Groton State Forest Campground offers primitive camping throughout the 27,000-acre forest with access to multiple ponds (Groton, Ricker, Pigeon, Noyes, Levi, and Bancroft) ideal for paddling and fishing.

Campers must follow strict guidelines including camping 1,000 feet from roads, 200 feet from trails, and 100 feet from water bodies, with a maximum of three consecutive nights per site and no camping above 2,500 feet elevation.

The forest also features developed campgrounds like Stillwater State Park with 76 sites, boat rentals, and full amenities, plus over 17 miles of hiking trails and multi-use paths for mountain biking.
