Maine State Parks
Designed to harmonize with mountain, lake, and seashore, Maine's state park
system is as varied as the state's landscape. Mountain trails,
lakeside picnic tables, ocean beaches. In Maine, there are
more than 30 state parks dedicated to the visitor's enjoyment;
you'll find the people who manage them friendly and helpful.

Camping
Twelve state parks and the Allagash Wilderness Waterway provide camping opportunities. Make your camping reservation plans today where a number of campsites at these parks (except for the Allagash Wilderness Waterway) are available. In addition to camping, state parks also offer a range of day use activities, from ocean swimming to wilderness hiking. Some parks have group use areas that require reservations.

A Maine State Park Pass is available. Fees for day use vary depending on the facilities provided. If you visit day use areas frequently, consider purchasing a season pass, which is available by mail from the Bureau of Parks and Lands office in Augusta and at most state parks during the regular season.
Park Rules
Rules at Maine's state parks are simple and intended to protect the site and enhance everyone's enjoyment. Pets are not allowed on beaches or in the Sebago Lake State Park campground. Although after Labor Day most facilities are closed for the season, many people continue to enjoy the areas on foot during the fall and winter and are encouraged to do so.
