Large landowners close primitive campgrounds in northern Maine due to COVID-19

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • April 8, 2020

Members of  North Maine Woods Inc. have announced they’re honoring the spirit of Gov. Janet Mills’s recent executive order that closes lodging establishments and will shut down their own campsites until at least May 1. North Maine Woods campsites are primitive and often consist of a simple fire ring, picnic table and toilet, but members of NMW wanted to leave no doubt that they’re respecting the governor’s order.
