 UPDATE AS OF MAY 1, 2020

Dear Campers,

Due to the continuation of stay-at-home orders here in Maine for the month of May, we are in the unfortunate position of having to cancel reservations made for the Memorial Day weekend, May 22nd -24th. Full refunds will be processed and mailed out next week. Hermit Island will remain closed to public visitation while these stay-at-home orders are in effect. Current State of Maine plans envision a gradual opening of businesses in June for Maine residents and in July for out of state visitors.   As all out of state visitors are required to be under 2 week quarantine, it is unclear at this point when we may be able to open the campground for this season. Please check back with us on our website and Facebook pages at the end of May for further information about summer camping.  We hope everyone stays safe and healthy and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

Sincerely,

Christopher, Christina, Nick and Jeanne
