Your next step
Rocky Point State Park (no overnight) is tent-only, so the rig question here is what you sleep in on the nights either side of it — most Rhode Island loops that include this stop are driven in a rented motorhome.
Nothing in Rhode Island is bookable today. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
