There’s also a dump station if you need to empty your tanks and laundry facilities for when your clothes need a good washing. While there are plenty of parks to enjoy within walking distance, the campground also has a large grassy field where you can play games with the kids or walk your four-legged friend.When you camp in an RV near Middletown, RI, you’ll be uniquely positioned for exploring the rest of the state. Providence, the cultural and economic center of Rhode Island, is only a 45-minute drive from Meadowlark Campground.

The Great Outdoors

If Newport, Rhode Island has one thing to offer its visitors, it’s an abundance of green spaces. Scattered around the Newport area are no less than three state parks, four city parks, a wildlife refuge, and several public beaches. If you’re looking to spend some time outside when you rent a travel trailer near Meadowlark Campground, Brenton Point State Park should be one of your first stops. Sitting on the grounds once occupied by one of Rhode Island’s wealthiest residents, Brenton Point is a popular spot for hiking, fishing, and picnicking. The Castle Hill Lighthouse is just a short walk away too, as is Kings Beach.Rhode Island is also one of the best places in New England to do some cycling too. Lengthy rail trails encircle Narragansett Bay thanks to the extensive rail network that connected New England before the age of automotive transportation. One of the best trails is the East Bay Bike Path, running between Providence and the town of Bristol – nearly 15 miles. Bike rentals are available throughout southern Providence if you don’t have your own.If you want to get out on the water, there are a few different outfitters around Narragansett Bay renting stand up paddleboards and kayaks. Goat Island, Prudence Island, and Conanicut Island are favorite paddling spots, especially the area around Fort Wetherill State Park on Conanicut. Stick close to shore though as the weather can change at any time and churn up rough seas.

Exploring the City

One of the most popular activities in Newport is to simply take a stroll along the cliffs east of the downtown area. Behind the cliffs sit some of the most spectacular homes from America’s Gilded Age; with names like “The Breakers,” “Rosecliff,” and “Marble House,” these mansions ooze opulence and a level of wealth only written about in The Great Gatsby. Lavish homes aside, the cliff walk offers some spectacular views of the Atlantic that make it a hotspot for marriage proposals.For good shopping, head down to Thames Street in the middle of Newport. This is where you’ll find some of the town’s best coffee shops, dining establishments, and souvenir stores. Sure it’s a little touristy, but you can’t get an RV rental in Newport and not spend some time wandering Thames Street. Not far away is the International Tennis Hall of Fame, an ode to the game and the culture that surrounds it. Thousands of pieces of memorabilia deck the walls, including rackets, outfits, and even a few courts to play on. Like the nearby mansions, the museum exudes a sense of wealth and privilege, making it an interesting visit, even for non-fans.Also nearby is the Museum of American Illustration, which covers various forms of graphical design and artwork in books, magazines, and newspapers. Many of the illustrations are government-commissioned works, included World War II propaganda pieces that exhibit the intersection of history and art. It’s housed inside a historic building inspired by the Palace of Versailles in France, so it’s also a unique treat for architecture fans.


Whether you’re on or off the grid, you have options when it comes to powering your RV. Here are the pros and cons for each.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
