Private Campgrounds Are Open!
Maine opened up private campgrounds (not state campgrounds) to Maine residents May 22nd and will open up to out of staters June 1st. Not all campgrounds are opening up, so be sure to call ahead!
So get out there and pitch your tent in the remote northern Maine woods overlooking a pristine lake right next to the best ATV trails. Or in a beautiful forest next to a network of awesome hiking trails. Park your RV next to the ocean and fall asleep to the sound of breaking waves. No matter how you like to camp, Maine has your perfect place to camp!
