Salt Rock State Campground

Campground is a bit crowded with sites close together. The facilities were clean but quite old. There are some nice hiking trails along the river.

Quiet On opening weekend. Sites are a mix of field, shaded, and partly shaded. Bathrooms are atrocious - stall doors have no locks, metal fittings are rusty, paint is peeling, showers are lukewarm and temp cannot be changed. They aren’t really dirty, just poorly maintained. The site was level, it’s septic post on the site plugged with cement, its electric box a bit rusty, it’s fire ring filled with leaves from last fall. CT has some really fine recreational facilities - its state parks and conservation lands are first-rate - but it needs to pay more attention and put some money into its few state-run campgrounds!

Salt Rock, September 18-19, 2021:

Perhaps one-third full, this was a nice stop.  The bathhouses are a bit outdated, but clean and functional.  Good choice of campsites, from open to wooded, rustic to power and water.  Nice open field for activities.  Dump station needed to be pumped, and therefore not operational.  The staff is sharing time at two parks, but were cheerful and responsive.  There’s river access for fishing and boating, and group camping sites as well.  I would return again.

If you DON’T enjoy privacy, or peace and quiet, or rules being enforced, such as quiet hours...then you will maybe like it here. You can basically see every Campsite from anywhere in the park, barely any trees in between sites to add privacy. My family and I happened to be here on a full vacancy weekend, and it was so loud, we might as well of been at a festival. Not to mention the group that BLARED their music until 4:00 AM...I am not exaggerating, I was awake from 1:45-4:30 listening to it, and the other group of people talking impossibly loud as well. I will never return, and not worth the outrageous fee of $33 a night for a state campground. This place sucks!!

we had a group from work head out here. we reserved Coyote Run, and had the field to ourselves, it was a bit of a walk to the shower from there, but we had our own outhouse, bring a light for night time bathroom calls. the staff was friendly, we took our kayaks up to the dam and fished our way back. we went in early June and the pools were still closed, but we knew that when we made the reservation.

Went here with a large group of people and a few campers for a 4th of July weekend. We got the back circular field for all of us. Even though it rained, we had a blast. There are nice facilities and a pool and recreation area for the kids. We took a short walk/hike and were able to make it to a river where we floated in tubes and relaxed for the day. It was a blast and we had a great time. Everyone was friendly and the staff were accomodating.
