Take This Outdoorsy Weekend Getaway In Rhode Island To Get Off The Grid

Living in the second most densely populated state is an exhilarating experience at times, but let’s be honest. It also has its drawbacks. Sometimes you need to escape and find a little peace and quiet. What better way to have a calm and solitary weekend than in the gorgeous Rhode Island wilderness? This off the grid trip is the perfect answer.

One of the best aspects of camping in Burlingame State Park is its close proximity to Kettle Pond and Ninigret Wildlife Refuge just next door.

Optional: If you're trying to find some fresh produce, or simply want to stroll through some gorgeous gardens during your peaceful weekend, drive just up the road to the Fantastic Umbrella Factory while staying in Charlestown. You can have a fresh cup of coffee and reflect on your rugged outdoor weekend.
