Campgrounds near Kingston, Rhode Island
Kingston is a village within South Kingstown in Washington County, in Rhode Island's South County region. It sits inland from the Atlantic coast, roughly a fifteen-minute drive from Narragansett's beaches, Point Judith, and the Block Island Ferry, which makes it a practical base for RV travelers who want to split time between freshwater ponds and the shore.
The area around Kingston mixes state-run coastal campgrounds with family-owned inland parks. Fishermans Memorial State Park sits on Point Judith with a mix of full-hookup, electric-only, and no-hookup RV sites, while Charlestown Breachway Campground is a self-contained-RV-only area on the barrier beach between Ninigret Pond and Block Island Sound. Inland, Wordens Pond Family Campground and Wawaloam Campground offer wooded sites with hookups, and Long Cove Marina and Seasonal Campground caters mainly to seasonal renters.
Most campgrounds in this part of Rhode Island operate on a seasonal calendar from spring through late October, with peak demand tied to the Memorial Day through Labor Day window.
Things to do near Kingston
The coast drives most trip plans. Fishermans Memorial State Park sits close to Scarborough, Roger Wheeler, and Salty Brine state beaches, is just one mile from the Block Island Ferry dock, and is about fifteen minutes from Newport. Charlestown Breachway Campground has walking access to the beach, panoramic views of Block Island Sound, a boat launch, and productive saltwater fishing in South County.
Inland options center on ponds and refuges. Worden Pond is Rhode Island's largest freshwater pond, good for fishing and kayaking, and the adjacent Great Swamp Management Area offers hiking and wildlife viewing. Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge sits nearby with trails and birding.
Families staying at Wawaloam Campground can use an on-site waterslide, splash pad, mini golf, and a pond for fishing without leaving the property.

The main camping season runs from April through late October. Fishermans Memorial State Park typically operates from April through October, and Charlestown Breachway Campground runs from April 15 through October 31. Off-season, most campgrounds in the area are closed and coastal facilities such as beach restrooms are shut down.
The Rhode Island state parks system defines peak season as the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend in May through the Sunday of Labor Day weekend in September. During this window, weekends fill quickly, minimum stays apply at some parks, and beach parking lots at popular breachways reach capacity early in the morning.
Shoulder months, especially September and early October, tend to have warm days, cooler nights, lower humidity, and easier reservations. Winter brings nor'easters driven by the contrast between frigid continental air masses and the relatively warm Atlantic Ocean; visitors planning off-season trips should check for road, park, and ferry closures before setting out.

Kevin was great in delivering and setting up the unit and going over the “how to”. It was clean - spacious enough to fit our family of 5 - and ran into no issues on our weekend rental. Highly recommended.
Chris H. - Jul 2025
My family had a great time camping with Maria and Kevin’s camper. They were very responsive when we needed help and friendly during drop off and pickup. Will book with them again if we don’t have our own camper next year!

How to book
Rhode Island state campgrounds, including Fishermans Memorial State Park and Charlestown Breachway Campground, are booked through the Rhode Island State Parks reservation portal on ReserveAmerica. Reservations can be made for today and up to 12 months in advance, and prime summer weekends at Fishermans Memorial routinely book on the first day the window opens.
Private campgrounds handle their own reservations. Wordens Pond Family Campground, Wawaloam Campground, and Long Cove Marina and Seasonal Campground take bookings directly by phone or through their websites.
Check-in at state parks runs 1:00 PM to no later than 10:00 PM, with an 11:00 AM checkout that is strictly enforced. Cancellation and refund terms are set by Rhode Island State Parks and should be confirmed at the time of booking.
What to expect on-site
Site types vary significantly. Fishermens Memorial State Park has 182 campsites that accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs; sites 1 to 105 have full hookups, sites 141 to 182 are electric-only, and sites 106 to 140 have no hookups, with each site including a table, fire ring, and grate. Amenities include drinking water spigots, flush toilets, and a dump station, with generator use permitted only between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
Charlestown Breachway is self-contained-only, with no dump or water filling stations on site, and every unit must have manufacturer-installed permanent holding tanks for potable, grey, and black water. Hookups are not available, open wood or charcoal fires are not allowed (propane stoves are okay), and pets are not permitted.
Private parks such as Wordens Pond Family Campground and Wawaloam Campground offer water and electric hookups, showers, laundry, playgrounds, and pet-friendly rules.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Kingston, RI
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Kingston, RI?
RV rental in Kingston is affordable compared to booking flights and hotels along the New England coast. Travel trailers typically run $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes average $150 to $275 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes can reach $300 or more per night during peak summer. You can save the most by booking shoulder-season trips in May, early June, or September, when South County weather is still beautiful and pricing eases. Filter by Instant Book and look for hosts offering weekly discounts, since many owners reduce nightly rates 10 to 15 percent on stays of five nights or more. That is how renters score a cheap RV rental in Kingston families enjoy.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kingston%2C%20Rhode%20IslandDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Kingston, Rhode Island?
Good news: your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Kingston, Rhode Island. The Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special endorsement for personal recreational vehicles, even the larger Class A motorhomes you'll see on the platform. You'll just need to be 25 or older, hold a valid license, and complete the quick ID verification step inside your RVezy booking. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set. Most first-time renters are amazed how fast the approval process moves, often the same day you book.
dmv.ri.gov/licenses-ids/drivers-licenseWhat is included to protect me during my Kingston RV trip?
Every RVezy booking in Kingston comes with a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can cruise down Route 138 toward Narragansett knowing you are covered. You choose your protection level at checkout (not the host), picking the tier that matches the peace of mind you want. The plan helps cover eligible accidental damage to the RV during your trip. Pair that with your host walkthrough at pickup and you have a safety net that lets you focus on lighthouse views, not the what-ifs. Review full details on RVezy's insurance and protection page before booking.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat happens if I need to cancel my Kingston RV rental?
Booking your Kingston RV rental is low-risk because RVezy sets a clear, guest-friendly cancellation policy that applies to every reservation on the platform, rather than each host setting their own. There is a grace-period window right after booking when you can cancel and receive a refund, and additional refund tiers depend on how far in advance of your trip you cancel. If a host cancels on you, RVezy helps you find an alternative or provides a refund or credit. You can review the full policy on the RVezy help center, but the takeaway is simple: you can lock in a summer week near Burlingame now and still have flexibility if plans change.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Kingston RV rental?
Yes, Kingston is a fantastic basecamp for a pet-friendly RV rental that Kingston dog owners love. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see motorhomes and campervans whose hosts welcome your pup. Once you are rolling, leashed dogs are allowed at the nearby Great Swamp Management Area and along the William C. O'Neill Bike Path that runs through Kingston village. Both Burlingame State Park Campground in Charlestown and Fishermen's Memorial State Park in Narragansett permit leashed pets at campsites. Pack a towel and a portable water bowl for post-beach rinses after visiting dog-friendly stretches near East Matunuck outside peak swimming hours.
riparks.ri.gov/Can the RV be delivered to my campsite in Kingston?
Yes, RV delivery in Kingston is one of the most popular options on the platform and a great choice for first-timers. Many South County hosts will drive the motorhome or travel trailer directly to your campsite at Worden Pond, Burlingame State Park, or Fishermen's Memorial State Park, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Filter listings using the Delivery option to see who delivers to your area and the per-mile fee. Setup typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, so by the time you have unpacked the cooler, your motorhome rental in Kingston is ready to enjoy, no towing required.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kingston%2C%20Rhode%20IslandHow far can I drive on a Kingston RV trip, and is unlimited mileage available?
You have serious range on a Kingston RV trip because South County sits at the crossroads of New England. Newport is about 25 miles away, Mystic, Connecticut is roughly 20 miles west, Providence is 35 miles north, the Cape Cod bridges are about 75 miles, and Boston is around 80 miles. Each host sets their own mileage policy: many include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and a growing number of listings offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, ideal for an RV road trip from Kingston up the coast. Check the listing's mileage section before booking, and message the host if you are planning a longer loop, many will bundle extra miles into a custom quote.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kingston%2C%20Rhode%20IslandWhere are the best campgrounds near Kingston, RI?
You have great options when it comes to RV camping near Kingston within a 20-mile radius. Fishermen's Memorial State Park in Narragansett (about 7 miles south) offers 147 sites with water and electric hookups and is steps from Scarborough State Beach. Burlingame State Park Campground in Charlestown (about 15 miles southwest) is one of the largest campgrounds in New England, sited on Watchaug Pond. Worden Pond Family Campground in South Kingstown offers waterfront sites and kayak rentals. Wawaloam Campground in West Kingston has full hookups, pools, and is family-friendly. Long Cove Marina and Family Campground in Charlestown rounds out the list with saltwater pond access.
riparks.ri.gov/places/fishermens-memorial-state-campgroundWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip to Kingston, RI?
Late May through mid-October is prime time for RV camping that Kingston travelers love, with summer highs around 78 to 84 degrees F and ocean breezes that keep things comfortable. July and August are the busiest and warmest months, perfect for beach days at East Matunuck and Narragansett Town Beach. The local favorite move is September and early October, when temperatures hover in the mid-70s, the Atlantic is still swimmable, crowds thin out, and South County farms host harvest festivals. Fall foliage peaks in mid to late October. Winters are cold (20s to 40s F) and many state campgrounds close after the fall season, but several private parks stay open year-round.
weather.gov/box/I have never driven an RV before. Is renting in Kingston a good idea?
Kingston is one of the friendliest places in the Northeast for first time renting an RV. The roads around South County are mostly flat, well-paved, and rural, with wide shoulders on Routes 1, 108, and 138, far easier than navigating Boston or Providence. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup that covers driving tips, leveling, hookups, the propane system, and dumping tanks, and you can message them anytime during your trip. Choose a smaller Class C motorhome or campervan rental in Kingston for your first outing, or book a host delivery so you skip the driving entirely. For extra confidence, do a practice loop through a large empty parking lot on a quiet morning before hitting the highway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are not stranded on a Kingston RV trip. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so whether you have a flat tire on Route 1 heading to Watch Hill, a dead battery at Burlingame, or a generator that will not start late at night, one call gets help dispatched. Your host is your first-line resource and most South County owners respond quickly via the in-app message thread because they know their rig inside and out. RVezy support is also available before, during, and after your trip. Save both contacts in your phone at pickup and you will have backup at every mile marker.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my Kingston RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is allowed, and an RV road trip from Kingston naturally crosses borders since Connecticut is about 20 minutes west and Massachusetts is roughly 30 minutes north. Cape Cod, the Berkshires, Acadia National Park, and even Vermont's Green Mountains are all reachable from Kingston. For Canada-bound trips, message the host directly before booking, since some allow cross-border travel with prior approval and proper paperwork, while others restrict it for insurance reasons. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because the protection plan and roadside coverage do not extend there. Download offline maps before you cross any border in case cell coverage drops.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I budget for in Kingston?
Budgeting fuel for your Kingston RV trip is straightforward. Class B campervans get roughly 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 MPG, Class A rigs run 6 to 10 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle (usually a 25 to 35 percent hit to your truck's normal MPG). Rhode Island gas prices typically track near the New England average, and you will find competitive pumps along Route 138 in Wakefield and Route 1 in South Kingstown. For a 4-night local loop within 100 miles of Kingston, most travelers budget about $80 to $180 in fuel. Fill up before crossing into Connecticut where gas taxes are typically higher.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I reserve a campground near Kingston?
For summer weekends at Rhode Island state parks, reserve as early as you can. The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management opens campground reservations through its online portal, and popular spots like Fishermen's Memorial and Burlingame can sell out shortly after release. Aim to book 4 to 6 months ahead for July and August stays. Private parks like Wawaloam and Long Cove book up about 2 to 3 months out for peak weekends. Shoulder-season trips in May, September, and October often have same-week availability. Midweek arrivals from Sunday through Wednesday are easier to snag, and many hosts will adjust pickup times to match your campground check-in window.
riparks.ri.gov/campingWhat are the local driving conditions like around Kingston?
Driving an RV around Kingston is low-stress. South County is mostly flat, with two-lane country roads, gentle curves, and well-marked routes connecting beaches, ponds, and villages. Routes 1, 138, and 108 are the main arteries and easily handle large rigs. Two things to watch for: summer beach traffic on Route 1 between Wakefield and Westerly on Friday and Sunday afternoons (leave early or late to dodge it), and a few low railroad bridges in nearby Wickford and Peace Dale, so always check your RV's height (most are 11 to 13 feet) against posted clearances. Coastal fog can roll in at dawn, so use low beams and take your time on Ocean Road.
dot.ri.gov/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Kingston?
Campgrounds around Kingston span the full spectrum so you can match your comfort level. Rhode Island state parks like Fishermen's Memorial offer water and 30-amp electric at most sites, hot showers, flush toilets, and a centralized dump station, but no sewer hookups at the site. Private parks like Wawaloam Campground and Long Cove offer full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50-amp), Wi-Fi, pools, laundry, and camp stores. Potable water fill-ups are available at most campground entrances, and dump stations are available at Burlingame and Fishermen's Memorial. Bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a basic surge protector, since older park electrical pedestals can occasionally throw voltage spikes.
riparks.ri.gov/places/fishermens-memorial-state-campgroundWhat is actually inside the RVs available for rent in Kingston?
You will be impressed by what comes standard on a Kingston RV rental. Most motorhomes and travel trailers sleep 4 to 8 people, with a queen bed, convertible dinette, and bunk options. Kitchens include a 3-burner propane stove, microwave, refrigerator and freezer, and sink. Bathrooms have a toilet, shower, and sink. Expect air conditioning, a furnace, a TV (often with a Blu-ray player or streaming stick), and onboard freshwater and waste tanks. Many South County hosts include extras like outdoor speakers, beach chairs, a propane fire pit, and bike racks, perfect for the William C. O'Neill Bike Path. Wi-Fi and generators are common on Class A and C rigs; check the listing's amenities section to confirm exactly what is onboard.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kingston%2C%20Rhode%20IslandWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about for a Kingston RV rental?
Hosts in Kingston make trip prep easy with popular add-ons you can select right in the booking flow. Common extras include linen and towel packages ($30 to $75), kitchen kits with pots and dishes ($25 to $50), generator use (often a few dollars per hour beyond a free daily allowance), bike racks, kayaks, beach gear, and propane refills. Pickup is usually at the host's address in South Kingstown, Wakefield, or Narragansett, or you can pay a per-mile delivery fee to have the RV brought to your campground. Mileage policies vary, so review the listing's per-night included miles and overage rate. Ask hosts about bundled delivery and setup packages, which often save money versus booking each add-on separately.
