Enjoy Rhode Island's history and scenic beauty by planning a trip this season. Stay at any of these amazing RV parks for added fun.
Rhode Island is a tiny state with a big personality. It is nicknamed the “Ocean State” because it borders the Atlantic Ocean on two sides. Though it is the smallest state, its beauty and attractions have made it so popular that it is also the second-most densely populated one in the country. Its cities are laden with history and scenic beauty. Tourist favorites are Newport, called the ‘playground of the rich’ with its fabled mansions, and Providence, with its rich industrial history.
Add to the mix stunning nature sights of lush woods, sandy beaches, and picturesque gardens, and Rhode Island has it all. RV campers are in luck because the state has an equally diverse list of RV parks to choose from. Sunset beach drives will make for wonderful views out of your windshield, and local attractions will guarantee an unforgettable vacation. Gear up your RV and leave the rest to us, because this list will choose the best RV campground for you!
Located in Providence, this campground opened its gates in the 1960s and has been a family favorite since. The area is scattered with attractions. Tourists looking for some peace and quiet can take a trip to Block Island and Mystic Seaport. Families will greatly enjoy the Mystic Aquarium and Roger Williams Park Zoo, while the sea views of Cape Cod and waterfront Wickford Village absolutely cannot be missed. Wawaloam itself has great RV amenities and is a treat for campers with waterslides, a snack bar, and exquisite seafood options.

True to its name, this campground offers campers a ‘seaside village’ feel with its balance of wildlife and canopies, and the waterfront. It is located in the town of Narragansett and is surrounded by attractions. Tourists will have their days full of exploring the Scarborough State Beach, Point Judith Lighthouse, Black Point Trailhead, and the Adventureland Family Fun Park. You could also visit in the winter to enjoy the Yawgoo Valley ski area and John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge. The park would deserve a spring RV trip as well if just to see the Blitheworld Mansion’s stunning expansive gardens in full bloom.

This campground is a perfect mix of the outdoors and the city! It is the state’s largest recreational area so campers will enjoy a summer trip cooling in the pool, horseback riding, boating, and fishing with their friends. Oak Embers is also close to Providence, so be sure to check out the bonfires and street performances at the Woonasquatucket River’s riverwalk. Of course, there are plenty of stops along the way for RV campers, but be sure to enjoy a hearty meal at the tourist favorite Middle of Nowhere Diner enroute Oak Embers!
