Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and Marina

Fodor's Review:

With more than 100 acres of private beach along Newport's Back Bay, Newport Dunes is one of the poshest RV parks in the world. Although beachfront pull-in premium sites—complete with Wi-Fi and TV plus hookups to water, electricity, and sewer—are considerably larger (and less cramped) than those a few rows back, all sites are immaculately clean. There are a few sites for freestanding tents, as well as a handful of cottages with kitchens and porches that can accommodate up to six guests. At the Village Center you'll find a pool, a spa, and a convenience store, and the upscale Back Bay Bistro. Nonguests are able to access the park for day use to swim, surf or take a nature tour on a Segway. Pros: pristine campsites; courteous staff; L'Occitane products in cottage bathrooms. Cons: steep valet parking fees; located in busy (read: potentially loud) business district.

  • Hotel Details: 378 RV sites (55 allow tents), 24 cottages
  • In-hotel: restaurant, pool, laundry facilities, spa, beachfront, Internet terminal, Wi-Fi hotspot, bicycles, parking (paid).
  • Credit Cards: AE, D, MC, V
