Gravel and sand underfoot, the Lamprey River running alongside the sites, Wellington Camping Park has a layout that keeps water access central to the experience. Tent sites sit directly on the riverbank, while RV sites provide full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. Sites are wide enough that reviewers note parking a truck beside a camper still leaves room for a safe fire pit setup. The campground draws a mix of overnight visitors and seasonal regulars, giving it a neighborhood feel that some campers appreciate and others may want to factor into their expectations.
Amenities are solid and well-maintained. The shower and toilet facilities have drawn consistent praise for cleanliness across multiple visits. The office connects to a rec room with a pool table, and the campground rents canoes for river access. A dog-specific beach area makes this a workable option for pet owners. Firewood runs $6 per seasoned bundle. One recurring caveat: WiFi becomes unreliable after 8am, and cell signal is spotty enough that some campers have had to walk the grounds to find a usable connection.
"A peaceful campground I would gladly stay again," notes Harold C., whose review also confirms the sturdy electrical service and two-inlet sewer connections on RV sites. The Portsmouth coast is roughly 30 minutes away, making this a reasonable base for day trips to harbor areas and coastal restaurants. Rates run $45-55 per night with reservations available. Campers wanting a different setup nearby can look at Jellystone Park™ Glen Ellis or Ferndale Acres for additional options in the area.
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 the Wellington's sons. If you need anything, find a Wellington - we are happy to help.
