Sun Outdoors Mystic, located 20 miles west in Connecticut, provides spacious RV sites with electric and water connections. "The premium sites have no shade and are a little close to the neighbors. However, they have great paver stone patios and fire pits. They also had a slight downhill slope so it required some extra blocks to level out."

Advance reservations are essential during summer months and fall foliage season when coastal Rhode Island campgrounds fill quickly. Most parks in the region maintain dump stations, though availability varies by location. Cell service fluctuates significantly between campgrounds, with Newport RV Park offering reliable connectivity while more rural locations may have limited coverage. Fishermens Memorial State Park, approximately 15 miles south of Hopkinton, features pull-through sites with electric and water hookups that accommodate larger rigs, though some visitors note leveling challenges on certain sites.

Propane is available at select locations including Aces High RV Park, which one reviewer described as having "clean, well-maintained, and level sites with concrete pads and patios" with utility hookups "in great condition."

    Newport RV Park

    Great location to Newport

    We chose this park due to its location close to downtown Newport (a mere five miles). There is a lot to do in this area and we wanted to spend time sightseeing. The other camping option, which did appeal to us, was Fishermen’s Memorial State Park but it was a good 30-40 minutes away from downtown Newport and required paying bridge tolls so we decided to give Melville Ponds a go. There is another RV park closer to downtown but it seemed more like a parking lot not very appealing. Melville Ponds worked out the best for us because it was adjacent to a county park with wooded hiking trails, a large pond and an off-leash dog park which were very appealing because of our dog.

    The park has over 100 sites and spread out over many acres. Roads are gravel and easy enough any size RV to navigate. Some sites are set beneath large trees in an attractive wooded setting while others are in an open grassy area with pads being both gravel and grass. The park is a mix of seasonal and transient campers. Site types include full hook-up (max 30 amp), water/electric only, dry camping, and a large tent section. There is a dump station located at the entrance to the park and gray water dump stations are spread among sites without sewer. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. The bathrooms and shower house are located in the middle of the park and were very clean. There is a small camp store, large playground, basketball court, and open air covered pavilion with picnic tables.

    We chose a site in the open because the winds were projected to be 40-50 mph while we were there and we did not want falling branches on the coach. Our site (F4) had 30 amp and water. Satellite reception (Dish TV) was good and we were able to get a number of air antenna channels. The section that we were in was very big rig-friendly and one site that can be used as a pull-thru.   

    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. We paid $38/night for water and 30 amp service.

    The park is located within 1/2 mile of restaurants, gas stations, grocery, shopping, and more. Downtown historic Newport is a 10-minute drive away and you are only 35 minutes from Providence.  There is definitely lots to do in Newport and Providence. You can tour 70-room mansions, visit the beach, brush up on tennis history at the International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum, watch boats cruise in and out of a beautiful harbor, shop, eat at fabulous restaurants, and gawk at the charming historic homes. 

    The location of this park was great for what we were doing – not too far from Newport but in a nice quiet section of town. The distance between sites was far enough that you did not feel cramped or on top of your neighbor. The nearby hiking trail was perfect for our dog and while it was just a few miles long, it was great because it was within walking distance and she could swim in the pond. The close proximity of restaurants was an added bonus.

    Douglas Forest RV Resort

    Awesome Campground In The Forest

    We had an incredible stay at Douglas Forest RV Resort! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how peaceful and well-maintained everything was. 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. What really sets this place apart is the location. You’re literally steps away from Douglas State Forest, which made morning hikes and evening strolls absolutely magical. It’s pet-friendly too, and our dog loved the wooded trails and open areas. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the camp store had everything we needed. Even though the recreation area is still being built, the amenities already in place more than made up for it. We’re already planning our next trip for summer when the pool opens! If you’re looking for a relaxing spot that blends nature with convenience, look no further. Douglas Forest RV Resort is a true hidden gem!

    Newport RV Park

    Clean and quiet camping close to downtown

    We stayed in the premium pull through sites here. The whole campground is gorgeous. You’ll notice how clean and quiet it is right when you first arrive. Check in was under a minute; the staff already had everything prepared which made it super simple. The premium sites have no shade and are a little close to the neighbors. However, they have great paver stone patios and fire pits. They also had a slight downhill slope so it required some extra blocks to level out. Overall, the whole place is a great campground. Plenty of hiking within walking distance and a short drive to all local attractions. Plenty of amenities and a modest camp store as well. I’ll be back for sure.

    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.

    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.

    Normandy Farms Campground

    Huge park with lots of amenities and activities

    We planned a brief stop in the Boston area with the intent of seeing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and Normandy Farms appealed to us for various reasons. One reason was the fact that they have dog walkers that will come to your site and take care of your precious pooch while you are away. Not knowing how long we would be away from the campground that service was a great option. As it turned out, we did not need to use this service but for some it would be a great perk if you were going to be gone all day. And with Boston traffic, we can see how that could happen. By the way, the library is well-worth it.

    When you enter Normandy Farms it is more like checking into a hotel than campground complete with a concierge and express check-in. The park is gated and a code is needed to enter and leave giving you a sense of security but I’m not sure it is necessary. Driving in you quickly realize how huge this park is with some 400 RV sites, tent sites, yurts, lean-to’s, safari tents, and cabins. 

    There are plenty of sites to choose from the “premium” full hook-up (50 amp) to basic with just water and electric and many others in between. Both back-in and pull thrus are available as are sites with shade and full sun. Premium sites have paved patios while other sites are gravel. Roads are paved and plenty wide enough for big RV’s to navigate. They offer cable television that yielded nearly 100 channels. Wifi worked well at our site and other places throughout the park. All sites come with a fire pit and picnic table. 

    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. All utilities were well-placed and functioned properly. The site was level. At the time we were there in October the campground was not very busy but we imagine that things get a little crazy when the park is full. 

    There is a really long list of amenities for this campground….four pools (include an indoor heated one), fitness room (with elliptical, treadmills, bikes, machine and free weights), creative arts center, camp store, 20,000 square-foot activities building (with adult only lounge, pool table, arcade, games, wide-screen televisions, sauna, Jacuzzi), restaurant, huge off-leash dog park (you can reserve individual day kennels), BMX bike park, horse shoe pits, baseball diamond, volleyball, fishing pond, shuffleboard, disk golf, and playground, and probably a few more things I missed. During the busy summer months there is a long list of activities ranging from yoga to kids games.

    Normandy Farms is approximately 35 miles from Boston. If you don’t want to drive to the city, you can park at the nearby train or subway station and ride into the city. You are just five miles from Gillette Stadium (home of the New England Patriots) and Patriot Place (a hub for shopping and dining). About a mile from the campground is Foxboro State Park where you will find 20+ miles of hiking trails. Also within a five mile radius are plenty of restaurants, shopping, hardware store, grocery store, and more. 

    Some of the really good features are the huge dog park which has a dog washing station, water fountains for dogs and humans, agility-type obstacles for them to play on, dog kennels, and a bin with balls and Frisbees. I also liked (and used daily) the fitness center which had functioning equipment and a large television to help pass the time while working out – and was never crowded. The large community building has and adult-only lounge which serves as a nice place for people to get together and watch television or hang out without kids. With everything this campground has to offer you can see why it is a destination park for some people as their kids would be busy all day. 

    The downside really is the price and how many sites there are. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway this is not it.

    Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Sturbridge - [CLOSED}

    Pine lake , Sturbridge Ma.

    I’m told that this used to be Jellystone. 

    It’s now called Pine Lake Rv and cottages.

    Not knowing what the previous campground was like I can’t compare. But the new owners surely did a total revamp. There is approximately 30 cottages and many pull through and back in sites for any size RV.

    The bathroom/showers were all new and very nice and clean. It seems to be very family friendly. There’s an 8 acre lake with kayaks and fishing, a basketball court,   a game pavilion and a well stocked store. The RV sites are   spacious and pretty close to near perfect level.

    The problems I came across was there were very few places to dispose of camp trash, I had to actually walk around looking for one. The camp store doesn’t open until 9:00AM and closes at 4:00PM

     If you can, try and NOT stay on the back upper level ( the 700 ) spots. It’s around 100 feet from a very busy road and loud !


Guide to Hopkinton

RV camping near Hopkinton, Rhode Island offers multiple options within a 30-mile radius. The region features coastal plain topography with elevations generally below 500 feet, creating accessible camping conditions throughout most of the year. Weather patterns include humid summer months averaging 80°F and cooler spring/fall seasons that campers often prefer for reduced humidity and temperatures in the 60-70°F range.

What to do

Hiking trails: Newport RV Park in Portsmouth provides access to numerous walking paths adjacent to the campground. "We had a great time relaxing around the campfire with another family. The playground was a hit for our kids!" Several trails connect directly to the park, making it easy to stretch your legs without driving.

Beach access: Waterfront camping spots at Aces High RV Park offer scenic lake views about 30 miles from Hopkinton. "Beautiful pond and natural setting with lots of ducks, geese, chickens, and wild birds," notes one camper. The park also maintains a creek area specifically for dog swimming.

Historic sites: The Mystic area, approximately 20 miles west of Hopkinton, provides numerous cultural attractions. "One day we launched our kayaks north of the drawbridge in town at the public launch and paddled down to Mystic Seaport which was fun to see the historic boats from the water," shares one visitor who stayed at Newport RV Park.

What campers like

Natural settings: Despite limited tree coverage at some sites, campers appreciate the well-maintained grounds at Melville Ponds Campground. "The whole campground is gorgeous. You'll notice how clean and quiet it is right when you first arrive," reports one reviewer. The campground's proximity to hiking trails allows for convenient nature access.

Dog-friendly areas: Several parks offer designated spaces 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," says one camper about Melville Ponds Campground.

Concrete pads: Level surfaces rank highly in camper preferences. At Countryside RV Park in Griswold, CT, about 25 miles from Hopkinton, campers note the "beautiful, family owned & run, quiet, large sites" which contribute to a comfortable stay. Similarly, Aces High RV Park earns praise for "level concrete pad and patio" with "utility hookups in great condition."

What you should know

Site spacing varies: While some parks offer spacious sites, others position RVs closely together. "The sites are VERY close, but the people are nice and we had a great stay," notes one camper about Ashaway RV Resort in Bradford. Request specific areas if space is important.

Cell service limitations: Internet connectivity can be challenging at certain campgrounds. At Thousand Trails Sturbridge, about 45 miles from Hopkinton, "cell reception is not great. Camp link Wifi for a fee is workable unless you need to do zoom calls."

Limited amenities at some locations: Facilities vary significantly between parks. Meadowlark RV Park has "no amenities such as shower or toilets" according to one reviewer, while Newport RV Park features clean bathrooms with piped-in music.

Seasonal operations: Many campgrounds in the region operate on limited schedules. Timber Creek RV Campground in Westerly runs from May through mid-October, making advance planning essential for off-season visits.

Tips for camping with families

Off-leash dog areas: Sun Outdoors Mystic features "a nice tent section that has a number of nice sites" that accommodate families with pets. "The campground was very clean and well taken care of," reports one family who visited in spring.

Recreation options: Multiple parks offer family-friendly amenities. "My kids enjoyed playing tennis & swimming in the pool at the campground - there is also mini-golf, but we didn't get the chance to play," shares a visitor to Ashaway RV Resort, noting it serves as a good "home-base" for exploring the area.

Beach proximity: For families wanting coastal experiences, Aces High RV Park places campers "30 min to Foxwoods Casino" and near water activities. "Local kayaking areas and about 30 min to Foxwoods Casino, even closer to Mohegan Sun. Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium are also not too far," notes a reviewer.

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: Carr Point Recreation Facility offers six spots with water and electric hookups. The campground has "nice, well separated sites" but requires planning for leveling at some locations. Similarly, at Newport RV Park, campers note "the premium sites have a slight downhill slope so it required some extra blocks to level out."

Dump station access: Not all parks offer on-site sewer connections. "There's a campground not too far with a dump station for $20," notes a Carr Point visitor. Similarly, Newport RV Park operates a dump station near the entrance for those without full hookups.

Seasonal considerations: "We stayed for the Newport folk fest in 2021 and although expensive because you have to stay four days it was worth it," mentions a Newport RV Park visitor, highlighting how special events affect pricing and availability. Advance bookings become particularly important during festival periods.
