Exeter Elms Family Campground

If you’re still craving some time in the water, head to Hampton Beach State Park, 25 minutes’ drive away, for sea swimming and bathhouses or, if you prefer to keep your feet on dry land, the park is a top spot for hiking and biking. You can also explore the gardens and trails at Prescott Park or go walking and wildlife spotting at Sagamore Creek, both within 30 minutes of the site. While up in Portsmouth for Prescott Park and Sagamore Creek, there are plenty of museums to visit and walking tours to join – a trip to the USS Albacore maritime museum aboard a decommissioned submarine is a must. Fans of a tipple should make their way around the breweries, vineyards and distilleries within 20 minutes of Exeter Elms. Not much of a drinker? Get your buzz elsewhere: nab a prime spot at the New England Dragway, 15 minutes away, and let the smell of burning rubber fill your nose.
