About each unit

Cabins · sleeps 6

Five cabins at Ricker Pond State Park, in Groton State Forest. A cozy one-room cabin furnished with bunk beds and a futon or sleeper couch (bring your own linens, blankets, pillows, and towels), a table and two chairs, an overhead light, and an electric outlet, a covered front porch, a picnic table, and a fire ring with a cooking grate. There's no kitchen or bathroom inside - cooking is done outside (bring your own cookware), and restrooms and showers are a short walk away. Devils Hill and Knox Mountain are wheelchair accessible; Burnt Mountain, Signal Mountain, and Spice Mountain aren't. Knox Mountain is the only one of the five that's pet-friendly.
