Americas smallest state sure knows how to compensate. Beaches span the Rhode Island coast, each with camping areas and tent sites certain to charm all kinds of campers. State beaches, like Charlestown Breachway and East Beach, feature RV campsites with public restrooms, select boating access, and swimming sections with lifeguards. From a beachside RV park, youll experience some of the states best camping and maybe catch a fish or two, as saltwater fishing is a popular summertime activity in addition to beach volleyball, biking, and kayaking. For a less active getaway, you could easily spend an entire weekend reclining on the shore near an RV beach campground, though even when the New England sun isnt out, theres still plenty to do along the Rhode Island coast. Once youve had your fill of the beach, save some time to explore the quaint streets of Newport, see Providence, and wander Jamestowns best walking trails. Rhode Islands activities—and beach camping—are as abundant as its seafood options.
