"Fascinating experience! This takes an hour or two to get a guided tour of the dunes and then walk through the nature trail. Whether your interest is historical, geological, or you just need something to do for a short time, it's a great place to check out!"

As a roadside attractions aficionado, I had been looking forward to a trip to the desert, and it exceeded my expectations.

"Neat Desert in Maine! Only 5 minutes or so from the interstate, it’s worth taking the time to check out!"

- TripAdvisor review, June 2019

Sweet little campground just a few minutes from downtown Freeport. Perfect for a quiet getaway with the family. Bathhouse was by far the nicest I've seen in any campground ever. The tour guide and staff were welcoming and accommodating. The gift shop has super cute kitschy/campy Maine stuff. Great place for those who appreciate history and nature. 10/10 stars ðŸŒŸ ~would visit again.

"I camped for a night...Very close to town and affordable. When we checked in everyone was really nice and even brought some extra kindling to our site! An excellent deal, especially since you can take the tour for free too. My daughter is 5 and doesn't sit through much but she made it through the tour and was interested and asked questions. The tour guide was wonderful... There was even an area for kids to dig up gems while we waited for the tour that my daughter really enjoyed.... Thanks for the great time!"

"Lovely campsites nestled in the quiet, private woods! New bathhouse with best showers we've ever had. Complimentary tour of the Desert of Maine was informative and enjoyable with Thomas as our guide! We will definitely be back when we visit the area and the future!"
