Refer to our quiet hours policy--this place turns into a library after 10:00 pm. Also, so as not to trigger flashbacks to the worst-ever group to visit the Desert of Maine Campground in our entire history, no bachelor parties or other ruckus gatherings are allowed. This is a quiet, serene campground.

EXPLORERS: Do not use another site other than the one assigned to you without permission. Do not camp outside of designated campsites.

VISITORS: Visitors are allowed in the campground between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm.  All campers are responsible for their visitors. A maximum of 6 adults are allowed per site at any time.

PETS: We love dogs. We accept all scruffy-duffy boys and girls (i.e. well-behaved dogs) regardless of breed. Dogs must be registered ($10/night per dog). Service dogs are exempted from the nightly fee. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and must not be left unattended. Unfortunately, dogs who bark too much are probably stressed out by the camping experience so we will have to ask their owners to help them calm down or take them back home. Please clean up after your dog(s). Other types of pets are not allowed.

SMOKING or VAPING is not permitted on the premises. The Desert of Maine is a tobacco-free campus. 

ALCOHOL is permitted within your campsite for campers of legal age. Do not take alcohol outside your campsite. Please do not get out of control or you will be asked to leave.

Firewood is available for purchase 24x7 (self-service, honor system) at the Camp Store . To prevent the spread of harmful pests, firewood should not be brought from out of the area--in fact, it is illegal to bring firewood in from out of state.

FIREARMS AND FIREWORKS are prohibited on the premises. 

WASTE DISPOSAL: Please take your trash with you when you leave. You may use on-site trash cans or the trash and recycling dumpsters in the main parking lot.
