Exeter Elms Campground

7 ReviewsAdd Review

Campers looking to combine river access with full hookups will find Exeter Elms Campground positioned along a waterway in southeastern New Hampshire. This private facility operates seasonally from May through October, offering sites with electric, water, and sewer connections alongside primitive camping options and waterfront sites.

The campground's internal roads present challenges, with multiple reviewers noting significant potholes that affect site access. The river running through the property provides opportunities for canoeing and kayaking, though water levels and debris can impact paddling conditions. Sites vary considerably in upkeep and spacing, with some seasonal areas showing signs of long-term neglect while others maintain better conditions.

Full amenities include restrooms with showers, a dump station, and WiFi access throughout the grounds. The facility offers cabin rentals in addition to traditional camping sites. Sara C. notes "primitive camping, waterfront sites & cabins available" along with pool access and canoe rentals during operating season.

Nightly rates range from $45-59 depending on site type and season. The location provides access to New Hampshire's seacoast region, with staff receiving positive mentions from visitors. For those wanting different amenities, Wakeda Campground, LLC operates nearby with alternative facilities.

Reviews reveal mixed experiences with family activities and some friendly staff as highlights. However, recurring complaints addressed poor site maintenance, potholed roads, and inconsistent facilities quality.

Super Nice Staff!

Went here with my hockey buddies for my second-ever trailer adventure. Staff could not have been nicer! Site across the path was a little loud, but we were too I imagine... bet it'd be lots of fun for the kiddos.

Not a bad camping Spot

Sites weren’t bad, clean campground, pool & canoe rentals, family activities offered, short drive to the beaches. Primitive camping, waterfront sites & cabins available :)

Worst campground!

This campground does not even deserve the one star. When you first drive-in the potholes are ridiculous and the sites are unkempt. We would never stay there again!

Don't bother

Unkempt, potholed roads, "river" for kayaking was blocked by downed branches, and was barely a "river" by definition. Pillow, bounce pad costs extra ($8) for maybe an hour. It was only open for a couple hours a day. Some seasonal sites looked like they hadnt been touched for years...almost like a horror flick. Maybe they should turn this into a haunted destination. We rented a cabin, and it had mouse poop all throughout. It was definitely rustic, which we honestly didnt mind, but the mouse droppings, and the sinking floor next to the tub was a bit too much.
