Best Camping in South County, Rhode Island

South County, the state’s southernmost region, is home to gorgeous beaches, lush farms, and tons of fresh seafood. You’ll want to carve out a whole day to explore Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge, where you can kayak or wade through the salt pond.

Block Island is a short ferry ride away, but very worth the trip from Port Judith. Not only does the island boast some of the most lovely white sand beaches you’ve ever seen, but also charming little streets, dramatic cliffs and scenic nature trails – you can even rent a moped to zip around in if you like. The 200-foot Mohegan Bluffs offer stunning views of the Atlantic; or take the sandy hike to the North Lighthouse, built in 1867.
