With the original home built in 1785, Milk Thistle farm is on the historic register and is comprised of the main house and 5 acres of land. It is run as a small non-profit animal sanctuary and is home to rescued chickens, goats, and pigs, as well as two humans and their dog and cat companions. The main property is fenced in and is closed off to visitors. We have two sites; the orchard to explore that can also double as hammock camping, as well as a small wooded nook. Both are next to the goat pen. There is parking for cars and bikes. We try to minimize our impact on the environment as much as possible, and encourage our guests to compost, recycle, and dispose of waste accordingly. Please note we have dogs, including a Livestock Guardian Dog that does bark to alert us of new people and warn off would be predators. Check us out on instagram @milk_thistle_farm

Enjoy this quaint and tranquil getaway. Close to local beaches, cafes, and shops. Our property is located in the picturesque New England coastal town of Tiverton, Rhode Island. The property is located on a main road and consists of a family residence, a Christian church that sits high on a hill overlooking the Nanaquaket Pond. Pitch your tent, or park your car/van, in our backyard woodlands just past our house off the main road with rustic walking paths to the Nannaquacket Pond. Take in the natural wildlife such as deer, groundhogs, songbirds, and our free-range chickens when they are out and about. The beauty of the countryside is right around the corner.

Cranston, RI · 1 site
We are a 48-acre historic, conservation fiber farm smack in the middle of Rhode Island-in an area that was once all farmland. We are a bit of a holdover-and we take our stewardship role of this farming legacy quite seriously. Despite our glorious natural setting, we are actually very close to all the places people want to visit in RI-including Providence (15 minutes), Newport (30 minutes) beaches (15-40 depending on which one you chose) and a bunch of parks and hiking areas (15-45 minutes max). We are also near Ct and Mass-so a good home base for all kinds of exploring! Stays are limited to three nights.

We enjoyed our campsite far enough away from others to really get the sounds of birds and animals as a primary experience. It was easy to get to the spot. Communication was clear and helpful.

Nice accommodations. Toilet, whole 5 gallons of water as well as waste, compost and recycling bins placed out. Nice flat area for tents. Only down side id say is its a little short walk from the parking area but they provide a cart

My fiance and I had a wonderful visit to Karyssa’s land! It was our first camping trip and our first visit to Rhode Island, it was very peaceful and private, the tent area was perfect for the tent we brought and Karyssa even provided some firewood to us to start, we purchased more at the stand the next day! Lots of butterflies and sunshine, and the bathroom area was clean and Karyssa was super responsive. We would absolutely come back! It is also pretty close to the beach in Charlestown. Thank you for a great first camping experience!

I loved how private and secluded the site is. Not to mention I also felt safe camping here. Note: it is off the road by a moderate to busy road so you will hear cars passing by

Karyssa was very quick to respond to my camping request. She recommended the best site for my teardrop camper. Her property is very peaceful and private. She sends a video of how to get to your site and even left some firewood. The site was perfect my dog and I, very clean and quiet. We will definitely return.

A very nice stay deep in their woods. We were able to hear some noise from the road, and some nighttime critters/early morning roosters, but it wasn’t bad and I’m sure most campers wear ear plugs. We loved getting to see the goats and pigs all the time.

What a lovely place! The tent site was better than expected, with a fire pit, tables, a grill, an outhouse, and a floating dock. The bathroom is clean and comfortable.

Loved camping at the Stonewall Site! It’s a short but steep hike down to the site with plenty of privacy! Slightly buggy but other than that awesome. Stephen and Sandra were extremely responsive and accommodating!

What a beautiful and peaceful place to spend a few nights! We spent the day at the beach, not too far of a drive, and better than staying in a crowded campground!. Thanks Karyssa, we'll def have you on our RI list of places to stay

Cute camp site tucked in the woods. Walk along a path that follows pigs and goats to your camp site!!! They had a compost toilet set up and a really nice fire pit. Stayed one night and it was perfect for us!

The space was perfect! Located right next to the goats, it was a treat to watch them walk by in their enclosure. The mossy path leading up to the campsite gave a wonderful first impression. Krystine was very responsive and kind.

Curious goats at the fence in the morning! A simple wooded site with privy, water and a fire pit. Great host Krystine was kind enough to keep the wood dry until the rain stopped!

We loved tent camping at the stonewall site!! Our hosts were incredibly understanding about a late arrival, and were quick to get back to us regarding any questions we had. The land was absolutely beautiful and we spent hours on the pond paddling around in the canoe, and fishing. The camping site itself was spacious, and yes you can hear some road noise but it absolutely fades away into the background after a short while. 100% will be back, and would reccomend.

We had a great camping trip here! It was our toddler's first trip, and he can't stop talking about how fun it was. He loved visiting the animals and running up and down the trail. Our spot was private and easy to get to. I think if we did it again with him (and our absurdly giant tent) we would go with the Orchard site because it looked a little bigger, but we were very comfortable. Like any piece of woods in New England, it's not a bad thing to have poison ivy wipes with you, especially if you're with a tiny human who loves to disregard the paths. We loved having farm fresh eggs in the morning! We already recommended it to friends.

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.
