AUGUSTA — Campground reservations for the 2014 season will open for Sebago State Park on Feb. 3, and for all state parks Feb. 10.
Online-reservation “start-days” once again are being split, with reservations being taken for Sebago Lake campsites first to reduce wait times, according to the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Bureau of Maine State Parks and Lands.
There will be no fee increase for sites at the state park campgrounds for this camping season. Fees, however, do vary, with the highest fees for nonresidents who want sites with water and electrical hookups.
Campers can make reservations at Maine state park campgrounds in four ways:
* Online at www.CampWithMe.com (24-7).
* By calling in-state at 800-332-1501 or out-of-state at 207-624-9950 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on business days.
* By mailing reservations to: Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry, Bureau of Parks and Lands, ATTN.: Reservations, 22 SHS, Augusta, ME 04333. Mailed Sebago Lake reservation requests must not be postmarked before Feb. 3, 2014; and Feb 10 for all other parks.
* By dropping off completed reservation forms, which will be processed during business hours at the Augusta office.
Sebago Lake reservations will be accepted for four-night-minimum stays only. This is being done because Sebago tends to average longer stays than other campgrounds.
