AUBURN — Even in the darkest stretch of a rugged Maine winter, dreams of vacation glory are on the horizon.

In April, something akin to a camper’s paradise will roll into Auburn: The largest RV and camping show ever produced under one roof in the state of Maine is coming to the Norway Savings Bank Arena on April 8 and 9, according to organizers.

The show will feature more than 60 campground exhibitors and local businesses, as well as the latest camping equipment. In addition, the show will feature many of Maine’s largest RV dealers and the very latest RV models and camping options of all sizes.

“The arena is an absolutely fabulous venue for an RV show,” said Kathy Dyer, executive director of the Maine Campground Owners Association, which is hosting the show. “And our campgrounds and RV dealers are excited about our new location, more centrally located and reaching out to a broader northern market to include Augusta, Bangor, Farmington and Oxford while still reaching the Portland market.”

Show tickets are $8 for adults; free for children 8 and younger. Visitors can receive a $2 discount by bringing in two or more nonperishable food items to benefit the Good Shepherd Food Bank.
