WHY STAY ANYWHERE ELSE?
Our Stargazer tent is luxury camping at its finest. It includes a queen bed, two twin mattresses and pillows on the floor for additional guests or lounging around, and everything you need to stay comfortable. The tall central pole creates a spacious feel, and the windows at the top allow you to see the stars at night. The perimeter of the tent has lots of zip up windows if you want to get some airflow through the tent, and there is a charming seating area around behind it.

This glamping tent does not have a bathroom but our renovated cedar bath house is just a short walk away (about 300’). This is the nicest campground bathroom you'll ever see, with tiled floors, live edge countertops, and new fixtures everywhere. It actually smells _good_ if you can believe that. And while the bath house is a shared space, don't worry about it being crowded--it gets minimal use because our campground is small and many of our guests will be staying in cabins with their own bathrooms. The bath house has 3 clean, individual showers with gloriously hot water.

This glamping tent is located in the recently renovated campground at the Desert of Maine, a nearly 100-year-old tourist attraction located in Freeport. The Desert is 25 acres of rolling sand dunes in the middle of a lush Maine forest, a natural phenomenon created during the last ice age. The tourist attraction includes self-guided tours about the history and geology of the Desert, exhibits for kids, a train ride, and a new mini golf course! The campground is quiet and serene, surrounded by tall northern pines and the “desert” dunes. There is a 24x7 Camp Store where you can buy bundled wood, snacks, drinks, ice cream, ice, and other essentials. We also have lawn games like corn hole, bocce, hook & ring, and more. Come unwind and make magical memories here!

You will have the entire glamping tent on a dedicated campsite, all to yourself. In addition, you will have access to our renovated, cedar bath house which is just steps away, with individual showers.
