Newport RV Park
Quick Facts
Why Portsmouth & Aquidneck Island
Portsmouth sits on Aquidneck Island alongside Newport and Middletown, founded in 1638 by religious dissident Anne Hutchinson and the second-oldest municipality in Rhode Island. The 10-mile Sakonnet Greenway Trail, the longest contiguous nature trail on the island, winds through farms and woodlands, while Rail Explorers offers pedal-powered cart rides along the old Newport & Narragansett Bay Railroad with views of Narragansett Bay.
Newport RV Park is a genuinely clean, well-maintained campground with easy access to Newport’s mansions and harbor — staff go out of their way to help even non-guests with local logistics, a good sign of the service you can expect as a guest.
