Fodor's Expert Review Under Canvas
702 Surry Rd., Surry, Maine, 04684, USA
Amid 100 acres on Union River Bay, this glamping property has luxury tents with king-size beds, bathrooms, organic toiletries, wood stoves, and other creature comforts. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and dinner featuring local eggs, seafood, meat, cheeses and vegetables, as well as fresh bread and pastries, locally roasted coffee, Maine beer, and craft cocktails. There is morning yoga, evening live music, and kids activities throughout the day. Comfortable outdoor seating surrounds huge fire pits where guests can make complementary s’mores. Ample staff is available to help transport things to your tent, arrange day trips in the area, and supply any gear you might have forgotten. Quiet time begins at 10 pm nightly.
