Groton State Forest Campground offers primitive camping across the 27,000-acre forest with multiple developed campgrounds (Stillwater, Ricker Pond, New Discovery, Big Deer, and Kettle Pond) providing tent sites, lean-tos, and cabins.

Paddlers can access motor-free ponds like Ricker Pond and Kettle Pond with boat rentals available, while anglers and hikers benefit from over 17 miles of trails and multiple lakes throughout the forest.

Reservations are recommended, especially during peak season (mid-May through October), and cell service is limited throughout the area.
