Six sites with water and electric hookups sit on the grounds of Naval Station Newport, open to military-affiliated campers from Memorial Day weekend through October. The sites are well-separated, and water views come with the location. No sewer hookups or showers are on-site; two porta-potties handle sanitation. Newport RV Park, a short drive away, has a dump station for around $20. Downtown Newport is roughly 20 minutes out. RVs up to 36 feet are accommodated. Book early since only six spots exist.

Visitors often highlighted the peaceful setting with nice water views and well-separated sites. However, many mentioned the lack of full hookups and restroom facilities as drawbacks.

Decent Campground

There are 6 spots with water and electric, there's a campground not too far with a dump station for $20. The view is nice and there's a recreation area next to the campground.

Quiet and Convenient

Upside: There are only 6 spots, so it’s guaranteed to be a pretty peaceful, quiet place. Nice water views and close to a walkable beach. About 20 minutes to downtown Newport, so this made visiting the town easy. Given that its military only, you cant beat the price. Downside: no sewer hookups or showers. The closest sewer dump is not far, but they charge you $10.
