About Huttopia Southern Maine

There’s nothing quite like the southern coastal area of Maine. There are beaches and inlets to explore, thick pine forestsone-of-a-kind treasures and crafts, and much more – and located in the heart of it all is Huttopia Southern Maine, where a deep freshwater pond and mature forest set the stage. We have a central lodge that is the hub of many activities at Huttopia Southern Maine, with walls that open wide to the outdoors. There, we sell pizza's or crepes made fresh to order, refreshing drink and more.

Huttopia invites its clients to disconnect from everyday life, to get closer to nature, to reconnect with their loved ones and to discover new horizons and new cultures

Huttopia has been developing a ready to camp concept for the last 25 years, combining nature, comfort and aesthetics on unspoilt natural sites by adapting to the culture and spirit of the local area. With its Forest Villages, Nature Campsites and City Kamps in France, Europe, Canada, the USA, China and elsewhere, Huttopia is one of the main players in ecotourism.

Huttopia projects itself as a global brand in the field of ecotourism, representing a lifestyle and values that are ​​respectful of nature and curious about other people’s cultures.

"Our profession is both a simple and exciting one: Finding beautiful natural environments, establishing sites that do not harm the surroundings and that enhance the nature and local culture, and setting up light-weight and easily dismountable infrastructure which nestle in harmoniously with the landscape. Then welcoming families, often city dwellers, who are looking to stay in simple and direct contact with nature, to relax and discover the region together in an environmentally-friendly manner."

Philippe Bossanne, Founder of Huttopia
