    First, the bathroom should be open and available. This saves us a portajohn rental.

    Second, campground fee is just $7/person/night. I'll ask about a discount for children.

    Try to appease the weather gods -things are looking promising for a relaxing hang among the pines.


    Sounds great

    What's the procedure when we arrive? Pay the camp ground or is someone collecting for the group? What sites are we gathering at? I may be there early on Friday as I live less than 20 miles away.

    Hoping to be up there Friday afternoon. I'll be collecting fees to pay the campground owners and possibly passing the hat for firewood unless someone local miraculously has leftover firewood after this winter,

    Last year the gate was open, and we gravitated to sites #1-11

    Lots of trees to spread out from there. Hope to see you there.

    I'll be there in spirit if not in body. Our season is over down here and already looking forward to some summer hangs in Maine. Not so much looking forward to hanging in Maine as I am looking forward to hanging with Mainers this summer. Ya'll have fun.
    Most of us end up poorer here but richer for being here. Olddog, Fulltime hammocker, 365 nights a year.

    ===> I am out, unfortunately, as well. I have some medical issues to take care of by Monday for the VA. We need to plan another hang there over the summer!

    If only there were some camping system that kept you off the wet ground, while protecting you from the rain above...

    Friday night weather is looking pleasant enough for April in Maine, but Sat/Sun have over 70% chance of rain with temps in the 40s/30s. I still plan on going and enjoying the rain falling on the tarps, but understand if anyone wants to back out. It will be brisk. Bring lotsa layers if you come.

    The spirit of the Maine Hang is taking the time to relax and unwind. You can do it in a hammock, a t*nt, or celebrate at home.

    Just relax and have fun this weekend.

    I plan on a noonish arrival and will bring some tarps. However, I do NOT have the 40 x 60 foot size.

    I've been wondering for awhile if there was a hammock hang group in Maine. My boyfriend and I moved to Portland in September and have just started to explore where we can go hang besides the hammock stand in the living room. We finally got off our butts and went to Acadia on Wednesday and got back today (Friday). Then today it hits me to actually search hammock forums for hangs, and here you all are. Meeting in Brunswick, which we just drove by, today. Well, sorry to be missing you this time, but look forward to hanging out later this summer.
