In early fall we rounded up some close friends and rented two Volkswagen Vanagons from Vintage Van Adventures in Brunswick, Maine to head Downeast to camp in the region for a few days. We took route one all the way to our campsite in Sedgwick. We used the app Hipcamp to book our site and it was in the middle of a blueberry field along a beautiful inlet. In the fall blueberry fields turn a deep crimson color and are usually filled with boulders as well making for a very unique and picturesque experience.

We set up camp and took in the stars as the light pollution Downeast is very minimal. The next morning we brought our friends to our favorite spot in Maine, Deer Isle (see our Deer Isle guide for details). We hiked and took them to Sand Beach to enjoy the view and relax afterward. 

That night we broke out the projector and watched a movie under the stars after dinner. The next day before packing up we explored the blueberry fields and the shoreline, spotting bald eagles soaring above us.
