Parking is free to the public. Damascus has street parking throughout downtown, plus long-term lots by the Town Park and Town Pool for overnight parking. Many businesses have their own parking as well.
If you are staying at lodging in town, we recommend that you "park and ride" during your stay here - park at your lodging and walk or bike around town. Damascus is a small town, and besides, anywhere is walking distance if you have enough time (even Maine!).

Long-term parking is provided at two lots in town, first come, first served.

Parking registration allows us to contact vehicle owners or emergency contacts if there are any issues and to understand trip duration for the security of the vehicle. Long-term parking is limited to 30 days or less.
Overnight camping is not permitted in long-term lots or within town limits. Find a place to stay at Campgrounds & RV Parks .
