RV sites near North Seekonk, Massachusetts occupy a region approximately 10 miles east of Providence, Rhode Island in Bristol County. The area features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging between 50-200 feet above sea level, creating moderately sloped camping pads. Most campgrounds operate seasonally with the majority closing between mid-October and mid-April due to New England's harsh winter conditions.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Peters Pond RV Resort provides access to a well-stocked pond where campers can fish throughout their stay. "Great fishing and nice clean sites," notes one visitor, highlighting the recreational benefits beyond just camping.
Dog walking trails: Newport RV Park connects directly to hiking paths suitable for pets. "We got a great pull through full hookup with a 5 minute walk to a huge dog park. There are also a bunch of beautiful trails right from the park," explains a camper who appreciated the pet-friendly amenities.
Historic exploration: Thousand Trails Gateway to Cape Cod provides convenient access to regional landmarks. "Loved the easy access to Cape Cod, Plymouth, and Boston," shares one camper, making it a strategic base for regional sightseeing.
Water activities: "We fished, hiked, swam, crabbed and had awesome camp fires. We could of lived off of the land if so inclined," reports a Gateway to Cape Cod visitor, demonstrating the variety of activities available within a single location.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Newport RV Park provides larger camping areas compared to other regional options. "The distance between sites was far enough that you did not feel cramped or on top of your neighbor," reports one reviewer who appreciated the privacy.
Clean facilities: Many campers emphasize the importance of well-maintained amenities. "The bathrooms in the campground were newer and immaculate," notes a visitor to Sun Outdoors Mystic, mentioning one of the factors that contributed to their positive experience.
Pond access: Peters Pond RV Resort receives consistent praise for its water features. "Pool was good, pond was great. We really enjoyed the beach raft, able to kayak and did some fishing," explains a family who visited during September.
Location convenience: Campers value proximity to regional attractions. "Great location to explore the cites and beaches of Rhode Island!" notes a reviewer at Newport RV Park, highlighting the strategic position for area explorations.
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds in the region have limited operating seasons. "Of all the Thousand Trails campgrounds in the Northeast this one isn't too bad. It's a huge park with mostly seasonal/annual campers. (Campground is not open all year, though)," explains one Gateway to Cape Cod visitor.
Site leveling challenges: Melville Ponds Campground (Newport RV Park) requires preparation for uneven terrain. "The main campground is on a slope, so be prepared for some leveling requirements, especially sites #216 and #217 (front to back)," warns a camper who stayed there.
Variable cell service: Connectivity differs significantly between parks. "Cell reception was not good, neither with AT&T nor Verizon. They have Wifi at the park which I haven't tried," reports a Gateway to Cape Cod visitor who had communication challenges.
Weather considerations: Tree cover impacts some sites. "Biggest negative was the trees can drop a lot of sap so be ready to wash your rig and vehicles as soon as you leave if it was a heavy sap time," notes a visitor to Gateway to Cape Cod.
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: Sun Outdoors Mystic offers water recreation for children. "The appearance was that it was well cared for and was a very popular attraction for families," observes a reviewer who visited in spring before peak season.
Playground access: Many parks provide play areas for children. "Nice campground, a mix of seasonal & short-term visitors. The sites are VERY close, but the people are nice and we had a great stay...My kids enjoyed playing tennis & swimming in the pool at the campground," reports a visitor to Ashaway RV Resort.
Tent section options: Some campgrounds accommodate non-RV camping families. "There is a nice tent section that has a number of nice sites but do not have hookups but are located near a bathhouse," notes a Sun Outdoors Mystic visitor, providing information for traditional camping families.
Off-season benefits: Visiting after peak times provides advantages. "School started late so we were able to book after the holiday in September. Weather was still warm. Pool was good, pond was great. It was not crowded that time of year, so it was very enjoyable," shares a Peters Pond visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Douglas Forest RV Resort requires careful consideration when choosing a location. "The RV sites are spacious and easy to navigate, with full hookups and strong Wi-Fi— a big plus for us since we work remotely on the road," reports one visitor who found a suitable spot.
Dump station availability: Not all parks offer on-site waste disposal. "There are only 6 spots with water and electric, there's a campground not too far with a dump station for $20," notes a visitor to Carr Point Recreation Facility, highlighting the need for planning waste management.
Pull-through accessibility: Certain campgrounds accommodate easier parking. "We had a great pull through full hookup with a 5 minute walk to a huge dog park," mentions a Newport RV Park visitor who appreciated the convenient site configuration.
Electric service variations: Service capacity differs between parks. "Biggest negative was the electrical system needs significant attention. Multiple RVs share single pedestals, and we observed exposed wire connections and pest issues at electrical boxes. Power fluctuations are common during warm weather, causing frequent breaker trips," warns a Douglas Forest RV Resort visitor.
