How to Compare Rhode Island RVs For Rent
Rhode Island is the smallest state in the country, but its coastal campgrounds with direct ocean access, the Narragansett Bay shoreline, and easy day-trip access makes it a wonderful weekend rental trip.
Price ranges. The average rental runs about $130/night, with travel trailers starting around $90/night and Class C motorhomes typically running $170/night.
Rhode Island campgrounds have some of the tightest site length limits in New England. Most state campgrounds in Rhode Island cap sites at 35 feet, and several popular coastal campgrounds run shorter. Burlingame State Park and Fishermen's Memorial have hookup sites, but loop roads are designed for mid-size rigs. Measure your total rig length — tow vehicle included — before booking.
A Class C or smaller maximizes your coastal options. Rhode Island's coastal campgrounds are accessible and well-located, but site density is high and access roads are narrow. A Class C under 28 feet or a compact travel trailer navigates all state park campgrounds without issue. A large Class A limits you to the widest-layout sites only.
What to Know About Renting an RV in Rhode Island
Rhode Island's small size means your campground options are limited but focused. A few specifics:
Block Island does not permit RV transport. The Block Island Ferry is a foot-passenger and small vehicle service — no RVs. Base camp at a mainland campground and take the ferry as a day trip.
Summer demand in Rhode Island is compressed and intense. With fewer than 15 RV-accessible campgrounds in the entire state, competition for sites in July and August is significant. The booking window fills fast. Booking 3–4 months ahead is the minimum for any summer weekend stay.
Rhode Island state park campgrounds book through ReserveAmerica. Burlingame (Charlestown) and Fishermen's Memorial (Narragansett) are the two primary state park campgrounds with hookup sites. Both fill completely for summer weekends and open reservations in January.
Charlestown Breachway is one of the most sought-after sites in the Northeast. Direct ocean access with a primitive campsite right on the barrier beach. Very limited sites, no hookups, and a reservation system that fills within minutes of opening each January. A self-contained unit is required.
Newport is not RV-accessible for overnight parking. Newport's roads, particularly Ocean Drive and Bellevue Avenue, are narrow and have no RV parking options. Base camp at Melville Ponds Campground or a Charlestown-area campground and drive or rideshare into Newport.
Rhode Island has a nightly camping fee structure that is relatively high by New England standards. State park hookup sites run $35–$50/night depending on amenities. Budget accordingly for multi-night stays.
Popular RV Parks and Campgrounds in Rhode Island
Though the intense urban strictures and land use regulations inside the Providence/Cranston/Warwick area make it impossible for RV parks and campgrounds to exist, these facilities are available within an easy drive of the city centers.
Ginny-B Campground is one of the favorites for Rhode Islanders and visitors. The campground reserves 75 of its 225 sites for temporary visitors. The campground is adjacent to an 18-hole golf course and has two softball diamonds, a basketball court, a volleyball court, and a playground inside its borders.
Also in the Foster area is the Whippoorwill Family Camping facility. This campground occupies a swath of acres hidden away amongst a forest of trees. All 150 sites enjoy full hookups with 30-amp electric service. There is a swimming pond and an 18-hole mini-golf course making this one of the favorites for kids.
RV campers who seek the salt air along the Narragansett Bay find a welcome amongst the 100 tree-shaded sites at the Melville Pond Campground. These sites accommodate the largest rigs. Each campsite offers a full hookup with a choice of 30-amp or 50-amp service. Cable TV and WiFi elevate the standards for this campground above rustic and well into modern. Restrooms, showers, a laundry facility, and a camp store allow visitors to extend their stay.
