I read the reviews and was excited to be in a state park on the water for such a reasonable price. I would personally refrain from reserving any of sites 54-65 (area 2) due to their slope if you are a rig that has a wheelbase longer than 7-10 feet or if leveling is ever a concern for your rig. While most of the sites in area 4 were level or level enough to get level - even for a big rig - we did note that many of the sites in the other areas were not. The water access is extremely limited, as are the views of the water. There isn't much 'to do' in the campground/park itself. There is road noise here kicking up early in the morning and into the evening - a surprising amount for the size of the road, but that is likely due to it being the only road to and from the local neighborhoods and marinas. We were directly across from the bathhouse, but since the park charges (quarters) for hot showers (cold, free outdoor showers also available there) that area wasn't very busy. Our site was a long pull-through with bushes/vegetation separating us from other campsites it was great. Area 4 provides 30A and water as well as dirt/grass pads. The sites in this loop are more 'rustic' than those in loops 1,2,3. Our stay in area 4 during weekdays in the summer was pleasant. Our rate ($45 + taxes/fees) is reflective of our non-Rhode Island resident status. We are already talking about returning next year. Only negative was the price for a shower, $1.25 for 6 minutes. There was nothing to indicated that that was actually a launch area though. The park had limited, tide dependent access to water for kayaks at the end of a long parking lot. While I didn't see any bicycle trails in the area, the roads are pretty quiet on while we were there (midweek) with very wide shoulders. Restaurants nearby and Newport and Narragansett a short drive. First time I saw that in a state park! State park beaches were pretty close with reasonable admission. Water pressure was a little ow but nothing that caused issues. We had a fire ring, table, 30 amp/Water and sewer. Our site was fairly level side to side but could be a challenge front to back. Most sites were in the open but you didn't feel you were too close to your neighbors.
