Newport State Park is a really dark sky, we didn’t have the opportunity to see the stars because was all cloudy at night with all the head-lights off that was dark… We camp on Site 3 and I truly liked that location, my objective was to take some pictures of the Milkyway but wasn’t possible at that time, the Site have nice rocks by the beach special for a foreground by the Lake, we hope to go back and try again!
The sites are for camping with very little commodities, to get to the Site 3 took a walk of one mile from the main parking lot (No. 3) and my family was with me so it took a lot of things to take to the site, family were rookies with the walking and camping by the days we enjoyed the warblers of the place.
Here are some pictures of the Site 3.
There is a pit toilet (warning they don’t maintain it on regular basis), not potable water on sites at least on number 3 & 4.
Place is very quiet! (Not likely with 4 kid’s with you 😛 )
Not shower room in the whole park!
