About Big Deer State Park
A campground sits at the center of this park, positioned within Groton State Forest rather than standing on its own. Its location puts it near the Groton Nature Center as well as Boulder Beach State Park and Stillwater State Park, making it one piece of a larger cluster of public land in the forest. Visitors coming here are essentially choosing a base camp within that shared forest system.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
