Maine Camping Tips
- 1. Book early. Popular spots like Blackwoods fill up 4-6 months in advance for summer weekends.
- 2. Bug prep is essential. June and July bring serious black flies and mosquitoes. Pack DEET or permethrin-treated gear.
- 3. Check fire permits. Maine requires a fire permit for open burning. Many campgrounds provide fire rings.
- 4. Bear canisters in the backcountry. Black bears are active throughout Maine. Hang food or use a canister.
