Lakeside camping in Rhode Island guide

Overview

Rhode Island is famous for its sandy coastal shores, but its lakes are just as spectacular—and feature an assortment of both RV and tent campsites. Rhode Island family campgrounds offer a range of amenities, including sewage hookups, wifi, and recreation halls, but the real joys of lake camping are in the experiences. Spend a few days at a Bowdish Lake campsite and youll understand why so many visitors come for the entire summer rather than a weekend getaway, or hit nearby George Washington State Park between April and October for more waterfront camping with a view. Take a lake camping trip with family or friends in tow to get the lay of the land via canoe or tandem kayak and enjoy Rhode Islands freshwater. Just keep your binoculars handy—you never know what fauna youll be lucky to spot.
