Sleeping under the stars and embracing the great outdoors are some of the perks of camping. But as idyllic as that sounds, mot everyone enjoys camping. Cooking over an open fire and sleeping on roots and rocks can bother even the most rugged at heart. If you're fond of the idea of going camping but not so keen on the hardships, these Rhode Island campgrounds are the perfect fit for you.
