Great Bay Camping

I spent two nights at a site right on the river. The tall pines provided shade for the hot days. The sunsets were spectacular, as well as the sunrise! The host is friendly and helpful - guiding me to my site and helping me back in. I was right next to the dock to enjoy the peaceful water. The campground was quiet and guests were so respectful of my site - hardly even knew others were fishing or enjoying the dock. Bathrooms were spotless and seemed newly redone. Easy walk to The Shell for more ice/firewood. Quick access to Newfields Country Store for fabulous sandwiches - their chicken salad is the best I’ve had and made on fresh baked bread. This camp is Also close to Newmarket and Exeter and only 20mn to the ocean. Delightful experiences.

If you blink you might miss the sign for the camp grounds, hidden in the gas station sign. We again camped with family, we were able to face each other and had a nice space in between us. Pool was open, as well as laundry and bath house. Pool was refreshingly cold on the hot weekend we were there. Boys did some fishing, only caught a eel. The bath house was clean and showers were large and looked really nice! The owner fogged our site but it didn't help fire long. Those bugs out there are vicious. No amount of bug spray help me or the kids. The eagles were beautiful to watch!!

Wonderful little campground right off the main road but far enough back that you feel like you’re in the middle of the woods! Very quiet and relaxing. Pool, bathrooms, playground, and laundry room were open even though their website says they aren’t. There’s a shell station in front of the campground (you can’t see it though from the campground) and a Dunkin’ Donuts across from that. Downtown Exeter is only about a 10-15 minute drive. The hookups are a little strange as you feel you’re going onto your neighbors site to hook up. Unfortunately our site was mostly sand and had little to no grass- it appeared most the other sites were grass covered. My only suggestion is to bring lots of bug spray!
