The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) announces that four state campgrounds will open for the season on Friday, April 13. This year's opening of Burlingame, Charlestown Breachway, Fishermen's Memorial, and George Washington Memorial State Campgrounds coincides with the beginning of school vacation week, giving families an extra opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the South County and northern Rhode Island countryside. East Beach State Campground, in Charlestown, opens on Friday, May 25.
The campground openings in Charlestown and Narragansett give anglers in the southern part of the state a place to camp while awaiting the Saturday, April 14 opening of the trout fishing season. A number of anglers in northern Rhode Island traditionally camp at DEM's 100-acre George Washington Memorial Campground in Glocester, which every year opens for the season the evening before "Opening Day."
