The saga of a high-end campground proposal that stirred opposition and prompted zoning discussions on Deer Isle may have reached an end. In a letter to the town’s Select Board dated Feb. 12, developers behind the Fox Hollow campground project voluntarily revoked their own permits and gave up any future development rights on the 48-acre property overlooking Crockett Cove on the island’s southwestern stretch. First proposed in 2022, the project was met with organized resistance from residents and eventually a lawsuit. It also led the town to consider strengthening its zoning laws to prepare for future proposals as development pressure on the island grows.
