Best Cabin Camping near Hope Valley, RI

446 Reviews

Several campgrounds near Hope Valley, Rhode Island offer rustic cabin rentals with varying amenities. Whispering Pines Campground, located directly in Hope Valley, provides cabin accommodations among its 210 sites, operating from April 15 to October 15. Burlingame State Park Campground in nearby Charlestown features 20 rustic cabins with basic furnishings. According to one visitor, "These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside. Some are located along the pond." The Giddyup Getaway at The River Haven Sanctuary offers private cabins with access to drinking water, showers, and toilets. Most cabins in the region include fire pits, picnic tables, and access to shared bathhouse facilities.

Cabin types range from basic forest cabins to more furnished options depending on the location. Mystic KOA in North Stonington, Connecticut, approximately 15 minutes from Hope Valley, offers deluxe cabin rentals with more amenities. One guest noted their deluxe cabin was "cute and clean and furnished with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, Keurig coffee maker/pods, and full-sized fridge." Most state park cabins are more primitive, featuring bunk beds without mattresses and minimal furnishings. Pet-friendly cabin options exist at several locations including Whispering Pines and Ashaway RV Resort. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when cabin rentals fill quickly. Pricing varies significantly between state parks and private resorts, with Rhode Island residents receiving discounted rates at state facilities.

Most rustic cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, mattress pads, cooking equipment, and food supplies. Deluxe cabins typically include more amenities but still require personal items. Camp stores at larger facilities like Burlingame State Park offer basic provisions, while smaller campgrounds may have limited or no on-site shopping options. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, though some visitors recommend bringing cooking grates for fire rings if planning to cook outdoors. The nearest full grocery stores are located in Westerly and Charlestown. Cabin campers should also pack flashlights, insect repellent, and appropriate seasonal clothing, as most basic cabins lack climate control systems.

    Burlingame State Park Campground

    Huge campground, not many level sites.

    I've never camped in Rhode Island, so I was curious to see what a state park campground had to offer. Rates are reasonable for state residents, but quite high if you are out-of-state, given the amenities. There are no hookups, but dump stations are available. Bathrooms have flush toilets and coin-operated showers. There's a small beach at the pond, a boat ramp, and proximity to wildlife refuges and the ocean. It's a HUGE campground, with 700 sites and 20 cabins. Canoes are available to rent.

    There's a nice playground, a camp store, and a naturalists cabin. Trails are available for hiking and biking. The beach is sandy and there's a small parking lot there, but I suspect most people walk to it. No alcohol allowed. 

    I didn't see more than a handful of level sites, with varying degrees of slope, but many are quite large. If you have an RV, plan to level; if you have a tent, be sure to bring good mattresses to protect you from the roots and rocks and orient your head to the uphill side. Most of the sites have some degree of visual separation from their neighbors, but there are places where it's hard to tell where one site ends and the next one starts. Site have fire rings and picnic tables, but if you plan to cook over the fire, bring your own grate or plan to use sticks and/or aluminum foil. 

    If you don't have a tent, consider reserving one of their rustic cabins. These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside. Some are located along the pond.

    3-4 bar cell phone coverage. No road traffic. East Beach is nearby, but parking fills early.

    Mystic KOA

    Awesome Sunsets at the Mystic KOA

    Didn’t quite feel like camping, but it was still a lovely weekend away at the Mystic KOA. We decided to head down to check out the aquarium and stayed at a deluxe cabin. It was cute and clean and furnished with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, keurig coffee maker/pods, and full-sized fridge. Only complaint was an odd, musty smell we couldn’t quite figure out.

    The grounds are large with vast amounts of space. Be forewarned that it’s right off of 95, and the sound definitely carries. Trees are sparse in areas, but the sunsets were a nice trade off. Amenities seemed nice from what we could tell - cool outdoor movie screen, pools and playground, though we certainly didn’t get to enjoy these things in February.

    Mystic KOA

    Great campground for coastal CT & RI

    We stayed at Mystic KOA in North Stonington, Connecticut, to be tourists in Mystic. Spoiler alert… we had a great stay! 

    This campground is just 15-minutes from Mystic and about an hour’s drive to Newport, Rhode Island. It’s just a few minutes from I-95 and so close to Mystic Aquarium, downtown Mystic, Mystic Seaport, and all the local spots. 

    It’s a well-maintained campground with 2 pools(though the larger one was closed for maintenance during our stay), lots of play areas and daily activities for little ones, and a cool“pub truck” for adult drinks. Our site(#408) was about 85’ long with plenty of room for our 45’ motorhome and toad(and then some!). It was level and gravel with a nice fire ring and picnic table. The hookups worked fine with 50-amp electric and decent water pressure. Cable TV had nearly 50-channels, but the wi-fi didn’t quite reach our part of the park. 

    Due to a family issue, we needed to leave about a day-and-a-half early. We called the office as a courtesy to let them know as we were pulling out and received a partial credit for a night’s stay on our credit card. Didn’t even ask, they just did it. Thanks Mystic KOA! 

    We’ll definitely be back. This is a great place to stay when visiting the coastal Connecticut/Rhode Island area.

    Getaway Machimoodus

    First Time Glamper!

    Getaway is fabulous! My first glamping experience was a winner! Machimoodus is one of the newest outposts just outside Boston and NYC. My bf and I went during one of the snowiest weekends all winter, but it was completely worth it!

    First of all, the huge picture window in the cabin is AMAZING. It is just so rejuvenating waking up to freshly fallen snow on the trees - corny I know, but 100% accurate. The cabin was beautiful and rustic, and outfitted with cookware, dishes, a Bluetooth capable radio, essentials like coffee for purchase, books and a shovel for the snow.

    Since the outpost was new, the fire pit was brand new, and despite the snow, we were able to cook on it. Very easy to use.

    Only critiques would be the lackluster water pressure in the shower and how icy the walkway leading up from the driveway got in the cold weather. The water pressure was a small price to pay, however, and the icy walkway is resolved easily enough wearing micro-spikes.

    I can’t recommend enough. It can be a pricy excursion, but the outposts are established in very beautiful settings. I cannot wait to check out more!

    Mystic KOA

    Wasp Breeding Ground!

    Pros: Helpful staff, morning garbage pickup, excellent laundry facility, plenty of activities and amenities for children. Cons: Wasps!! Wasps everywhere!! We did our best to keep them at bay by lighting some sage but they were persistent. Not much privacy back in the tent/cabin areas, camp sites very close together and people have the ability to stare right into your site.

    Rocky Neck State Park Campground

    Shady Spot walking distance from Beach

    I’ve lived in CT all my life but never used the Rocky Neck State Park Campground until now.

    The campgrounds are named after water fowl: Crane, Egret, Osprey, Heron etc...We stayed in Egret. We camped at site #4 (sunny) then moved to #38 (shady).

    Both spots were quiet, music low and people minded their business. Equal mix of RVs big and small as well as many tents.

    Bathhouses and toilets were not as cleaned as I would have liked but passable. Coronavirus social distancing required.

    Sites include one paved parking spot (ours was very muddy) a fire pit and a picnic table. No water or electric hookup. Wi-fi not available at this campground. Fire wood is sold at camp office. There is no store in park - no ice either.

    A lot of you children. Short walk to Rock Neck beach. Nature Center has movies on weekends for kids.

    Anyone with kayaks can’t easily get to boat launch. It’s 4-5 miles by car at 4 mile river boat launch. See photos.

    Hammonasset State Park Campground

    large family friendly campground with beach access

    Hammonasset Beach State Park Campground is huge, family-friendly, and has direct beach access from the campground. There is no lifeguard on duty at the campground beach but lifeguards patrol the beach a mile or so north within the park. Smaller (car-top) boats can be launched from this area as well.

    The campsites do NOT include a fire pit (or grill). You must bring your own or there are fire tub rentals available at the campground store.

    The park includes a Nature Center complete with exhibits and activities, and hiking trails. Bald eagles can be seen on the nature reserve.

    Expect long lines at the state park entrance fee station on the weekend if the weather is nice.

Guide to Hope Valley

Cabin accommodations near Hope Valley, Rhode Island range from rustic forest shelters to more equipped options within a 20-mile radius. The area sits at approximately 400 feet above sea level in Washington County, characterized by wooded terrain punctuated by small ponds and streams. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-85°F with higher humidity levels, while spring and fall camping offers more moderate conditions with cooler nights.

What to do

Fishing at nearby ponds: Burlingame State Park Campground provides access to fishing opportunities with a pond that supports catch-and-release fishing. According to one visitor, "Fishing in the pond (catch and release). Bike. Hike. Hammock. Avoid holiday weekends and the heat of August if you can."

Water activities: The pond at Burlingame State Park Campground offers swimming during summer months. "Lovely location - it's in the middle of the woods, has a pond, has pond swimming. It's just minutes to the ocean by car. Hiking and biking for miles," notes one camper.

Biking through wooded trails: Several campgrounds in the area feature biking trails. At Whispering Pines Campground, the pine-covered landscape provides shaded riding opportunities. One reviewer appreciated that "There are pine trees everywhere in the park, so the owners don't cut down a lot of trees which makes it feel like a real campground and not a field of peoples RV's."

What campers like

Well-stocked camp stores: Several campgrounds maintain on-site stores with essentials. At Burlingame State Park Campground, "Camp store - well stocked," reported one camper. Another noted it "literally has anything you would need."

Family recreation areas: Many campgrounds offer dedicated recreational facilities. Whispering Pines provides "a splash pad and pool, rec hall, a cute little store with fun things for the kids, and good humor bars- which we loved since the snack bar was only open on weekends."

Waterfront camping options: Some locations feature direct water access from select sites. Hopeville Pond State Park Campground offers specialized tent sites with water access: "These are tent only. You park and walk about 100 yards to the site. There are only four sites in this secluded section of the campground. Sites CN02, CN03 and CN04 have direct waterfront on the pond."

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Most cabin rentals in the area operate on limited schedules. Whispering Pines Campground runs from April 15 to October 15, with many amenities unavailable early in the season. One visitor noted, "I believe we camped there too early in the season to fully enjoy the grounds. The pool, splash pad, and nearly everything else was non operational or locked up still."

Bathroom conditions vary: Facilities range widely between campgrounds and can be affected by visitor volume. At Burlingame, a camper observed, "Bath houses - are usually pretty filthy, and that's because there are too many people per bath house, and people are gross."

Weekends versus weekdays: Visitation patterns affect the camping experience. "Do not come on a holiday weekend, it's packed," warns one Burlingame camper. Another emphasized, "Avoid holiday weekends and the heat of August if you can."

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning for rainy days: Some campgrounds offer indoor options for inclement weather. At Strawberry Park, "When my family went here it poured! And we were thankful that there were so many things to do, painting ceramics, karaoke, an arcade (at the time it had DDR which was all the rage). It is close by to some nice shopping areas as well."

Youth recreation options: Seek out campgrounds with dedicated kids' facilities. Whispering Pines offers "a splash pad and pool... and a small train ride around the park."

Beach access considerations: When planning beach trips from campgrounds, prepare for after-effects. One Burlingame visitor noted, "Bathrooms are usually always busy, and are pretty dirty from people coming back from the beach. SAND EVERYWHERE!"

Tips for RVers

Site selection strategy: RV sites vary significantly in size and privacy. At Mystic KOA, "Our site (Q15) was all grass which was fine with us because the grass was nice and thick. There was no defined pad, instead just hookups to back in next to so you have lots of flexibility as to how you park."

Park navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult access roads for larger rigs. At Nature's Campsites, one visitor noted the "Bathrooms are new and very clean" but mentioned the campground layout requires navigating with care.

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. When staying at Mystic KOA, a camper observed, "You can hear the highway very well at night, particularly in the safari field."
