Swanson's Farm
1 site · RV, Tent33 acres · West Greenwich, RI
We have a pretty magical farm in rural West Greenwich. We are only about 10 mins from I-95 but we are nestled in the woods. Fall asleep to the sound of crickets and cicadas and wake up to birds chirping and our rooster crowing . It is certainly a peaceful, quiet, private area. Our site has a waste-bag toilet (must take waste with you), an extension cord and a sink. The site is located in a quiet field where you will often find deer grazing in the morning and afternoon.
We are a young farming family. Our dream is to build a cidery on this property in future years. We have started to plant our orchard with cider apple varieties, about 650 dwarf apple trees, and we are also growing some flowers and squash at the moment. We currently have six pigs and nine chickens on the farm. Eggs and cuts of pork are available for purchase, just ask! Feel free to walk around the farm, just be respectful, don't leave anything behind, and be aware that some areas have poison ivy (the field where you are staying does not have any).

The Sandbox Campground
3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents12 acres · Groton, CT
The Sandbox campground was born from The Sandbox Indoor Beach Sports and Events facility, which mainly focuses on providing year round beach volleyball.
We bought the property in 2015 and opened the facility in 2019.
As it happens, it's a 12+ acre lot surrounded by wetlands, hiking and biking trails ... there will never be another building built within view of our facility.
We are surrounded by nature, and will be forever.
So what a great opportunity to offer camping and access to all of the forests, woodlands, wetlands and trails around! And if you're up for it, come play some beach volleyball and meet new lifelong friends :)

Milk Thistle Farm
3 sites · Tents5 acres · Greene, RI
With the original home built in 1785, Milk Thistle farm is on the historic register and is comprised of the main house and 5 acres of land. It is run as a small homestead sanctuary and is home to rescued chickens, goats, and pigs, as well as two humans and their dog and cat companions. The main property is fenced in, with a large back field great for tent camping, and an orchard to explore that can also double as hammock camping. There is parking for cars, bikes, and perhaps a camper but tent camping is best suited. We try to minimize our impact on the environment as much as possible, and encourage our guests to compost, recycle, and dispose of waste accordingly. Please note we have dogs, including a Livestock Guardian Dog that does bark to alert us of new people and warn off would be predators. We will happily introduce him to any guests to minimize disruptions. Check us out on instagram @milk_thistle_farm

Camping near Montauk guide
Overview
It’s a long way to the far eastern end of Long Island, but more than 5,000 acres of natural beauty is a good incentive. With beaches and six state parks, including Camp Hero State Park and Montauk Point State Park, home to the historic Montauk Point Lighthouse, Montauk attracts surfers, anglers, nature lovers, and outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, biking, horseback riding, boating, and cross-country skiing. You can camp at Hither Hills State Park Campground, near the walking dunes of Napeague Harbor, and at Montauk County Park, but for more options, you can also go on a camping trip and head further west into Long Island.
Where to go
The Hamptons
Just west of Montauk, the Hamptons is popular among the well-heeled and celebrity set, particularly over summer weekends, drawn here by the glamorous beaches and vibrant culinary and nightlife scene. Stay close to the action with a stay at Cedar Point County Park in East Hampton, with picnic areas and hiking trails nearby. For a more rustic experience, park your RV on the outer beach at Cupsogue County Park or Shinnecock East County Park and go sport fishing for striped bass in the surf.
Fire Island
Further west, go car-free on Fire Island. The 32-mile long barrier island is largely protected by the Fire Island National Seashore, and offers 17 resort communities and plenty of white sand beaches. The Watch Hill Family Campground offers tent camping and glamping. Or camp in the backcountry at the Otis Pike Fire Island High Dunes Wilderness. Campers with RVs, trailers, or pop-ups should head to Smith Point County Park, the only campground on the otherwise car-free island you can drive to.
North Fork
The northeastern peninsula of Long Island is known for its many wineries and farms, including one of the largest lavender farms in the country. Explore charming seaside towns or beaches with access to the Long Island Sounds, Peconic Bay and Atlantic Ocean. The Indian Island County Park is one of a few campgrounds open year-round. You can also pitch a tent at Peconic River Campground, with sites for tents and RV camping with hookups.
When to go
Summer is the most popular time to visit Montauk. When the temperatures soar, so do the crowds. Avoid summer weekends if you can. Visit in early fall to beat the crowds while still enjoying nice weather. Winter is a good time to enjoy a quiet getaway, though many shops and restaurants and most campgrounds are closed in the offseason. Surfing is allowed in the winter at Montauk Point State. Striped bass fishing season usually starts in late spring and lasts through the fall.
Know before you go
- You can take the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) or the Hampton Jitney to get to Montauk, but you may want a car to get around on Long Island.
- Many Long Island parks and campgrounds require reservations in advance. Some campgrounds may only be reserved by county residents at certain times.
- Many beaches around Montauk require a permit for parking.
- Public campgrounds that are open during the off-season and outer beach camping are limited to self-contained campers and motorhomes. Tent camping is not permitted.
- Bring insect repellent. Mosquitos and ticks can be an issue, especially in summer.
