SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION
Welcome to Rhode Island State Parks. Our parks system has several parks, beaches and campgrounds that can host a variety of events and functions.
If you would like to reserve a site or shelter, you can contact the Park directly. This is a seperate type of permit, and you do not need to apply for a special use permit.
- If you are new to our parks, and not sure what facility would be appropriate for your event or function or would like general information, please email RI State Parks.
- If you already have a location in mind, we recommend you contact the individual facility to confirm that your date is available and that the event or function you would like to host is allowed on that property.
