Wakeda Campground is a friendly family campground, nestled in the pines only 8 miles from Hampton Beach. A mile off the road, surrounded by woods, Wakeda is a world all its own. Wakeda first “opened its woods” to campers in 1965 and is owned and operated by three generations of the Savage family. Located just 20 minutes from Historic Portsmouth, the Kittery Outlets and beautiful Newburyport, MA, as well as just an hour north of Boston, we’re the perfect vacation home base! Come enjoy all the wonderful beaches, dining, shopping, outdoor and family-friendly attractions the Seacoast and surrounding region has to offer, or simply enjoy the peace and tranquility of life beneath Wakeda’s towering pines!

Friendly and fun

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

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

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 

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.
