    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.

    Charge Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest

    Camping, biking and kayaking

    Over Memorial Day weekend, we camped at Myles Standish. We were in the Charged Pond area, in loop F. The campground doesn't have hook ups, but there is a dump station with water and water available around the loops. The lower part of the camp ground is set up in different loops. While this is a large campground, it didn't feel that large as the loop probably had 50 sites. Our site was wooded and pretty private for a state campground. We had plenty of room and the site had a fire pit and picnic table. Each loop has one bathhouse. Ours, unfortunately, did not have hot water. We were told if we wanted it, we could go to any of the other loops. The bathrooms had two showers and three stalls, two sinks. There were at least three outlets in the women's room which was convenient for a quick cell phone charge. 

    The check in process was a little challenging. We arrived later in the day and had hoped to get our pop up set up by dark, but the check in process took almost 30 mins between waiting in line and a VERY slow attendant. He was more worried about my out of state phone number than getting us checked in. He also kept trying to put us in a different section of the campground. I finally pulled up my reservation to show him that I was in the Charged Pond area. 

    Our daughters rate campgrounds by their bathrooms. I was pleasantly surprised that they received at least one cleaning during our time there. But regardless, the bathrooms weren't that clean. It wasn't the worst bathroom (thanks Yosemite for setting that standard), but it could have been a little more attended to. It scored a - "not so bad that we'd never come back" rating from the girls. 

    The bike trails through the part are great and we enjoyed them. Paved and mountain bike trails. The map they give you at check in isn't very good - hard to read and a little blurry. We picked up a nice printed, folded map at the visitor's center in town and it was much nicer and easier to read the trails. Take the map with you as the bike trails were a little confusing.

    We also enjoyed the various kettle ponds. We kayaked one morning and enjoyed watching the people catching good sized fish around us. The beach (at least at Charged Pond) had a nice sandy section and a bathhouse. 

    The town of Plymouth is about a 10 min. drive if you need anything. We never saw a camp store or even a place to get ice. But we didn't look that hard either. 

    I was surprised that it was fairly quite and not busier on a holiday weekend. We felt most people respected quiet hours and there were even empty sites in our loop. 

    We will definitely go back. It was a nice, quick getaway.


Guide to Wakefield

Glamping near Wakefield, Rhode Island offers both coastal and woodland camping experiences within a 20-mile radius of town. The region features a humid continental climate with warm summers averaging 80°F and mild winters, making late spring through early fall ideal for outdoor stays. State parks and private campgrounds in the area provide varying levels of amenities, from primitive tent sites to luxury accommodations with modern conveniences.

What to do

Beach access at Rocky Neck State Park: Located about 40 minutes from Wakefield, this Connecticut park features a sandy beach with designated swimming areas where families can enjoy Long Island Sound. "The campgrounds are named after water fowl: Crane, Egret, Osprey, Heron etc... The location is fantastic, but with this many sites (so, with this many people), there are bound to be pros and cons," notes one camper at Rocky Neck State Park Campground.

Fishing opportunities: George Washington State Campground offers pond fishing just steps from campsites. "My family and I come here twice a season it's quiet it's calm and never crowded. There's fishing and hiking right in the park," says a reviewer at George Washington State Campground.

Tubing and paddling: Several campgrounds offer water recreation on-site. "We tubed down river, fished the pond, swam in the pool, did the hay ride, even attended the dance at night," reports a visitor to Hidden Acres Campground, highlighting the diverse water activities available within a 45-minute drive from Wakefield.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many glamping sites near Wakefield prioritize cleanliness. "Cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a campground," notes a visitor to Sunfox Campground, which is about 35 minutes from Wakefield and offers cabin accommodations with amenities.

Entertainment options: Premium glamping locations offer structured activities. "We had a great time walking the dogs, and we used the dog run several times. The campground is close to Mystic Seaport, which was beautiful," says a camper at Mystic KOA, which provides glamping tents and cabins about 25 minutes from Wakefield.

Privacy levels: Sites vary in seclusion. "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)," according to a George Washington State Campground visitor, describing the state park camping experience.

What you should know

Shower facilities: Most glamping sites near Wakefield have pay showers. "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," explains a Rocky Neck visitor about their experience.

Reservation timing: Popular glamping sites fill quickly in summer months. "We snagged a late reservation over a busy summer weekend so the place was packed. Our site (Q15) was all grass which was fine with us because the grass was nice and thick," notes a visitor to Odetah Camping Resort.

Site variations: Even within the same campground, site quality differs. "If you want a good visit do not stay down by the lake!!!" advises a visitor to Burlingame State Park Campground, suggesting that site selection matters for comfort and experience.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated children's activities. "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. Bathrooms were clean. No electricity at the sites," explains a Burlingame State Park visitor, highlighting the budget-friendly options for families.

Consider seasonal events: Some glamping locations near Wakefield offer themed weekends. "We went two years in a row each on Halloween! They had great amenities and activities for the kids. Plus a costume contest and tricker treating. Very enjoyable time," shares a visitor at Odetah Camping Resort.

Weather preparation: The area can experience sudden storms. "Bring quarters for the showers. Westerly is nearby with a 24 hour WalMart in case you forget anything (which we did, being pretty new to camping at the time!) also, I got stung by a wasp, so watch out for those guys," advises a Burlingame State Park visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site specifications: Check dimensions before booking. "Very spacious, even with all those sites, there's plenty of room between sites and tons of open space for kids to run around, fly a kite, play tag, hide and seek," notes a camper at Burlingame, which has over 700 sites.

Hookup availability: Some glamping locations near Wakefield have limited electrical options. "No hook-ups, lol. This is a con in the heat of the summer if you want/need AC," mentions a Burlingame visitor, highlighting an important consideration for summer glamping.

Resort-style options: For luxury glamping close to Wakefield, Rhode Island, consider campgrounds with premium amenities. "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," explains a camper at Normandy Farms Campground, which offers a resort experience about an hour from Wakefield.
