You're correct for the time being. It seems paddling and hiking accessible sites will be open in Phase 2:

"On June 1, 2020, Governor Baker issued COVID-19 Order No. 35, clarifying the progression of the
Commonwealth’s phased workplace re-opening plan and authorizing certain re-opening preparations at
Phase II workplaces. Consistent with this Order, as part of Phase II of the Commonwealth’s reopening,
campground services will be permitted to expand camping opportunities by opening sites for reduced
capacity camping for tents, non-self-contained campers, and campsites accessed by trail or water (these
may include privies, primitive cabins, lean-tos or tent platforms), all subject to the limitations set forth
below. Shared indoor amenities other than restrooms will remain closed. "

Last weekend wasn't phase 2.

Looks like we've got ourselves another "hang"!

I'd also just recently found out about the annual Lobster and Lighthouse hang, so if its still happening, I should be at that one as well.

**** It. I was hoping this one would actually happen. Anybody want to go kayak camping? They can't really close those sites.

I don't know if anyone would want to go that far, but the campsites at Flagstaff lake [Eustis, ME] that we used for the mystery paddle and hang are managed by a local community development group. They are not state campgrounds "per se".
You can check out the threads from the previous hangs there for the details. It's about four hours north of Boston. Plenty of services available on the way to stock up with needs.

I can set anybody up with my contact person up there, there are at least two kayaks, possibly three, and the canoe available at my friends cottage 5 miles away.

Looks beautiful!

I'll have to keep this area in mind

That interests me. I was up around Greenville on the 6th bringing my father and mother to some of the places we used to camp/fish. I really want to go back to that area and hammock camp.

I just read an email saying that Harrold Parker is re-opening on July 1. Here's a link to the closed areas and the rules. Basically, if you want to camp, get to reserveamerica.com at 9:00 AM on Monday 6/22.

Man, this is annoying. I'd already committed to Meadowbrook when the news that Mass state parks camping was cancelled for the year. I think I'm just going to keep my reservation at MB for the weekend of 7/17.

Is Harrold Parker even opened to out of state residents?
