Spring, Summer or Fall, Maine Camping has it all. PHOTO COURTESY OF COLONIAL MAST Camping in Maine during the summer months is a popular pastime for thousands of guests annually. Many campgrounds open early and close late, extending well beyond the reaches of the summer months. Why not enjoy Maine in the spring and fall? Many campgrounds and businesses alike are open for the season and anxious to welcome our state's visitors. Numerous campgrounds offer reduced off-season rates! Popular tourist areas and attractions are less crowded. The spring months offer fresh vitality not only to nature, but to seasonal businesses and travelers alike. These beautiful weeks preceding the official start of summer offer campers an excellent opportunity to enjoy each day to its fullest. Many of our state's guests leave for another year at the close of Labor Day weekend, missing the glorious fall months. When the crowds diminish, those who remain are at liberty to enjoy the sights and magnificent fall foliage. Barring local frosts, northern and northwestern portions of Maine are at their best during the last week in September. Eastern and central Maine follow suit during the first week in October; while the southern and coastal regions reach full color about the middle of October. Maine is also home to over twenty Agricultural Fairs, the majority of which are held during the months of August and September, winding up with the famous Fryeburg Fair the first full week of October. 16 | MAINE CAMPGROUND OWNERS ASSOCIATION * CAMPMAINE.COMhttp://www.sea-vucampground.com http://www.CAMPMAINE.COM
