Thinking about visiting Rhode Island later this summer. Looking for suggestions on things to see/do. Campground recommendations. Have sent away for the tourist booklet.

Some things may not be doable with Covid but I would recommend:
Newport - mansions, The Cliff Walk, 7 mile drive, Thames St
Providence - WaterFire, good restaurants, tour the East Side, Roger Williams Park ( I love the greenhouses).
Great towns to explore: Westerly, Narragansett, Wickford Village, Jamestown.

I have stayed at Whispering Pines Campground.

If you're in RI you can easily tour Eastern CT (Mystic Seaport) and Southeastern MA (Battleship Cove in Fall River, Whaling Museum in New Bedford)

Not in Rhode Island, but if you go north out of Providence into Mass for a day trip, Sturbridge Village is an awesome historic attraction. Really worth the trip if you're that close.

Fishermen's memorial state campground in Narragansett. Tough to get a site this late in the season but maybe you can get in on a cancelation.

Beaches down the road, centrally located about 40 minutes drive give or take from Mystic Seaport, Ct & Newport RI.

If you bring road bikes you can ride them down to the ferry (5minutes away) and spend a day on Block island which has touristy shopping, restaurants, and of course biking. I believe you can also rent mopeds or bikes on block island. But its worth a day trip.

Hope this helps

You have got to visit Newport and see the mansions. You will not be disappointed. It is jaw dropping.
