One of the best places to camp, hike and bike. The old railroad bed is one of the best places for a family bike ride, it is fairly level though out the Groton State Forrest. Very nice tent sites and lean to's, not much in the way of trailer camping as the sites are primitive but there are dump stations at each campground.
Charming little place.....
If you're not from Vermont I hope you plan on having no internet. No internet or ceulluar connection within at least 20-30 miles from the camp site. Very hard to find places to eat and to just get to places. Everything is within driving distance at least 30 miles to get food. No good places to eat. If you're a wilderness person and enjoy the beauty of life by all means enjoy! The employees was nice. Camp site was nice and the view is amazing. However, barley any showers and showers was dirty. The campsite was spacious, clean and welcoming.
Recommended sites: 8 gets you right next to the swimmers beach (great when the kids were smaller), 2 has a "stone picnic table", any site on the 1-10 loop is close to the pavilion in case of rainy days, a combination of 22+23 or Spice Mountain Cabin + 21 would be great if you have a larger group or two families camping. Lots of good leantos on the north end, but I haven't stayed in them.
My favorite things about the campground are: (1) Small size without the party atmosphere, (2) Quiet setting, (3) Nesting family of loons breaking the quiet, (4) Stuff for the kids to explore, (5) Water activities including swimming and canoes/kayaks, (6) Rail trail bike path.
**Was very close to highway so you can hear cars @ night and you hear the loons for sure @ nights. They sound like wolves!**
Beautiful Park...park has very helpful and pleasant people working there
We've brought our family to this campground year after year since our kids were quite little (even coming multiple times a year).
