Stillwater State Park - Pavilion

Stillwater State Park

Stillwater State Park is a gem of campground nestled in Groton State Forest. The campground has 62…read moretent/RV sites and 17 lean-tos many which are on shores of crystal clear Lake Groton. There are two beaches, one specifically for swimming only, plus one with boat access and docks that allows your furry friends to cool off. Yes, pets are allowed! Kayaks, sailboats, and canoes can be rented or bring your own. I left mine safely down on the beach without any issues. Also, the park has trailer parking for those using fishing or ski boats. To top it off, there's a large, covered pavilion with a rustic fireplace, picnic tables, and spacious charcoal BBQ grills (I mean big) for any special parties or reunions. As far as my stay, it was wonderful! Within the 26,000 acre forest, there is Boulder Beach, Kettle Pond, New Discovery State Park, Ricker Pond, the Central Vermont bike trail system, hiking trails, the Owl Head lookout, and a Nature Center. Hiking, biking, bird watching, nature photography, boating, camp fires are pristine and plentiful. Loons could be heard and seen daily! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Camping sites have plenty of mature forest surrounding them to keep your neighbors hidden or absorb noise etc. The showers and bathrooms were clean and plentiful. I cannot wait to return to the area this Fall. From Burlington, VT, it was a tad over an hour taking I89 to State Highway 302 and 232. While you are in the area, check out P&H truck (I have reviewed that) or stop at the many roadside fresh farm garden stands to use for your campsite cooking. If you really need coffee or other supplies, there is a Camp Country Store within walking distance from Stillwater State Park on Stillwater Road or drive 5 miles to the Upper Valley Grill located at the Routes' 232/302 junction. My favorite reason for visiting the area, besides all the great stuff I just typed above, is it isn't crowded! The amount of outdoor recreation available allows everyone to spread out, enjoy and have their space without overuse. 5 Stars for sure Stillwater, well done!

I stayed at this park in July 2022. I had T46 campsite for my tent. It was very close to the…read morebathrooms and to the beautiful lake. Lake Groton. I had a picnic table and and place to build a fire. It was fairly private and I enjoyed it. The lake was absolutely beautiful to swim in and I brought my stand up paddle board too. Lots of boats out on the water. There are also campsites for campers. 56 campsites altogether. A nice pavilion with seating. Bathroom was pretty clean and you can take a shower for a few quarters. It's right near the Montpelier river rail trail where you can walk or bike. Careful for the bears around. They were at the dumpsters nightly.

Perfect family campground! Local owner owned, very well maintained and clean. Check in is…read moreseamless, well stocked on site store. You'll appreciate the established feel, the mature landscaping, and the quiet nature of the guests. atmosphere was pure Vermont. We were in a deluxe site with concrete pad and picnic table, near the shuffle board court- it was great. Next time we come we may try a site that backs up to the river to mix it up.

Check-in at the store where you will find souveniers, cold beverages, firewood, toys, pet supplies…read moreand some food items. Car and RV parking is in front of the building. A gate code is needed to access the campground. We rented a cabin here. There are four. Two of them are 'deluxe' and have indoor cook tops. The others do not allow indoor cooking and have grills outside. The kitchen was very well kitted with everything you could need. The Deluxe cabin we rented was decorated in a cabin style with bear and moose motif items. A table for two in the kitchen, a couch for two or three and a nice rocker. A small desk is in the corner of the livingroom with a kitchen chair for seating. Hooks for coats and a place for shoes by the door. The gas fireplace is shut off in the summer because the pilot heats up the cabin. They are on from Septemer 1st. The bedroom has a queen bed, (linens and blankets provided) full dresser, bedside tables, another kitchen chair (a total of four in the cabin) and luggage rack. Two narrow closets included hangers, extra pillows and towels for the pool or hot tub. Three quarter bath was well maintained. Two bath towels and one hand towel. Hand soap on vanity. Hair dryer and extra TP under sink. Shelves for toiletries. Clothes hook on back of door. Two seats and a table are on the front porch. Our parking space was in front of the porch. A picnic table and firepit are to the right of the porch, at the end of the parking space. Our porch faced the gravel road into the campground. The campground is tiered from the road down to the river with camper spots on each tier. No spots are directly on the river. A field designated as a dog exercise area is next to the river, then a small, rocky beach to the river. The road noise is heard throughout the campground, even at the brook where the river babbles over the stones, which is very pleasant. The onsite store rents tubes for riding the river. A path to the left of the dog area ends where you can put the tube in the water, ride it to the end of the beach and repeat the process. Laundry, public bathrooms and shower bathrooms are in a newer, climate controlled building near the playground. A pass code is needed to enter. Two pools and a hot tub are near the office/store. Mini-golf is behind the store. Dump station on the way out near the dumpsters. Gravel roads are maintained. Some site have full hook-up, fire pit and picnic table. Very pet friendly.

I won't go in to the embarrassing and awful details of my first night at the campsite but let's…read morejust say if it wasn't for the generosity and over-the-top unbeatable hospitality of Martha, owner of Maple Hill, and her family (and friends), our weekend would have been absolutely ruined. Maple Hill offers an in-expensive and convenient camping experience for those looking to go hiking or sight seeing in the Bristol/Waterbury area. The "downtown" of Bristol is a short drive away if you need to buy supplies or want a nice evening out for dinner and ice cream. They have both wooded and field sites you can get a nice spot right on the river. There is also a bathhouse with running water, showers, and flush toilets. I have never been so pleased with an experience of true human compassion and the people running this campground are what all humans should achieve to be. I know this review may be somewhat cryptic but might I just add: Make sure that you remember that the road for the campground is located across the street from the white house and not to find yourself going down a rocky dirt road in the dark, in a rainstorm, in the fog....Things may not end up well for you haha. Anyways, Martha is the best and thank God for AAA. Check in and registration is at the white house and campsites run about 25/night for non electric sites.

Great little campground!…read more We had a spot right over the brook and fell asleep to the sound of it babbling. Some of the wooded spots are definitely on the small side but they vary. The field sites are huge, and open... they don't offer the privacy but would be a fantastic place camp with a group and stargaze. Maybe the only time I have used a campground bathroom and not had to avoid the hordes of harvestmen/daddylong-legs. And the bathroom lights are solar powered! Super nice owner, low rates, very clean grounds. It's close to some neat swimming holes, hiking and mountain biking trails, as well.
