The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) recently announced that three state campgrounds will open for the season on Friday, April 10.
The annual opening of Charlestown Breachway, Fishermen’s Memorial, and George Washington Memorial State Campgrounds aligns with spring school vacation and trout fishing season, offering families a chance to enjoy Rhode Island’s outdoors.
East Beach State Campground will open Friday, May 22. Campers can book their stay at a RI State Campground at riparks.ri.gov/campgrounds.
Burlingame State Campground is expected to open later in May due to ongoing work to complete a modernization project for its showers and restrooms. As a result, the release of reservations for the 2026 camping season at Burlingame will be delayed.
