The site of Camp Plymouth was thought to have been used as an encampment by soldiers of the Revolutionary War in 1777. In 1855 along the banks of Buffalo Brook, one time known as “Gold Brook,” gold was discovered.There is a group camping area on the south side of Buffalo Brook consisting of six lean-tos, tent sites, pit toilets, and a large field for activities. On the north side of the brook there are a large picnic area, play area, sandy beach, horseshoe pits, concession, and boat rentals. Four rental cottages are fully furnished rental units. There is a large enclosed picnic shelter including a kitchen for larger groups as well as two smaller open pavilion-style picnic shelters.
