Private 2.2-Acre RV Basecamp on Route 3 | Loaded with Amenities | Centrally Located near I-95
Welcome to your private Rhode Island basecamp! Set privately in the backyard behind a vacant, vintage single-story structure, this dedicated 2.2-acre RV site offers complete privacy from the road, directing all attention to the open green space, outdoor amenities, and dark night skies. Tailored for road-trippers, dog owners, and active travelers, it is an ideal spot to plug in, unwind, and recharge before your next day’s adventure.
Located directly on Route 3 with close access to I-95, this site is centrally located so you can be on the road in minutes—making easy day trips to the beaches of Watch Hill, historic Newport, local wineries, golf courses, or nearby hiking and fishing trails.
Amenities for RVers & Outdoor Lovers:
Utility Access: Dedicated 30-amp electric hookup (moveable) and clean, pristine potable water.
Epic Natural Fire Pit: An impressively large, natural stone fire pit designed for gathering, story-swapping, and stargazing under dark night skies.
Outdoor Comforts: Screened-in rustic porch, propane grill, and an outdoor dining table with chairs and umbrella.
Convenient Facilities: Outdoor rinse shower, hot and cold utility spigots, and an on-site portable restroom to help you conserve your RV holding tanks.
Pet Setup: Dog-friendly with two installed dog runners plus a moveable tie-out post available for your pets.
A Note on Setting & Sound:
This property offers a unique blend of natural surroundings and prime transit convenience. While the backyard features dark skies and mature greenery, the property is located directly on Route 3 with Interstate 95 running behind the property line. Recent clearing and construction in the corridor have opened up the buffer, so highway and road traffic is clearly audible outdoors.
If you are looking for complete deep-woods isolation to sit outside all day, this site may not be the right fit. But if you want a private, amenity-rich launchpad to recharge your rig after a full day exploring coastal New England, this spot delivers unbeatable convenience.

Absolutely magical. The Yurt site at Getaway Ranch is one of those rare, special places that can heal your weary soul. The perfect balance of wilderness immersion and convenience. Will you hear some faint sounds of civilization in the distance? Yes. But, that's a fair trade-off for a FWD accessible site where you will fall asleep to the sound of barred owls and coyotes, then wake up to the beauty of the fog rolling off the river. Lot's of cool amenities. We definitely want to try our the Yurt site's cast iron smoker next year! Thank you, Karyssa!

We had a great camping time with my friends at main campsite. The view is beautiful and private campsite. The host prepared almost everything we needed for camping, such as firewood, trash bags, and tents, even though we brought our own stuffs. The next day when we woke up, it started heavy raining, but we were still very good, and felt comfortable to take a shower after that. Thank you for the great campsite.

Where to go
Lincoln Woods State Park
Put Rhode Island’s first state park first on your list of attractions. Not far from Pawtucket, this all-encompassing park lets campers design their own vacation, never far from the views—and beaches—of Olney Pond. Trails abound throughout the park, though how to traverse them is a decision best left to you. Horseback, mountain bikes, and good ol’ hiking boots all do the trick.
Along the Bays
Before you reach the Atlantic, a series of bays bookend eastern Rhode Island. As New England’s largest estuary, Narragansett Bay offers campers access to beaches and trailheads galore. To camp all the closer to the water, take the ferry from Bristol to Prudence Island. Meanwhile, further north, campsites near Goddard Memorial State Park get campers up close and personal with Greenwich Bay.
Down South
No visit to a coastal town is complete with a stop on the coast. Camp along Rhode Island’s southern end, where log cabins and RV campsites pepper the shoreline. Make s’mores around a fire pit at Fishermen’s Memorial State Park before biking to Point Judith Lighthouse. Or, head to Burlingame State Park, where campsites come with tree coverage and views of Watchaug Pond.
When to go
Summer is the best—but busiest—season to experience the full range of Rhode Island’s outdoor activities. Maximize your camping options by planning a warm-weather getaway, when temperatures in Rhode Island hover in the 80s. Come fall, the Atlantic Ocean quickly cools down, so look beyond coastal campsites in the shoulder seasons. Both fall and spring are best suited for hiking and exploring Rhode Island’s close-knit towns, while winter camping is all about cozy A-frames and snow sports.
