Campgrounds in the Cumberland Hill, Rhode Island area range from full-service RV resorts to more traditional camping experiences within a 30-mile radius.

The region supports diverse accommodation options including tent camping, RV sites with hookups, cabin rentals, and some glamping facilities. Most developed campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, with the majority open from April through October or early November.
The camping season typically runs from mid-April through Columbus Day, with some facilities like Holiday Acres Campground remaining open year-round. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and holiday weekends when facilities reach capacity. According to one visitor, "Normandy Farms is perfect. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is lovely. The sites are level, the bathrooms/showers are spotless with piped in music and hairdryers." Water and electric hookups are standard at most developed campgrounds in the region, though amenities vary significantly from basic state park facilities to resort-style properties with multiple recreation options. Proximity to urban areas means most campgrounds have reliable cell service and are within driving distance of conveniences.
Several campgrounds near Cumberland Hill feature waterfront access, including Holiday Acres with its pond frontage and boat-in camping options. While water-based recreation draws many visitors, campground experiences vary dramatically in terms of site privacy and noise levels. A camper noted of Circle Campground Farm, "We did Boston (caught the train), Salem, mystic seaport, Sturbridge village, plymouth rock, the Mayflower ship, and plymouth plantation spending no more than 1hr and 20 min at the most in the car!" The strategic location makes these campgrounds popular bases for exploring New England attractions. Many mixed-use campgrounds accommodate both weekend visitors and seasonal campers, with varying degrees of space between sites. Campground roads and site layouts generally accommodate larger RVs, though some state park facilities have more limited infrastructure for big rigs.
"The staff was positive and helpful and that made a difference for me. I traditionally dry camp or go for semi hooked up on purpose, I just like the quieter camping."
"Driving around this place is definitely not a typical campground but more of a luxury camp because of all of the amenities. That being said it was very nice and felt safe."

GuideWe stayed at site 81, it was near the entrance and right on the pond! The sites were spacious, so it was easy to maneuver our 21 ft travel trailer. The camp bathrooms were across from our site, they weren’t terrible but could use a bit of cleaning!
ScoutIt was a hot one! The pool was crowded but that’s to be expected when it was 96 for three days. Clean, fun, and friendly. My son said it was the best campground so far.
GuideFort Getty campground was in an incredible location to Jamestown and with many things to do in the park itself. The tent sites are open field style and some groups can get big so be ready for that. We had tent site 6 and it was tucked back in its own little area which was an awesome surprise. Overall we had a quick stay and everyone we encountered was friendly, bathrooms are older but a short walk from tent area. The access the Jamestown and the surrounding areas and views is what makes this place totally worth it!
TravelerDue to the heat wave, I opted not to spend the night, but we did roll through and check out the area. First thing we noticed is how close and open the sites were, with a few exceptions. I attached photos of the more secluded sites I plan to choose next time. Site 49 is what I had reserved and it was large and partially secluded. The bathroom buildings are boarded up across the campground and state park with port o potties in front. I was not eager to check those out… a bucket started feeling like the safer option lol It was quiet but on the more secluded sites, there was ample road noise and you could see the road from some sites. I didn’t get a chance to look for the walkway to the park and river, but I plan to next time. The state park and river nearby was beautiful and quiet and serene with smattering Fourth of July picnics. Overall, I plan to return here when the weather is more cooperative and my car camper is better equipped :)
ScoutLong review from a long-term camper, but if you’re considering staying here, it’s worth the read so you know what you’re paying for. My husband and I have stayed here for the past three years, and this year has been, without question, the worst experience we’ve had. We prepaid for a 6-month stay, expecting a quiet, well-managed campground. Instead, we’ve dealt with inconsistency, poor communication, and management that seems focused on the wrong priorities. Before the campground was even fully open, we came to prepare our camper because there were already other campers on the property. While we were there, a woman repeatedly followed us around and watched us before finally approaching us. Rather than treating us like returning guests who have stayed here for years, we were made to feel like we didn’t belong and were questioned as if we were trespassing or trying to live here for free. Ironically, people who don’t even pay to stay here regularly park on the property to use the lake without anyone questioning them. Apparently, paying customers receive more scrutiny than people who aren’t customers at all. Because of that interaction, we were told we couldn’t return for weeks. When we were finally allowed back, our electricity hadn’t even been turned on, and we had to wait while no one seemed particularly concerned about getting it working. Then, completely out of the blue, we were told we had a past-due balance that had supposedly existed all along. At no point were we ever notified. No phone call. No email. No letter. No conversation. Yet somehow we were expected to fix a problem we didn’t even know existed. Meanwhile, the issues that actually affect paying guests continue to be ignored. On weekends and almost every holiday, large groups takes over the campground with 20+ tents, blasting music well into the night and early morning with absolutely no respect for the people who actually pay to stay here. They spread out wherever they want, take over common areas, and even park in front of occupied campsites to the point that we’ve had trouble getting into our own site. Even worse, people were plugging into our electrical service without permission, causing our camper to repeatedly short circuit. We eventually had to install a lock on our own electrical box because management did nothing to stop it after it was brought to their attention. That’s what makes this so frustrating. Management seems incredibly quick to police long-term residents over minor issues, yet has no problem looking the other way while other people take over the campground, block campsites, disturb everyone around them, use utilities they aren’t paying for, damage property, and ignore every basic campground rule. The former management understood that people who spend thousands of dollars to stay here deserve a safe, enjoyable, and well-managed campground. Rules were enforced. Problems were addressed. Paying guests mattered. Now it feels like the people causing the problems face no consequences, while the people paying to be here are the ones expected to tolerate them. I also wouldn’t recommend this campground for families. The“playground” looks like it hasn’t been properly maintained in a very long time and honestly looks like it could earn a child a tetanus shot instead of a fun afternoon. The basketball hoop has been broken, and the laundry area is tucked behind some of the dirtiest bathrooms on the property, surrounded by overgrown grass. None of it reflects the kind of campground this used to be. It’s disappointing because this campground had so much potential and used to be a place we genuinely enjoyed returning to every year. Unfortunately, poor management and a complete lack of consistency have changed that. If you are looking for a campground, there are way better options in the surrounding area with better amenities and better people.
ScoutI have 4 kids, 8 and under and they had an absolute blast. We will definitely be back.
TravelerPublished rules are can only be here for 30 days with a three week extension possible. The fact is at least half of the spaces are occupied by full time residents with one resident stating she has been here for two years. The airfield noise is excessive during the day. The airfield closes at 11 PM so at least it is not all night long. We booked a pull through and they wanted to put us in a small back in site with shared utilities. I put my foot down and was given a pull through. On a positive note, the bath house is clean and the laundry room is not over priced
TravelerWhen we arrived at our site we were instantly greeted with an angry resident. He started shooing us away as we were trying to park our camper at our site. He needed to back out and leave but we had only been there no more than 3 minutes before he popped up angrily. There are a lot of long term campers there. Very very unkept campers. Broken down, damaged, some look unlivable. Some may not like the dozens of cats everywhere, but I did. It’s fun to spot a new cat roaming around the campground. The pool is nice and clean. The playground is cute. The Arcade is not worth going to. A lot of the games were broken or empty. Bikes are NOT allowed. My 8 year old son was riding his bike and we were told he couldn’t do that at this campground. The pond/beach area is beautiful. You can try fishing in it. We didn’t catch anything. I definitely don’t suggest swimming in it. It’s not clean enough for that. Camp “store” is very minimal in what they have. Mostly little candy and some minor essentials. There is also a little restaurant attached to the camp store. I like that the sites were grass and not dirt. Or site did not have sewer. We had to go to the dump station to empty black water.
LegendWe stayed here a number of years ago when it was Milleville Ponds Campground and what an improvement! The park is really clean, well mowed, well-packed gravel roads and camping pads. No problem for big-rigs. There are some seasonals but their sites were tidy. About half the campsites are in the woods and half in the open. There are some deluxe sites with paved patios and nicer fire pits but they are really close together and no shade. We really liked our site (#400) which was gravel, long and level. (We would choose 401 if we came back.) The patio had nice grass which our dog loved. The utilities were well-placed and the electric legs were good at 124 volts. I called to see if there was cable tv because there was a connection on our post and was told that some sites had cable. But, when I hooked it up, we didn’t get any channels; however, we got about 60 over-the-air tv channels. Great wifi. Not much for amenities, just a pavilion and playground. There is a public dog park just outside the park that is really big and you can walk a ¼ mile to a hiking trail. There are three airstreams and a 3-bedroom house for rent. The bath house is centrally located. Unfortunately, they are not super close to the tent sites and there is no path through campsites so you either have to walk around or cut through someone’s site. It took us anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to get downtown (depending on traffic). There are few restaurants nearby and a grocery less than ten minutes away. Overall, we liked how clean and well-kept the park was and enjoyed our site. We stayed eight nights with the average nightly cost at $81and would come back if in the area.
Camping opportunities near Cumberland Hill, Rhode Island range from basic tent sites to full-amenity RV destinations within a 30-mile radius. The region sits at the convergence of three states—Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut—creating access to numerous camping options across different state park systems and private facilities. Seasonal operation varies significantly with most sites closing by mid-October, though Holiday Acres Campground remains open year-round.
Hiking trails and fishing ponds: George Washington State Campground offers extensive recreation without leaving the property. "Big open sites, really quiet, great place to relax and hike," notes Kelly F. in her review of George Washington State Campground. The campground features fishing opportunities and hiking trails that begin right at the campsites.
Water activities and beaches: Many campgrounds feature water access for boating, fishing, and swimming. At Massasoit State Park, "The boys had a blast swimming and kayaking at the pond and there was another comfort station right at the water," according to Tara A. in her review of Massasoit State Park Campground. Recently renovated facilities include a swimming area with a beach and modern comfort stations.
Disc golf courses: Several campgrounds offer disc golf as a recreational option. West Thompson Lake Campground provides "hiking trails galore, disk golf, and swimming nearby," as mentioned by Kasie R. from West Thompson Lake Campground. The course is maintained as part of the property and accessible to campers.
Private, wooded sites: Many campers appreciate secluded camping spots. At Bowdish Lake Camping Area, "Our site Blue 111 is spacious with lots of privacy," reports John D. At Bowdish Lake Camping Area, tent sites tend to offer more seclusion than the seasonal RV areas.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds with well-maintained bathhouses receive consistently positive reviews. Nick P. notes about George Washington State Campground: "Sites were well spaced and provided some privacy depending on your site choice. Grounds were well kept, bathrooms were very clean with hot showers (bring quarters, $1.50 for 6mins)."
Strategic location for regional exploration: Campers value sites that provide good access to regional attractions. "We did Boston (caught the train), Salem, mystic seaport, Sturbridge village, plymouth rock, the Mayflower ship, and plymouth plantation spending no more than 1hr and 20 min at the most in the car!!!" reports Donya B. about Circle Campground Farm.
Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds operate from mid-April through October, with limited winter options. Holiday Acres remains open year-round, but with reduced services during winter months.
Reservation requirements: Sites fill quickly during summer weekends and holidays. Booking windows typically open 6-12 months in advance for most campgrounds in the region.
Additional fees and charges: Some campgrounds charge extra for various amenities and services. Richard P. notes about Bowdish Lake: "Then they charged us an additional $75.00 for our truck...an additional $50.00 for having our own kayak...an additional $50.00 for a small dog, $100.00 for large dogs."
Site privacy varies significantly: At Sutton Falls Camping Area, reviews highlight the contrast between different camping areas. Stephanie M. enjoyed the peninsula camping, noting "We were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond." Meanwhile, Henry P. found other areas "hugely crowded with campers and RVs on top of each other with seemingly no privacy or space."
Campgrounds with recreational amenities: Families benefit from choosing sites with built-in activities. "Normandy Farms is so well run I felt like I was in Disneyland's Frontier Land. They offer anything you could want," says Jean T. about this family-focused destination.
Beach and swimming options: Look for campgrounds with dedicated swimming areas for children. Johnny W. from Stateline Campresort & Cabins reports: "We went on a Wednesday for a 5 day 4 night trip with the family...We went to their Oktoberfest that they did on Saturday and that was decorated great and the band and activities were good!"
Playground facilities: Several campgrounds feature playgrounds for younger campers. Lynn F. from Canoe River Campground shares: "I went to this campground every summer as a kid 25 years ago with my family. This was my first summer back and I was so happy to return! Now bringing my children, my 6 year old says it's his favorite campground."
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require additional equipment for leveling. Rick C. from Circle Campground Farm notes: "I was on site 87 and was able to level on the first try. The campground is a little tight with a big rig (40' motorhome pulling a vehicle on a dolly). The sites are a decent size and consist mainly of gravel and grass."
Electrical connections: RVers should verify power quality and availability. Bruce Y. warns about Holiday Acres: "Be very careful when you hook into their power, make sure you have a surge protector!!! We learned the hard way after staying Memorial day weekend...Their corroded 30 amp power melted the connections on both my cords and blew out my power awning."
Entrance and road conditions: Access can be challenging at some campgrounds. Michael K. observes about Holiday Acres Campground: "The entrance/office setup is confusing. If you come in from the West you'll see an entrance, if you pull in you'll then be able to see signs that tell you to go another 1/4 mile to the office to check in. This area doesn't have enough room to make a u-turn unless your rig is pretty small."
