Detailed Reviews
We stayed for 4 nights in August and it was great.
The staff were helpful and Friendly.
The washrooms and showers were very clean.
The pool was great for my kids(7 & 12).
The campground is very close to Hampton Beach which was a plus.
Lots of shopping,grocery stores close by.
I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Went to this camp group with our 25ft RV. Nice welcome from very pleasant owners and the site we had was absolutely fine but nothing more.
This place is in a beautiful setting and has the potential to be great but at this stage it is only potential. Sadly the general upkeep is only average, showers were pretty poor and tough to get working, toilets were clean, outdoor pool was nice, site table/fire pit was ok.
All in all it was fine for one night but frustrating that you felt it could be much much better...

The new owners are amazing! If your looking for a campground close to the beach and Portsmouth, this is the place! They have a pool, clean sites and bathrooms. Also games and a playground. They can take up to 40ft in the back inside. They have three pull thoughts that could take bigger rvs. Also they added cabins and they have a banquet hall too. They have it all!!!

my husband and I arrived 4 hours prior to check in and they were so kind and checked us in early as our site had no one on it ! from the time we checked in we had nothing but great service we quickly set up and then went to go grab a bite to eat and see some sights and came back grabbed some firewood chatted it up with the manager's ... we had some terrible weather tornado warning and heavy heavy rain but they came around warned us of the weather and that we could go to the game room if we felt safer ... the assisted when we were looking for a special store and even called to see if they were open seeing it was a holiday they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay we lounged around the campground one whole day cooking breakfast on the open fire then swimming in the pool even an attempt at playing horse shoes with my husband they were wonderful we already know what site we will book for our next trip there they are only 6 to 7 miles away from Hampton beach and several other attraction's but campground is quiet and very relaxing we truly enjoyed our stay and will be back

We stayed at The Green Gate for the third time in four years and it was great as usual. We had a tent and were located just near a small forested area, far for everyone else, but still close to the restrooms and showers (which are clean, but the water in the showers is a bit cold). The kids were able to go play at the playground, which has seen better years but is still ok to play, or swim in the swimming pool. Sites are generally big and there are many many pine trees everywhere. Every time we went, there were plenty of unoccupied sites which is nice, because there are not too many people. Only 20 minutes from Hampton Beach.

Quiet, clean and affordable. The best part is the owners are humble and gracious. I hope they don't sell... But there were rumors of it when we stayed in 2012. You will enjoy your stay there. We went to Green Gate after the nightmare of being mistreated by the Black Bear campground owners and staff. The Green Gate is well worth staying in Exeter. It takes10 min to beach :-)) and we were close to markets and stores.

We are locals...Newburyport. Bought our Camper at Campers Inn in Kingston. We are first time camper owners and were very nervous how to operate it all. We wanted to stay local. The campground was extremely clean and well maintained. The office staff was very nice. There really was not a camp store only a ice cream machine/ ice/wood which was a little disappointing only because I like to poke around. I also wish there they had cable hookup. The campground was very quiet with family oriented guests. We did not use the pool but it looked well maintained. I would absolutely stay there again.

We were looking forward to our first stay here after talking to the new owners at a show and hearing good things about the campground. Unfortunately it was not too nice. First the good stuff; the entry way was night and paved, the playground looked ok and the owner was very nice. We did not look at the bathrooms so we cannot comment on those. Now for the bad, unfortunately; one of our reservations was lost so it too a long time to check in and figure everything out, the pool could be nice as the water was clear but the walls and the bottom were very dirty and did not look good, needed either a good cleaning or painting, the sites were in desperate need of some TLC some re-grading and general clean up and brush clearing. In addition some trees need to come down as they make it very difficult to get into some sites or even use others. Also some sites are very small and the smaller seasonal sites have items crossing over to other sites making things very crowded. Some seasonal sites were ok but others were very clutter and had 2-3 sheds or wood additions etc. in general we found the site area to very messy, if this is an improvement over what it was I sure would not have liked in before. There is no store to speak off, the office had 4 bundles of wood and a few ice creams and that was all. Also we had to sign a paper saying we had to burn there wood or face a $1000 fine. I guess I could go on but I think you can get my point. We had been on a great run of nice campgrounds until this one. Due to the location we hoped this would of been nice but we do not plan on returning.

Hi GaryWT, thank you for your review and feedback. We strive to make sure all of our guests have a pleasant and comfortable stay and we are disappointed that we did not meet your expectations. We work hard to keep our campsites, and the campground as a whole, clean and organized. However please know that your comments are appreciated and that we will always work on improving our campground. The policy on out-of-state firewood and corresponding fine is per NH state law and is one that we are required to abide by. We do hope that you visit us again for a better experience. Thank you.
