Description

Wellington Camping Park was started in the summer of 1962 by Avis and Eliot Wellington on the shores of the wild and scenic Lamprey River. It is a family campground with lots of room to roam. The sites are nestled in the woods along the river, with walking trails and meadows to explore and great fishing along the banks or by canoe. The river is shallow and can be crossed in many spots by simply walking.

Our camping park has over 180 acres with 2,500 feet of frontage on the river. We have a recreation hall for those rainy days. Nearby we have horse shoes, volleyball, badminton and tetherball. Within a half-hour drive you will find the Atlantic Ocean and many New Hampshire beaches. The White Mountains are an hour and a half north and the University of New Hampshire is in the next town over.

The campground is now operated by Pat Wellington and her sons. If you need anything, find a Wellington - we are happy to help.

Wellington Campground Summer 2022

This campground is beautiful, the tent sites are set up right on the water. Other than loosing power twice due to mother nature its been a pretty good stay. They have a special beach for your dog if you're a puppy owner like me this is one of the only campgrounds that is very pet friendly. They also have free DVD rentals for those rainy days and some games up by the office if you have kids its also a wonderful campground.

Nice, quiet, quaint campground on Lamprey River

Nice, quiet campground on the Lamprey River, sites are gravel and sand. Sites are wide I parked my truck next to camper and still had enough space for a safe fire in the pit. Nice painted picnic table, water turns on with ball valve, sewer has 2 inlets, electric service was sturdy and proper.

Office has a recroom attached which has a pool table. They do rent canoes for the river. The shower/ toilet house was very clean and open for use. They do sell firewood, a seasoned bundle is $6. A peaceful campground I would gladly stay again.
