Grout Pond is a popular destination for camping, hiking, paddling, and fishing. Located in a beautiful mixed conifer and hardwood forest, the campground has 12 reservable sites and offers easy access to over 10 miles of mulituse trails.

Nearby attractions include hiking trails accessible from the site and paddling on the pond. The campground is also in close proximity to Appalachian/Long Trail trailheads off Kelly Stand Road and Stratton Mountain Resort and Village.

Grout Pond offers a variety of recreation opportunities year-round. In the warmer months, fishing and non-motorized boating is popular on the pond. A 200-foot carry-in boat launch is accessible from an unloading pull-out just before the parking lot.

Please help prevent the spread of non-native invasive species, such as Eurasian watermilfoil, by cleaning and drying your boat between each use.

Hiking is another popular activity at Grout Pond. Over 10 miles of relatively flat trails are accessible from the campground. These trails connect with a more extensive system off National Forest lands around Somerset Reservoir to the south. Trails that are marked with blue diamond blazes are designed for cross-country skiing and can be very wet and muddy in the spring, summer, and even fall.

The campground offers 12 overnight sites available for reservation. Nine of these sites are tent sites accessed by hiking in from the main parking area. Hike-in distances vary from a quarter to three-quarters of a mile. Three campsites are drive-in sites that accomodate small RVs. The campground also offers two drive-in sites that are available on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved.

All campsites are outfitted with fire rings and several have picnic tables. Hike-in sites have tent pads please use the tent pads in order to minimize camping impacts. Vault toilets are located off the main parking area and near the old cabin building.Potable water is available from an old-fashioned hand pump in the day use area near the pond.

Grout Pond is 84 acres and 28 feet deep. The water can be chilly but refreshing on a hot summer day. The campground is located along the pond and is shaded by red maple, yellow birch and red spruce. Fall foliage viewing in the autumn months is excellent.
