CHECK IN/OUT

Check In: 1:00 PM to no later then 10:00 PM

Check Out: 11:00 AM sharp. In order to prepare campsites for future guests, this check out time will be strictly enforced.

VEHICLES/CAR PASSES

There is a 2-vehicle maximum for all sites. Your reservation fee comes with one (1) vehicle (a drivable camping unit or the vehicle towing the camping unit). Any additional vehicle will automatically be assessed a $12 fee for a 2nd Car Pass which is required for entry to the campground. You will see this charge as Car x 1 in your list of 'Fees' in your reservation.

When registering the number of vehicles while making your reservation, list all drivable camping units or vehicles towing a camping unit. DO NOT register or count a camper or trailer that is being towed because it will prompt the system to charge for a 2nd Car Pass.

RI State Parks has adopted rules and policies to protect campground areas for future generations as well as for the convenience and safety of current visitors. It is the camper's responsibility to read and follow the campground rules and policies.

Please review RI State Parks Campground Policies prior to reserving your campsite.

Violation of any rule and/or regulation is grounds for revocation of the camping permit. If a permit is revoked, no refund will be issued. Any person or persons voided on a camping permit are not allowed to reenter any camping area for the duration of the camping season.
