We have 100% positive reviews… here’s one from Anna: Mark is a wonderful host and delivers a unique camping experience tucked away in his secluded property and vast nursery. The Babbling Brook site is very private and fit two tents along with a very well-built fire pit. Easy access to an outdoor toilet and water provided. Very near Reid State Park.

Greetings camping and garden friends!
After much hard work we can now say our tent campground is opening. A rare plant nursery and scenic campground all in one …the only place like it. Tent camping with scenery all around you in mid coast Maine! Tall pines, fragrant firs and all the neat flora of Coastal Maine surround you at our lakefront property in Georgetown, Maine.
Note: lots of pics here, might take a minute to load!
These are not your typical campsites all jammed together.
Text 207 607 1284 for more info or to book or email easternplant@juno.com
If you’ve been here you know how scenic our property is …but few have seen the amazing back property featuring a meandering stream, beaver pond and dramatic cliffs with moss covered boulders. Our tent campground now showcases that beauty.
Come experience it …it is truly park-like.
Just five private campsites, each with great features, including a water spigot at each site, offer a true back woods experience! (Yet close to civilization)
Two sites have great fire pits …all sites are near or on our stream and have direct access to a logging road and hiking on the 140 acre nature reserve.
Pine needled trails and pine needles at the tent sites for comfortable sleeping!
Two sites are near our beaver pond with the sounds of frogs and sights of great birdlife including Bald Eagles, herons and more.
Two sites are accessed by small footbridges over the stream. There are moss covered boulders and dramatic cliffs near the Morning Mist, Babbling Brook and Cedar Meadows Sites.
We are centrally located near Bath Maine with many major Maine attractions within a days drive.
Above shows the meandering stream after some good rains, this is near the Morning Mist Site
The Red Door Site red door! Where did it come from? And where is the rest of it? That door has been there since we bought the property in 1988.
Other stuff:
There are enclosed high quality portable toilets with fans and lighting. Discretely placed solar and motion lights for ambient light to get you around in the dark.
For an additional fee we can provide a tour thru our abutting park-like nursery, there is no other nursery like it. See the largest collection of rhodos in northern New England.
Swimming: We are close to Reid State Park and it’s famous sandy beach. Plus, a few miles up the road is Sewell Pond, a noted swimming area. With so many campgrounds overcrowded, here is your chance to experience the Maine woods in a private way …like it used to be.
BBQ: Sites 3, Morning Mist and 4, Babbling Brook, have cool BBQ pits.
Scenery: Dramatic rock bluffs and moss covered ledges are near the campsites. Don’t forget the meandering stream.
FOOD: The general store is two miles away …a nice walk or bike ride. The historic town of Bath is less than fifteen minutes away.
Come camp …it’s a great back to nature place!
Here is a description of each tent site. Sorry no RV’s.

We will be setting up the portable flush toilets in a day or two. They will have enclosures with a fan and lighting and subtle, outside motion activated lighting leading the way to them. All sites will be less than 200 feet away from one.

This is first update since announcing camping at Eastern Plant. Work has begun and five outstanding sites have been selected. All sites may see deer, and other harmless wildlife. Did we mention Bald Eagles frequent the area. Two sites will overlook a large active beaver pond and be near a stream. Those two will also enjoy the playful sounds of frogs. One site will be in the midst of the forest, near a stream and high ridge with access over a foot bridge. Another will be near stream, second footbridge and small waterfall. The fifth site will have a gorgeous view to a salt marsh, and be near a stream, small waterfall and dramatic vertical cliff. Large glades of ferns are near most sites.
These are not your typical campsites!
All sites are spaced apart for privacy, with the last site being the most private.
Again, all sites will have their own cold water spigot. Unique among campsites!
We will be doing more cleanup and start of trails tomorrow. Our target opening is August first…which may be optimistic…but we will try.
Contact us at 207 607 1284…text is best but calls are ok.

We will have four campsites in the back of our Property..all private…all near a stream, or tidal bay. There’s a big dramatic cliff nearby…and almost a cave.
Enjoy Maine the way it was meant to be. Our location in Georgetown, Maine is unique.
A pristine coastal forest is here to greet you. Deer, bald eagles and amazing bird life frequent the area. There’s an active beaver pond also. Our picturesque lake is there for fishing or canoeing.
Running cold water is at each site. Pit toilets for your comfort! …hey it is back to nature.
Your camp area abuts a 120 acre nature preserve you can also hike on and another big nature preserve, the Josephine Newman abuts that one! Plenty to explore and not overcrowded.
On some nights you can hear the surf at the beach a few miles away.
You will have a true wilderness feel but are only fifteen minutes to historic Bath, Maine
To get to your campsite you drive thru our forest nursery filled with rhododendrons to a small parking area, then it’s an easy five minute walk to the campsites. This is strictly tent camping. The general store is only two miles away with supplies.
We plan on barbeque nights…more to come!
We’d love to have you! Much more to follow but for now please
CALL OR TEXT 207 607 1284 for more info and pricing.
We hope to up and running Aug 1
