Salt Rock State Campground is a public recreation area that preserves 1miles of wooded riverfront along the Shetucket River in the town of Sprague, Connecticut. In 2001, the state purchased the 149acres campground for US$750,000 from Dwight and Jean Lathrop, whose "sensitive stewardship" of the property as its previous owners was recognized in the press. The state park offers RV and tent camping sites, swimming pools, and river fishing. The state curtailed camping services in 2016, reinstating them in 2018.
