Where to Take Camping Trips Near Tiverton-Little Compton

Written by Kathleen Reilly

The simple life: Camping, with no television, no computers, no cellphones.

Well, maybe a cellphone.

While you might think throwing a sleeping bag in your yard counts as a campout, perhaps it’s time to consider a more adventurous exploit. Experiencing a night or two outdoors doesn’t necessarily warrant a lengthy car ride. It doesn’t even have to be an overnighter.

Nearby wilderness areas, nature preserves and hiking trails can supply your camping comrades with a full day of outdoor exploration, which may or may not include roughing it with outdoor cooking or an overnight stay in a tent or lean-to. 

In Tiverton, you can go camping nearby at the Westport Camping Grounds. 

A 100-site campground for tents and trailers located in heavily wooded terrain, amenities include water and electric on every site and sewerage hookup on most trailer sites. 

Family owned and operated for more than 35 years, Westport Camping Grounds offers a quiet and ​ safe haven in the shade of 33-acres of oaks, pines, and maple trees.
