About Fortland
THE PLACE:
Fortland is a unique island Campground built within the grounds of historic Fort Scammel on House Island in Casco Bay, just a 10-minute boat ride from downtown Portland, ME. It is 16 total acres, which include seven beautifully-furnished camping sites (3 yurts and 4 tent cabins), as well composting toilet outhouses, an outdoor cooking area with grills and burners, a 40’ diameter event tent, 40,000 sq feet of historic civil war era architecture, and epic panoramic views of Portland harbor and the calendar islands. Fortland is open for camping and event rentals (weddings, retreats, reunions) from Memorial Day through mid October.
