The best forest glamping sites in Rhode Island

Name: Rhode Island
Address: Rhode Island
Rating: 4.924

Rhode Island may be small, but its campsites are mighty. The state offers something for everyone, so check into an RV park near the Roger Williams National Memorial and wander the Blackstone River Valley National Historic Park. History buffs can enter the Gilded Age with a Newport getaway, while urban explorers can embrace all things culture from a Providence campsite. If you’d rather glimpse rural Rhode Island, pick a direction, as well as a park, forest, or beach. You really can’t go wrong, whether you rent an RV site near the George Washington Memorial State Forest or stick close to the coast in Narragansett.

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.

2 nights at Hilltop Tree Farm by Sakonnet River

The land is beautiful and the host could not be more accommodating. There is a very comfortable bed in a spacious tent on a wooden platform. There is a big fire out and you ask the host to get you. wood. Plus - he is a beekeeper and we got a tour of his beekeeping.

1 night at Getaway Ranch

Such an amazing magical stay! The interior was so beautiful and cozy. It made it hard to pick a favorite spot to relax. But one of my favorite's would have to be the hammock in the screened in porch on the deck overlooking the water i’m listening to all of the birds. I only had one night stay, but it felt jampacked and so easy to get away from the city. Extra stars for leaving a bit of wood to have a fire. I will definitely be staying here again.

Weekend Trip to Hilltop Tree Farm by Sakonnet River

We enjoyed our stay at Hilltop Tree Farm! The hammock, fire pit, and picnic table were great to have available. The tent itself and the bed were comfortable for our 2 night stay. The location is great, right near hiking trails and a local beach. We got to see a beekeeping demonstration from Blake which was a nice way to end our stay. Blake was friendly and communicative, making sure we had everything we would need.

Exploring around the campsite. The trails were fun to explore!

We had a great time at Hilltop Tree Farm! Blake made sure we had everything we needed, and we had a fun exploring the camping area and the surrounding town. Seeing the bees was a huge plus, and we would love to stay again when we're in the area!

Rhode Island camping guide

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.
