Stillwater State Park — Attraction in Groton

A really, really nice State Park to camp at. Stillwater is on Lake Groton, which is one of the best lakes I have been to in Vermont. I went out on a kayak and enjoyed the scenery, looking at Owls Head, Little Deer and Big Deer mountain, and seeing all the beautiful homes on the lake.

At night, hearing the loons is so peaceful, and the star filled skies shimmered like nothing else you'd see outside of the forest. The hiking trails are great! I picked raspberries and black berries, and edible mushrooms, which I learned about from the Naturalist at the Nature Center just down the road from the park! Boulder Beach is also just on the other side of the lake which was so nice to be able to go there and have a BBQ with my family and enjoy their playground, and sandy beach area.

This campground was fantastic! Tucked away in a beautiful part of Vermont, the campground is right on Groton Lake with a swimming area and designated boat launch. There's also an access path to the Montpelier & Wells River Rail Trail.

The campsites are really nice with tent sites and leanto options. The overall facility was really well kept. What stood out the most at this campground was the staff! I was having car issues and the staff was extremely helpful in helping me fix the problem! They kept checking in and asking if I needed anything, helped me research solutions, and even on their own time tried to tinker with my car to figure it out. It was above and beyond expectations! I really enjoyed my stay here and will make a point...

I'm going with a 4 star. My only real complaint is the sandy camp sites. Normally, when we stay, the sand is manageable. This week with all the rain, not so much. It is off grid camping, which we don't mind we do it every year. Camper batteries tend to have an issue by the end of the week, with only having 2 two hour blocks of run time on the generator. All in all not a bad...
