Please visit a Maine sporting camp

I hope you will visit a Maine sporting camp this summer or fall. There is no better place to experience everything we love about Maine. Sporting camps offer everything from great food to lots of wildlife, woods, and waters, plus of course, great hunting and fishing. But you don’t have to be a hunter or angler to thoroughly enjoy a visit to a Maine sporting camp.

I wrote a book, Maine Sporting Camps, published by Down East Books, and if you are looking for a source of information in order to help you select a sporting camp, please purchase my book. It includes lots of information about each camp plus some great stories by the owners and visitors.

And if you are a member of the Natural Resources Council of Maine, you should check out the camps that partner with an NRCM and offer discounts to its members. It’s actually worth joining an NRCM to receive that discount, and I can tell you, some of my favorite are NRCM  partners.

You can access the NRCM sporting camp info here:
