Camping is a classic American pastime. It also means very different things to different people. While some prefer to set up a tent and sleep under the stars, others would rather sleep in a real bed. That’s why Melville Ponds Campground and RV Park is so popular — it has everything from rustic tent camping to Airstream glamping.
Melville Ponds Campground is located in Portsmouth, on Aquidneck Island.
The property is just a few miles from Newport and all the ocean beaches it has to offer, but you'll feel like you're a world away.
As one might assume, the campground sits on the edge of Melville Ponds.
The nearby watering hole makes everything seem especially serene.
You'll find all kinds of camping here, from tents to trailers...
... and there's even an entire RV park.
Every campsite comes with a fire ring, and you'll always have access to hot showers and WiFI.
But if you prefer a true glamping experience, you'll want to rent one of the trailers.
There's also a full three-bedroom, two-bathroom house you can rent on the property in case any kind of roughing it is off the table.
Melville Ponds is home to two Airstreams, the 1972 Airstream Ambassador and the 1977 Airstream Land Yacht.
Both rent for between $125 and $150 nightly, and they're ridiculously charming.
Both Airstreams can comfortably accommodate two guests.
You can book them directly through Airbnb.
Melville Ponds Campground is a beautiful place to relax in nature.
Whether you explore the area and visit Newport during your stay or just stick to the campground, you'll have a fantastic vacation.
