Within Charlestown Breachway State Park, this RV-only campground sits directly on Block Island Sound with sites positioned steps from the water. The facility operates as a basic parking area without hookups, requiring self-contained units with permanent plumbing and waste systems.
Sites 58-75 face the waterfront, providing direct access to the sound and its boat channel. Campers can launch kayaks from the small boat ramp at the campground's end or fish directly from the shoreline. The location allows views of both sunrise and sunset from waterfront sites. Jae H. notes campers can "watch both the sunrise and the sunset at the site" while "falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing."
Generator use runs from 8 AM to 8 PM, with multiple units typically operating during permitted hours. The campground provides composting toilets with limited daytime hours and trash collection. No picnic tables, fire rings, or dump station exist on-site, though Burlingame State Park and Campground offers free dumping and water refills for registered Breachway campers.
The facility reduces capacity to 50 percent during peak season, making advance reservations essential for summer visits. A clam shack, marina, and ice cream shop operate nearby for supplies and meals.

Due to the environmentally sensitive location of this campground, **every camping unit must contain manufacturer installed, permanent holding tanks for potable water, grey water, and black water.** Any aftermarket installations may require additional documentation prior to camping at this facility.
