Fort Getty Campground

Rhode Island


This pleasant 41-acre predominantly RV park occupies a pretty pocket of land on the west coast of Conanicut Island. There are 83 RV sites, 24 tent sites on a grassy field, a dock for fishing and a view of the squat Dutch Lighthouse. Follow RI 138 over the Newport Bridge and take the Jamestown exit, making your way to Fort Getty Rd.

Note: there is a minimum two-week stay for RVs and caravans. The park is open mid-May to September.
