Bean Hole Beans- by Stephanie & Justin
Thursday was a hot sunny summer day, which made weeding in the entrance garden difficult. Norma and I pulled all of the Soapwort because it had completely invaded the Route 1 garden. Afterwards Justin and I started a fire in an underground oven so Steven could make a batch of beanhole beans in preparation for the TV…
Read MoreStephanie & Justin are Here for the Summer
We take our tagline “Tidepools, Gardens, Goats and Honeybees” literally…we want them all to flourish here under our stewardship of these 40 oceanfront acres. Gardening has been a family passion for years and we’re proud to offer guests the opportunity to dig in the dirt and harvest fresh greens and tomatoes while they’re camping. A…

The bride was beautiful, the weather was perfect and the groom was a magical prince who made everything memorable with his charm. A wedding on a campground beach is a casual affair that lends its own flavor…irreplicable in a traditional setting.

An early Summer Day at Searsport Shores Ocean Campground. The fresh water stream runs through the middle of the 40 acres…flowing into Penobscot Bay and providing unlimited opportunities to play, splash and hunt for eels and newts. If life is about the moments you remember, what are your plans for this summer?

Read MoreWhen in Belfast
When you’re tired of lobster and you’re in Belfast …park your car in the middle of town and wander down to the Wharf. Buy a growler of Marshall’s Wharf IPA (or sample all of the other micro-brews to find your favorite); carry it up to Laan Xang (the best Laotian restaurant in Maine)…eat something spicy…
Read MoreBelfast Harbor
We’re enjoying a stretch of crystal blue skies…this is Belfast Harbor at 8 AM this morning. There’s a great walking/fishing bridge spanning the Passy river that everyone who visits should see…me, I bring a cup of coffee and a peanut butter, sesame bagel and just watch the boats float for a bit of time…maybe we’ll…

Another foggy day here on the coast. The workmen weren’t paying any attention to the drizzle and the wind though…the old bridge closest to Fort Knox will soon be just a memory
