Planning a camping trip to Massachusetts or Rhode Island?

Before you pull into your campsite and unhook your RV, make sure your pantry is fully stocked.

Many scenic campgrounds are tucked away from major towns, so grabbing groceries ahead of time saves time and stress.

If you’re heading to Myles Standish State Forest at 194 Cranberry Rd, Carver, MA, or Normandy Farms Campground at 72 West St, Foxborough, MA, stock up in nearby Plymouth or Foxborough supermarkets.

Both spots are popular, and while they have small camp stores, selection is limited.

Over in Rhode Island, Fishermen’s Memorial State Park at 1011 Point Judith Rd, Narragansett, RI, offers seaside charm and great access to beaches.

There’s a grocery store about ten minutes away, but stocking up on essentials like breakfast foods, grill-ready meats, and snacks beforehand ensures more time relaxing by the fire.

For families heading to Bowdish Lake Camping Area, located at 40 Safari Trail, Chepachet, RI, plan a grocery stop in Providence before heading out.

The rural setting means fewer nearby stores.

Whether it’s fresh produce or marshmallows, filling your RV fridge before arriving helps keep your trip stress-free, well-fed, and focused on fun.
