    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    The coastal region surrounding Wakefield, Rhode Island provides several established campgrounds supporting different camping styles. Fishermens Memorial State Park Campground in Narragansett sits approximately 5 miles east of Wakefield, offering tent and RV sites with various hookup options. Burlingame State Park Campground in Charlestown, about 10 miles west of Wakefield, features tent camping, RV sites, cabins, and glamping accommodations. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, with the majority open from April through October, particularly along the coastline.

    Seasonal considerations strongly influence camping availability throughout the region. Many campgrounds require advance reservations, especially for summer weekends when coastal sites fill quickly. Fishermens Memorial State Park has full-hookup sites with water, electric and sewer connections, while primitive tent-only areas are available in designated sections. Local campgrounds are searchable through The Dyrt's listings. The proximity to beaches and coastal attractions makes these campgrounds popular during peak summer months. "Lots of nearby beaches and restaurants. Campsites are simple. A patch of grass with a small bush or two, not very much shade, space or privacy. Tent sites do not have water or electricity but bathhouse is in easy walking range."

    Campers report high satisfaction with coastal proximity and clean facilities at Fishermens Memorial State Park. The campground is approximately one mile from Narragansett beaches and provides convenient access to the Block Island ferry. While sites offer varying levels of privacy, visitors consistently mention the well-maintained grounds and bathhouse facilities. Road noise can be noticeable at sites closer to main roads. Several visitors highlighted the campground's location as ideal for exploring coastal attractions, with one noting it as "A nice place to ride a bike around so definitely bring your bike." Wordens Pond Family Campground in South Kingstown receives positive reviews for its peaceful setting near freshwater, offering an alternative to oceanfront camping. Most established campgrounds in the region provide standard amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and access to water.

      Gibson Hill RV Park

      Like Our Summer Home Base

      This is our first season keeping our camper here, and we’ve really enjoyed settling into the campground. Our site has plenty of trees around it, and it feels like we’re actually getting away even though we can easily come and go throughout the summer. We’ve met a lot of friendly people, enjoyed the live entertainment, and spent plenty of evenings just sitting around the fire. It has been a really comfortable place to make our summer home base.

      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.

      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.

      Great for kids

    Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from April through October, with limited winter availability.
