A scenic view of Newport

If you’re interested in whale-watching, come during the two annual migration periods: from mid-December through mid-January or from late March through May. Newport can easily be visited year-round, and many area campgrounds are open in winter.

Hipcamp has the perfect site to match your camping style.
