Discover the Wilder Side of Maine
You may not find a WiFi connection, but you will definitely find a connection with the outdoors! Many of Maine’s sporting camps, cabins and lodges are rustic with no modern conveniences. Often handed down from one generation to another, sporting camps are a real Maine experience. Staying at a sporting camp is a great way to get close to the trails, or just find some peace and quiet.
