Take it to an extreme and imagine 10,000 boats anchored all over the place emptying their heads, playing music and partying all night. And you can anchor right in front of someone's beach for how many days? Why stay in a rental? Get a junk boat and anchor it in some once pristine location for the summer. Give the homeless a place to live.

Hey there ....... here's a related August 19, 2024 article from Maine TV station WGME ..... "Maine can't do anything to stop 'floating camps' popping up all over state" ..... about 20-paragraphs with six photos and 28 comments ..... no pay firewall to Google it and read it.

I checked the forum, but didn't see any overnight or weekend rental slips from private landowners. Everything is in classifieds by commercial marinas. Is there such arrangement where private landowners rent out their slips for short term? Thanks.

your best bet is to post a "situation wanted" ad on the Forum/FB Marketplace/Craig's List... I have never seen a listing service of private dock rentals for transient/temporary use.

Per NH laws from what I'm reading, even if you find a private land owner to dock and let you stay, they then have to let the state know that someone is staying over night on the dock. I don't know of too many people wanting to do that, but you never know, they might.

Do wonder the reason behind a state notification

No reason. Just crazy ideas from posters pulling your legs.
