Maine campgrounds report slow start to the summer with rainy weather

MAINE PUBLIC • June 3, 2023

Across the state there has been a slow start to the camping season as the rainy weather keeps people inside. At Sagadahoc Bay Campground on Georgetown Island, owner Pat Kosalka said she has seen a spike in canceled reservations and campers leaving early. Brian Fay, a manager at Lily Bay State Park in Greenville, said the park has had quite a few empty campsites this summer. Another effect of the rain has been more mosquitoes this year.
