Under Canvas Acadia

Under Canvas Acadia sits on 100 acres of waterfront land outside Acadia National Park, with 1,200 feet of shoreline right at camp. The property is in Surry, Maine, reached via a dirt fire road off ME-172, and is open seasonally from early May through late October.

Each tent is set up safari-style with a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom with hot shower, wood-burning stove, and private deck. Bedside USB battery packs keep devices charged, and the bath products are organic. The lobby tent is furnished with West Elm pieces, and the camp runs its own on-site dining program built around seasonal, locally sourced food.

Evenings center on a shared fire pit with nightly fires and s'mores, plus a rotating slate of camp programming that includes live music, morning yoga, and kids' activities. An Adventure Concierge is on hand to arrange add-ons like kayaking, mountain biking, or guided hikes into Acadia, including trips up Cadillac Mountain or out to Jordan Pond. Dogs are welcome throughout camp for a small nightly fee, and Acadia National Park itself allows dogs on most trails.

The tents fall into the upscale price tier, aimed at couples and families looking for a waterfront base near the park without full backcountry camping. Bookings run through the Synxis reservation system, and the camp has offered a third-night-free promotion for advance 2027 bookings made with a specific code.
