Please coordinate with Host for best parking area if you are planning on an extended stay so we can make sure your rig will not be in the way of daily operations.

Please use judgement based on ground conditions and size of rig before driving on grass. If you are worried about driving on the grass, please feel free to message us so we can give you specific instructions based on the conditions and your rig. In most cases we have parking available around the arch hangar and to the south end of the runway. We can coordinate other spots around the property on a case-by-case basis. Please use our website (https://maineflying.org/stay-with-us) for a pictorial view of designated camping areas.

Do not drive on the runway. If walking near runway or on it to access trails please be cognizant of aircraft traffic. Leash pets if aircraft are present. Please be careful of children near aircraft as well.
