When you can't travel far, travel smart!

Offshore traveling at a temporary pause doesn't mean local travel can't be exciting. Sometimes the best travels are close to home. An overnight trip to Maine to check out a few new boats led us to this hidden gem of a campsite. 

Beach front accommodations
Hermit Island Campground is situated on a small island, accessible by car during low tide, and is located about 45 minutes from Freeport, Maine. Here we found our romantic private beach campsite.


Exploring the exposed beach during low tide, followed by cooking under the stars while enjoying a delicious bottle of Malbec was bliss. And the cherry on top? Falling asleep to the lapping waters of our own private cove aptly named Sunset Lagoon. I was in love.

Due to our perfect seasonal timing, this island, which is swamped during the summer, became our own private paradise for the night. Did I mention the off-season affordable price of $35? Pure heaven. If you are lucky enough to spend a night here, we highly recommend campsite 66N. You won't be disappointed.
