State park campground reservations open Feb. 10

    The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Bureau of Maine State Parks and Lands announced that campground reservations for the 2014 season will open for all state parks Feb. 10. Included are Peaks Kenny State Park in Dover-Foxcroft and Lily Bay State Park outside of Greenville.

    “Maine State Parks provide many year-round opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends,” said Gov. Paul R. LePage.
    Commissioner Walt Whitcomb highlighted the recent success and popularity of Maine State Park offerings and programs. “Despite a very wet spring last year, 2,512,627 people visited Maine State Parks in 2013, the fourth highest attendance since 1990,” said Whitcomb. “ Visitors to our state parks have fun and leave with memories that can last a lifetime.”
    There will be no fee increase for sites at the state park campgrounds for this camping season. Fees vary, with the highest fees for non-residents who want sites with water and electric hookups
