For the smallest state in the US, Rhode Island has a lot to offer. With nearly 400 miles of coastline, you'll never get bored exploring Rhode Island's shores. Make sure this tiny but mighty state is on your New England road trip itinerary, perfect for exploring with a camper van rental from GoCamp.

The best way to explore Rhode Island is through its many parks and trails. There are 14 state parks covering more than 8,000 acres as well as four national wildlife refuges. There’s the gorgeous Beavertail State Park located in Jamestown with breathtaking views of Narragansett Bay, and the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge with rolling dunes, grasslands and marshes.

The Ten Mile River Greenway on the coast of Rhode Island is the perfect scenic place to explore nature, ride a bike, or jog with a beautiful ocean view. The path is actually three miles long and connects Slater Park in Pawtucket with other recreational spaces for runners or bikers that are looking for something different.

Spend a day on Block Island to see alluring lighthouses protected by towering bluffs. More than 17 miles of coastline give astounding ocean views from almost everywhere on the island. Those who hike the seven mile round trip Clay Head Trail are rewarded with a picturesque sunset spot surrounded by bluffs and sandy beaches.
