Review & FAQ:
Burlingame State Park and Campground is a very popular outdoor recreational area close to Charlestown, Rhode Island.
You can come to the park on a day visit and enjoy a picnic or barbeque or bring a tent and spend a night or two under the stars. The park has a swimming beach and a boat launch, and you can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, and salt-water fishing.
Many people visit specifically to hike the 9.5-mile Campground Trail, which winds through 3,100 acres of rocky woodland in a loop around Watchaug Pond – the trail is also suitable for mountain bikers and trail runners. There are further hiking opportunities in the adjacent Kimball Wildlife Sanctuary.
