Some state parks allow winter camping, with rangers' permission.
The cabin he booked for last weekend was at Recompense Shore Campsites. The campground, operated by the non-profit Wolfe's Neck Farm, draws thousands of visitors to about 100 campsites during its regular season, from May 15 to Oct. 15. Dan Billings, executive director of the Maine Campground Owners Association, said it is the only private campground he knows of in Maine that offers winter camping. A handful of campgrounds provide hook-ups for recreational vehicles in winter, and some offer cabins, but they usually have electricity and gas stoves. A few state parks offer winter camping, with permission from a park ranger, said Steve Curtis, regional manager of southern Maine's state parks.
