Hermit Island Campground is a family-oriented seasonal campground located on a 255 acre peninsula in Small Point at the southern tip of Phippsburg. The campground is accessed by a right-of-way which goes across a sand causeway. Hermit Island is roughly 1.5 miles long and .5 miles wide at the widest point. Most of the campsites are on the southern end of the island. The northern end has several beaches, hiking trails, and a small marina and wharf.
Campsites & Cabins
Our 275 campsites are located near sandy beaches, on rocky cliffs, along the tidal harbor, and in the forested interior. Each campsite has a picnic table, a rock fire ring, and parking for one car. Campsites fall into 4 categories depending on how close to the ocean they are and whether they have a water view or direct beach access.
* Ocean Prime sites have an ocean view and/or beach access.
* Prime sites are close to the ocean or beach and may have a partial view.
* Choice sites are not as close to the ocean as Prime sites, but are closer than Value sites. Many Choice sites are on the harbor side of the campground and have water views and/or access to the harbor directly from the campsite.
* Value sites are located within the wooded interior of the island and are farthest from the harbor and ocean.
We also rent 3 small cabins - the Hermit Island Cottage, the Log Cabin, and the Sou'wester. Please write to us with a request if you are interested. You must be 21 or older to rent a campsite.
Camping Equipment
All of our sites accomodate tents. Some of our sites accomodate tent trailers from 18' to 25' long when open, and some accomodate pick-up trucks with slide-on campers. To see if a particular site takes your size tent trailer, check the list of campsites. We do not allow RVs or any other hard top trailers, including tear-drop trailers. If it doesn't fold down into a box, please don't bring it. If you're not sure if your equipment is allowed, please check here.
Campers
We allow 2 adults with accompanying children per campsite. Only 1 vehicle is allowed per campsite. We do not allow pets.

Sewall's Beach, Phippsburg, ME
Video from Sewall's Beach, which is on the back of Morse Mt. (really a big hill) in Phippsburg, ME. It is from East to West, and back. I was standing about ankle deep in the water, which was warmer than the wind... and speaking of wind, there is a lot of wind noise on the video... This was on Oct 5, 08.
