Get A Little Closer to Nowhere

Premier Floating Camp on Pemaquid Pond

A one-of-a-kind eco-travel experience, Floating Camp is a simple - but comfortably equipped - houseboat that happily lives on Pemaquid Pond in Bremen, Maine. While aboard, you will seamlessly integrate into your surroundings while enjoying visiting loons, sweeping sunsets, and clear northern air.

Come experience the most unique camp in Maine!

The Space

This floating space offers you the simple feel of a tiny house, the aquatic intimacy of a houseboat, the close natural connection of camping – all in one immersive lake vacation experience.

Nomad can comfortably sleep up to four adults, with one sleeping loft (double bed) and two single sleeping options, one in the forward and one in the aft cabin. There is ample outdoor space with a forward and aft deck, along with an upper deck accessible by ladder.

Upon your arrival, your host will greet you and help you unload your luggage. Nomad will be waiting for you dockside a short distance away. After you settle in, we'll make sure you have all the information you need for a comfortable visit - including a safety brief and onboard orientation.

Your host will then shove off from the dock for a quick ride out to your moored location a few hundred feet offshore. Here, you’ll enjoy the simple joy of waterborne living - take advantage of the swim ladder and plunge in the refreshing lake water, or enjoy the outdoor sun decks, Adirondack chairs, and onboard firepit.

You’ll remain in this lovely floating oasis until the morning of your departure, at which time your host will meet you aboard at the pre-arranged time for a quick motor back to the dock.

Nomad will remain on the mooring unless your host is at the helm, but if you'd like to explore more of the lake while aboard, privately chartered cruises may be arranged separately.

While you're onboard, consider enjoying the following activities:

• Devour that pile of books that have accumulated next to your bed
• See who can name the most constellations your first night
• Take a morning dip in the lake
• Step on to the upper deck and flow through a few sun salutations
• Master your pour-over coffee technique

Enjoy being unplugged and untethered from your stress ashore!

Guest access

As a guest aboard Nomad, the entire Floating Camp is yours to enjoy - upper rooftop deck with comfortable outdoor seating and a propane fire pit; forward and aft deck for additional outdoor lounging areas; propane cooking grill; one petite (though luxurious!) bathroom with toilet and stall shower; well-equipped kitchen with a refrigerator and small freezer, gas stove-top & oven, and service for four; double bed sleeping loft with pop-up hatches for cloud surfing and stargazing; single sleeping options for two additional guests in forward and aft cabin; swim ladder for access on and off the aft deck.

While Nomad loves a good tour, he will happily remain moored while you visit except when your host is transporting you to or from any off-shore locations.

“There are some things you encounter in life that are hard to express in words. Our experience on the Nomad went beyond - all the typical details were surpassed, we reached the threshold of ultimate relaxation and tranquility. Having grown up in Maine and spending many summers in various camps on lakes - being in camp ON the lake was pure magic. A stay on the Nomad will be a summer staple for years to come!” - Charles, Portland, ME
