Our 2022 Season Message
For the past two seasons, we have adapted to the latest CDC guidelines to create the healthiest environment possible here at Sandy Pines Campground.
Today, we are excited for a more relaxed atmosphere throughout the state of Maine while remembering the many lessons and better practices we learned during the pandemic:
Hand sanitizer and enhanced cleaning protocols are here to stay
We were proud of our high cleanliness standards before the pandemic but COVID-19 made us even better. Our guests were so pleased with the addition of our night cleaning shift and enhanced protocols that we will be maintaining them every season going forward.
Why some of our employees are still wearing masks
We have encouraged all employees to get vaccinated but we respect their freedom of choice.
Employees who choose not to get vaccinated are required to wear masks. However, please know that several of our team members choose to wear masks even though they are fully vaccinated. These employees believe masks keep them safe in all kinds of social situations and we respect their freedom of choice as well.
The Latest Updates from the State of Maine:
As of May 1, 2021 the State of Maine automatically exempted all states from the requirement to test or quarantine, unless a state is otherwise determined by the Maine CDC as being high risk.
As of May 24th, all State of Maine COVID-19 checklists have been retired.
