Wawaloam Campground

Campground in Richmond, RI • 128 RV Sites

Wawaloam Campground in Richmond, Rhode Island, offers 128 RV sites across roughly 100 wooded acres in South County, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet behind a gated entrance. Categories are named for exactly what they carry — water and electric, water and electric with a pad, water and electric with sewer — alongside a water park, splash pad, mini-golf, and a 287-foot waterslide. One hundred twenty-eight back-in sites span water-and-electric, water-and-electric 30/50-amp, water-and-electric 30/50-amp with pad, water-and-electric 30/50-amp with sewer, and Safari categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Describing each category by its hookups rather than a marketing tier is refreshingly plain — you know whether you are getting sewer before you book. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a snack bar handle the practical side. A water park, splash pad, and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with the signature 287-foot waterslide as the centerpiece. Mini-golf, a recreation center, craft room, ball field, basketball, a pond, playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest, with fishing, swimming, and planned activities through the season. The campground has served families in one of southern New England's quietest corners since the 1960s, and its Good Sam and TripAdvisor ratings reflect a loyal returning base. Newport, the South County beaches, and Mystic are all within reach. Summer is decisively the season in Rhode Island. Reserve well ahead.
