Grout Pond Campground
The Grout Pond Campground facility will be under construction during the 2026 season. The Pond Loop Trail leading walk-in sites 1 - 11 will be under construction from May - October. Campsites 1 - 11 will be open on a first-come, first-served basis and will not be reservable on Recreation.gov. The trail will be upgraded to accessible standards, which will greatly improve the visitor experience. Parking in the lower lot near the pond will be very limited due to the construction staging area. Please use caution at the site, as equipment will be using the access road and Pond Loop trail to complete the improvements. Thank you for your patience as we improve the site for future use.
Winhall Brook
Due to ongoing construction, reservations for the 2026 recreation season are currently unavailable. We are committed to the reopening of the Winhall Brook Camping Area, and will open reservations when we determine an opening date. Thank you for your patience.
