Short Stay

Located in a recently renovated luxury campground with tall northern pines all around.

Unwind Nordic Spa is on-site at the campground, a short walk from your dome — discounted passes sold separately.

About the Home

Our small, luxury glamping campground sits tucked among tall northern pines at the edge of a sweep of rolling sand dunes — a quiet, serene sanctuary from the rush of modern life. Just minutes from Freeport, a short drive to the ocean or Portland and the harbors and lighthouses of the mid-coast, the Desert of Maine Campground feels like a world away from it all. Right onsite, the Unwind Nordic Spa deepens the escape: cycle between the sauna's dry heat, a warm hot tub, and a bracing cold plunge — a contrast ritual that leaves you loose, clear-headed, and thoroughly present. Every part of the experience is designed to help you unwind, slip into a sense of stillness and wonder, and wake up (again) to the magic of being human. Stay a while. Let the days go soft.

Unfortunately, dogs who bark too much are probably stressed out by the camping experience so we will have to ask their owners to help them calm down or take them back home. Guests must clean up after their dog(s). - Alcohol is permitted within assigned sites for guests of legal drinking age. Do not take alcohol outside the assigned site. Please do not get out of control or you will be asked to leave. - Campfires are only permitted in the provided fire rings. Do not leave fires unattended. Do not move the fire rings.
