    Campgrounds near Warren, Rhode Island provide access to a mix of public and private facilities primarily designed for RVs and tent camping. Newport RV Park, located about 7 miles southeast of Warren in Portsmouth, offers 175 sites with full hookups in both wooded and open field areas. Most established campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from April through October, with Newport RV Park running from April 1st to October 31st. The camping landscape includes options for tent camping, RV sites with hookups, and some cabin accommodations, though primitive camping opportunities are limited in this densely populated coastal region.

    Reservations are strongly recommended throughout the camping season, especially for weekend stays during summer months when tourism peaks in Rhode Island's coastal communities. Most developed campgrounds require advance bookings, with many sites filling quickly from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The region experiences moderate temperatures with humid summers and mild winters, making late spring and early fall ideal for camping. Road access to campgrounds is generally good with paved approaches, though some sites may require leveling equipment due to sloping terrain. A recent visitor noted, "Sites were not bad. They did have stone down for a base. Sites are 1/2 in wooded areas and 1/2 in open field."

    Many campers highlight the region's proximity to coastal attractions as a primary benefit of staying at campgrounds near Warren. Fishing opportunities, hiking trails, and nearby beaches enhance the camping experience. Several campgrounds feature clean facilities and quieter atmospheres compared to more tourist-heavy areas. According to one review, "This park was very nice, but they advertise being 5 miles away from historic Newport, and it's more like 8. There are zero bike paths that are immediately accessible and Newport drivers are not walker/biker friendly." Campers should be prepared for relatively compact campgrounds with varying levels of privacy between sites. While some locations offer waterfront views or pond access, many camping areas are set back from shorelines with beach access requiring a short drive.

      Fishermens Memorial State Park Campground

      Would definitely come back!

      We stayed a week and really enjoyed it. There is lots to do in the area but we also loved hanging around our campsite in the afternoon which was quiet since everyone was gone for the day. There are two public beaches nearby that are a really big draw. 

      The campground is divided into four loops. Loops 1 and 2 are for RVs and have sewer, water, and electricity and have paved camping pads. Loop 3 is for tents only. Loop 4 is water and electric with gravel pads. There is nice grass around campsites but bring a patio mat because everyone has used one in the past which has killed the grass. In my opinion, the best sites are 70-73 with a water view and facing west for a nice sunset. Sites 53-65, 75-79 are alongside a busy road that is quite noisy and the sites are extremely unlevel. About half the sites are level so pay attention to "grade" when booking your site. 

      All loops have a bathhouse except for Area 1. The tent sites are in a separate loop and have a bathroom centrally located. Tent sites have nice grass, a paved parking area, fire pit and picnic table. Some offer more shade than others. There really are no hiking trails– just a¼-mile mowed path around one of the old bunkers (this was a military instillation in WWII and while you can’t go in them for safety reasons there are some interpretive panels with historical information). There are two tennis courts, basketball, horseshoes, and a playground. We loved the farmers market that is held in the park every Sunday. 

      Check-in requires a driver's license and proof of vehicle registration so make sure you bring it when registering in the office. Since many campers did not know this, it caused a line at registration and a long back-up of RVs checking in. The campground does not sell firewood but you can find it at a nearby convenient mart. There are two EV charging station but they are at the registration office which is not very close to campsites. 

      Two miles away is the little town of Galilee where there are restaurants, seafood markets (where you can buy live lobster right off the boat), and the ferry dock that takes you to Block Island. About 4 miles north of the campground is a much bigger town with lots of restaurants, groceries, Walmart, etc. Less than a mile away is Aunt Carries which has delicious ice cream. Within two miles are two public beaches (which are free but require a parking pass which is$12/day for non-residents or$60/season).

      Sun Outdoors Mystic

      Mixed feelings about the campground but love the area.

      We have stayed at this campground many times because we love the towns of Mystic and Stonington. The campground has changed hands many times and it seems things are always different. I’ll start off with the bad. At check-in, we were greeted by one of the rudest people we have encountered in fifteen years of full-time RVing. There is a page of rules but they don’t seem to be enforced– like dogs off leash and no fences at your campsite. There are seasonal campers that are proud to fly political flags but I suppose there are no rules against that. The park is a mix of seasonals (who seem to just come on weekends to party) and transients. There are lots of amenities (which we did not use) but still had to pay the$10/day resort fee which really drives up the cost. This is a Passport America park so we were able to get 50% off on our stay. The laundry was really dirty (including a wet, slippery floor) and very busy since there weren’t that many machines and some were broken. 

      As for the good. We had a long, level back-in site with lots of room on both sides of us. The grass was lush and nicely mowed (which our dog loved) and we had a nice shade tree. The utilities worked well but were placed at the back of the site and the water was a shared spigot on opposite side. Our water hose was long enough so I didn’t have to add another one to reach the spigot. There are no sewer sites but there are two dump stations available. 

      There is a hiking trail nearby (Hoffman Evergreen Presreve) that we like to visit and is great for dogs. The campground is very convenient to downtown Mystic, the aquarium, and Mystic Seaport Village. Our GPS routed us through the tiny town of Old Mystic which was really tricky to navigate. If you are in a big-rig, we suggest using the Cow Hill Road exit off I-95 and then HWY184 to the campground.

      Pinewood Lodge Campground

      Nice woodsy campsite with lots of amenities

      We visited in early June and really appreciated the shade at our site as the temps rose into the mid-80’s. There are lots of tall pine trees but are trimmed back and not a problem getting or big-rig through the park or in our site. We loved site 47 which was long and level with nice grass around it. The next site (46) was pretty close, but luckily nobody was in it while we visited. Our patio area was fairly large with no other sites next to it, just a road. We chose a 50A/water pull thru site and the electric was good at 124 volts on each leg. Honey wagon service is quite expensive at $35/pump out, or you can use the dump station for free. We used the campground cable tv and got about 60 stations, included the major stations (local news was out of Boston). This was a good thing since the trees blocked our Dish receiver from getting any channels. The wifi was 2.4G and just o.k. You could surf the internet but definitely not strong enough to stream.  I went to the lodge and got great wifi speed to download movies quickly. 

      The campground is gated and charges$15/day for visitors. There are lots of amenities. There is a good access to a small lake (with a canoe/kayak launch and rentals), fishing pier (for catch and release, no license required), ice cream stand, food truck, playground, a large dog park (with two runs), laundry, playground, horseshoes, etc. The campground is conveniently to the downtown Plymouth attractions (10 minutes) and a grocery store (2 miles).  

      The biggest downside was the dust since most of the roads are gravel. It was very dry during our visit and the dust was crazy. Another negative was the $5/day pet fee. There are restrictions as to where you can walk your pets in the campground and they are not allowed on the beach.  There is a good size dog park with two runs.  If you dog is afraid of gunshots, do not come here as there is a gun range nearby that is pretty loud.

      Peters Pond RV Resort

      Overpriced, mostly seasonal sites

      This park is mainly seasonal campers with a handful of transient sites. We were in a 50A, full hookup, pull thru that was plenty long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. Other transient sites include shorter 30A sites and tent sites. (P9 is a really nice back-in site on the water and steps away from the beach, snack shack and bar.) 

      Our site was nicely shaded, level, and paved (as are all the roads). The utilities worked well and were located in the middle of the site.  The only negative was that the sewer was uphill and didn’t drain properly. Cable tv is included and we got about 60 channels. There was a wifi router right outside our window so the internet was good for surfing but not enough to stream. The campground was gated and you have a key card to get in.  

      This park has a lot of amenities– two beaches, pool, snack bar, bouncy pillow, basketball and baseball fields, snack bars, and scheduled activities.  The campground is located on Peters Pond but it is pretty small and not even large enough for me to want to blow up my paddleboard. That is great if you use them because you have to pay a$15/day resort fee. We used none of them so found the nightly price to be very high. Plus, the nightly rate for weekends is higher. We had a 25% discount code but our nightly weekend rate was still over$90/night. In my opinion the park could use some more attention as far as picking up trash, keeping grass around sites mowed, and cleaning the laundry facilities (which were pretty gross). We stayed in early June so the park was pretty quiet as kids were not out of school. But, I can imagine in the summer it gets really busy with as big as the park is. We were there over a weekend and it did get busier, and seemed everyone broke out their golf carts to ride around listening to music and drinking or entertaining their screaming kids.

      For the most part, it is big-rig friendly but, we did hit some trees and had to go out a different way to avoid low hanging branches. We probably would not stay again due to the price and our campsite was just o.k.

      Douglas Forest RV Resort

      Great weekend.

      We spent the weekend here with our 4 kiddos ages 8,6,4, and 3. The kids had a blast. The bathrooms are spotless. They are in the process if renovating but that didnt interfere with our visit. They have a playground, pool, and yard games for the kiddos to use. Wish they had bigger grass sites. I think they will have some in the future.

      Horseneck Beach State Reservation

      Beachside camping, but expensive for non-residents.

      This is a great oceanfront campground located behind the dunes of Buzzards Bay. We booked early since the park only has 100 sites and we wanted a 50A site (not all sites have electric so pay close attention when you book). Our campsite has a picnic table and fire pit and was paved with a sand patio. The electric was good with both legs above 120 volts. The bathhouse was clean and is situated in the middle of the campground. There is a dump station which is easily accessible. Roads are one-way but the sites are angled so backing in was easy. Water spigots scattered throughout the campground, and we were close enough to one that we could have filled our tank, if needed.  There is no shade and it can be quite windy.  Dogs are allowed on the beach at the campground which is a plus.  The sunsets were amazing.  There is a small playground for kids but the beach is the draw. 

      The nightly price for Massachusetts residents is a bargain at $28 but it jumps up over $70 for non-Massachusetts residents. The beach is cobblestone/sand and there is a nice paved walking path that runs parallel. The beach by the campground is very rocky but there is another day use area to the west which gets raked and they remove all the rocks, but can be very busy. There is another hiking trail (about 2 miles) that you can walk to from the campground that goes out on a spit of land where you can walk back along the sandy beach. The beach access is easy since there are mobility mats connecting the campground to the beach. 

      The closest grocery is approximately 10 minutes away and there are a couple of restaurants closer. We took a drive to New Bedford to see the Whaling Museum and the National Park Service site– both were worth the stop. All in all, we really liked our stay at Horseneck Reservation and would return.

      Salt Rock Campground

      Enjoyed our weekend here

      We did a family campout here and had several sites together. We camped in our pop up in the field. We were close to activities and enjoyed an afternoon tubing down the river. The bathrooms weren't the cleanest, but we've seen worse. We enjoyed our time here.

      West Thompson Lake Campground

      Nice Campground!

      We stayed at one of the lean-to sites and really enjoyed our time here. We went fishing and explored the area. We hiked to the tri-state marker (CT-MA-RI) on a nearby trail. Plenty to do and see! Bathrooms were cleaner than what we are used to in a state campground.

      Mashamoquet Brook Campground — Mashamoquet Brook State Park

      Pretty, but loud

      Campground was great. Site was in great shape, everything in order. Portapotties were large. The road made the trip horrible for peace and quiet lovers. I knew it was close to the road, but right on top of it AND a heavily traveled route.

    Guide to Warren

    Campsites near Warren, Rhode Island range from basic tent areas to full-hookup RV sites within a 30-mile radius. The coastal New England region experiences average summer highs in the mid-80s with frequent ocean breezes reducing humidity compared to inland areas.

    What to do

    Hiking and biking trails: Massasoit State Park in East Taunton offers extensive multi-use trails for day activities. "Great spot for running, walking, hiking, biking, fishing, and exploring! Beautiful, silent, and shows the power nature has," notes a visitor to Massasoit State Park Campground.

    Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds provide freshwater fishing access within walking distance of campsites. At Newport RV Park, "their is a nice pond to go fishing at as well. About an 20 min drive to local beaches," according to one camper at Newport RV Park.

    Beach access: Many campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring Rhode Island's coastal areas. At Horseneck Beach State Reservation, "the beach is a bit rocky but the water is blean and sandy. The sites are spacious, yet if you pick one in the midde of the grounds you're pretty much out in the open."

    What campers like

    Proximity to attractions: Camping near Warren provides convenient access to Newport and other coastal towns. "This is the perfect place to stay if your visiting Newport,RI. We had a great time at this small campground, very clean and nice staff," shares a visitor to Melville Ponds Campground.

    Clean facilities: Many campers highlight well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities at campgrounds in the region. At Fishermen's Memorial State Park, visitors appreciate that "facilities were spotless. Hookups were awesome and easy. Layout is amazing, mostly pull through and pet friendly."

    Off-season camping: Early fall camping offers reduced crowds and pleasant temperatures. "We stayed here the weekend after Labor Day weekend in 2014, and it was pretty quiet. Nice for biking, cute little beach, dog friendly," reports a camper at Burlingame State Park Campground.

    What you should know

    Price variations: Rhode Island state parks charge significantly higher rates for out-of-state campers. "I read the reviews and was excited to be in a state park near the water for such a reasonable price. Imagine my surprise when we found out that a water/electric site for an out of state camper was $45 per night!"

    Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds close by mid-October. At Boston/Cape Cod KOA, "I have belong to KOA's for quite a few years and I have learned that you really need to upgrade to the better campsites to enjoy your stay."

    Reservation requirements: Advance bookings are essential, particularly for weekend stays during summer. "We were here a couple years ago and told everyone we knew about it in the PNW never knowing if our big road trips would have us near Foxboro again," shares a camper at Normandy Farms Campground.

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for dedicated activity areas: Several campgrounds offer playgrounds and recreation facilities. At Wawaloam Campground, "This is kid heaven. Families laughing & enjoying themselves. Besides the pool they have a splash pad, a water slide, mini golf, a nice pond for fishing."

    Consider noise levels: Family-friendly campgrounds can get loud, especially on weekends. "Loud music, bright lights until 3am. Zero enforcement of 10pm curfew in sites 16 and above," reports a visitor at Fort Getty Campground.

    Pack for varying weather: Coastal New England can experience significant temperature swings. "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 a camper at Horseneck Beach State Reservation.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection matters: Many campgrounds offer various hookup options with significant price differences. "We chose a paved full hook-up pull thru with paved patio (Site E1). Our site was easy to navigate in and out of and was definitely big rig-friendly with ample space for our motorhome and tow car."

    Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds feature uneven terrain. "Several campgrounds require advance bookings, with many sites filling quickly from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The region experiences moderate temperatures with humid summers and mild winters, making late spring and early fall ideal for camping."

    Dump station availability: Not all campgrounds offer on-site dump stations. "There are 6 spots with water and electric, there's a campground not too far with a dump station for $20. The view is nice and there's a recreation area next to the campground," notes a camper at Carr Point Recreation Facility.
