We've been staying at Narrows Too for the last 11 yrs. FHU, easy access to Acadia and Bar harbor. Will be heading up there in 2 weeks... I hope they get the out of state quarantine issue resolved by then.
The below items is from Bayley's CG, which is participating in the lawsuit

COVID-19 UPDATE AS OF MAY 31ST, 2020
A NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER PERMITS HOSPITALITY BUSINESSES TO BEGIN TAKING RESERVATIONS JUNE 1 BOOKING WITH NON-RESIDENTS ASKED TO QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS ON THE HONOR SYSTEM.

This was the headline May 14, 2020 in the Portland Press Herald. Governor Mill’s Economic and Community Development Commissioner, Heather Johnson, in charge of implementing the Governor’s Order stated “Visitors from outside of Maine are still being asked to quarantine for 14 days after getting here, but she said the state had no enforcement protocol for the quarantine requirement.

Since the the so-called honor system was announced, Bayley’s Camping Resort challenged the constitutionality of the discriminatory limitation on our out of state friends. The court stated;

“Although the quarantine rule purports a certain neutrality insofar As it imposes a restriction on all who enter the state, including state residents, it effectively discriminates among members of the public in practical application because it grants or denies access to Maine’s goods and services based on citizenship status and access to reality, without regard to the presence or absence of circumstances that would justify imposition of circumstances that would justify imposition of such a burden on a person when considered as an individual.”

The court concluded “The Campgrounds Advance a civil rights action that has potential.” The United States Department of Justice filed a brief in support of the Campgrounds asserting the quarantine requirement discriminates against out of state travelers and violates the constitutional right to travel.

WE ARE OPEN TO ALL OF OUR OUT OF STATE CAMPERS AND WE ARE PRESSING FORWARD CHALLENGING THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND DISCRIMINATORY SELF-QUARANTINE “HONOR SYSTEM.”

Good for Bayley’s Camping Resort, family owned campground. I've been told they own a bunch of summer businesses in the Old Orchard Beach area.
