So much potential, but what a dump. I've been a full-time RVer for 2 years and this is one of the most expensive parks I've ever stayed at. But hey, it's Newport, right? Wrong - you're actually in Middletown/Portsmouth here, about 20 minutes from Newport. The amenities and sites are honestly fine - the problem is the people. There are people living here in cars. Our neighbor has a run-down pop-up camper that is literally taped together with duct tape and tarps. He doesn't need it though, because he lives in his PT Cruiser right next to his camper with his abused and malnourished dog. What a beautiful sight to behold on a daily/nightly basis at this price. Absolutely ridiculous. Don't stay here unless you enjoy living in a homeless encampment.

Nice little campground about 6-miles outside of Newport, RI. The spaces aren't very private, but lots of grass and a decent place to launch a day into Newport and the surrounding area. Very few amenities, although we did do our laundry there and the washers were fantastic.

This spot was a fine place to explore Newport but WAY overpriced. I was there in the off season so it was $65 a night, but even that was much more than it should be. Spots were fine and there is a city dog park and trails right there. I had plenty of Verizon signal to work without my booster. The bathrooms were gross and the motion light turned off while I was in the shower. If it was a more reasonable price I would recommend it, but the crazy upcharge it too much.

We stayed here during the week - the place was quiet, well kept and filled with respectful families who followed quiet hours. We stayed in one of the better sites since it was shaded and semi private. We felt there was enough room to be comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much- the campground is very centrally located, close to the beach, Newport and the rail trail in Bristol. We would definitely stay here again.

We arrived following the website instructions and signage for our two nights stay. Our GPS wanted to have us turn on Bradbury by a school, which would have been fine too. The office was closed but our arrival package was in the check in box. We proceeded to FHU site 107, which we had chosen online. We had a tough back-in on the corner. Thank goodness the site across the street was empty and we could pull into it and maneuver into our site. The site was just long enough for our 39’ fifth wheel. WiFi and Cable worked well. We got 3 bars on Verizon and 1 bar on AT&T. There were a lot of shade trees so doubtful we could have used our satellite. Melville pond was a nice campground (CG) with a state park type feel. The CG was in the city but you would not know it. There was a trail from the campground that led to community recreation trails and a nice-sized dog park just outside the CG. The CG has seasonal and plenty of short-term sites. If you are a tent camper they have separate area from the RV sites with very nice sites by a little stream. The CG also had propane and firewood for sale. Upon departure from site 107, we had to pull across the site into the road that leads to the tent camping and back out on to the main CG road in order to make the turn on the corner. Be careful chosing a site with anything over 40' in the treed area. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

you are 15 mins north of Newport.....you are in middle of a wood park. Our campsite was very private and in a dense woods area. Great little park. Would definitively stay again. So you can be in the quiet or within 15 mins you can enjoy the marinas and beaches of Newport. Great location, great park.

The campground, owners and occupants were great!
The sites are small stone base and leveled, nice firepits and picnic tables at each.
With the virus at the moment, they're only taking self contained units, but they are open!
Give them a call!
Just a short drive to Newport!
I know we'll be back!

The shower rooms are really nice and they are close to a dog park. We drove into Newport to walk the Cliff Walk which is beautiful. We spent an afternoon at Newport Vineyard which was really fun.

Campsite 214 is by far one of the best campsites we have had in a longtime. The camp hosts were super friendly and inviting. Our campsite was nestled in the back corner between trees. It was a quiet nights rest and felt as if we were the only ones in the park. The sites are level and fairly large. The bathhouse was clean and showers had good pressure. We had shared with the camp hosts that we came from a KOA the night before and had a bad experience. To our surprise when we were setting up our trailer they had delivered a bundle of wood on the house and some magic color for the kids to enjoy their night. Those little touches will be remembered! Put this campground on your list for a true camping experience.

This is the loudest campground I’ve ever been to. College kids threw a monster party, keeping the entire place awake all night & management lost control. Definitely not recommended!!! Worst camping experience in years.
