But if you do, you can go by canoe, kayak, bicycle or car to discover nearby bays, beaches, and islands. Learn more.

Get off the grid and immerse yourself in the unique beauty of Mid-Coast Maine at Knubble Bay Camp.
Knubble Bay Camp is an oceanfront post-and-beam cabin with sleeping areas for up to 15 people. The camp is rented to one party at a time. Sleeping arrangements include an accessible room with a double bed and upper bunk, an open area on the second floor with nine cots, and two futon couches in the common area.
Knubble Bay Camp is completely off the grid, with solar powered lights, propane refrigerator, propane oven/stove, and a composting toilet. The self-service kitchen is stocked with all the necessary utensils. There is no electricity.
Water jugs with spigots are provided to get fresh potable water from the outside well with hand pump. There is an outdoor shower stall, but the camp does not have running water, so please plan to bring a portable camp shower. A wood stove provides warmth and ambiance, and firewood is provided.
Knubble Bay Camp is a carry-in, carry-out facility. No supplies, such as toilet paper and dish soap, will be there when you arrive, and we ask that guests not leave anything behind.

A trail circumnavigates the island, revealing breathtaking views of the rocky coastline, as well as old stone foundations from long-ago residents. Beal Island is part of the Maine Island Trail, a 375-mile recreational water trail that extends the length of Maine’s coast.
If you plan to paddle while staying at Knubble Bay Camp, be aware of the currents north of the beach and south of Knubble Bay. View more information on local tides and currents.

Service Animals
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), businesses and organizations that serve the public must allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals into all areas of the facility where customers are normally allowed to go. This federal law applies to all businesses open to the public, including AMC managed lodging and visitor centers, where service animals are welcomed.
A service animal at AMC facilities must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
These rules do not apply to emotional support animals because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
