The Taylor Camp is available to families who want a quiet and relaxing vacation on one of the most beautiful and private lakes in all New England. Five miles long, Tunk Lake has only 12 cabins on the southern 2/3 of the lake. The Taylor Camp is perfect for your family vacation. The camp is a log cabin with all the conveniences of home: TV/Internet, washer/dryer, screened in porch...and much more. It just doesn't get any better than this! DownEast Magazine (June 2019) named Tunk Lake one of 32 of the most beloved "Great Ponds" in Maine each with its own character and charm.

BOOKING: The Taylor Camp is available from Mid-June through October. We often are booked far in advance and cancellations are rare. PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU WANT TO GET ON THE WAINTING LIST FOR 2024/2025.

LOCAL: Ellsworth is about 30 minutes from the Taylor Camp. It includes 2 grocery store chains (Hanaford & Shaws), WalMart, Fast Food (McDonalds, Wendys, Friendly's, Taco Bell, etc), Home Depot, a Hospital, Walk-in Medical Clinic, and much more.

LOCATION: In the heart of DownEast Maine: It is less than an hour from Bangor, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. And 30 minutes from Ellsworth where you will do most of your shopping. There is swimming, hiking, Mt. climbing, boating, fishing on Tunk Lake, and since the lake has so few cabins, boat traffic is very light.

TUNK LAKE: No Jet Skis are allowed (by law). Fishing requires a license and is prohibited by law Oct-Dec.

BAR HARBOR: A beautiful old New England town and a must-see. ACADIA NATIONAL PARK is the northeast’s only National Park. Don't miss Schoodic Point which is part of Acadia National Park and is just up the coast in the Winter Harbor area.

RESTARAUNTS: There are many restaurants between Tunk Lake and Ellsworth, in the Winter Harbor area, and in Bar Harbor. There is something for everyone from all the major fast food chains (in Ellsworth) to very fine dining.
