ABOUT US

We're on a mission 

Hi, we are Leah and Doug. We own and operate the Desert of Maine Campground. It’s nice to meet you.

 

It's ironic that we own and operate the place "where wanderers unwind" when we're both wound a little too tight. We are prone to working and stressing too much; especially when the line between Home and Campground gets a little fuzzy. Everywhere we look, we see things that need fixing, improving, or doing. It is only when we physically leave Freeport and go somewhere else that we wake up to a life that is more than what occupies our minds 99% of the time. 

 

When we go away, we search for a place where it’s obvious the owners really care, where our eyes stop scanning for problems to solve. Places that feel peaceful, magical, and deeply intentional. We believe the world needs places like that more than ever. That belief is what gets us out of bed every day.

​

Why? It’s far too easy to get lost in stress, worry, and endless to-dos… to sleepwalk through life while it passes us by and the things that matter most fade into the background. Our singular focus at the Campground is to create a space so thoughtfully curated that you settle  into stillness, rediscover a sense of wonder, and wake up again to the quiet magic of being alive. We obsess over every tiny detail so you can truly unwind and reconnect —with your family, someone you love, the path you’re walking, or simply the person you see in the mirror. This entire project is an act of love for you, for us, and for everyone.

​

We hope when you stay with us, you will remember what is so easy to forget in this busy, modern world, and return to your life feeling whole again.

​

See you soon!
