Beartown State Forest

Beartown State Forest Campground offers 12 primitive campsites nestled along 35-acre Benedict Pond, with several sites directly on the shoreline, making it ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking waterfront camping.

The campground provides direct water access for fishing and boating, along with a sandy beach with a roped swimming area, though amenities are basic (flushable toilets, fresh water, but no showers or hookups).

Advance reservations are required; note that black bears frequent the area, so all food must be stored in provided lockers.
