Newport RV Park

Good size sites. Trees. Decent WiFi. Clean and quiet. Not much for amenities - no camp store, pool, activities.

Der Camping Platz ist super ausgerüstet. Die Plätze sind grosszügig und gut gepflegt. Auch wenn der Platz eher teuer ist, bekommt man dort sehr viel. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und flexibel. Von der Lage her ist man auf ein Auto angewiesen.

This park was very nice, but they advertise being 5 miles away from historic Newport, and it’s more like 8. There are zero bike paths that are immediately accessible and Newport drivers are not walker/biker friendly. No sidewalks on the Main Street to get you here. Ubers and Lyfts can be scarce and very expensive depending on the time of day. Between $16 to $78 rides…so, if you’re not towing, just something to be aware of. Neighbors were super nice and there is a great dog park (we think it’s city owned) with super nice doggo humans. Was good for a short stay - we just wish we had known how far out it really was because we really would have loved to spend more time downtown.

Sites were not bad. They did have stone down for a base. Sites are 1/2 in wooded areas and 1/2 in open field. We went on a Holiday Weekend but they were not very personable and did not give us events going on around. There is no pool here. Beaches are about a 15-20 min drive

Pay one price, no hidden fees- the park was recently updated and was beautiful. Spoke to the nice gal in the office and she pointed out that the owners (who are the same one even though they just changed the name of the place from Melville Ponds) that there were these cute airstreams that can be booked on Air BnB- which would be a fun option for some non-camping friends we have who don't want to pay the high cost of a hotel in Newport. There's a cottage to rent to- but 3 bedrooms is more than anyone we know would need. So glad we found this place and we've already booked our 2023 stay!

We stayed for the Newport folk fest in 2021 and although expensive because you have to stay four days it was worth it. Steve saved us honestly because we had no reservation here. By chance they had a cancellation. He also gave us ice and firewood as we were stressed after the ordeal of realizing no way we’ll find a place with no reservation last minute! We had one at another place that neglected to say on website RV only. No showers or toilets!! We were two girls camping and needed a good safe place. This was it! Clean Bathrooms with music piped in. Love this place to pieces.

Wonderful staff clean tent site are amazing great place to camp and fish and hike great place to take a dog

The campground is close to relatively easy hiking trails and Portsmouth Dog Park. Clean site areas, but many are on a slight slop so leveling blocks are needed. We Took one of the nearby Trails get to the Portsmouth Publick House restaurant, which is dog friendly, for lunch. The waterfall along the blue trail is picture worthy.

We stayed in the premium pull through sites here. The whole campground is gorgeous. You’ll notice how clean and quiet it is right when you first arrive. Check in was under a minute; the staff already had everything prepared which made it super simple. The premium sites have no shade and are a little close to the neighbors. However, they have great paver stone patios and fire pits. They also had a slight downhill slope so it required some extra blocks to level out. Overall, the whole place is a great campground. Plenty of hiking within walking distance and a short drive to all local attractions. Plenty of amenities and a modest camp store as well. I’ll be back for sure.

Excellent location for exploring the cites and beaches of Rhode Island! Call ahead to check on shade versus full sun sites if that’s important and take note of grass and course gravel pad material as well. The main campground is on a slope, so be prepared for some leveling requirements, especially sites #216 and #217 (front to back). Also, our site #215 was at the bottom of the hill, so it was a bit mucky. This site also sloped down on both sides of the pad significantly reducing the usable footprint of the area. Otherwise a perfect experience with friendly hosts, clean facilities and centrally located!

This is a cute little campground that’s easy to access. It’s 20 minutes from downtown Newport and about 45 minutes to downtown Providence.

It’s well shaded, has a nice playground, bathhouse, and a laundry room. My biggest complaint is the dryers are terrible. I had to dry my clothes 3 times ( that’s 3 hours). Nobody has time for that. Also if you’re tent camping, the bathrooms are very inconvenient.

Finally, our site was not angled and that made it tougher to get in to it.

I stayed for one night and have to say it was a very lovely place to spend the night. Full hookups at each site and the place is away from the busy street.

This is the perfect place to stay if your visiting Newport,RI.  We had a great time at this small campground, very clean and nice staff.  Not many amenities but we where there for the beaches and mansions.  Will stay again

We got a great pull through full hookup with a 5 minute walk to a huge dog park. There are also a bunch of beautiful trails right from the park

great for the family. their is a nice pond to go fishing at as well. about an 20 min drive to local beaches
