Salt Rock State Campground is a Connecticut state park preserving one mile of riverfront along the Shetucket River in the town of Sprague. The park offers 71 campsites, a swimming pool for campers, and fishing on the Shetucket.[1]
The state purchased the campground for US$750,000 in 2001[2] from Dwight and Jean Lathrop, whose "sensitive stewardship" of the property as its previous owners was recognized in the press.[3]
