Bring your furry friend along on your next Rhode Island camping trip.
Camping is often more fun when you can bring your pets along. Fortunately for Rhode Island adventurers, the state is largely pet-friendly. Most state beaches allow leashed dogs to visit from October through March, while those on Block Island are open to four-legged guests year-round. Burlingame State Park, Fishermen's Memorial State Park, and George Washington State Park campgrounds allow up to two dogs or cats per campsite at the campgrounds, but all pets must be friendly and up to date on rabies shots (carry proof to be safe). Pets must also remain leashed at all times for everyone's safety (including that of the wild animals who call Rhode Island's state parks home). If you have a voice command-trained pet who might enjoy doing a bit of running around, leash-free, you may prefer considering a private pet-friendly Hipcamp instead—options range from off-grid tent campsites to family log cabins.
