Salt Rock State Campground

Salt Rock State Campground is a wooded recreation area in Sprague with tent and RV sites and dedicated group camping areas. The property includes hiking trails, fishing spots, picnic areas, and basic facilities such as restrooms and fire rings.

The site was converted in early 2001 from former farmland into a public recreation area by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. This transformation created a new nature and leisure destination for the community.

The campground serves as a central point for outdoor education programs and community gatherings, connecting visitors with Connecticut's natural heritage.

It works best to arrive early and explore the trails during daylight hours while also finding quieter fishing spots. Weekdays or early mornings are recommended for a more relaxed experience, as weekends tend to be busier.

The Providence and Worcester Railroad line passes through the property, giving visitors occasional glimpses of trains traveling through the forest. This unexpected feature connects the nature experience with the region's railroad history.
