Maine State Parks provide an ideal setting for your group's next overnight excursion. Our group campsites are designed for use by organizations and larger family and multi-family camping trips. Hold your next overnight group event or family reunion at a Maine State Park Group Campsite. All group campsites can be reserved in advance for seven or more people, and we recommend reservations. While you are camping with us you may also want to consider a Reservable Group Picnic Area or Shelter. Click on the link to find out more.
