## Overview

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.

**House rules:**

- Be trustworthy and respectful of neighbors.
- Leave no trace. Whatever you bring in, please bring out. You may leave contents in the trash and recycle bin.
- The modest house will be unoccupied when you are there. You will have complete privacy and my use of the enclosed screened porch.
- When in doubt, ask me.
- Use safe practices around the fire pit. There are welding gloves in the porch and I leave the pitchfork around the fire pit. You may pick up a "reasonable" amount of loose firewood on the property ❗️Poison Ivy & Ticks ❗️ . Do not burn pieces larger than normal sized firewood. Completely put out fire after you leave.
- Please don’t post photos of the house for privacy. The backyard is fine.
- Watch out for poison ivy and ticks on the outskirts wooded areas and mound.
- Always wear shoes. DO NOT WALK AROUND BAREFOOT.
- Check in is 1 pm. Check out is 11am. I try to be flexible for requests.
- Please do not drive over or park on the septic cement covers.
- You can move the 30am outlet but it needs to be propped up. Some of the back yard is pitched which is not ideal when hitching and unhitching to a vehicle. The best level place is on the right side of the house or in the left backyard. Please try not to dig up the backyard after a heavy rainfall but not the end of the world.
- Please return the seat cushions in the porch, close the umbrella and put out any fires.
- Please use natural products for shower.
- Please so not leave remnants of food near the outside shower.
- Try to conserve water and turn off spigot valves after use.
- Be aware of overhead branches. I am not responsible for fallen branches on your vehicle. There is plenty of open space to park.
- The screened porch has table , chairs, trash , welding gloves, paper, broom, dustpan and fire extinguisher, outdoor rug and outdoor tables.

> This camp is a gem. Very private and spacious. It feels quite rustic but has all the amenities you could need, including power, water and a beautiful landscape. Host was very gracious and accommodating. I felt at home.

> This was one of the worst hipcamps I have stayed at. My fault for not looking closer but I booked for the electrical hookup, which was the only good thing. The spot is in a backyard behind a rundown trailer. Not an ideal view. Add in the road noise and the worst mosquitos on my trip and I, honestly, didn’t want to get out of the RV. Wouldn’t be worth staying if it it was a $20 site. Glad it was only one night

> Everything was exactly how it was described. I was able to hook up water in 30 amp electric to my camper. The outdoor shower with hot and cold water was pretty cool. It was nice to have the Porta potty so I didn’t fill up my camper. The fire pit was pretty cool. Our Host was very informative about things in the area and was also responded fairly quickly to questions I sent him.
