About
Salt Rock Campground (Salt Rock State Forest) is a Connecticut State Forest campground with 57 sites near Baltic. Tent and RV sites, some with recently-upgraded 50-amp full-hookup service (sites 1-7); includes 2 group non-electric sites. Electric and water hookup sites available (confirmed via live per-site amenity data, not just the site-type name). Reservable through Connecticut State Parks' own ReserveAmerica contract (connecticutstateparks.reserveamerica.com), up to 11 months in advance. Connecticut's camping system is uniformly reservation-based - no first-come-first-served-only campground was found in this state's system.
Fees
$33/$37/$40/night for CT residents, $45/$48/$52/night for non-CT residents (portal.ct.gov DEEP fee schedule; tiered by site type, reflecting Salt Rock's recently-upgraded 50-amp full-hookup sites 1-7). Plus a ReserveAmerica reservation processing fee. Pets ARE allowed here (this is a State Forest campground, not a State Park campground) - Connecticut DEEP's own policy: "Pets are prohibited in State Park camping areas, but permitted at State Forests," limited to 2 per campsite on a leash no longer than 7 feet, with proof of rabies vaccination; not allowed in cabins.
