Carr Point Recreation Area

This would be the perfect recreational camp ground if there was a pavilion with full showers and bathrooms. Aside from that it's a beautiful overlook of the bay with nice gazebos, a couple ball fields, a volleyball court and plenty of picnic tables. A wonderful place for a picnic.

Upsides--Quiet, clean, great view. Downsides--No bathhouse (does have an outhouse), no shower, no sewer hookup, no dump station (told to go to another campground and use their's for a fee), no handicapped site, and the office is over 5 miles away. Hint to management--not all campers have toilets and showers and there are a lot of disabled people who camp.

Site need a little work, gravel, other than that, pretty nice location. Beautiful views. I'll be back! I have included pictures of nearby Newport, RI. Sites have water and electric, 20, 30, 50 amp service. Excellent water pressure.

My only complaint is the post for the left entrance gate is broken, and it has been that way for at least 2 years, in spite of my requests it be fixed.nnGeorge Allen
