    Across Rhode Island and neighboring areas, rustic cabin rentals are available at George Washington State Campground and Burlingame State Park Campground. These cabins provide simple, rustic accommodations with basic amenities. The rustic cabins at Burlingame offer two sets of bunks without mattresses, a small porch with a picnic table, and fire rings outside. "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," one camper shared. George Washington Campground features similar cabin setups with electric hookups and fires allowed on site.

    While some locations operate year-round, others like Burlingame State Park are seasonal, opening from mid-April through October. Reservations for cabins are essential, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Many campgrounds allow pets in cabin accommodations, including Holiday Acres Campground and Dyer Woods Nudist Campground, both offering cabin rentals that accommodate pets. Cabin options near Providence include both rustic, no-frills structures and more furnished accommodations. A visitor commented about Mystic KOA, located about an hour from Providence: "We 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."

    Most rustic cabins provide only the basic structure and require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and other comfort items. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire pits while others provide indoor kitchenettes. Stateline Campresort & Cabins and Boston/Cape Cod KOA feature cabins with more amenities, though specific furnishings should be confirmed when booking. Many locations have on-site stores selling essential supplies and firewood. For cabins without electricity or running water, campers should pack accordingly with battery-powered lights, water containers, and appropriate food storage options.

      Normandy Farms Campground

      Best Campground in the Northeast!

      I can understand why this place is rated one of the best campgrounds in the country. This was my first time camping here with my own RV and it did not disappoint. Our site was spacious, and centrally located within the campground, they have all the amenities you can imagine living up to that “resort” title. Ranging from multiple pools, hot tubs, courts, pavilions, playgrounds, etc. the cell service was great, they offer WiFi, and much more. I love the store, it gives off that Great Wolf Lodge feel, and it has everything inside you may need. Including a little hidden café that surprisingly made good lattes. This place is massive, and I’ve never seen a campground that had as many million dollar RV’s in one place. That atmosphere is just great here. There is so much to do. It’s so big you need an e-bike just to get around. Resort-style campgrounds like this come at a steeper price compared to others, but in my opinion, Normandy was well worth the cost. We look forward to revisiting, often!

      Burlingame State Park Campground

      Real camping

      Sites are rocky and not the most level. Fairly private. No water elec or sewer @ sites. Water spigot spread throughout the park. 2 nice sewer dumps. 1 in the middle of the park and 1 on your way out. Decent beaches. Pretty nice playground. Horrible arcade. The camp store is awesome. Everything you need. They are doing alot of work updating the park and it shows. New bath houses are really nice. We have gone 3 times this year. Good family campground

      Lovely and peaceful

      We came in the day after Labor Day ~ after 280 rv’s checked out ~ so it may not have been as peaceful over the weekend, but I heard everyone had lots of fun. The grounds are beautiful!

      Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

      Just like we remembered

      Great family campground.  The place is very clean.  NIce to have both indoor and outdoor showers.  The store has plenty of useful items. Staff is friendly and helpful.  They have lots of activities and concerts for families.  The drive around in a golf cart in the evenings checking on campers and making sure everyone is abiding by the quiet hours. We stayed in a one room cabin with confortable beds.

      Strawberry Park Resort Campground

      They will steal your money!

      Do not go here! Worst customer service i have ever experienced. I booked online through expedia. Paid in full for a cabin. They took my money no problem. Then emailed me the cabin was not available and to contact them, off site, to get a different camp site. One i didn't want or even ask for. It all sounded sketchy to me so I told them to just refund the money to me and I'll go somewhere else. The person emailing me instead of refunding the money told me to contact the office to get a new site. I responded with I would just like a refund please. They ghosted me. So I call the site to get my money, which is not a small amount remind you close to$500, and the first person I talk to hangs up on me before I can say anything. The second person starts blaming me for booking through expedia and not them. Because there inability to use third party websites is my fault? After all that the apparently only person able to give refunds conveniently isn't there but would call me back. Was told I would definitely get my money back... suprise they never called. Luckily expedia has protection and I can get my money back through them. Save yourself a headache and stay away! If the whole place is run by the people booking I would fear for my children going there

      Burlingame State Park Campground

      Overall good place for family

      Good family park. Many new amenities. Bathhouse parks. The arcade is horrible. Dumping stations nicely set up. Campsites are ok. Ours was uneven with really large routes.

      River Bend Campground

      Too close too old

      We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and they did seem have alot going on. It was Christmas in July. There was a live band and a few food trucks. The campsites are onto of each. Way too close for us. The roads that lead to the sites are way to narrow. I tow a 27ft travel trailer and my tires were off the road on both sides. The campsite itself was nice. No complaints there. Pool was gross. Mini golf was horrible. All the wood was rotted. We won't be back.

      Brialee Family Campground

      Great for kids

      My kids had a blast. Many activities and plenty to do. Only down side was there being not service, which stinks when you use the app to follow along with activities and updates.

      Pine Acres Family Camping Resort

      4th of July weekend

      It 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.

    What to do

    Swimming areas: While not all water bodies permit swimming, Burlingame State Park Campground provides a designated swimming area. "Swim in the pond. Fish in the pond (catch and release). Bike. Hike. Hammock," suggests a regular visitor.

    What campers like

A George Washington State Campground visitor reports, "Sites were well spaced and provided some privacy depending on your site choice. Grounds were well kept, bathrooms were very clean with hot showers."

    Clean facilities: Many cabin campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms. At George Washington State Campground, one reviewer noted, "The new bathrooms are great! Lots of things to do in the area as well. Great food nearby."

    What you should know

    Site selection matters: At larger campgrounds, location can significantly impact experience. For Burlingame State Park, a camper advises: "If you want a good visit do not stay down by the lake!!!"

    Hot water requirements: Shower facilities often require payment. At George Washington State Campground, "bathrooms were very clean with hot showers (bring quarters, $1.50 for 6mins)."

    Tips from RVers

    Electric hookups: For those bringing RVs with cabins as overflow housing, electrical capacity varies. "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," reports a Normandy Farms visitor.

    Protection equipment: Electrical systems at some campgrounds require safeguards. At Boston/Cape Cod KOA, a camper recommends: "I have learned that you really need to upgrade to the better campsites to enjoy your stay."
