Reservations

All reservations will begin at the same time:

  • PHONES: Instate: 800-332-1501, Out-of-state: (207) 287-3824 February 1, 2006 from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
  • ONLINE: www.CampWithMe.com February 1, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. Requests arriving before 9:00 a.m. will not be processed. After 2/1/06, requests can be sent anytime. Online requests will not be processed Saturday, Sunday, or holidays.
  • MAIL: Dept. Of Conservation, ATTN.: Reservations, 22 SHS, Augusta, ME 04333
    (All mail must be postmarked not earlier than February 1, 2006 and will not be processed until 9:00 a.m.) Requests postmarked before February 1 will be returned unprocessed. Please use our printable form for mail-in reservation requests.
  • All reservation requests received prior to February 1, 2006, 9:00 a.m. will be returned unprocessed. Also, if your reservation request is missing any of the information that we require for processing, it will be returned unprocessed with a letter of explanation. We will not be able to call you as in past years for clarification. Your request must be complete and legible. Correct payment or working credit card numbers must be included. To ensure that we have all the information we require to process your reservation, please use our "Reservation Form". If you do not have a form, call our office for a copy or print a copy from our website. We can process reservations faster if all information is complete and accurate.
  • WALK-IN: Beginning February 1, 2006 at 9:00 a.m., reservation system walk-in customers will be required to use our computers to submit reservation requests. This is the same system that can be used from any personal computer with Web access. Bureau staff members will be available to assist those walk-ins who are unfamiliar with computers. If you have access to the web at home, work, or elsewhere, we suggest you use it to save time. Requests will be processed in date/time order as has been the past practice. If you are paying with cash, you must walk in. We cannot immediately confirm reservations from walk-in customers in February, but improvements to the system will speed up getting your confirmation or rejection. March 1 - September 8, 2006, walk in customers can use the Augusta office courtesy phone for immediate confirmation.

SEBAGO CAMPERS ONLY:
Four-night Minimum Policy for Sebago Reservations made in February: In recent years, campers at Sebago Lake State Park have complained that the two-day minimum allows many weekends to be reserved. This practice makes it impossible for many campers to make a longer reservation that includes a weekend. Recognizing that Sebago campers average longer stays than those at other state park campgrounds, during the month of February, we will only accept reservations for four or more nights at Sebago. Beginning March 1, we will accept two-night reservations. We hope this policy change will allow more campers who want four or more nights on the same campsite to make such a reservation. Others wishing to camp for shorter periods will be able to make reservations after February. If we receive any two-night reservations for Sebago Lake State Park postmarked before March 1, it will be returned by U.S. Mail to you.

Cancellation Policy for four-night Sebago Reservations made in February: The minimum length of stay is four nights for those campers making reservations in February. There will be no refund if any of these nights are canceled.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Check-in and check-out times: Check out is 11:00 a.m. Please be sure to note that campsite check-in will not be permitted before 1:00 p.m. Park staff needs at least two hours to clean recently-vacated sites appropriately.
Changing camper names on permits: If the person who made the reservation is unable to make the camping trip, and another member of the family or camping party is taking his/her place, please call the reservation office to change the name on the reservation permit. This will speed up check-in time at the park.
Duplicate reservation requests: Last year, many campers were so anxious to get the campsite they wanted, they sent in more than one reservation request. With several staff members processing reservations simultaneously, we are unable to catch duplicate requests and you may end up with several reservations. We want to remind you that there is a $15 processing fee for all reservations canceled.

All other reservation processing policies will be the same as last year. Please review the Bureau's reservation brochure, or this website, for procedures.

The reservation staff is dedicated to providing quality service. If you have any questions prior to February 1, 2006, please feel free to call (207) 287-2209. We wish you and your families an enjoyable holiday season and look forward to hearing from you in 2006.

We will accept 1-night reservations from Sunday-Thursday nights only. Not Friday, Saturday, or holiday nights. There are no refunds for 1-night reservations and the same rules apply as with 2-night reservations.

Cancellation of internet reservations can now be processed online.

Campers are only allowed to move/change a site one time when making a reservation. It is the policy of the bureau to let campers move when arriving at the park, if another site is open and is of the appropriate size for the period of time necessary to accomodate the request. There will be no refunding of reservation fees.

No Shows

Campsites will be held for the first night of the reservation period. If the camping party has not contacted the park by 6:00 PM on the second night, the site will be rented out and the reservation will be considered canceled. The are no refunds for NO SHOW reservations.
