With a mix of seasonal residents and overnight travelers, the park provides a welcoming, community-centric atmosphere for all who visit.

Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the town of North Scituate, RI, the park sits within a dense forest canopy that provides ample shade and a sense of natural privacy for each site. The surrounding area is defined by the rural charm of Providence County, featuring rolling hills and the quiet presence of the nearby Scituate Reservoir.

Active travelers can take advantage of the large outdoor swimming pool, basketball courts, and volleyball areas.

Additional conveniences include a general store for camping essentials, clean laundry facilities, and a playground that keeps younger visitors engaged throughout their stay.

This proximity allows for easy visits to the Roger Williams Park Zoo or the WaterFire events downtown. Locally, visitors can enjoy the historic charm of Scituate or hike the trails at Snake Den State Park. Because of Rhode Island's compact size, even the famous Narragansett beaches and coastal attractions are within reach for a scenic day trip.

Not a bad campground. Was there seasonal. The place is kept in good condition for the most part. The problem is the manager. If he doesn't like you out you go. I call him a part time manager who spends about 3-4 hours a day in the office. If you have a problem after hours good luck getting help. No after hours contact. If you don't see it his way it's no way. Unfortunately I enjoyed my time there but manager showed me the door.

My husband and I were looking for a campground in Rhode Island that had cabins. We just didn’t feel like dragging our pop-up and doing all the setting up for this trip. The cabins, I believe, are all rustic which was fine. We stayed in the Doll House. It was very clean! As were the bathrooms right across the street! They look like they may have been recently painted. We did have to drive every morning down to the shower as it would be quite a long walk with all your stuff. They were also very clean! And so were the bathrooms down there! The few employees that were interacted with were all very friendly. The campground itself was clean. No broken down/abandoned campers. The sites are VERY close to each other!!!! So if you’re looking for privacy, you probably won’t get it. He happened to be there towards the end of September, it was Halloween weekend. So the only time there was a lot of people there was Saturday and Saturday night. The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet. I’m sure it gets very busy and crowded in the summertime. You do have to drive to get anywhere, but I mean that’s to be expected. We want to go back with our whole family and each of us will just rent different cabins. There are two separate entrances so be sure when you’re checking in you use the entrance where the office is not the one further down the street. The only reason I gave it four stars is because of the closeness of each of the campsites, and I wish they would put a Another bath house up at the top of the hill. Other than that, my husband and I totally enjoyed our stay and we will be going back!!

My family and I have been seasonal campers at Holiday Acres for seven years and love it here! The beach on the lake, fishing, relaxing, and the friends we’ve made over the years are all reasons why we love it here. The prices are reasonable and the sites are sizable compared to other locations with seasonal camping. There are bands and food trucks scheduled on weekends throughout the summer in addition to various activities for kids and adults. The kid’s rec hall is frequented by our son with games and tables to play cards and other games. Guests are allowed to visit and/or stay overnight for a fee. It’s a great place where a family can enjoy time together.
