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.

Our driveway is located about 3 miles from the start of the Boston Marathon, 8 minutes from 495, but, down a country road. We find our property to be quite peaceful. We do have crickets and frogs to lull you to sleep and early birds to greet you in the morning.  Keep an eye out for turtles! We are a few hundred yards from either Upton State Forest or Lake Whitehall. Lake Whitehall is popular with boaters (speed limit enforced) and is stocked with fish. No swimming. There is a public boat ramp on the other side of the lake. We often put in our kayaks at the entrance close to our house. We hike, mountain bike and picnic in these parks. It's really beautiful.  There is a 24-hour grocery store 2 miles down the road.  The gravel campsite is located at the barn end of our driveway in front of the red barn. There is a little privacy from the house, but, we may need to get into the barn from time to time. We have a 30amp and water hookup at the barn. If planning on using electric please add one "electric hookup" extra to each night of your stay BEFORE finishing the request to book, it's really difficult to add it after. Please plan to bring 50' of hose and/or 25ft of electrical cord if using hookups. There is wifi, BUT, it's pretty weak at the barn. Definitely not strong enough for streaming! Our Ibex camper may or may not be parked next to the barn depending on if we are out camping!  We do not accept car campers. Turtle Path also has a Guest Suite. Find us on that other website! Shortly after we moved in we discovered a large snapping turtle on his way from Lake Whitehall to the creek at the back of our property. Our neighbor told us that's the turtle's usual route. Turtle won our hearts that day.

Weekend Trip to Getaway Ranch

Absolutely magical. The Yurt site at Getaway Ranch is one of those rare, special places that can heal your weary soul. The perfect balance of wilderness immersion and convenience. Will you hear some faint sounds of civilization in the distance? Yes. But, that's a fair trade-off for a FWD accessible site where you will fall asleep to the sound of barred owls and coyotes, then wake up to the beauty of the fog rolling off the river. Lot's of cool amenities. We definitely want to try our the Yurt site's cast iron smoker next year! Thank you, Karyssa!

Fall River Heritage State Park camping guide

Overview

About

For those with a penchant for history and a love for the outdoors, camping near Fall River Heritage State Park is an experience like no other. This 14-acre gem, perched on the banks of the Taunton River in Fall River, Massachusetts, offers a delightful blend of historical intrigue and recreational activities. Adjacent to the iconic Charles M. Braga Jr. Memorial Bridge, the park is a stone's throw away from Battleship Cove, the proud home of the World War II battleship USS Massachusetts. As you set up camp, you're not just amidst nature; you're amidst stories of valor and resilience. The park itself is a testament to the state's commitment to preserving urban spaces and cultural heritage. Established as part of the heritage parks initiative in the late 1970s, Fall River Heritage State Park has been a beacon of community engagement and private economic growth. The visitor center, which opened its doors in 1985, serves as a gateway to the park's rich history. But it's not just about the past. The park is brimming with activities for every camper. Stroll along the wheelchair-friendly boardwalk, bask in the sun at the 3-acre meadow, or partake in the park's public sailing program. For those with a fondness for nostalgia, the antique carousel from Dartmouth's Lincoln Park is a must-visit. And if you're camping during the summer, the park comes alive with rock concerts, cultural festivals, film screenings, and even Shakespeare performances.

When to go

The best time to visit Fall River Heritage State Park is during the warmer months, when the park's full splendor can be enjoyed from sunrise to sunset. Winter visits offer a stark, quiet beauty, but some facilities may be less accessible. Avoid peak holiday weekends for a more tranquil experience.

Know before you go

Free onsite parking is available, making access easy and convenient.
Remember, no alcohol is permitted within the park boundaries.
Facilities include a picnic area, restrooms, and a scenic viewing area for your comfort.
