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

You can contact the campground directly, email DEM.RIparks@dem.ri.gov, or call RI State Parks Headquarters at 401-667-6200 for any questions regarding a campground or our polices prior to booking 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.

All reservation policies and restrictions apply to Internet customers.

SANITIATION RESTRICTIONS FOR EAST BEACH CAMPGROUND

Due to the environmentally sensitive location of this campground, every camping unit must contain manufacturer installed, permanent holding tanks for potable water, grey water, and black water. Any aftermarket installations may require additional documentation prior to camping at this facility. Such documentation should be from the aftermarket installer certifying that the system meets these requirements. If you are unable to confirm that your camper and sanitation system has met this requirement or are otherwise unable to obtain documentation confirming this requirement, it is recommended that you make reservations at one of our other Rhode Island State Campgrounds. If a camping unit has been found to be in violation of these requirements while staying at the campground or upon entry into the campground, the camping permit will be voided, and no refund will be offered.

I understand that in order to camp at this campground, my camping unit has met these sanitation requirements.
