Stories from the community

7 nights at Leyden’s Regeneration Sanctuary

Tucked away in southwestern Rhode Island is a nice little piece of land that has a little Sandy parking spot a nice fire pit and a piece of land with native plants all over it that will be blooming all summer. I’m sure. I was there during the spring in the violets in the blue were in bloom. It was nice and quiet and we got the rest we needed..

Weekend Trip to SimplePrivateNaturalwEpicFirepit

This was such a special spot. It is behind a house on a busier street but set back enough that it didn't bother us. It felt like a private little oasis which is exactly what we look for when using Hipcamp. And the outdoor shower was clean and AMAZING after a day hiking around. There was a great set up with a dog run to clip pup to while you're setting up, a table and chairs, and fire pit. 20 minutes to watch hill (head there for sunset!). Great location.

Weekend Trip to 8 Acres Homestead

Great affordable place to camp for a night. Love the fire pit and watching the sunset over the pond. My 13 year old loved the night hike down to the water as well. A little mucky at high tide but a great adventure close to home. The site is close to a road but felt safe. We camped in our Tesla which helped muffle any noise.

Weekend Trip to SimplePrivateNaturalwEpicFirepit

Camping at KSJoy’s property was overall great. We brought our 28ft Airstream and a large truck and was able to back in fine. The property is private with trees surrounding. The non used trailer in the front of the property gives privacy from the road. The large rock fire pit is a big hit for sitting around or even cooking over. It is also convenient to hiking and exploring. Our dog, Tony, also loved being able to use the runner and relax outside.

2 nights at Harlow Hill

The ease of parking and closeness to the beach locations!

1 night at SimplePrivateNaturalwEpicFirepit

Absolutely beautiful & spacious yard. I decided to go a little past the main yard beyond the historic looking stone walls and into the forested area for a hammock camp. It truly felt like a secluded spot out in the wild woods. I saw a deer and heard the cries of distant coyotes calling to each other. I loved every moment and will definitely be booking again in the future for a tent campout or a car camp… or both 😃

5 nights at SimplePrivateNaturalwEpicFirepit

This spot was great for our adventures! My husband had a work conference at New London and my son and I came along for the adventure. This site was under 30 mins from the base and train station making it a great central location. We were able to visit mystic Connecticut (less than 20 mins) Newport RI (1 hour) and Boston (1.5 hours driving and commuter train/ almost 2 hours the day we were dropped off at Amtrak in new London). Hosts were amazing, 30 amp was reliable. Spot had minimal road noise. The coyotes may serenade you at evening, this is just the joy of Connecticut and proves just how private this spot can be. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to 8 Acres Homestead

We really enjoyed our stay here… and will probably be back. Sandra was very responsive and friendly! The camp bathroom was nicer/cleaner than expected. Close to a busy road but otherwise a really nice spot. Highly recommend walking down to the water. Absolutely beautiful!

Weekend Trip to Moose's Midnight Getaway

Great, simple, and safe place to stop and sleep for the night. Electric hookup was as expected with an extension cord waiting as promised. Asked for a local pizza recommendation, and was not disappointed. Otherwise, minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches and surfable waves on the east coast.

Weekend Trip to Leyden’s Regeneration Sanctuary

Had a great time staying here - Victoria was super friendly! Will definitely be back to explore more!

RV camping in Rhode Island guide

Overview

Little Rhodie might be the smallest state in the US, but it packs in an impressive 45 National Historic Landmarks, 22 state parks, and beaches, and—despite not actually being an island—more than 400 miles of Atlantic coastline. RV campers won’t have to drive far to find a campground (in fact, you can drive across the entire state in about an hour), whether you prefer a family-friendly RV park with full hookups and pull-through campsites or getting back to nature. Hit the hiking trails at George Washington State Park or enjoy boating and birding at Burlingame State Park, both of which have popular rustic campgrounds or, if your rig has 4WD, camp right on the sand at East Beach. Beachside campsites fill up quickly in summer, so book ahead to snag a spot at Fishermen's Memorial State Park or the oceanside Charlestown Breachway (self-contained RVs only).
