A lot of folks in Maine look forward to going to camp each summer. And many times these camps are located on a lake. But imagine if *your* camp experience put you directly on the lake! That's what you'll get at Nomad, the floating camp on Rangeley Lake.

The space here is beautiful and airy, perfect for enjoying the sunny lake vibes in the summer. A stay here is a little like a tiny house, with the added benefit of having water just outside your door.

There are a few options for a stay aboard Nomad. You can choose to stay by the dock, enjoying access to the lakeside firepit, kayaks and nearby Oquossoc for fun meals and drinks. This is a great way to appreciate Nomad, while still being able to enjoy all the things offered in the area.

You can also choose to stay moored just off the land, offering more access to the water. This also comes with a canoe to get to shore for the same access as the dockside option. The third option is for stays of two nights or more and has you sleeping in a cove on the lake for more privacy.

Whichever you choose, you'll love waking up on Nomad. She sleeps 4 in 3 beds, including this beauty at the top! Imagine the sun hitting your face as you wake up and the stars wishing you a good night.

While it may seem small from the outside, the inside actually has ample space for 4 people to enjoy.

There's even a fully equipped galley kitchen with a gas stove, fridge, and service for four people.

The bathroom includes a shower, sink, and toilet, which makes this a whole lot less rustic than camping.

And there's tons to do on the water. Like waking up and doing some fishing right from the door!

Floating Camp Nomad currently has availability throughout the summer. The price per night is about $270 but decreases by 15% if you book a full week. You can learn more about it and book yourself some time through Airbnb.
