    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.

    Charlie Brown Campground

    Well run Campground

    WE come here every year with our group, RVing Women Northeast Network for our first rally of the season each year for a number of years,  The reason we come back is the way we are treated, because they have pavilions that have a campfires pit and the roof is made so it takes the smoke straight up out of the pavilion yet is protective of those under the roof from rain etc.  VERY enjoyable.  We all park around this Pavillon.  IT is well kept, kids are entertained by parents and fishing etc.  Parties are present but they have quiet hour and it seems to be obeyed.

    Sutton Falls Camping Area

    Georgous, private camping along pristine Aldrich Mill Pond

    We were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond, and serving as a wonderful halfway rest/respite on the journey from NYC to Belfast, ME. We felt like we were on top of the world, discovering this perfect quiet nook and basking in nature’s splendor.

    I can only speak for the camping on this peninsula/land, but the rest of the sites looked cozy, family-friendly, and fun. Cabins and RV sites across the lake, along with beaches for swimming. Bathrooms located on P1 peninsula. Canoe rentals on-site. Lovely picnic dining area alongside covered bridge and waterfall. Completely picturesque and, mostly, totally peaceful!

    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

    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.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    Noisiest Campground

    I’ve been camping for over twenty years and this campground is by far the noisiest campground I have ever been to. If you are looking for any sort of peace and quiet this is NOT the place for you. The first night we were here it sounded like a massive stadium tailgate party. There was music, yelling, and voices coming from everywhere. It does die down as it gets closer to quiet hours but that’s at 11 pm and fires need to be out at midnight. So there is no sitting around the camp fire in the evening, listening to the crickets, they are drowned out by people noise. The second night wasn’t much better. The campground itself is well maintained and seems to really cater to large extended families and groups which is nice to see. There are a lot of sites here and they are very close together so there is little privacy. But the sites are paved for your camper, have nice fire pits and a picnic table. The hookups are good too. The staff is very friendly. They don’t seem to enforce many rules. A lot of unsupervised kids on bikes (we saw two different kids on different occasions who were lost),very little mask wearing, sites with way more people on them then there was suppose to be, lots of kids without helmets, constantly barking dogs. The place is definitely dog and kid friendly. It is near so many beaches and things to do and downtown Falmouth is really cute. It’s a good campground for a place to parking your camper and go off and do things, but if your looking for some privacy and quiet, this isn’t the place to go. We won’t be coming back here.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    Good Campground, Great Location

    This campground was recently bought by Sun RV so there already some changes happening- the arcade room is closed and being remodeled and they now allow you to use your own boat (non motor) on the pond which is a definite improvement. Mini golf and the pools are nothing special. We have camped here every summer for 4 years in a “glamp” site which is large with fire pit. The staff has always been friendly and we even projected a movie 4th of July outdoors with no issue. That being said, we use this mostly as a location to do other things- Old Silver Beach is 10 minutes down the road as is the Shining Sea Bike path. Downtown Falmouth is 10 minutes away as well where you have great restaurants, shops and the ferry to the islands.

Guide to Narragansett Pier

Burlingame State Park encompasses over 3,000 acres of woodland in Charlestown, approximately 9 miles from Narragansett Pier. The park features a freshwater pond and maintains over 700 camping sites, making it one of Rhode Island's largest camping facilities. Surrounding areas offer a mix of seasonal accommodations ranging from rustic tent sites to luxury glamping options with varying levels of amenities.

What to Do

Biking through wooded trails: Burlingame State Park provides extensive cycling opportunities with miles of wooded paths. "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 Jessica A., highlighting the accessibility of multiple recreation options.

Fishing at multiple locations: Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy freshwater angling at Burlingame's pond or visit nearby waterways. "We tubed down river, fished the pond, swam in the pool, did the hay ride, even attended the dance at night," shares Erik M. from Hidden Acres Family Campground, describing the variety of water-based activities available.

Explore local beaches: Rocky Neck State Park Campground offers seaside camping with easy beach access. "Beach is a short drive on site and the showers were one site over. I had a great time," reports Carli V., noting the convenience of combining camping with beach activities.

What Campers Like

Large wooded sites: Many campers appreciate the spacious nature of sites at Burlingame. "Hundreds of sites, some level some not, some dirt sites, some grassy, some with a ton of shade, some out in the open, excellent for bikes," describes Andrew P., providing specific details about site variations.

Well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness is frequently mentioned in positive reviews. "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)," reports Nick P. from George Washington State Campground, offering practical information about shower costs.

Proximity to attractions: The convenient location near multiple points of interest is a common highlight. "Easy access to Boston, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Plymouth, Newport, and many more attractions," explains Kirk S., emphasizing the strategic position for regional exploration.

What You Should Know

Size and crowds: Burlingame's large size means navigating the campground can be challenging. "It's mass camping," notes Sebastien R., while another camper adds, "Gates at check in can take some time, as well as finding your site." Planning extra time for arrival is recommended.

Bathroom conditions vary: Facilities at some campgrounds may become overwhelmed during peak times. Jessica A. warns, "Bath houses are usually pretty filthy, and that's because there are too many people per bath house, and people are gross." Bringing cleaning supplies is advised.

Site selection matters: Choosing the right location within campgrounds significantly impacts experience. "If you want a good visit do not stay down by the lake!!!" advises David M., suggesting that waterfront sites may not always provide the best camping experience.

Tips for Camping with Families

Activities for children: Family-oriented campgrounds offer structured entertainment. "The activities for kids is the draw for this campground for sure. My kids loved the train rides, movie night, flash light candy hunt, and arts and crafts," shares Amy G. from Boston/Cape Cod KOA, detailing specific children's programming.

Pool options: Swimming facilities provide recreation beyond natural water features. "The pool is very popular but there are plenty of other things for kids to do like mini golf, a fishing pond, outdoor cinema, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, hay rides, and lots of planned daily activities," explains Nancy W., listing multiple entertainment options.

Budget considerations: Cost varies significantly between public and private campgrounds. "Very affordable (around $14 per night). We stayed near the camp store and playground. Lots to do with kids including fishing, game room, and hiking," reports Cendy G., noting budget-friendly options for families.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for large rigs: Finding appropriate spaces for larger recreational vehicles requires planning. "Site was wide and allowed me to easily back in. Near perfect level. New fence poles show renovations were consistently done. Two easy dump stations with nice clean area," reports Michael C. from Strawberry Park, providing specific details relevant to RV campers.

Hookup availability: Utility connections vary significantly between campgrounds. "Some sites have sewer water and electric and some no sewer but there are dump stations around the campground," explains SANDIE B., offering practical information about facility distribution.

Seasonal considerations: Weather and timing affect RV camping experiences. "No hook-ups, lol. This is a con in the heat of the summer if you want/need AC," warns Jessica A., highlighting potential climate-related challenges for RV campers without electrical connections.
