Welcome to your island.
Cedar Island is designed to be a space for everyone to comfortably enjoy the beauty and cozy luxury that camping in Maine has to offer.
Cedar Island is a two-acre island located on Stevens Pond in Liberty, Maine; a 30 minute drive from both Belfast and Augusta. You’ll need to provide your own boat to access the island, but the 20 minute paddle is the perfect way to decompress before setting foot on your home for the next few days. Upon arrival, you’ll tie your boat up and step onto your home… the only sounds being the loons and lapping of water against the shore.
Cedar Island combines modern amenities with the best of a classic camping trip. We provide the comfort of a queen size bed and camp kitchen, meanwhile you’ll be cooking your own meals and indulging in the primitive nature of a traditional outdoor experience. Cedar Island is designed to allow for creature comforts, but also time outside to connect with the beauty of nature.
