Overview:
Now managed by Connecticut DEEP, Salt Rock offers peaceful riverside camping with tent and RV sites along the Shetucket River. While there are no cabins, it’s a beautiful, off-the-radar option for traditional camping.

Why It’s Worth a Stop:
It’s a great alternative to more crowded state parks and offers tranquil views, great fishing, and easy access to trails and waterfalls. The vibe is laid-back and the sites are nicely spaced.

What to Know Before You Go:
• No cabins—tent and RV sites only.
• Restrooms and showers available.
• Limited amenities—best for self-contained campers.
• Open seasonally.

Fun Fact:
The campground was once privately operated and praised for its “sensitive stewardship” before being purchased by the state to preserve its natural character.
