AUGUSTA - The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry's Bureau of Parks and Lands announced that campground reservations for the 2019 season will open for Sebago State Park on February 1 and for all remaining state park campgrounds on February 5.
Maine State Parks attracted a record 2,997,931 million visitors in 2018. Maine State Parks and Historic Sites provide year-round opportunities for people to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. In addition to making camping reservations for the upcoming season, visitors are encouraged to check out Winter Family Fun Days and the Ski & Snowshoe Trailers available to the public as part of the Department's Take It Outside initiative. Maine State Parks and Historic Sites staff attributed a record-breaking increase in overall attendance to numerous factors occurring simultaneously.
2018 set a record because of the recent success and popularity of year-round Maine State Park offerings and programs, favorable weather conditions, and greater public awareness of recreational and educational opportunities our parks and historical sites offer visitors of all age groups. State Parks staff continue to improve recreational and educational offerings to better serve all age groups.
