Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Burlingame State Park adventure.
Discover Burlingame State Park's natural beauty and outdoor fun.
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.
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.
