TravelerWe booked this campground, as well as 2 others, to see how we liked them to visit our daughter and granddaughter. We are in section 2, site 016. Small site, did not get level. Beautiful beaches and homes in the area.
ScoutNice location if you like taking day trips. We explored during the day and came back to camp each night.
ScoutI always find this is a good spot to have a few quiet nights. Can set up a fire an lf just relax. There are bathrooms with showers but byob bath stuff
TravelerWe came in the day after Labor Day ~ after 280 rv’s checked out ~ so it may not have been as peaceful over the weekend, but I heard everyone had lots of fun. The grounds are beautiful!
ScoutWe used Gibson Hill as one of the stops on a longer New England RV trip. By the time we arrived, we had been driving quite a bit and really didn’t want another complicated travel day. We got the RV parked, took showers, made something easy for dinner, and stayed put for the rest of the night. The following morning we were rested and ready to explore again. For road trips like ours, having somewhere to stop for a couple of nights and reset can make a huge difference.
ScoutWe wanted to visit Providence without actually staying in the city and decided to camp instead. We drove in for the day, had dinner there, and came back to the RV afterward. It made the trip feel like we got a city getaway and a camping weekend at the same time.
ScoutNothing beats cooking breakfast outside on a cool Connecticut morning. Coffee tasted especially good on this trip.
ScoutWe picked this campground because we wanted to explore both Connecticut and Rhode Island without changing campsites halfway through the trip. It worked really well for that. We spent most of the day out exploring and came back in the evening to make dinner at the RV. Much more relaxing than bouncing between hotels.
ScoutWe brought the camper for a quick two-night getaway and spent most of our time doing absolutely nothing. Cooked outside, read a little, and finally slowed down for a weekend.

Beach exploration: 5 miles from Horseneck Beach State Reservation features rocky shoreline with excellent shell collecting opportunities. "The beach is small and quiet, and has some great shells and rocks. All in all, a quiet campground with the fundamentals," writes Lyssa M.
Stargazing: Best in early June when skies are clear and crowds are minimal. "The area is very dark at night so if you are into stargazing, this is a great place to bring a telescope or a good camera to take some pictures. We woke in the middle of the morning to see the Milky Way in the sky above us quite clearly," notes Kyle C. from Horseneck Beach.
Local vineyards: 15-minute drive from campgrounds to Westport Rivers Vineyard for wine tasting. "There is a lot to do in the area too. I recommend the MA Audubon park, Buzzards Bay Brewing, and Westport Rivers Vineyard," reports Jess G.

Easy beach access: Less than 5-minute walks to shorelines from most coastal campgrounds. "We loved being right on the beach. There are no hookups but water is easily acquired and there is a dumping station. We loved being able to hike for hours right from our campsite," reports Deborah D.
Newport proximity: Within 20 minutes of Carr Point Recreation Facility, giving military families access to historic sites. "About 20 minutes to downtown Newport, so this made visiting the town easy. Given that its military only, you cant beat the price," notes Laura R.

Limited shade at beach sites: Most coastal camping areas feature minimal tree coverage. "Being a state park on the beach, there is little in the way of foliage so there is nothing between you and the next camp site to give you much privacy," Kyle C. explains about Horseneck Beach.
Constant coastal winds: Evening temperatures drop considerably. "We stayed in early June and found both nights to be very cold with the constant wind coming off of the water so bring an extra blanket," advises Kyle C.

Seasonal rates variation: Prices fluctuate significantly throughout the camping season. "The park is open from April 15th to November 15th. Prices vary depending on the season, if you have a weekly/monthly rate, and the type of hook-ups you want," adds Nancy W.
