond - this site is a 1/3 mile gentle downhill hike to the campsite (wheelbarrow provided to move your gear)!
ALL sites come with a picnic table, composting toilets in a toilet tent included in the price,
AND sun showers (available for rental).
5 min drive from Blue Hill town center, Blue Hill Mountain(more hiking!) and its Bay(more swimming!)- 45 min drive to either Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park, Holbrook Island Sanctuary, the historic Castine waterfront, or the quaint fishing villages of Deer Isle and Stonington. Explore Downeast Maine away from the crowds, at the most beautiful blueberry base you'll see!
I drive past the Salt Pond on my way to and from work almost every single day and consider myself very lucky to do so. The sunrises over the Pond and blueberry fields, on the right days, is breathtakingly beautiful! I often stop to take photographs and start my day off calm and relaxed :)
