- Wheel chair accessible:No
Welcome to Camp Hope on beautiful Lake Winnecook (also known as Unity Pond) in Central Maine. Thank you for considering our cabin style camp for your vacation. It beckons to those with an appreciation for nature and a tranquil escape to the real world. At our private and secluded location you will have the opportunity to experience the great outdoors while having all the comforts of home. Even though Camp Hope is secluded it is only 2-1/2 miles to an authentic general store where they make the best pizza around and sell the cheapest gasoline .
Spend your leisure time at our retreat and enjoy the privacy and spectacular views. Lightning Bugs (Fireflies) light up the evening sky along with the stars. Many times wild turkeys and deer cross our open meadow. There is nothing like fishing on the lake or from the shoreline as you listen to the sounds of nature. There are majestic loons with their haunting calls to complete the Maine experience.
Nearby in the town of Unity, there is a recreational park named the Field of Dreams, along with a full service grocery store and several restaurants. There is a golf course on the lake shore nearby and weekly stock car racing at Unity Raceway. We are about 30 minutes from the coast – Belfast is our county seat and a wonderful city for walking down to the harbor and checking out the shops.
If your pace is a little bit slower, relax on our spacious screened-in porch facing a 2 acre field to let your mind and soul join harmoniously with nature. A nightly campfire and making s’mores should be part of your Camp Hope experience!

I LOVED my experience at Camp Hope! The cabin is exceptionally clean and it's actually quite spacious inside. All linens, as well as kitchen supplies/utensils, were provided and having a washing machine onsite was an added bonus. The property is surrounded by pine woods and is consequently very quiet (we didn't even realize we had neighbors for the first three days!). Although the lake (which can be clearly viewed from the cabin and which makes this a SPECTACULAR place for stargazing) is not ideal for swimming, it is wonderful for paddling/fishing and the wildlife love it! Deer, frogs, blue jays, a great blue heron, an owl, and even a porcupine were regular visitors. I was looking forward to falling asleep to the cries of loons but there were none to be seen or heard from on this trip....maybe next year! Using verizon wireless, I had ample signal for voice calls though data transmission was spotty--3G seems difficult to find outside of Maine's larger communities. As it turns out, however, lacking the internet for a few days can be good for the soul. You will love Camp Hope - I guarantee it!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This cabin was an excellent choice with respect to privacy and cleanliness. We enjoyed the seclusion and opportunity to be in nature...unfortunately the bugs enjoyed us as well!!! Camp Hope is a great place to relax and unwind. There were many supplies and activities there for us to use and enjoy.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thanks Arron for the nice review. I know I cannot do much about the bugs in Maine in the summer but I am glad you enjoyed the peace and serenity that comes with vacationing in Maine. Hope to see you back next year or the years to come. I am just glad it was a pleasant experience for you and your family....

What a beautiful and peaceful camp experience! Relaxing, quiet and pristine. My wife and I enjoyed the beauty of Unity Pond and caught some monster bass. Listened to the loons and night and plenty of great antiquing in nearby towns. What a perfect little spot to get away from it all.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway.
Owner response: We are so glad you enjoyed our little hideaway... We love it and it's nice to know others enjoy it as well.....Thanks and hope you keep coming back..........
