Hermit Island Campground

[garym053]

Anyone heard anything NEW about Hermit Island CG this year? I've emailed them for information, tried calling them and all I get after 7 or 8 rings is a message memory full and then a tone and hang up.

Just wondering Whutsup???
Thanks

Just so I don't inadvertantly start any rumors- I did get through (Finally) today and booked a site for next weekend.

Where is this CG and what can you tell us about it??

It's near Small Point, Maine. Out on a penninsula South of Bath, ME. From US RTe 1 in Bath, take Rte 209 South and then Rte 216.

It's surronded by water on 3 1/2 sides! Pretty much a beach and the access road are the only connections to the mainland.

They have 275 sites ranging from ON the beach to in the woods and in between. Some sites are nicely secluded while others are not very private. No hookups, nothing bigger than tents, a pickup camper or a small to medium sized pop-up according to their web site, although last year I did see a hybrid there.

There are 7 beaches around the campground and one or two you will have all to yourself many times, even in the summer, as you have to hike to get to them. My wife came here with a childhood friends family for years as a kid. She convinced me to try it, and I love the place! There are no planned activities, no pool, etc, but we've spent 8 days there one year and was sorry to see the week end!

It isn't a place that everyone will like, I've seen as many complaints about it on other sites as I have seen compliments. It doesn't seem to hurt them though, I had to hit redial the other day for a solid 15 minutes in order to get through.
