We liked this campground, but probably wouldn’t come back. It’s very peaceful and serene when empty and the lake is beautiful.Why wouldn’t we return?When we arrived it was empty, but 2 days later at the start of LDW it was completely full, the bathrooms were disgusting, and despite all the “rules” they had about curfew, small groups and social distancing, I didn’t see any being enforced.They have canoes for hire which is great, we thought it was a little steep at $50 + deposit.

I always enjoy this campground. The large rock fire pits are the best. Great park to take walks and ride your bike around.

This place is huge but it dosent feel like it. I think theres in excess of 300 various sized camp sites. No electricity at most of the sites Ive seen but that does not stop the fun. Showers are pay and pretty clean. Lake is nice for a kayak or canoe

The park itself is really pretty. Woodsy, shady sites with a fire pit and a picnic table. No water, no electric. Pay showers were available with portajons and real flush toilets (They kept both pretty clean). The lake was beautiful though the beach access was tiny. The sites are right on top of one another though. Because of Covid they had every other neighbor site closed so that was great. Under normal circumstances it wouldve been way too tight. The best thing about this campground was the proximity to some great beaches. East Beach was literally a 5 minute drive. You cant beat that.

Burlingame state park is a large state park with a lot of campsites and great facilities.What I loved is- Theres a lot of sites that have great privacy- The sites are quite well maintained- The location of the cabins is great. Some of them almost have a private beach. Especially the L, M, N.- Theres a lot to do for the kids- Park is not too far from a decent urbanish area.A couple of things I didnt like- Toilets and shower can be a bit of a walk. Although they have porta potties at regular distances- The information on trails and activities wasnt as great- There isnt much terrain, so dont have a lit of hiking. But its due to the location and less due to park itself.

Felt very safe. Bath house was very clean. The camp store had everything you could want or need. Friendly staff. Beautiful lake for swimming.

The park was very calm and peaceful. The other campers we encountered were kind and also practiced social distancing. The staff was nice and the camp store even had decent iced coffee!

Decent camping weekend. Wouldn’t come back though unless I had to. Grounds were nice, bathrooms well kept, and the camp store had good supplies.Something to note - if you are looking for a quiet and/or secluded weekend away, this campground is not the place. Lots of big families, multi-car/multi-tent sites all pretty close together. Also the swimming area was completely packed by 10AM.Friday afternoon we saw lots of patrolling happening by staff, but they disappeared come sundown. So, Friday night was extremely loud, there were large groups up and about with music bumping past 1AM. Saturday and Sunday night were much, much quieter.Also, if you are concerned about potential COVID transmission like I am, it’s pretty astonishing to see Friday afternoon check-in so chaotic and unorganized. People flooding the parking lot with no face coverings, people smoking in line, not maintaining 6ft. and there were no staff outside of the building to coordinate any such protocols. Also, I only saw one other woman in my three nights of stay in the 500 loop bathroom who wore a mask in there. Very disheartening, but that part is not the campground’s fault.

Very nice and clean beach. One of my fav campgrounds

The park is nice; bath house was clean.The firepit is just a circle of stones, so make sure you bring your own grill or camp stove. Water is a good distance from a lot of the sites, but they have strict rules about washing dishes at the spigot and camp sites, yet theres no other place to do that. Also, we went during COVID...theyre at half-capacity, but theyve clustered everyone together instead of spaced apart! Lots of people werent wearing masks in the store or in the bath house.I really wanted to like this place, but we ended up leaving the 2nd day - mostly because of people not respecting others space. Maybe when COVID goes away it will be a better experience.

I love this campground for what it is. There are no hookups or organized activities. Just hundreds of sites in one of the prettiest parts of RI. Fresh water fishing on site, saltwater not far away. Beaches, canoeing, hiking. Its awesome.

Went for a week with family and my 3 year old son and 10 year old nephew both whom never camped before, and it was amazing until the last night of our stay when a man who was also camping threatened us and another group of campers with knives saying he was going to kill us. It took park rangers too long to get to our site and when they did come all they could do was tell him to stop is what they told us. The park rangers were so young and scared. 911 was called and the man was arrested but after that we were packing to leave right then and was told to be quiet and get to sleep by park rangers which to me is rude we were scared to death and so were the Kids which we were trying to calm down, my niece and her boyfriend were so scared they had the police escort them off the property and left and we were definitely leaving also. Never been so scared in my life and none of the kids want to ever camp again and I don’t think I do either.

Lovely campground with tons of space for camping. The only drawback is that the fire pits dont have grills. On the other hand theyre large so you can make an amazing fire at night!

Loved it, alot of out of state plates. But spread out

It is a beautiful place. If you dont mind noise most of the night then you will love it. We were just there for Labor Day weekend 2020. The wardens drive around all day but seem to disappear at night. The first 2 nights the people a few sites from us partied until around 3:30 AM. Loud music and foul language. We talked to several other folks from other areas and they had similar issues. We will not go back.

Nice little beach on the pond. Endless hiking trails in the area. A great escape.

If you are looking for outdoor natural isolation, this is not it. However for an affordable weekend near the beach, this place rocks. The staff runs a fairly tight ship and campers are polite and generally behaved. No Alcohol is allowed which helps maintain the family nature of the campground.

Love this place! Staff is always friendly and helpful! All facilities and sites are always clean. Been coming here for almost twenty years! Will continue for at least twenty more!

The wife and I stayed here a few years back as did several other friends/couples. We had a great time. We played a lot of volleyball. Alcohol is not allowed here, although I know people were able to sneak in some delightfully enjoyable drinks. I also know people had their beer confiscated at the gate. It is a nice, tranquil setting, away from the city.The weekend was enjoyable and I would definitely come back here again in the future, especially if we can get the whole crew synced up to all meet here together again...Good times

The shower houses are disgusting. There is no privacy or space between sites. The beach area is like something of ghetto. It looks like South Providence. The rangers take their jobs way too seriously and will think nothing of ripping your kids out of sleep at 7am. Good luck. Its a dump and the managers are awful. The kid that checked me in didnt even check my drivers license. Also the place houses level III sex offenders.

WARNING: This campground is a public health disaster. There was an hour long line at check-in this Friday. Mask wearing was at most at 40%. Many 20-30 years old were socializing in large groups and not wearing masks. Once on the campground, people are treating the campground like their own homes. I did not see a mask once, not even INSIDE the bathroom facilities. While the campground is well maintained and the facilities are cleaned, the behaviors surrounding social distancing and mask wearing are disastrous.

Been coming here since I was a kid. Nothing like a campfire with family and friends. Next time I may want to make sure all the tent polls are in the bag before driving 1.5 hours to the campground. Got a new tent out of the deal. All in all a good time.

Its a great campground. Its right near the beaches and it a very relaxing place to be in my opinion.

Great family fun (even though game room was closed) reservation system makes it fair for everyone to experience camping. Very clean ,coin operated shower (hot H2O) good for children to be without electricity!!

Its a very big Campground I liked it a lot but I wish there was more directions at different turns to find campsites.

Great campground with lots of room in most sites, and reasonable privacy between sites. Staff is friendly and helpful. Prices seem steep for an outsider, but (were discovering) typical for New England.

Great time camping with my dogs too

The facility itself is wonderful and going on the last week open in October we found the camp mostly empty. If this review was only about my camp site and time it would be a 5. Unfortunately on our last night we had noticed an error in booking. We had thought and verbally confirmed we would leave on Saturday morning but found out Friday that we actually got booked one day short. Instead of the staff working with us or trying to accommodate the fact it was late in the afternoon and we had all of our stuff un packed we were told we could only pack up and leave or find a new site. The staff was very rude and would not allow us any understanding. We had planned and had thought we had booked 8 nights, it was unfortunate that the only response park staff could give us was get out of my park. Disappointing end but if you dont have any bureaucratic issues its a wonderful campground.

A few years ago a group of 7 of us camped here. Everyone had a great time, and would definitely camp here again. It is located close to the beach which is also a great benefit if you want to enjoy camping and going to the beach in the same trip!

Terrible experience, will never go there again. Line for check in was about 30-40 min. They offer nothing on site, better off camping in your backyard. All workers are on a power trip and they’re waiting and eager to catch you. We had one can of trulys out and we got kicked out and the police called for an “altercation “ when nothing really happened. There is a lot of better campsites than this. Would not recommend to anyone.

My family and I absolutely love this state park for camping! It’s peaceful, beautiful, we hike and explore trails, bike, canoe, go to the onsite beach and the surrounding beaches. You do pay for showers. We make at least 2 trips here every summer. Definitely a Rhode Island favorite for us.

Great place to camp and let the kids have fun. The shower situation is not as great as it could be... but its camping. The mountain biking and road biking in the area is a nice feature for me, the relatively short trip to ocean beaches was also good.The Burlingame Bridges path was nice but still muddy in small sections.

Great experience, nice location, weather and commute to the beach. Get up in the morning and go to the beach. Need more stalls and bathing spots as it tends to get busy at the site we were. I think there are renovations planned and until then they have port a potty that are all over the park. The sites are a bit close especially if you get one in the middle as you will be sharing the 3 sides with the other camp sites. I did get network so it is quite easy if you need to be accessible. Very busy on 4th July weekend. The camp store was pretty good and had everything we needed including my new favorite pop corn tray.

Nice campsites and not many people mid-week after Labor day.

My only complaint is how close the sites are to one another. Other than that its a beautiful location with good amenities

Very nice sandy pine forest very close to pristine ocean beaches. Large lots but do some research to find mixed shade/sun sites.

Had a great time camping here, although they are alil pricey $36.00 per camp it may vary tho

Clean facilities. Nice lake. Quiet camping. Camp store was stocked up and staff was freindly.

I had to satisfy my morbid curiosity about whether camping on a holiday weekend is truly as bad as other reviewers say. Portajohns were cleaned daily, so that was good. Campground rules were entirely unenforced, I spent the 4th of July next to a couple adjoining sites with 6 cars, at least as many tents, beer pong, sweet tunes and no bedtime.

Way cool I was Geocaching and great place for this.

This park is not a good place to be alone or isolated. Campsites are right on top of each other and there is zero privacy. I just spent the night there and our campsite was right in front of the bathrooms and on the road. All night I could hear toilets flushing and children screaming. Cars continuously woke me up in the night from driving.Another thing that upset me was after my boyfriend and I went on a 7.5 mile bike ride, I tried to take a shower and realized that showers cost money. It is 75 cents for a 3 minute shower. I have never been to a campground that charges people to shower, and of course we didnt have quarters. Yesterday was very hot and humid and honestly if I knew that I had to pay for a shower I wouldnt have gone on the ride. I had to use water bottles because there was no faucet to grab water from, at least not near me. I was just very uncomfortable and overall the experience wasnt that great. It might be good for someone else, but just check on the website and be prepared if you do come to the park.

Its gorgeous and love that theres a freshwater lake and beach on site as well as being couple miles from Misquamicut Beach! $36 for sìte to use tents campers, cars,etc., Theres no reason to get the upgrade here tho! Cabins=Same size as a garden shed w 2 sets of bunk beds& a porch! One thing they should work on

Great campground, facilities are always clean, staff is friendly, and its so big its basically a small town of campers!

Great camping in a great area near a lake and minutes away (by car) from the beach. Clean restrooms, our space was a good size, wish it was a bit more private but we’ll pick a better one next time. There is variety of types of spaces so lots of choice.

This is a beautiful wooded park with huge campsites. There was one good trail but no dog friendly beach here. That said, there are serious issues here: Despite incessant ranger patrols and an alcohol ban, sites were packed by groups--7 tents at one, 3 trailers at another, the rule more than the exception, so that people and dogs often got into altercations. One unleashed so many F-bombs, in an area with 20 or so children present. The cleaning schedule is erratic, 7 one morning, 9:30 the next, so that its not only hard to manage morning necessities, but hard to believe how filthy the bathrooms are. At the price they charge they should do better.

Loved how they have taken measures to insure social distancing

Beautiful campground. Clean bathrooms. Love this place.

Very clean grounds, security does checks every 40 min, awesome friendly staff at the store!! Perfect family campground, close to RI beaches!!

Great place to camp. Very clean

Rented a campsite for 2 weeks with husband and grandchildren...night time can be pretty wild here...had a group of campers down in the beach area decide to party all night... was continually awakened by fowl language and loud laughing and other mischief all night...finally after trying to make numerous calls to the office, where there was nothing but a recording, I decided to get in my car and drive down to the office...found all the doors wide open, no one inside anywhere, and no cars around...gate was open, doors open, no one home...this place seems like a free-for-all except you must wear a mask and social distance during the day... what a joke!!!this is not a family place.

The only downside was they didnt have any electricity or water. Besides that it is an absolutely great place to stay

Campground is awesome! Good and Safe place to take your family.Perhaps, I will give one STAR to the showers.

Beautiful family friendly place good atmosphere the kids love it and the water is pretty clean we enjoy it

Covid-19 has some perks believe it or not. Best visit Ive ever had there. Weve been camping there on and off since 1982. The place is not crowded, the bathroom in my area (400) was very clean...at all times. I never waited in line for the showers or restroom. Shower curtains Clean! WOW! There are four(4) showered stalls in the 400 area facilities building. One handicap stall 3 regular. The #2 showerhead was normal, water hot. Great if your camping on cooler nights. The #3 showerhead was so strong it would damage your eyes if you didnt blink in time. It actually hurt my face, super uncomfortable but again, nice hot water. The #4 showerhead left you trying to catch the water. The showerhead sprays AROUND you. Nearly impossible to rid yourself of any lather and suds. Nice hot water with normal spray pressure. Boring info unless your in need of it. Fore warned is fore armed.

Place looks nice and cozy with FLIES!!! Just too many flies.. its unbearable. Because you ate something one might say, but no. No food just water and soda...

Love this place. Its in a beautiful wooded area near a lake but it also has amenities such as a store and restrooms. They offer educational programs too. Its located close to the beach. Ive visited this place many years now and will keep coming back into the future. Book in advance to get a cabin - they look cozy.

Love this campground, always have. Great sites, great array of activities.

Love this place. Great spot for the family.

Great park with easy rules. Very clean and always open!

Camped here for many years and have never had a bad experience. If you have any issues or concerns they take care of it.

First time campers. Nice, clean place

Love this campground, always something to do, or nothing!

Horrible experience, staff was extremely rude to my family and i, we were forced to leave over me and my wife enjoying a glass of wine as there was plenty of partys with lots of alcohol going on next to us, so why we were chosen out of the crowd beats me, not only did the staff kick us out, they had my uncles car towed illeagly claiming the plates didnt match the car they did match the car was registered they refused to give us a refund and even screamed out of anger when we asked about the car they practically stole from us, I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS CAMPGROUND TO ANYONE OF ANY AGE my kids are devistated that we had to leave and the embarrassment of getting yelled at by camp staff was uncalled for

I had good experience on there. Nice and clean, peaceful

Very nice family camp ground..

Its a great place to go camping and enjoy the area. Apparently there is also a haunted campsite? Spooky! And cool!

Great place to camp

Always a good time here

Large park offering many miles of well-marked and enjoyable single-track trails (especially when combined with adjacent areas such as Kimball, Ninigret, Burlingame Management Area), a public beach open for swimming in the summer, and hundreds of campsites. Great area all-around, many possible activity opportunities.

Great little place for a get away.

Full place to hang out. Beach and water are clean. Plenty of picnic tables.

I love it!! Burlingame State Park reminds me very much similar with where I grew up going camping every summer at Terra Nova Provincial Park in Newfoundland, Canada but Burlingame offers much more. Better summer temperature, near the ocean beach, I like when alcohol is not allowed, 24/7 facilities and security that we need. I would love going back that campground again. Perfect for families, friends, kids, and mediation. Its just perfect!

We took a camping here. Awesome place for enjoying your peaceful vacation

Cool spot! Nice camping.

Its a wonderful campground and very well cultivated. Keep in mind it is VERY packed. Im a Backcountry camper and this was vastly different from what I usually like. However, Im always up for something new and Burlingame definitely provided. Plenty of diverse camping spots, friendly staff, and cheap firewood. Its a great campground and worth at least trying once.P.S. if you have bikes, dont make my mistake and leave them at home

Really is excellent place for the family... and clean area

Beautiful place. No power. No water at site. No sewer for campers. There are at least 2 different dump stations. Bathrooms and porta potties everywhere. A nice beach, arcade, good playground, boat launches and a camp store that has alot and not too over priced.. the campground is really clean and the sites are big...

Great family time, and lots of fun spending quality time without all the electronics.

Great camping ground, highly recommend!

Nice simple camping area with pay showers. They really jumped the price for out of state campers so we wont be coming back as much. Apparently a lot of other campers feel the same because it was a ghost town the week before labor day.

Loved every peaceful minute!

Beautifully secluded and peaceful!!!

Great park, all the amenities!

My kids love this place the best fo camping

Mostly empty, quiet right by small beach. Huge park.

Great family campground.

Half the parking lot was shut down for Covid distancing, and beach limitations. The water was its normal reddish brown, less than 30 people at noon on a Monday.

Burlingame has a beautiful campground with a lake for swimming and boating, marina, hiking trails, and a picnic area with a pavilion and BBQ grills. All of the campsites are primitive, no hookups, but theres plenty of space and trees for shade. I was there in the middle of the week at the end of August and there were very few campers. A nice place to get away from it all. Campsites are $18/night for Rhode Island residents, but out of state residents last double, which is a lot for a primitive campsite. The camp store was reasonably well stocked and had good coffee.

I camp here every year, but the showers need updating on the main camp. A water spicket would be more efficient than the showers there, and there is zero privacy.

Beautiful place! Warm clean water, picnic table and places to grill. Simply beautiful!

Good price close to the beach great for all ages movie night etc fun here

Great park for the kids, activities provided for all ages, two age group playgrounds, lake with small boat ramp and beach. Most of the sites are not secluded but a few provide privacy if your lucky enough to find them. The showers are 3 quarters for 3 minutes, no option for cold. Free water at fill-up spots around the park. Clean and kept up.

Great place for camping!!

Love this place! Been camping there for the last 10 years and theres never any issue. Its quiet and it has CLEAN bathrooms

Good camp spot near beaches. The campsites were clean and all had firepits from what i could tell. Be sure to bring plenty of quarters for the showers as we found local stores not able to provide change.

Nice larger sites. Prefer going off season when not as crowded. Could do a better job maintaing the facilities...especially the showers.

Personally the best camping trip Ive ever experienced I loved this place others might have a different opinion but I made some amazing and unforgettable memories here however there is a no drinking policy but.. yeah if ure looking to drink u can get away with it pretty easily

Only took one star because of the noise restrictions

Six cousins (aged 15-20) on their first camping experience without an adult/parent - no alcohol, before quiet hour of 10 pm, so even if they were being a bit noisy, which they werent, should not be an issue, were harassed by a park ranger - sadly they did not get his name or Id share it - who used profanity, threat of a fine, eviction, revoking privileges for the remaining season, and waking them at 6:00 a.m. the next morning to kick them out...all for burning the dead wood found in the woods of the campground, but mostly, my guess, is because he is a bully and they were young.I have combed the 21 page manual, which I recommend you read before visiting this campground/park, and spoken to the manager, Kyle, who was awesome by the way, and there is no posting other than in the office re: the use of dead wood in the park.This ranger was unprofessional! We will not visit this campground again and we will not, do not recommend this site to anyone that is going to be without an adult or someone that is comfortable enough to speak up for themselves.

Beautiful area and pond
