Boat-In Sites — Maplewood State Park

Accessible only by watercraft, these boat-in sites occupy shoreline locations within Maplewood State Park's backcountry. The $20 fee covers basic camping privileges with campfires permitted and pets welcome on leash. No RV access exists due to the water-only approach, making this strictly a tent camping destination.

Reservations help secure spots during peak seasons, though the boat-in requirement naturally limits crowds compared to drive-up areas. Campers can explore additional options at nearby Backpack Campsites — Maplewood State Park for a different backcountry experience accessible on foot.
