Phippsburg, Maine, United States
Reservations
Basics
We welcome campers with tents, pop-up trailers (18', 21', 25') and small pick-up (slide-on) campers. RVs, teardrops, travel trailers, hybrid trailers, and dual-wheeled pick-up campers cannot be accommodated. There are no electrical hook-ups or pumping stations.
Each site is unique. Some are suitable only for tents, others are suitable for pop-ups or pick-up campers. Please be sure the site you choose matches the equipment you bring!
Each site can accommodate 2 adults or 2 adults and accompanying minor children. The person making the reservation must be 21 or older, and must stay at the site.
One vehicle per campsite. Limited overflow parking for a second vehicle is available off-island.
We regret that we cannot allow pets.
Hermit Island Campground is for registered campers only - visitors are not allowed within the campground.

We now take reservations for off-season stays. Off-season rates begin on May 24, 2024 and end on June 21. The fall off-season begins on Sept. 20 and ends Oct. 14. This is a change from several years ago, when campers could select a site on a first-come, first-served basis.
Cancellations and Changes
Reservations made in Jan. and Feb. may not be shortened. Cancellations will incur a fee of $125 (equal to the deposit).
No refunds will be given for Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend reservations. Reservations for these dates may not be transferred to other dates.
Refunds will be given for reservations that are canceled 7 days or more before the first night's stay. However, a fee equal to the amount of the last night of the reservation will be charged.
No refunds will be given for bad weather. This is camping.

A Hermit Island reservation may only be booked, changed, or cancelled through the reservation desk by the camper who made the reservation. Changing the name/family registered to a site is not permitted during the camping season. For a site to be booked by another customer, it must first be cancelled by the person who made the original reservation. No site may be transferred from one camper directly to another.
