We stayed At Wakeda Campground overnight during a trip from Maine back to Long Island, NY.  It was located very close off of 95 and allows pets.  We were overwhelmed by the beautiful massive forest.  The campground was splendid with old tall, pine trees everywhere.  They offered electric,  water, and sewer hook up, trading post that had camping goods and snacks, WiFi hotspot, pool table, and lounging area.  They also had a game room, miniature golf, coffee shop and dog park.  

The first campsite they assigned to us was very secluded but unfortunately, we were coming in during a major rainstorm.  That site was a little flooded so we chose another.  It still had beautiful trees surrounding it but not as secluded from neighbors.  There are also many seasonal campers there but all of their sites were beautifully decorated with flowers and such.  Everyone was friendly that we encountered during our stay.  

We had bathrooms located near our site.  They were four separate bathrooms that had a sink and toilet and were clean.  They did offer showers in another area but I did not use them.  

Walking around we saw wild turkeys, bunnies, and a hummingbird.  It would have been great if they offered a nature trail in the campground since the forest was so beautiful.  There were paths that went into the woods but they were marked for employees only.  

The next day we wanted to go for a hike before we hit the road.  Unfortunately, the state parks near the campsite do not allow dogs during late Spring to early Fall.  Using our Bring Fido App, we found Rails to Trails nearby that we could bring our dog and hiking cat.  We did the Salisbury Point Ghost Trail that was nice and shady, though flat, but a nice leisurely walk for all of us.  


Beautiful forest

We have been camping here for many years. The staff and seasonal campers are all very friendly. The campground and bathrooms are kept very clean. 

Love this place

Great employees, clean reliable power. No issues great spread out sites

Great campground

Great employees, clean reliable power. No issues great spread out sites   

Great campground 

Employees are very welcoming and the place is clean.  Quite big but secluded spots at the same time.  Nice and clean toilets and showers(paid).  A very good option if you go to Hampton Beach.

Awesome welcome

I came here last year with my dog.  We only stayed two nights.  It was his first time camping, so I made a note in my reservation request that I'd like a fairly remote site - just in case he got loud.  They put me in the perfect site, near the dog park (they have a dog park!).  When the forecast changed to thunderstorms, they let me switch my dates without any hassle.  The location is convenient for Newburyport, Portsmouth, and the Seacoast.   We ended up having a lovely stay.

  

Just a note, I took my dog for a walk around the campground and noticed that many of the other sites were rather close together - including the cabins.  Some people don't mind, and even enjoy, close neighbors.  If you're like me, however, you'll want to ask for a more remote site.

  

One more thing to note; I booked through Rover Pass and ended up paying them a fee.  Next time I'll contact the park directly.

  

I'm looking forward to another trip soon!

Friendly, with a great location

Nice campground.  Clean, quiet, well maintained.  Lots of pine trees so pine needles and pine pitch can be a slight issue.  Staff is friendly and good amenities but no pool.

Nice Camp Ground

We stayed for a night as a getaway. Already planning our next trip back. Very friendly staff and very friendly neighbors. 

First time camping experience 

We stayed for two nights at Wakeda with our travel trailer. The paved roads were a plus, as was a very level campsite. The majority of campers seemed to be there for the season and were their own little community. 

  

Our full hookup site was very close to other sites, so unfortunately we had to deal with some noise issues. We could hear our neighbors loudly talking at 2 AM, and also were treated to the sound of the same neighbor's dog barking for hours during the when they left him alone. That being said, this was not the fault of the campground itself.

  

Wakeda's proximity to Hampton Beach was awesome -- a less than 15-minute drive for us. We also enjoyed the dog park. It was spacious and well maintained.

Seasonal camper oriented, but comfortable for a short stay

Its a nice no frills campground. We stayed in one of cabins and it served its purpose especially during a passing storm. It was nice to sit in the front porch and watch the storm. The location is great being 10 minutes or so from Hampton beach. Lots of little farms in the area too. Would definitely book another few nights.

Nice campground

Hot showers, laundry mat, large sites, clean, big campground, Badminton &amp; playground, good separation between sites! And they’ve got a little mini golf area!!! :))) Conveniently located near the beach! 
We have nothing bad to say about this campground &amp; had zero issues :) 

Good campground, no complaints :)

Nice clean camp ground. Beautiful dog park with agility course. Restrooms were clean and centrally located. 

Great for kids and dogs! 

Every site is big. Clean. Store is reasonable. Things for kids to do. Bring bug spray!!
