Campsite itself was all right. It is located in a good location near beaches and short drive to Newport and other nice towns. Some sites can be a trip to the bathrooms. Bathrooms needed help: the person responsible for them should be on the unemploment line. Don't mind paying for shower but at least use the money for upkeep on them. This campground was very quiet. We stayed in area 4 site 170 which had a great tree for shade and a hammock. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is our second time staying here. We were in site 56, which was spacious and well shaded. Family pitched a tent, plenty of room. We felt our site was attractive, grass cut, shrubs trimmed. Quiet hours are observed, people are friendly. Close to restaurants, we visited Newport and Wickford, and antique shops are nearby.State beach fees are pricey, but the beaches are beautiful and have nice amenities.Granddaughter and friend loved it.We will be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We would not stay here again. Majority of park does not have sewers, only 40 of 182 sites have sewers. Our site was directly in front of Mens Rest Room; workers and patrons would not close the door - not a pretty site. Guess it was done to try and let some of the bugs out of the bath house as it was loaded! Pay showers and cold water to boot. Beware, Reserve America adds a $19 fee each time you reserve. I had to make a date change in reservation by phone as internet would not change since I was already shown on the site. I immediately checked WiFi after making change and Reserve America had put in incorrect dates. Called them right away and it was another $19 even though it was their mistake. Reserve America says they can do nothing as the fee is a RI policy; RI State Parks says it is Reserve America policy. Somebody has bad policy but no one cares to fix it; just generate a little more income for either or both I suppose. Not much going for this park to make me want to return. Oh yeah, enjoy a nearby beach? Right, when you pay their $7 per day rate and thats only because we were Seniors and would get it for half price. Campground pass only gets you into the Campground, no place else. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Reserve America sent me an e-mail asking for a review, but they only want to know about beauty, spaciousness, quiet, etc. Actually, we liked this state park very much. My problem with this state park, as well is others, is that the summer employees do not understand that a motor home needs a level site. Reserve America only wants to know the type vehicle and # of feet. They also don't seem to have a clue about whether the sites are level. Trailers and 5th wheels can deal with unlevel sites because their tires are closer together. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We love this campground. We come every year. Very cheap. No activities but very convienent to beaches and ferry to Block Island. This year we took the ferry, which is about 2 miles down the street, to Block Island for the day. Awesome. Campground has huge site out back. All pull through. Plenty of room for extra cars. Nice paved roads for kids on bikes. Can walk dogs, really love this place. Awesome location...you can hear the light house and tug boat horns at night. Try this...you won't be disappointed. Full hookups in rear of campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a nice campground but I didn't give a higher score because of voltage problems. The neutral and hot wires were reversed which caused problems with running our furnace properly. I would highly recommend that you use a polarity tester before hooking into the electrical at this campground. Aside from that, our site was nice, site #29. The campground was pretty quiet though people did tend to drive very fast through it. In a pinch we'd go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Review is for Area 2, 30 amp and water only. Non-resident rate of $25, resident is $18. Sites are somewhat short for a motorhome and toad. Some of the sites have a hedge that can impact slides. We spent some time here and a couple of times had low voltage problems (under 80 volts). Our surge protector cut power to our rig so we had no damage, problem was fixed the next day. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very quiet and clean park. No activities but there is a playground(plenty to keep our 4 & 6 year old happy), basketball court and tennis court. Park is within minutes of state beaches and ferry to block island. Restaurants and shopping nearby. I personally did not use the restrooms, but my wife and children did and I didn't hear any complaints. We will definitely be going back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were very happy with this campground. It was clean and well kept. Full hook up sites were huge; well groomed and grassy sites. Very nice. If you're looking for activities forget it. There are none. No pool or access to water. However, there is a beach 2 miles down the road. Also, the Block Island ferry is 2 miles away. Great park for the price. We enjoyed the quietness. We'll definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground. Lots of sites in three loops, shade trees and picnic area between sites. We paid non-resident rate for a w/e site, bath house was old but clean and adequate. Good for families, with a playground, basketball, tennis, and lots of road for bike rides. Market, shopping and restaurants are within minutes. Go to Iggy's for chowder! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great CG! Lovely pull-thru sites, even for many of the w/e ones. Lots of privacy for most. Full hookup area has nice views of saltwater pond/inlet. Restrooms were barely ok, need to be updated soon, and I hate pay showers. Close (really close!) to ocean beaches and ferry to Block Island. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Paid state rate, $35 for non residents. We had a great pull through right on the pond. Most sites are very roomy. The park is close to just about everything, Block Island ferry, beaches, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It was a great place to be right near the water it was a beautiful campground at very cheap rates especially when you are right near the water. You are literally 2 minutes away from a beach. The owners were pretty friendly. The only down side were the restrooms they were dirty. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
My wife camped there with our 2 daughters and it was a very good place to stay as a base then go to other daytime activities and locations if you want to sight see (which they did). The facilities are quiet and clean. Bathrooms are clean and people were very nice. We camped here in a Tent.
I agree with the previous positive review. This is an excellent campground with an ocean breeze. Clamming is near by and one can ride a bike down to the small fishing village Galilee to buy clams and lobsters, go to the beach or take the ferry over to Block Island. It is almost impossible to get a reservation for this park in June, July and August. Many beaches near by. There are some sites not taken but call first. In May, the early part of June, September, and October you can find a site with no reservations during the week and some weekends. I would still call first to see how many sites are available. There is a big RV area with sewers that has an open look that looks out over an inlet (very pretty) but the other camping loop is private with trees and with electricity and water. There are tennis courts available and playing fields. Out of state residents pay $35 dollars for e,w and s and $25 for just w and e. If you can get in,it is a beautiful state campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the best state parks I have been in that cater to RV's. Most every site for RV's are pull through. Very spacious sites with landscape that adds to the privacy between units. Within a mile of State Park Beaches and Block Island Ferry. Of the 182 sites 35 are for tents only, electric and water on 107 sites and 40 sites with electric water and sewer. The $35 per night rate was for me being an non-resident, residents of RI have a bargin at $20 per night. Although not directly a water-front park, some sites have a view of the bay. Please check out website for reservations as it must be a very popular place in the summer. I will be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
