Add article description

Salt Rock State Campground is a public recreation area that preserves one mile (1.6 km) of wooded riverfront along the Shetucket River in the town of Sprague, Connecticut.[1] In 2001, the state purchased the 149-acre (60 ha) campground for US$750,000[2] from Dwight and Jean Lathrop, whose "sensitive stewardship" of the property as its previous owners was recognized in the press.[3] The state park offers RV and tent camping sites, swimming pools, and river fishing. The state curtailed camping services in 2016,[4] reinstating them in 2018.[1]
