The best camping near Burlingame State Park guide

Overview

About

Burlingame State Park, with its picture perfect pond, wooded shores, and trails galore, could be the setting for your favorite all-American summer camp movie. Surrounding beautiful Watchaug Pond, there is a camping area and 29-acre wildlife sanctuary (perfect for birders!). Beneath the blue, you’ll find a solid stock of largemouth bass that can be reached via convenient boat ramps. Hang out on the fresh water beach, or make a pit stop at Dave’s Coffee just up road the and drive 10 minutes to some of RI’s prettiest oceanfront spots. Booze is banned here, so be sure to pack some Solo cups and keep the liquid contraband on the DL.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Burlingame State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months bring warmth and a full bloom of park life, but also larger crowds. Winters can be brisk, offering a quiet, frosty landscape for those who prefer solitude. Avoid holiday weekends if you're looking for a peaceful retreat.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's official website for any alerts on closures or safety advisories before your visit.
  • Ensure you have a map of the park, as cell service can be spotty in remote areas.
  • Wear appropriate footwear for hiking and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated.
  • Respect wildlife habitats by observing from a distance and not feeding the animals.
  • Take advantage of the available facilities, including picnic areas and restrooms, to make your visit comfortable.
