RI/CT/Ma Camping grounds

I am planning on a few weekend camping trips next year in RI/CT/Southern MA, combined with diving, and want to book soon.

Can any of you guys recommend a good family friendly camping ground, waterfront access or proximity to good diving sites?

I have a tent, no trailer.

Cheers
Chris

I don't know the details but you should check out fishermans in Narragansett. Plenty of spots to dive right there and within minutes.

Near Newport (actually in Portsmouth), you have Melville Pond : http://www.portsmouthri.com/parksand...camp/index.php

There is a campground in Westport, MA that is pretty close to sakonnet :http://www.westportcampinggrounds.com/index.html

Ft. Getty in Jamestown. Sign up is April 1 of every year.

Nice, family friendly campground with incredible views. I hit bass shore diving from site. Great close access to whole of Conanicut Island

I visited FT Getty many times with my wife and kids.

Good luck, Noel.
