Kingdom Swim--places to stay?

I'm doing the Kingdom swim again this year and hoping to find someplace to stay. I have not sense of what towns are within reasonable driving distance to Newport. Last time we stayed at the hotel right in town and I had to get up in the middle of the night to yell at the women next door, in town for the softball tournament. I'd like to get more sleep before this year. Any suggestions? We're not much for B&Bs but the options seem pretty limited up there... Thanks folks.
