Wawaloam campground was established in 1969 when Jim and Maureen Smith started their dream of running a vacation destination for campers visiting the Southern New England area. After a few decades and three generations later, Wawaloam has become a favorite place for campers of all ages.

The campground, named after a Nipmuck Native American Princess, is a family-friendly campground located at 510 Gardiner Road, West Kingston, Rhode Island.
