The Forest is pleased to announce that the majority of Forest campgrounds will be open by May 22nd in NH, and in early June in ME. While the majority of campgrounds will open, large group sites and some dispersed camping areas such as Tripoli Road Dispersed Camping will remain closed as we continue to revisit our closure decisions and our ability to follow CDC guidance ensuring visitor and employee safety.
