Don't be shy; they don't bite. Even if
you are not quite ready to make a reservation
or still have some questions,
a conversation with a campground
owner can be highly productive. In
fact, campground owners love to talk
about their campgrounds and the surrounding
area. It also gives you the
chance to request a brochure or get
a website address so you can learn
more. You'll likely be able to get a referral
to another campground if there
is no availability.
OTHER
REFERRALS:
Whether it
comes through conversation with a
friend, through candid but helpful
strangers on review websites like Yelp
or TripAdvisor, on a blog post or over
Facebook, you'll find us at Facebook.
com/CampingInMaine. The best advice
often comes from others who
have " been there and done that " and
are willing to share their experiences,
praise, cautionary tales and recommendations.

QUESTIONS & CONSIDERATIONS
FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT
CAMPSITE
Once you have honed in on your own
style of camping, there are a number
of other pertinent questions to be considered.
It is here where features like
our regional grids and descriptions will
offer the most help. Here are just a few
questions that we suggest that future
campers ask themselves as they make
their plans, as every campground operates
by different rules:
* Do I want to be on the coast, in the
woods or lakeside?
* What will I want to do/what activities
or attractions are nearby?
* How far ahead should I make a reservation?
*
Am I planning on bringing my pet(s)?
* What kind of utilities/hookup services
will I need?
* Am I expecting non-camping guests
to visit during my stay?

regional grids and member ads will
certainly help you decide where to
camp in Maine. However, there are
other trustworthy resources that you
should consider as you make camping
choices.

Maine Campground Owners Association

map-based or advanced keyword-driven
search.
THE VACATIONLAND RV & CAMPING
SHOW: We'd love to see you at
the annual Maine RV Show put on
by MECOA on April 2nd & 3rd, 2022
at the Norway Savings Bank Arena in
Auburn. But if you can't make that
one, do make time to get to an RV and
Camping show in your home state. It
will give you a real sense of the kinds
of people and communities that make
up camping. Shows also allow you to
meet campground owners, ask questions,
get brochures, get travel ideas
After all that, when you are making a
decision on where to camp, trust your
instincts! We think all of our members
are great, but there is one out there
that is perfect for you. So do your
homework and then just make a decision
and have a great camping trip
whether it's your first or your 100th.
